Meghan Markle has revealed she has “cried too many tears to count” following the death of her rescue dog Guy.
The Duchess of Sussex paid tribute to her beloved pet, thanking him for “so many years of unconditional love” via Instagram on Tuesday.
Markle shared footage of Guy including clips of the beagle playing with Prince Harry and their children Archie and Lilibet.
The Duchess first adopted the beagle from a dog rescue in Canada in 2015. In a caption alongside her Instagram post, she explained: “He had been at a kill shelter in Kentucky and given a few days to live. I swooped him up…. and fell in love.
“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.”
Markle regularly posted footage of the dog on her personal Instagram as well as on her website The Tig.
She continued: “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.
“He endured a terrible accident shortly before I moved to the UK which had him undergoing surgeries for several months and unable to leave the clinic.
“Doctors said he would never walk again, but Dr Noel Fitzpatrick said he could do it. H and I would drive late at night, after hours, to see Guy as he recovered in Surrey for months on end.
“I will always be grateful to Noel and his team, the team at Queen West Animal Hospital in TO, our vets now, and my friends and community: Thank you for loving him so.”
Last week the Duchess announced a new show on Netflix, which the streaming service has described as a lifestyle show that blends “practical how-tos and candid conversation”.
In her Instagram post, she continued: “Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too.
“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. But they are. And that’s okay too.”
