The royal family has expanded with Prince William and Princess Kate hard-launching their newest pet.
In a May 1 Instagram post, the Princess of Wales revealed the name of their one-year-old dog.
"Welcome to the family, Otto! 1 today," sharing a photo of a young English cocker spaniel in a grassy meadow, looking stunningly and directly at the camera with wind blowing on its face.
The puppy appears to be the son of the royal couple's black cocker spaniel Orla, who joined the family in 2020, as Kate revealed in February that they kept one male puppy from her 2025 litter. Orla has made several royal appearances, from birthday portraits to charity events.
Otto made his public debut in a family photo shared on Instagram on April 29, celebrating the 15th anniversary of William and Kate's marriage. The photo showed the couple lying on the grass alongside their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 8, as well as the two dogs.
