PRINCESS OF TAILS William and Kate’s cocker spaniel welcomes quads of pups – and royal children are already in love
THE Prince and Princess of Wales’s dog Orla has given birth to quads.
And the royal couple’s children are already said to have fallen in love with the black cocker spaniel’s pups.
A source said: “Mother and babies are doing well.”
But unlike with the arrival of royal tots, there is no official announcement or framed notice on an easel placed outside Buckingham Palace.
And their names have yet to be revealed — and neither has the father’s identity.
Our insider said: “We always thought the patter of tiny feet in the Wales’s household had ended, so the sound of tiny paws will have to do.”

Kate and William posted a photo of Orla online for National Pet Day last month with the comment: “Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives.”

US Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) has called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, citing Trump’s reported comments about Greenland and NATO ally Norway.
