Victoria took Rio with her work day today, to the annual meeting of WWF's Council in Ekolsund Castle and to an excursion to Hjälstaviken.

Rio must not like staying home! It feels like he gets out more (officially, too) than any other royal pet.

 

[Countessmeout]

Her father has been known to bring his as well.

Only non Swedish royal who I can even picture bringing their dog on an official duty (not a portrait or unofficial like polo match) is Camilla who has brought her dogs when she visits the dog shelter she patron of.

Victoria took Rio with her today when she visited the Ängsö National Park in the Stockholm Archipelago.

Princess Caroline of Monaco sometimes totes her little dachshunds around on official visits in the Principality.

King Carl Gustaf inaugurated the traditional Enthusiast Vehicle Exhibition at Solliden on Sunday, and had his dog Brandie with him.

Is Carl XVI Gustaf's dog a Dachshund?

 

[Prinsara]

Is Carl XVI Gustaf's dog a Dachshund?

A much bigger hound, but I don't know exactly what kind.

I wonder how long he's had her?

Sad news for Grand Duke Georgij and Princess Victoria - their doggy Zhong has just died:

[Adda]

Poor Jan, left alone without the girls, hopefully Felipe will remember what kind of dog-friendly life he once had before meeting Letizia (who dislikes animals) and will pay some serious attention to the poor doggo.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

I think he has a buddy, didnt Leonor get a labrador too at her communion?

 

[Adda]

Yes, Sara the brown Lab. Both doggies aren't allowed to be inside the palace. Poor angels. I once read that the Guardia Civil officers of Zarzuela are the ones to look after the animals.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

Labradors are the prime example of family dogs lets hope that Letizia is allergic ?

 

[LadyFinn]

King Carl Gustaf participated on 4th September in an Agricultural field trip with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Djurgården. And of course he had his dog Brandie with him.

Victoria, you need to get him to wear boots.

 

[LadyFinn]

Victoria, you need to get him to wear boots.

Maybe, but Rio had fun anyway.

 

[Lady Daly]

I really enjoy this thread seeing the many royals with their pets i.e.their dogs.

 

[Curryong]

Yes, dogs are great fun, but I’ve always wondered why royals don’t seem to have pet cats, though some have horses and ponies of course. However the only royal I’ve heard of who really loves cats is Princess Michael of Kent.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

I am equally passionate about both dogs and cats. I agree that I wish we read more about cat loving Royals.

Aiko has a cat. The only other one I can think.

I love dogs but cats are my passion. I wish there were more royal cats.

 

[EllieCat]

She's not strictly royal, but here's a charming photo of Franziska Gräfin Fugger von Babenhausen with cat, and she looks delighted about it.

Seven is adorable! That photo was in 2016. I wonder if he is still alive?

 

[EllieCat]

Here's a royal brunei picture; their cat was so important it was included in the wedding photo!
