Royals and Their Pets

[Lee-Z]

the story about the unfortunate death of Laika
Schwäbische Zeitung das Onlineportal
(in german)

Google Translate can't pick up the URL to translate to english, but basically, when the princely couple were on christmas vacation in 2000/2001, Laika stayed at home (where obviously there was staf to look after the dog; you can also find articles on internet which imply that Philippe and Mathilde just abandoned him, but that's not the case).
One of the staff members had tied the dog's leash to a doorknob for a only short while, and Laika got tangled up in the leash and unfortunately chocked...

Ziggy looks like a very lively, and friendly dog. Is he/she a collie?

After King Edward VII's demise, his dog Caesar would not go near Queen Alexandra. Alexandra had taken a strong dislike to Caesar. The Queen was furious when a publisher issued a memoir of Edward VII, with Caesar's picture on the cover, entitled, "Where's Master?"

ok, I know this thread is about dogs, but, at the risk of somebody chucking something at my head (hehehehe), I must ask, which, if any, of the royals have cats?

Royals and horses, Royals and dogs - but Royals and koalas!

This is the pet that they really want. (Well, maybe not Camilla.)

What a wonderful gallery of koala bear pictures! Its nice too that there are royals in them too. I absolutely adore those fuzzy little bears and do have a good sized stuffed koala bear that a friend brought me from Australia years ago.

Thank you so much for posting these.

ETA: Thanks for alerting me of the YouTube video you added with Charles and Camilla with the koalas. I'd love to actually have a koala but unfortunately, there's no eucalyptus trees to be found in my area. Animals are best left in their natural habitat when possible or with people that know and understand what is suited for the animal.

Royal pets - cute pictures etc.

With all the threads we have on these forums, i couldn't find one for "cute pet pics", so I'd like to start it with this one ?

May there be many more ?

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Aw, what a little cutie! He/she looks like a bichon frise. Does anyone know what their dog's name is or what gender it is if not?

 

[Countessmeout]

Apple is indeed a bishon. She also made an appearance when Henrik started.

Apple seems to be Maries. Joachim has or had a spaniel named Winston.

that dog is a real pro at these media-meets

Royal pets

Does anybody know if any royals have other pets besides dogs, cats or horses? We keep pet rats. It's how my husband and I met. They make wonderful pets, very engaging and clean, and they get on well with each other so you have more than one, unlike hamsters. We've got three girls, all different colours. I know Princess Diana had a pet guinea pig when she was a girl. I think he was called Peanuts. There is a famous picture of Diana with him.

 

[Skippyboo]

There is Marvin, the Cambridge's hamster.

Sun Lion:
Thank you for posting all those great picture. Koalas are adorable! I've only seen them at the San Diego zoo and always there are oohs and aahs! I esapecially liked Prince Harry being handed what looked like a young one and Princess Victoria with her face on another. Who can resist animals!

 

[Princess Squirrel]

There is Marvin, the Cambridge's hamster.

Oh yes, you are correct! I remember reading it at the time. Cute. I think keeping pets teaches kids kindness and responsibility. Of course I don't hold with parents who give the pets away if their children lose interest. What kind of lesson does that teach? The parents have to be prepared to step in and take over. I'm pretty sure that our two last rats were the pets of children who got bored with them, as their names were Elsa and Marshmallow like in the film Frozen.

Apple is adorable.

Even Caroline looks a little worried -

https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/galleries/x701/204273.jpg

LOL!! I very clearly remember seeing this photo when it was first published in a tabloid in the wake of Caroline 's separation from Philippe Junot over the caption "HE'S THE JEALOUS TYPE!"

That was the early 80's, and poor Caroline was the focus of a paparazzi and tabloid onslaught that makes the current fixation on her daughter Charlotte seem like nothing.

 

[Countessmeout]

I cant stop laughing looking at that photo. Not sure why it hit me so hard but something about it is hilarious. Maybe not if you were whoever the dog was aimed at.

Was it really her pet, or did they have like the guard dog in the car for some reason? He definitely didn't like the press either way.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

He was definitely Caroline's dog Countessmeout. His name was "Onyx" if I remember correctly and he and Caroline were inseparable for a while after her divorce.

I cracked up laughing when I first saw the photo years ago and even now it still makes me laugh...I wish her daughter Charlotte could have her own Onyx today!

Royals and Cats

Hi, this is just about a little observation I've made but why aren't there any royals with pet cats? It's just that I'm a cat person and I'd just like to know why is it that any time I see a royal with a pet it's always a dog. Are cats just not popular or something? Why aren't there any cats?
