For a dog even the Duchess of Sussex falls on her knees. Only a few days ago, Meghan Markle officially took over the patronage for the animal welfare organization Mayhew. Now the 37-year-old has visited helpers and dogs for the first time.
During her visit, the Duchess spoke with the supporters of the association, which offers, among other things animal therapies and works with homeless people. Cuddles with the four-legged participants were not missing out: Several photos show how Meghan hugs dogs, takes them in their arms or bends down to them and smiles happily.
The words of an elderly woman also caused laughter. "You are a lovely lady, may God protect you forever, and you are a fat lady," she said, looking at Meghan's baby bump.

The Duchess took the spell and laughed. The 37-year-old is six months pregnant.

In addition to Mayhew's patronage, the Duchess has also taken on two projects by Queen Elizabeth II: the National Theater and the Commonwealth University Association. She also supports the "Smart Works" facility, which promotes women in the labor market.
Meghan also shares her love for dogs with the Queen. Before moving to London, the 37-year-old lived in her old home town of Toronto with two four-legged friends, Bogart and Guy. But only Dog Guy could accompany Meghan to the UK. Bogart housed the Duchess with friends. The long journey to Europe would have been too strenuous for him because of his age, it was said.
100 days after her wedding Meghan and her husband Prince Harry got a new dog. His name is unknown. Meghan merely said that it was a female.
