Princess Madeleine of Sweden introduces her new adopted three-year-old dog in adorable photographs

Princess Madeleine of Sweden welcomed a three-year-old Havanese dog into her family – and shared adorable photos online to mark the occasion.

The royal, 40, who lives in Miami with her American husband Chris O’Neill and their three children, took to Instagram this week to reveal the new addition to her household.

The princess shared three sweet photos of her new dog Oreo, explaining that before being adopted from a shelter in the family’s hometown, the pet “wasn’t treated well and was tied up outside most of the day and night, among the elements of Florida. ‘.

“But today he can make us laugh and show us what a tender and loving soul he has,” she added.

In one of the photos, Oreo was sitting next to Teddy, a dog the family had before they adopted their new pet.

Madeleine said, “Meet Oreo! He is a three-year-old Havanese, who we recently adopted from a wonderful shelter in Miami.

“Before that, Oreo was not treated well and spent most of the day and night outside, under the Florida elements.

“But today he can make us laugh and show us what a tender and loving soul he has (and, yes, Teddy and he are total buddies who can’t stop playing with each other)!”

Madeleine has lived in the US since she married financier Chris in 2013. The couple has three children, Princess Leonore of eight, Prince Nicolas of seven and Princess Adrienne of four.

While her older siblings, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Carl Philip, are royals who still live in Sweden, Madeleine leads a quiet life abroad.

However, she is still the royal patron of several Swedish charities and is committed to helping their work.

But in 2019, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden announced that his daughter Princess Madeleine’s children would lose their HRH status – with only the heir apparent, Crown Princess Victoria and her children, retaining their titles.
