[QUOTE="POL, post: 4125822, member: 5525"] patter of tiny paws while William is in Falklands [I]THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are hearing the patter of tiny feet earlier than expected - after welcoming a new cocker spaniel puppy into their Welsh home. The news comes as Prince William leaves his new wife behind in the UK for a six-week tour of duty as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot in the Falkland Islands. The dog, whose name has not been released, is just a few months old and is the son of a dog belonging to Carole Middleton's, the mother of the duchess. The couple have had the pet since December. The Middleton's have had a family cocker spaniel named Ella for a number of years bred by Christian Hepburne Scott. Its arrival will no doubt provide a welcome distraction for Kate while her husband is away, although she too is expected to be busy with a series of solo engagements in the coming weeks. Since their wedding last April, the Duchess has carried out only one public engagement without Prince William. A spokeswoman for the royals said: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a male cocker spaniel. “It’s from a litter known to the couple through a family connection. It’s a few months old.” Prince William will fly to the Falkland Islands tonight to begin his tour of duty as tensions rise between Britain and Argentina over sovereignty. Yesterday it emerged that one of the Royal Navy's most advanced new warships is being sent to the area. HMS Dauntless, a Type 45 destroyer, is due to set sail for the South Atlantic on her maiden mission in the coming months to replace frigate HMS Montrose. Today it was confirmed that the Duke of Cambridge will begin his six-week deployment as a helicopter pilot earlier than expected. He will fly out tonight. He will be crewing one of two search-and-rescue helicopters on call 24 hours a day for missions flying out of a large British military base, 45 minutes from Stanley, the islands' capital. Argentina's foreign ministry slammed Prince William's visit, saying that the heir to the British throne would be arriving as a "conqueror." However, the Ministry of Defence stressed that the mission was routine and a Royal Navy spokesman rejected suggestions the decision to send the ultra-modern destroyer to the region represented an escalation of the UK's position. Kate, who turned 30 last month, is understood to have been debating with courtiers whether to use Prince William’s absence abroad to launch herself as a solo member of the Royal family. Since the royal wedding she has only attended one public engagement without him. That was when the Prince of Wales was forced to pull out of a charity dinner at Clarence House in October last year because he had to fly to Riyadh to pay his condolences to the Saudi royal family after the death of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. His daughter-in-law agreed to attend in his place. - James Orr Read more: [url]http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/independent-woman/celebrity-news-gossip/kate-middleton-to-hear-the-pitter-patter-of-tiny-paws-while-william-is-in-falklands-3006117.html#ixzz1l8NSWty6[/url] [/I] [/QUOTE]
