When news surfaced back in August that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had welcomed an adorable new addition to their family, a black Labrador pup, most people assumed it was male and some even went as far as revealing its name – Oz. Well, according to the royal couple, those facts could not be further from the truth!
Whilst the royal couple were visiting the Survivors' Network in Brighton on Wednesday, they finally made reference to their new adopted pup when presented with a framed drawing of her rescue dog Guy, made by artist Henry James Garrett. Talking to the guests gathered around her and Harry she then revealed her pet Labrador was actually a "she" and that people keep "getting her name wrong". The Duchess, however, made sure not to mention her name, we will just have to wait and see!
