Meghan Markle shared rare pictures and videos of her children, Archie and Lilibet, in a video she posted about her dog.
The Duchess of Sussex lost her beloved dog, Guy, and took to her newly created Instagram page to pay tribute to him after his death. She put together a touching video made up of multiple pictures and videos of Guy with her and Prince Harry and the kids. At one point in the clip, Prince Harry was seen with Archie, six, and the dog.
Archie held Guy on a leash as they enjoyed a sunny walk. Another snap showed Meghan holding onto Lilibet, three, as the family's dogs napped around them on a picnic blanket. In one video, Archie could be heard saying: "He's going to fall" while he sat in the car with his mum and dog, before Meghan reassured him that the pup was safe.
The Suits actress adopted Guy - who had been at a kill shelter in Kentucky and 'given a few days to live' from a dog rescue in Canada in 2015. In the caption, she wrote: "I swooped him up….and fell in love. They referred to him as ‘the little guy’ because he was so small and frail, so I named him ‘Guy’. And he was the best guy any girl could have asked for.
"If you followed me on instagram back in the day, you saw a lot of him - and on The Tig too. He was with me at Suits, when I got engaged, (and then married), when I became a mom….he was with me for everything: the quiet, the chaos, the calm, the comfort.
He endured a terrible accident shortly before I moved to the UK which had him undergoing surgeries for several months and unable to leave the clinic.
"Doctors said he would never walk again, but Dr Noel Fitzpatrick said he could do it. H and I would drive late at night, after hours, to see Guy as he recovered in Surrey for months on end. I will always be grateful to Noel and his team, the team at Queen West Animal Hospital in TO, our vets now, and my friends and community: Thank you for loving him so."
She continued: "Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too. I have cried too many tears to count - the type of tears that make you get in the shower with the absurd hope that the running water on your face will somehow make you not feel them, or pretend they’re not there. But they are. And that’s okay too.
"Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy. You filled my life in ways you’ll never know".
Meanwhile, both Meghan and Prince Harry have previously shared small details about their adorable children. Harry once said that Lilibet looks a lot like his late mother Princess Diana, and how pleased he was that her Spencer genes had been passed onto his kids. "I think at the moment I see a lot of my wife in Archie and a lot of my mum in Lilibet," Harry said in the series he and Meghan made for Netflix about their love story.
"She's very Spencer-like," the Duke said, adding Lilibet boasts "the same blue eyes" as Diana, and a "sort of like a golden, red-ish hair".
When appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Harry noted again that he sees his mother in his daughter, joking that the "ginger gene is a strong one" and "The Spencer gene is very, very strong."
