Prince William and Kate are proud parents to a puppy

(CBS) There's a new addition to Prince William and Kate's household - a puppy.

The royal couple was recently photographed taking a stroll with a dog, and now a palace source has confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a new pet.

A new dog for Prince William and Kate?

The source told People that the black cocker spaniel, a male, is "a few months old." The pup reportedly comes from a litter "with a close family connection." E! News reports that the Middleton family have a cocker spaniel of its own.

In December, reports speculated that William, 29, planned to give Kate, who turned 30 on Jan. 9, a puppy for Christmas.

No name has been announced for the pooch, which isn't Britain's only royal dog. Prince Charles and Camilla adopted a Jack Russell Terrier named Beth from a London animal shelter back in August. Queen Elizabeth II is also a dog lover, and has owned multiple corgis over the years.
