On December 23, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick shared details of treating one of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's pets in an interview with The Times. Fitzpatrick, a leading orthopedic-neuro veterinary surgeon and star of The Supervet on Channel 4, operated on Meghan's beagle Guy in 2017 after the dog suffered serious injuries.

"Meghan rang me from Canada, where she was living at the time, to say Guy had escaped and was found with two broken wrists," Fitzpatrick recalled. "Would I operate? I agreed, and she brought him over."

The surgery was successful, and Fitzpatrick described a touching moment with the royal couple. "The duke and duchess sat on the floor. We had cake. Guy was fixed," he said. Guy lived until January this year, and Fitzpatrick received a heartfelt note of gratitude from Meghan, which he called "sweet."
