Prince Harry and Meghan Markle added to the family

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just couldn’t resist taking it Oh my.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently adopted a 7-year-old beagle that was rescued from a breeding facility in Virginia accused of numerous safety violations.

“The Duchess called me personally” Shannon Keithan animal rights attorney who runs the Beagle Freedom Project said Los Angeles Times On Aug. 24, it was revealed that the call prompted the couple to visit the nonprofit earlier this month.

Although Mia was rescued along with her eight newborn puppies, as Shannon explained, the couple instantly fell in love with the mama beagle during their visit. “The Duchess held Mia in her arms and said, ‘We’re adopting her,'” Keith said. “We need older people that we can help.”

But before they left with their new family member to her new home in Montecito, Kate said Prince Harry made it clear that Mia couldn’t be without a keepsake. “He just said, ‘Well, we can’t leave yet because there’s something in that back house that she needs,'” Shannon recalled. “Does she have a favorite toy or something?”
