Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's adorable name for their new dog

  • 03/09/2018

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have settled on a name for their new fur baby, a black Labrador retriever.

Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith says the Duke and Duchess have called their new pet Oz, according to the Daily Mail.

While the name could well be a nod to L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, some are speculating it was inspired by the couple's upcoming trip to Australia.

Last month, a royal source told the Daily Mail the royal pooch was "happily ensconced" at the couple's Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace.

"The dog will divide its time between the palace and their country home in the Cotswolds."

Oz already has himself a furry sibling, too. Meghan flew over her pet beagle, Guy, when she moved from Canada to England.

She was forced to leave behind Labrador-Shepard mix Bogart, who was deemed too old to make the journey.

People magazine reported that Guy sat at the former Suits star's feet as she had her make-up done on her wedding day.
