On Jan. 7, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex shared her third Instagram post since her return to the social media platform.
The emotional post featured a video collage of photos over the last 10 years. “In memory of Guy,” Markle began her statement in the caption.
Guy is Markle’s beloved beagle who she rescued in 2015 while she was filming her hit show, “Suits.
“In 2015, I adopted a beagle from a dog rescue in Canada,” Markle continued. “He had been at a kill shelter in Kentucky and given a few days to live. I swooped him up….and fell in love.”
Markle explained that she gave him the name “Guy” because the people at the shelter “referred to him as ‘the little guy’ because he was so small and frail. 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,” she wrote referring to her former lifestyle blog.
“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.”
Markle shared that “shortly before” she moved to the UK, Guy “endured a terrible accident, 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. (Prince Harry) and I would drive late at night, after hours, to see Guy as he recovered in Surrey for months on end.”
Markle continued, saying that she wanted to share the news of Guy’s passing “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,” she wrote.
“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,” she signed off.
