Dogs have played an important role in the royal family's public and private lives.
While everybody knows The Queen adores corgis and dorgis, they are not the only breed to have lived alongside members of the royal family.
The family's love of dogs has long been evident through century-old portraits showing the royals posing with their four-legged friends.
With King Charles II of England inspiring the name for King Charles Spaniels, the royal family has made a huge impact in the dog world throughout the years.

The royal's favourite breeds:
The Queen
King George VI introduced a Pembrokeshire Welsh Corgi into the royal household in 1933, sparking the Queen's fascination with the breed.
The dog, who was renamed Duke from Dookie, became an integral part of the family, even making it into royal photo shoots alongside then Princess Margaret and Princess Elizabeth II.
It wasn't until the Queen's 18th birthday in 1944 when she was gifted her own corgi, Susan, who she managed to 'sneak' on her honeymoon with Prince Phillip three years later.
It has been reported Prince Phillip 'loathed' the Queen's dogs because they were "too yappy" - but this didn't stop her from filling Buckingham Palace with them.
The Queen has owned about 30 corgis and dorgis, with Monty, WIllow and Holly making their TV debut alongside Her Majesty and Daniel Craig in a James Bond sketch.
Her dogs have also become the focus of their own animated movie called The Queen's Corgis, which stars Jack Whitehall and Dame Julie Walters as voice actors.
The animated movie provides an insight into what life might be like for the Queen's dogs, and includes mention of the 'Corgi Room', where the dogs sleep in elevated wicker baskets
Credited for creating the dorgi breed, Queen Elizabeth II is said to be very hands on with her dog and walks them around the Palace grounds every day.
She is known for giving her dogs' unusual names including Bisto Oxo, Whisky, Cider, Spick, Span, Bushy and Brush.
Her Majesty currently has two corgis, one of which is called Muick, a dorgi, named Candy, and recently welcomed a cocker spaniel who has been affectionately named Lissy.
The four-year-old dog is the Queen's first gundog champion and means she has reversed her self-imposed year-long ban on new royal dogs.
Prince Charles
Before marrying Princess Diana, Prince Charles owned a yellow labrador called Harvey.
However, the labrador is said to have sparked arguments between the couple, with royal biographer Penny Junor claiming Charles ended up rehoming Harvey in an attempt to “appease the desperately unhappy Diana”.
Seconding this claim, royal author Sally Bedell Smith believes the dog was given up because it reminded Diana of Charles' previous life.
Harvey ended up living out the rest of his life with one of Charles’ advisers.
In 1986, when Prince William was four-years-old and Prince Harry was aged two, the family enjoyed the company of a Jack Russell.
Charles and Diana separated in 1992 and divorced four years later.
Shortly before Diana's untimely death in 1997, her butler revealed the Princess was planning to adopt a golden labrador.
Speaking on Instagram, butler Paul Burell said: “In her childhood, the Princess had many pets, and she longed to have a dog.
"In the last summer of her life, we had made plans for her to buy a golden labrador, but that was not to be.”
Charles went on to own a number of Jack Russells, with one of his dogs, Tigga, becoming somewhat of a ‘celebrity’ in the 1990s, often being spotted in unofficial Christmas cards sitting alongside William and Harry.
Charles, who married Camilla in April 2005, currently owns two Jack Russells, Bluebell and Beth. They were both rescued by Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, where the Duchess of Cornwall is Royal Patron.
The couple posed for a picture alongside their pets to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary in April 2020.
Prince William and Duchess Kate
After saying goodbye to their English cocker spaniel, Lupo, the Cambridges welcomed an eight-month-old puppy into their lives.
They wrote on social media: "Very sadly last weekend our dear dog, Lupo, passed away. He has been at the heart of our family for the past nine years and we will miss him so much."
Adopted from Kate's brother, James Middleton, the new cocker spaniel is now growing up alongside the royal couple's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The female puppy was one of "six healthy little pups" birthed by James' dog Luna. He did not keep any of the puppies because "they all had lovely homes waiting for them".
The Cambridges are yet to reveal their new pup's name.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan
Shortly after their marriage in May 2018, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed a back labrador, named Pula, into their family.
The rescue dog has been named after the currency in Botswana, where Harry and Meghan camped under the stars when they were first dating.
Pula lives alongside their beagle, Guy, who Meghan rehomed at an adoption event in Toronto.
Before becoming a royal dog, Guy spent time in a Kentucky shelter after picked up from a woods as a stray. He was later taken to Canada by a charity that rehomes kill list dogs.
