Why Meghan Markle Had To Leave Her Dog Behind After Becoming A Royal

When Meghan Markle was planning her move to the United Kingdom, she owned two dogs, Bogart, a mixed breed, and Guy, a beagle, The Blast reported. Although the latter, Guy, moved with her, Bogart stayed behind (via ET Canada). A statement released at the time by Kensington Palace to The Blast explained, “It takes a toll on an animal to travel so far across [the] Atlantic combined with the hard, long process of getting approval … It’s in the best interest of the animal’s well being to stay.”

However, there was reportedly a different reason for Markle not bringing Bogart along with her and Guy. “Meghan adored that dog, but the decision not to take him back was based on Bogart’s relationship with Harry,” a source told The Sun. The same source stated that Markle did not think it would be fair to her dog to have him living with her husband (via The Sun).
