The British family posted the news on Sunday in the UK on their Instagram account kensingtonroyal.
« He has been the heart of our family for nine years and we will miss him so much. «
The family got the dog in 2012 to accompany the Duchess when Prince William was transferred to the Falkland Islands.
« For me, Catherine and now little George are my priorities. And Lupo, « he told CNN in 2013.
The Duchess’ brother James Middleton also posted a photo of Lupo on his Instagram page, along with a touching message.
British author Aby King wrote a number of pooch-inspired children’s books called Lupo – The Adventures of a Royal Dog.
Lupo caused a minor stir after Prince William and Catherine posted a photo of Prince George showing the dog licking an ice cream.
