‘Devastated’ Meghan Markle shares tribute to beagle Guy with sweet video of kids Archie & Lilibet singing ‘we love you’
MEGHAN Markle has released unseen family footage in a tribute to her beloved dog.
A compilation video shared by the Duchess of Sussex on Instagram in memory of Guy the beagle, includes never before seen clips of her kids Archie and Lilibet singing “we love you”.
In a touching post, she said: “Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy.
“You filled my life in ways you’ll never know.”
Photos and video also feature Prince Harry who is seen on a walk with Guy and Archie.
While Lilibet is seen on a picnic with Meghan and the little pet.
ADOPTION
The duchess adopted the beagle in 2015 from a rescue shelter in Canada where he was referred to as “the little guy” due to his tiny size and frail condition.
She previously posted about him on social media as well as her blog The Tig, which was taken down after she became a royal in 2018.
Meghan explained how Guy had a “terrible accident” shortly before she moved to the UK and doctors said he would never walk again.
She said her and Harry would visit him in Surrey over several months as he recovered.
In her tribute, Meghan added: “I have cried too many tears to count.”
Guy quickly stole the show on moving into Kensington Palace and even “wrote” his own book about his “rags to riches” tale which hit shops in November 2018.
The book was called His Royal Dogness, The Rebarkable True Story of Meghan Markle’s Rescue Dog, and Guy is listed as one of the “authors”.
The story follows the beagle’s journey, from getting lost in the woods in Kentucky, to being rescued by the then-actress Meghan, and then setting off on his royal adventure to London.
It comes after Meghan made a bombshell return to social media last week with a video of her running along a beach barefoot and writing 2025 in the sand.
The tribute to Guy is just the third post on the account.
NEW SHOW
Meghan has also posted a trailer for With Love, Meghan in which he Suits star will share tips on cooking, gardening, crafting, flower arranging and hosting.
Guests will include celebrated chef Alice Waters, actress Mindy Kaling and close friend Abigail Spencer, one of Meghan’s former co-stars.
Prince Harry also appears briefly in the trailer for the eight-episode series.
“I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it,” the Duchess of Sussex wrote on Instagram.
She added: “Beyond grateful for the support – and fun!”

In Memory of Guy
In 2015, I adopted a beagle from a dog rescue in Canada.
He had been at a kill shelter in Kentucky and given a few days to live. I swooped him up….and fell in love.
They referred to him as ‘the little guy’ because he was so small and frail, so I named him ‘Guy’.
And he was the best guy any girl could have asked for.
If you followed me on instagram back in the day, you saw a lot of him – and on The Tig too.
He was with me at Suits, when I got engaged, (and then married), when I became a mom….he was with me for everything: the quiet, the chaos, the calm, the comfort.
He endured a terrible accident shortly before I moved to the UK which had him undergoing surgeries for several months and unable to leave the clinic.
Doctors said he would never walk again, but Dr Noel Fitzpatrick said he could do it.
H and I would drive late at night, after hours, to see Guy as he recovered in Surrey for months on end.
I will always be grateful to Noel and his team, the team at Queen West Animal Hospital in TO, our vets now, and my friends and community: Thank you for loving him so.
Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too.
I have cried too many tears to count – the type of tears that make you get in the shower with the absurd hope that the running water on your face will somehow make you not feel them, or pretend they’re not there. But they are.
And that’s okay too.
Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy. You filled my life in ways you’ll never know
As ever,
Meghan
