If Meghan Markle’s life seems like a fairytale – an American actress who marries the sixth in line to the British throne – take a look at the life of her rescue dog.

Meghan’s dog, Guy, is a 17-pound beagle who is a rescue dog from Kentucky.

Meghan, now the Duchess of Sussex, brought Guy with her when she moved from Toronto to her new home at Kensington Palace, where she and new husband Prince Harry live.

Guy is now living the royal life.

One photo has raised speculation that he rode in a car with none other than Queen Elizabeth ahead of Harry and Meghan's wedding Saturday at St. George's Chapel in Windsor.

Queen Elizabeth, known for surrounding herself with her beloved corgis, was photographed riding with a dog alongside her in the passenger seat. The photo sparked debate on whether it could be Guy, with people on social media even debating the size of the dog’s ears to determine whether it is actually Guy.

When Harry and Meghan's engagement was announced in November, Harry shared how Queen Elizabeth's beloved corgis had immediately taken to Meghan over tea.

"The corgis took to you straight away," Harry, 33, said of Meghan, 36.

"I've spent the last 33 years being barked at; this one walks in, absolutely nothing," Harry said, adding they were "just wagging tails, and I was like, 'Argh.'"

Meghan added that the dogs were "just laying on my feet during tea. It was very sweet."

Meghan's dog, Guy, reportedly made his presence known on the couple's wedding day. One British newspaper reported the dog stole the show at the couple’s wedding reception by racing all over, eating all the leftovers.
