Magazine.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Admitting to being &#8220;really fortunate&#8221; to have close family, the founder of the Dogs Trust revealed that his dogs also have family connections.<\/p>\n<p>Lupo, one of Ella&#8217;s puppies, was a beloved companion to the Prince and Princess of Wales until his death in November 2020. Now, the couple have Orla, a black cocker spaniel who was also bred by James.<\/p>\n<p>It is pertinent to mention that both dogs are part of the royal family\u2019s long-standing affection for canines: Queen Elizabeth II and King George VI were devoted to corgis, while King George V owned collies and terriers.<\/p>\n<p>When asked why the royal family seem to have love for dogs, the brother of Kate Middleton explained, &#8220;I think it\u2019s because dogs don\u2019t care who you are. A dog looks at the King or Queen the same way that my dogs look at me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think, in everyone\u2019s life, they are the best secret-keepers. I don\u2019t think dogs can tell a lie, because I always know which dog it is that\u2019s maybe raided the bin, but they can\u2019t tell your secrets,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Taking on a dog is a huge responsibility. You can\u2019t just jump to it and then figure it out. You\u2019ve got to plan appropriately and properly,&#8221; James noted about welcoming an addition to the family.<\/p>\n<p>James Middleton, who is youngest brother of Kate Middleton and Pippa Middleton, wrote in his 2024 memoir\u00a0<i>Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life,<\/i> &#8220;I think dogs complete me in a way that I struggle to fully explain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve written about my dog Ella and I still can\u2019t quite pinpoint how it is that they complete me in that way, but I think it is their selflessness. They become part of you and that\u2019s why losing a dog is so challenging, because you lose a little bit of yourself,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thenews.com.pk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kate Middleton brother James reveals why royal family loves dogs Kate Middleton&#8217;s brother James Middleton shared some insights during his cover shoot for Hello!
