Orla is the Cambridge Black Spaniel gifted to them by Kate’s brother James Middleton just before their previous Spaniel Lupo died. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the Royal Charity Polo Cup in Windsor, raising more than £1million for royally supported charities.
According to Kensington Palace, the following organizations will benefit from the winnings from the competition: SHOUT, The Foundling Museum, The Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, London Air Ambulance, Mountain Rescue England and Wales, The Anna Freud Centre, Family Action, The Forward Trust, East Anglia Children’s Hospice and The Passage.
The match was played at the Castle Ground at Guards Polo Club, just a few miles from Windsor Castle.
The Prince played in a round robin event where three teams competed for the cup.
William was part of the US Polo Assn team that will take on BP Polo and Monterosso Vikings.
The Duchess was photographed petting the Cocker Spaniel holding a glass of Pimms while both she and the dog supported Prince William.
Kate chose to wear a white Emilia Wickstead dress with black detailing on the front paired with brown earrings and black sunglasses.
The outfit coordination with the family spaniel was not lost on one royal fan.
On Instagram, user @teriwilsonauthor said: “Kate looks stunning today as always.

Others added: “So glad they took the dog. This is such a cute picture”
The photo sparked jealousy among some royal fans, and many said Orla has been given the royal treatment of leather-behaved etiquette.
One user said, “I wish my dog behaved without a leash too,” while another added, “I’m so jealous of how well behaved their Spaniel was.
“Mine would have gone off like lightning.”
