  • On 21 May 2018, Facebook users shared a post about the purported rags-to-riches story of Meghan Markle's rescued beagle Guy, culminating in the dog escorting Queen Elizabeth to the royal wedding reception earlier that week: The item was shared tens of thousands of times, but it included no sources to support its claims and readers asked about the veracity of the claim. Markle's beagle garnered attention after the high-profile wedding, but that wasn't the first time Guy's purported backstory had been shared. On 28 November 2017, the Ontario-based A Dog's Dream Rescue shared Guy's adoption story: The post was not the sole source for the claim that Guy rode shotgun alongside Queen Elizabeth to the royal wedding reception: Town and Country was among outlets reporting that Guy may have been at the reception, W wrote that the beagle traveled alongside the monarch, and Harper's Bazaar made similar claims. YouTube even featured a number of robotically-voiced clips making claims that Meghan Markle's dog gets a ride with the Queen to royal wedding: Every link we found sourced the claim back to a UK tabloid, which — in a brief and soundless looping clip — reported only that the Queen was sighted driving to Windsor ahead of [the] royal wedding. No reference was made to the dog in the car. Many cameras captured her arrival at the event itself, without a Range Rover or any dogs at all: Footage of the Queen traveling with an unidentified dog appeared on 18 May 2018, one day prior to the event: The story appeared to originate the same day in a post on LaineyGossip.com about Guy traveling with the Queen. While it is true Queen Elizabeth was spotted traveling with an unidentified dog prior to the wedding, she also owns two dorgis, or dachschund-corgi mixes. Queen Elizabeth arrived at the ceremony in a different vehicle and unaccompanied by a dog, and claims about her travels with on the day of the royal wedding appear to be inferences based only on brief footage captured a day before the wedding.
