Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is rumored to be buying her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, a yellow Labrador as a Christmas gift this year.

Middleton will reportedly be purchasing the puppy through the breeder, Drakeshead, having already chosen to pick from a litter due at the end of this month.

“Kate and William worry that Harry gets lonely living on his own, so a pet puppy would be a great solution,” a source told MailOnline.

When the puppies are born, Harry will get to choose his own from the litter.

Another reason she wants to give him a dog is so that the royal couple’s own dog, Lupo, will have a friend. If Harry has royal engagements to attend to, his dog can stay with her and play with Lupo.

In a recent interview with the Today show to promote his marshmallow business, Boomf, Middleton’s brother, James Middleton, revealed he bought Lupo for his sister and Prince William as a wedding gift in 2011.
