Prince William and Kate Middleton’s surprising amount of stamp duty on Forest Lodge revealed

Prince William reveals pet dogs’ naughty habit at Forest Lodge home

Prince William revealed a hilariously relatable habit of his two pet dogs, Orla and Otto – and it’s something every dog owner will understand. During a solo engagement in Cornwall, the 43-year-old Prince of Wales shared that his cocker spaniels love nothing more than chewing up slippers left around the family’s Windsor home, Forest Lodge. While touring Nansledan in Newquay, William stopped to admire an adorable puppy in the crowd. “Oh hello! You’re very sweet,” he said, petting the pup before asking its owner, “Is he chewing anything?” He then confessed to his own pets’ antics, adding, “Ours chew slippers. Anything left on the floor is gone.” Prince William and Princess Kate’s new puppy These mischievous tendencies are likely coming from the family’s newest addition. Just weeks earlier, William and his wife, Princess Kate, formally introduced their second dog to the public to mark his first birthday.  A sweet photo of Otto – a brown spaniel from a litter of Orla’s puppies – was shared on social media on 1 May, with the caption: “Welcome …

Prince William’s deeply personal new approach to power

After the wild success of the King and Queen’s visit to the United States last month, where witty speeches and warm interactions were the order of the day, and the Princess of Wales’ milestone trip to Italy, where she received a rock-star welcome, it was the turn of her husband, the Prince of Wales.

But the current royal family, and William in particular, are embracing the opposite approach. Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen him at his most emotionally open more than ever before – whether dad-dancing at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, coming close to tears while speaking to a bereaved wife and mother or opening up to Eugene Levy at Windsor, he has increasingly been wearing his heart on his sleeve.
