Ellen DeGeneres says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle adopted her chicken
Ellen DeGeneres'chicken is now getting the royal treatment Prince Harry And Meghan Markleis home.
Alongside a photo of her chicken coop, DeGeneres, 65, shared that one of her chickens had to be moved after suffering an injury — and friends Harry, 39, and Markle, 42, stepped in to give her feathered friend a new home.
“Sinkie's leg was repaired, but our chickens were still picking at her so she had to be rehomed,” DeGeneres wrote via Instagram on Saturday January 13. “Luckily our friends Harry and Meghan's chicken coop still had room for one. I'm not sure yet what her royal title will be.”
Harry and Markle have been friends with DeGeneres for years and even recently visited the comedian and his wife Portia de Rossi's surprising vow will be renewed in February 2023. The foursome has been spending time together in Montecito, California, which they all now call home.
Since moving to California in 2020 and stepping down from their roles as senior royals, Harry and Markle have developed a passion for rescuing chickens and placing them in their coop, called “Archie's Chick Inn.” (The name is in honor of their eldest son Archie, 4. The couple also shares daughter Lilibet, 2.)
Harry and Markle previously opened up about expanding their flock during a CBS tell-all interview in March 2021. “She's always wanted chickens,” Harry said of his wife while giving a tour of their coop.
While the couple certainly has their hands full with their coop, Markle shared in October 2022 that she and Harry also have three other furry friends.
“I have three [dogs] We live in this house now, so we actually have five children,” she said during a conference call with the WellChild Awards recipients. “I have a black Labrador called Pula, a rescue beagle called Guy and we have another rescue beagle called Mia. The three of them trudge around every day chasing the squirrels, but they are also emotional support dogs when they behave.”
Giving up your pet may not be an easy choice, but several celebrities, including Raquel Leviss and Andy Cohen, stood by their decision. The Vanderpump Rules alum and her dog Graham Cracker were introduced to viewers during Leviss' relationship with James Kennedy. Following Leviss and Kennedy's split in 2021, Leviss initially remained part of Graham Cracker […]
The To take alum adopted her first dog, Bogart, in 2012 with the encouragement of none other than DeGeneres herself. (In 2017, We weekly confirmed that Bogart could not join Markle in Britain when she moved to pursue a relationship with Harry.)
“[Bogart] is a small rescue dog from SPOT in LA and is 9 months old. He's cute,” she previously told BuzzFeed in July 2013. “Ellen DeGeneres was there when I looked at the time and told me to take him home. So I did.”
