The Prince of Wales then went on to open up about how his own dog, Orla, is supporting him following Her Majesty's passing. He explained, 'Dogs at this time are so important. I give my dog a lot of cuddles at the moment. I've got a little Spaniel called Orla. She's very sweet.'
Kate Middleton, now Princess of Wales, previously shared another touching insight into four-year-old son Prince Louis' reaction to the Queen's death.
'Louis said "at least Grannie is with Great-Grandpa now",' Kate was heard telling a group of children outside Windsor Castle, according to onlooker Banita Ranow. The mourner went on to say that Kate was 'welling up' as she spoke to the children who'd gathered to pay their respects.
