It comes after William reportedly stopped to pet a wellwisher's dog during a visit to Duchy College in Cornwall.
Louise Harland told Hits Radio Cornwall that the 42-year-old stroked her dog, Jacks, and revealed to her that his family dog, a cocker spaniel named Orla, often sleeps on the bed alongside him and Kate.
"[William] said that his little dog sleeps on the bed with them at night, with him and Kate," Louise claimed.
"[He was] absolutely in love with my little dog. He asked what breed he was and he's never met one of those breeds, he's a Cockerjack, so he's a little bit of a unique combination."

According to the Sleep Foundation, sleeping with a pet can provide a variety of benefits, including comfort and security as service dogs can provide emotional support to people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when they experience a nightmare.
Such dogs are trained to identify physical signs that indicate a person is having a nightmare, so they can disrupt the nightmare by waking their owner up.
Sleeping with your dog is also said to help ease symptoms of mental health conditions, help regulate emotions and reduce anxiety and loneliness.
