Dogs named Harry, Maeghan have own royal wedding too

A couple of dogs named after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had their own royal wedding in Scotland.

Newfoundland puppy Prince Harry and springer spaniel Maeghan got hitched at a special doggy ceremony in the village of Leslie, Fife.

The pooch pair enjoyed a furrytail wedding at Harry’s owners’- Andrea Johnston, 64, and her daughter Stacey Kilpatrick, 30 – back garden. Maeghan is owned by Helen Teevan, 50.

The two pups met after Andrea and Stacey put out a search for a partner for Harry, after worrying that he might be a bit lonely.

He’d had a major surgery on his cruciate ligament, and his owners thought life was too short and went on the hunt for his own princess.

After finding Harry online, Helen put her dog, Maeghan, forward, thinking the pair would be perfect together – and they were. Soon after meeting, all three owners came together to start planning the royal pooch wedding.

Helen said: ‘When we heard that Harry was looking for his Meghan we thought it would be a bit of a laugh and so put our gorgeous girl forward.

‘We were amazed when she was picked but so glad Maeghan will be Harry’s special furbie friend.’

Last year, the royalist owners of Harry were sent best wishes from Kensington Palace and his human namesake when they wrote to inform them of the inspiration behind his name last year.

She said: ‘We were so excited about the alternative Royal Wedding. We love the Royal family and even named our beloved Harry after Prince Harry.’

Elaine Warburton, of dog holiday company Barking Mad, helped hook the two pooches up.
