Alright, folks, let’s talk about what’s really going on in the palace. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might not be ready for a royal baby just yet, but they’ve welcomed a new member into their furry family. According to People, the couple adopted a new dog this summer, and they’ve named him Oz. But here’s the twist: it seems like Oz isn’t exactly hitting it off with Meghan’s long-time pup, Guy. Let me break it down for you.

Meet the New Royal Pup: Oz

Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan, 37, are now proud parents to a Labrador retriever named Oz. This adorable new addition has been traveling with the couple to their countryside retreat in the Cotswolds and has been living with them at Nottingham Cottage. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, not quite. It turns out that Meghan’s beloved Beagle, Guy, isn’t too thrilled about sharing his space with a newcomer.

Why the Tension Between Guy and Oz?

A source spilled the tea to Ok! Magazine, saying, “The lab absolutely loves Guy, but Guy doesn’t seem to like the new dog at all! Whenever Oz comes near him, Guy nips and tries to distance himself.” It’s clear that Guy is feeling a little territorial, and who can blame him? After all, he’s been Meghan’s loyal companion since long before Oz entered the picture.

Meghan’s Dog History

Now, before Oz came into the picture, Meghan was already a proud dog owner. She had a Labrador-shepherd mix named Bogart, but unfortunately, he stayed behind in Toronto when Meghan moved to London to be with Harry. Bogart was too old to make the flight, so he couldn’t join the royal family. Lucky for Meghan, though, her Beagle, Guy, has been there to keep her company through her transition into royal life. And let’s be honest, it’s probably why Guy’s feeling a little jealous of Oz.

“She’s hopeful that with time, Guy will start to get along with their new furry friend—or at least learn to tolerate him,” the insider added. It’s a classic case of sibling rivalry, but with dogs!

Harry’s Long-Standing Love for Dogs

Did you know that Harry has been wanting to get Meghan a dog since before they even tied the knot? Palace sources revealed that Harry was considering gifting her a pup for Christmas, months before their wedding at St. George’s Chapel. “Harry has been waiting until his circumstances made it practical to have one,” royal biographer Penny Junor previously said. “He absolutely loves dogs.”

And here’s the kicker—dogs love Meghan too! During their official engagement interview last year, Harry joked about how much Queen Elizabeth’s corgis adore her. “The corgis took to you straight away,” Harry teased. “I’ve spent the last 33 years being barked at; this one walks in, and there’s absolutely nothing.” Classic Harry charm!

Meghan didn’t deny the special bond between herself and the royal canines. “That’s true,” she added. “Just laying on my feet during tea, it was very sweet.” Aww, how cute is that?

What’s Next for the Royal Pups?

We’re rooting for Guy and Oz to become best buddies, but in the meantime, we’re counting down the days until Harry and Meghan announce they’re expecting a royal baby. Until then, we’ll keep our eyes on the drama unfolding at Kensington Palace, one wagging tail at a time.
