Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s rescue dog has been pictured in a photoshoot.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s adorable Beagle named Mamma Mia made a surprise appearance in a series of photos posted by Meghan’s friend Abigail Spencer.
Spencer was one of the lucky 50 to receive a limited edition jar of Meghan’s new American Riviera Orchard jam.
She revealed the jams in a photoshoot which saw her laying on the grass with the gift basket of jams and Mia.

In one photo, the Beagle rolls onto her back and waits to be petted by Spencer; the other photo shows Mia nuzzling her nose against the actress’s face.
The nine-year-old dog was one of the 4000 Beagles bred at the Envigo breeding and research facility in Virginia to be sold for use in pharmaceutical and biotech research.
Mia and her puppies, who had been treated badly at the facility, were transported to Maryland before ending up at the Beagle Freedom Project HG in Los Angeles County’s San Fernando Valley in 2022.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex picked up Mia from the Freedom Project to live with the family’s other rescue Beagle, Guy, and their black Labrador Pula.
In October the same year, Harry said: “I tell you what, we all need a dog that keeps us calm. I’ve got three in this house now. So, we basically have five children.”
He continued: “I've got a black Labrador called Pula, a rescue beagle called Guy. And we got another rescue beagle called Mia.
“And between the three of them, they charge around chasing squirrels and causing all sorts of problems to us every single day. But they are also emotional, emotional support dogs 100% when they're behaving.”
The presence of Mamma Mia in Spencer’s post suggests that the pictures were taken in Meghan’s Montecito garden, or Meghan was visiting Spencer with her pet.

Spencer captioned the post: “This jam is my jam. A delicious taste of what’s to come indeed… love you so M.”
The actress, who is best known for her role in Grey’s Anatomy, is the sixth person to share a photo with the duchess’s jam.
Meghan’s friend Kelly McKee Zajifen also received one of the jam parcels and said on social media that she was “so proud” of the duchess.
It comes after Meghan posed with Zajifen and Spencer to support Kelly’s new Mother’s Day campaign for her charity Alliance of Moms.
