Kate Middleton’s brother James Middleton has jokingly revealed that Prince William had to pass a "puppy test" before joining their family.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, James shared the prerequisite Prince William had to meet before marrying his sister Catherine.
As a famous lover of pooches, James was asked whether it was “prerequisite for Prince William to like dogs before he could join the Middleton family?”.
He suggested he was satisfied with the prince’s appreciation for the animals.
“He had a long love of dogs. He had a very strong relationship with a black lab called Wigeon growing up, so he knew the powers of what dogs can do," James told the outlet with a huge smil.
Prince William and Kate Middleton's children have grown up surrounded by dogs, reflecting their parents' love for canine companions.
Their adorable cocker spaniel, Orla, is a cherished member of the family.
Orla, who was a gift from James Middleton, even made an appearance in Princess Charlotte's seventh birthday photos, taken by her mother, Kate.
This isn't the first time James has given a dog to the royal couple. They previously owned a cocker spaniel named Lupo, which was also a gift from James and his wife, Alizée Thevenet.
