Duchess Catherine, Prince William and Lupo
Britain's Duchess Catherine really missed her dog during her Australasia tour.
The duchess, her husband Prince William and their nine-month-old son Prince George have arrived back in London after three weeks in Australia and New Zealand, and the 32-year-old royal - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - was particularly excited about seeing her beloved pet Lupo again.
After being presented with a toy for the black cocker spaniel - who Catherine and William adopted two years ago - by a young girl outside the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, Australia last Thursday (24.04.14), Catherine said: "Oh, thank you so much. Everyone is giving me presents for George but this is the first present I've received for Lupo. Nobody knows how much I'm missing my own dog... I really miss him. He'll be so happy to have it to play with."
The family - who flew home on Friday (25.04.14) - enjoyed their visit to New Zealand and Australia and are already looking forward to returning.
Speaking on Thursday, William said: "Reluctantly, Catherine, George and I leave Australia tomorrow.
"Thank you for the warmth and generosity that has been shown to us during our visit. We go away with wonderful memories, and George goes away with his cuddly wombat, which he has taken to chewing so lovingly. We greatly look forward to coming back. And when we do return, it will be to marvel again at all that Australia is, and will yet become."
