Harry and Meghan's new pooch has a very Australian name

Three months after their lavish wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have added a new addition to their family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have adopted a black Labrador named "Oz", royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith confirmed to The Sun. 

With the royals scheduled to be in Australia next month to open the Sydney Invictus Games, could their new dog's name be a nod to our sunburned country?

We'll just have to ask them when they're here. 

According to The Daily Mail, "the dog is already happily ensconced at their cottage" at Kensington Palace.

"I hear that Harry and Meghan have acquired a Labrador," The Mail reports.

"Like the Sussexes, the dog will divide its time between the palace and their country home in the Cotswolds."

It’s not known if their new pooch is another rescue dog, but Harry’s stepmother, the Duchess of Cornwall, could certainly have helped them acquire one as she is Royal Patron of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

While a Kensington Palace spokesman declined to comment on the new addition to the Royal Household, Meghan is renowned for her love of animals, in particular, dogs.

The 37-year-old royal is proud mum to Labrador-Shepherd Bogart and beagle Guy.

However, Bogart was deemed too old to make the journey to the UK from Canada when Meghan moved late last year.

He’s reportedly now being looked after by friends.

However, rescue dog Guy — who has his own Union flag coat and eats only organic food — is said to have settled in well and can be seen being taken for walks in the palace grounds when its owners are in London.

Meghan has previously described her dogs as "my loves" and rescued Guy and Bogart from a dog rescue centre in Los Angeles while she was with her first husband, film producer Trevor Engelson.

This is exciting news for the newlywed royal couple as fans of the British monarchy wait with baited breath for the news Meghan is expecting their first child.

Fingers crossed, everyone!
