Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a sweet interaction with a Labrador Retriever at Invictus Games.
While participating in the rolling chair’s curling event on February 9, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Ali Harper and his dog Thorn, who is a 3-year-old black labrador retriever, met and support the mental health trips from the first responders in Yukon.
Seeing Thorn recalled the Duke of Hans and Meghan’s Beagle Guy, who recently died.
“Harry just came over and sat down right next to Thorn and kneeled down and started clapping him and saying how much he misses his dog,” Harper, 43, told People. “And said a lot of thanks for what we do with Thorn.”
She said Meghan also had a “little interaction with Thorn, and then we were able to take a group photo.”
Meghan saved Guy in 2015 from a slain shelter and the couple adopted him. The Duchess even announced her death on her Instagram account with a gripping post including many photos of guy with the family over the years.
“He was with me in suits when I got engaged, (and then married) when I became a mother … he was with me for everything: the quiet, the chaos, the quiet, the comfort,” Meghan wrote.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are also the pet parents of a senior rescue beggle named Mamma Mia and a black labrador named Pula.
