In Meghan Markle’s emotional tribute to late dog Guy, she included a pair of rare photos of her two children playing with the pup.
Meghan, 43, shares son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3, with her husband, Prince Harry. They also have three dogs, one of whom was recently euthanized.
“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,” Meghan wrote via her newly launched Instagram account on Tuesday, January 7. “But they are. And that’s OK too.”
She added, “Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy. You filled my life in ways you’ll never know.”
In a tribute to Guy, Meghan uploaded a slew of personal images with the canine. In one shot, Harry, 40, and Archie twinned in beanies while taking Guy (and other dogs Pula and Mamma Mia) for a walk in front of a horse pasture.
In a second image, Meghan and Lili lounged with the three pups on picnic blankets in a backyard.
Meghan adopted rescue pooch Guy in 2015 when she was living in Canada filming Suits.
“I swooped him up … and fell in love,” she gushed on Tuesday. “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.”
Meghan added, “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.”
Meghan brought Guy with her when she moved to England upon her marriage to Harry — and back to California when the couple left their senior royal posts in 2020. They later expanded their brood with pups Pula and Mia.
“I’ve got three [dogs] in this house now, so we basically have five children,” Harry previously said during an October 2022 WellChild Awards conference call. “I’ve got a black Labrador called Pula, a rescue beagle called Guy and we’ve got another rescue beagle called Mia. Between the three of them, they drudged around chasing the squirrels every day, but they are also emotional support dogs when they’re behaving.”
Harry also appeared in Meghan’s post with several photos of the Duke of Sussex cuddling and petting Guy.
