Behind closed doors, the future king and queen of the United Kingdom remain an ordinary married couple with their own domestic habits. Prince William and Kate Middleton surprised royal fans with an unexpected confession about their personal life, revealing that their dog sleeps with them, according to infohub.kz.
During a public engagement, Prince William let slip that he and his wife share a bedroom and even a bed with their beloved pet.
The dog in question is a black cocker spaniel named Orla. The royal family received the dog as a gift from Kate's younger brother, James Middleton, back in 2020. The animal has become a full-fledged member of the family and is used to sleeping in bed with its royal owners, which has sparked lively discussion among fans and experts.
Sleeping with pets is a subject of debate due to hygiene concerns, but experts also point to the clear benefits of the habit. The presence of a pet lowers stress levels, reduces blood pressure and promotes deeper sleep. What's more, the family recently welcomed another spaniel named Otto, Orla's puppy, so there are now even more pets in the household.
