There was enough speculation and conversation about Meghan Markle's dogs at this point, that frankly we need a Countrystyle chart to follow what that is happening. A brief reminder: when Meghan met Prince Harry, she had two rescue dogs, Guy and Bogart. When she started dating seriously with Harry and that she moved to London, she only brought one dog, Guy (a Beagle), with her. Bogart stayed in Canada, but it was never clear where he was (Royal Press Officer only stated that Bogart would live with "very good friends" in Canada – yes, the royal press officer issued an official statement on this subject). The reason given was that Bogart was too old to travel to London. Guy, meanwhile, lived all his life in London, as he was photo at a time riding in a car with the Queen.
Okay, we have Guy in London with Meghan and Harry, and Bogart in Canada with anonymous friends (we will not even get into the fact that Bogart would apparently have a twin named Otto – that's a different blog post for a different time). . A few months ago, reports claimed that Meghan and Harry had adopted a new dog, a black lab called Oz (royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith reported the name). A few weeks later, a woman who looked a lot like Meghan was photographed outside the palace with a dog, but the palace claimed that the woman was do not actually the Duchess of Sussex (although the journalist who tweeted the picture claimed to have spoken to the woman, which she was sure she was Meghan). The dog on this picture was not a black lab, nor Guy the Beagle.
Are you still with us? Awesome.
Today, during their day trip to Sussex, Meghan and Harry received a "family portrait" and, upon reviewing it, Meghan confirmed that the new dog was a "family". she ", while saying that people" continued to err in name. " So, that means the new dog is not named Oz! What is his current name? Is she a black lab? Is she the dog of the photo No Meghan ?? And we are always so curious where does Bogart currently live? (Royal journalist Rebecca English note this is similar to the mystery surrounding Kate and William's dog, Lupo, before his identity is finally revealed.) Meanwhile, we wait, not so patiently, for answers.

The fast peck. Still pre-commitment at this point, these two look like students at a party with friends (in the most glamorous sense).

The double grip. For their official engagement announcement, Markle hugged Harry with both hands, positioned just so much so that his ring is in full screen.

the Let the other shine. Sometimes the focus will be on one of the two, and the two instinctively know when to drop attention on each other, as does Harry here.
