During a recent royal engagement, Prince William offered a fascinating glimpse into his family’s life at Adelaide Cottage.
Revealing Pet Stories
While visiting Woodgate Valley Urban Farm in Birmingham last Thursday, the Prince of Wales shared how he and Kate Middleton had several guinea pigs as pets for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Charming Pet Interactions
Prince William charmingly divulged this information while grooming a guinea pig with a child at the facility. He commented, “These guys are pretty cool,” adding, “We’ve got guinea pigs at home and they’re not like this.”
Revealing a rare insight into the household dynamic, he confessed to spending more time caring for the guinea pigs than he’d like to admit. He said, “I spend my life cleaning out the guinea pig cage because the children forget to do it.”
Family’s Animal Companions
Prince William continued, sharing anecdotes about their pets, mentioning the family’s fondness for their chickens who enjoy dried fruit treats.
Love for Dogs
In addition to chickens and guinea pigs, the family is also known for their love of dogs. They adopted a cocker spaniel, Orla, from Kate Middleton’s brother James in 2021 following the death of their beloved dog Lupo.
