The Cambridges… "Its a boy ... the new royal pooch!"

Nope...they have no son, but the next thing close to one...a new puppy!





The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are the proud parents of a months-old pooch, and rumors they adopted a chocolate Labrador retriever are false, the palace confirmed to TODAY.com: It's a cocker spaniel.

Nah, this isn't their actual pooch. But Will and Kate's dog looks a lot like this English cocker spaniel puppy
.
Though they won't release the name (or discuss why the couple chose a cocker, though the U.K.'s Express reports the breed is a Middleton family favorite), the royals' spokeswoman said the male pup came from a litter through a "family connection."

Royal House of Romania: Romanians have lost their faith

Pro-monarchy messages were on display during the tenth day of protests in Bucharest, when several hundred Romanians gathered downtown in the Romanian capital, marking entry into the second week of street protests. The Royal House of Romania used the momentum to issue its first statement since the start of protests in the country.
“Romanians have lost their faith. […] The entire Royal House have their hearts close to those who need encouragement and solidarity during these moments. […] The King and the Successor Princess follow the events with deep concern and are determined to do everything in their power to protect and promote Romania’s interests, without favoring any political party,” reads a statement from the Royal House of Romania.
King Michael of Romania, 90 years old, last year decided that the Royal House in Romania will no longer be called The House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, but the Royal House of Romania. The members of the Royal Family will also give up all their titles given by the heads of the Hohenzollern royal family.
