Bedtime in Adelaide cottages is more relevant than you might imagine.
Prince William has revealed what his and his wife Kate Middleton’s sleeping arrangements will be like at their Adelaide cottage.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have been living in the luxurious estate located on the grounds of Windsor Castle for more than two years.
They live in the five-bedroom abode with their three children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6 – as well as their beloved Cocker Spaniel, Orla.
During a recent outing in Cornwall, England, William spoke to the audience and revealed that he and Middleton, whom he married in 2011, share the bed with the family dog most nights.
,[William] He said his little dog sleeps in the bed with him and Kate at night. [He was] I absolutely love my little dog,’ royal fan Louise Harland tells local radio station,
“She asked what breed he was and he’s never met any of those breeds, he’s a cockerel, so he’s a bit of a unique combination.”
While Orla did not attend the future king and queen’s royal engagement, she was featured in a 2022 photo with Princess Charlotte to mark her birthday that year.
And last year, Orla was spotted at a polo match where she was seen with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
It’s no surprise that the name Orla has a royal meaning behind it. When translated into Gaelic, the name means “golden princess.”
Orla is not the family’s first pet. Wells previously had a dog named Lupo, which Middleton’s brother, James, gifted her as a wedding gift in 2011. Lupo died in November 2020 at the age of 9.
The Wells family are known as pet lovers, and even have some farm animals on their property.
During a visit to Woodgate Valley Urban Farm earlier this year, William excitedly met some guinea pigs.
“These guys are really cool. We have guinea pigs at home and they’re not like that,” she said at the engagement.
“I have to spend my life cleaning guinea pig cages because kids forget to do it. And then they run away because you have to handle them all the time, that’s why they’re so calm.
“The ones we have at home are closed,” he added. “You have to constantly pet them and take care of them.”
