Prince William is spending time with royal offspring of the four-legged variety.
To mark William’s 43rd birthday on Saturday, the official Instagram account for the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a photo showing him sitting on the grass with the couple’s cocker spaniel, Orla, and three of her new puppies.
The post included a simple birthday message from Kate Middleton and the pair’s three children; George, Charlotte and Louis; along with “Orla and the puppies!”
Orla was originally a gift from Kate’s brother, James Middleton, who has six dogs himself and founded a dog food company in 2020.

News that the royal dog had given birth to four puppies broke last month, though the family has stayed mum on the identity of the father. In the photo posted Saturday, William can be seen with three of the puppies and a partially obscured Orla.
