He was the first of her three beloved dogs. In a video shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the Duchess of Sussex announced the death of her beagle Guy. An old doggie who had accompanied her in the joyful and trying times of the last ten years.
Back on Instagram for a few days, Meghan Markle shared a particularly personal video on January 7. The Duchess of Sussex has indeed announced the death of her beloved dog, Guy, a beagle that she adopted in 2015, when she was still an actress on the series “Suits”. A sad announcement which comes a week before the launch of his new Netflix series in which he will appear.
In the caption of a video compiling souvenir images of her beloved dog, Meghan Markle begins her long message by recounting that she had adopted Guy from a shelter in Canada. “I picked it up…and I fell in love.” They called him 'the little guy' because he was so small and fragile, so I called him 'Guy'. And he was the best guy a girl could have asked for. »

“I hope you can understand why his loss upsets me so much. I think you might fall a little in love with him too. I've shed too many tears to count – the kind of tears that make you take a shower with the absurd hope that the water running down your face will somehow make you not feel them , or will act as if they were not there. But they are there. And that's normal too. »
Guy, first of three family dogs
The mother of Archie and Lilibet – who make a few rare appearances in his video montage – ends her message by thanking Guy for “all these years of unconditional love”. “You have filled my life in ways you will never know. »
