Queen Camilla has been left heartbroken after the death of Beth, one of her beloved dogs. The terrier was adopted by Camilla from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, along with her other dog Bluebell.
One beautiful picture in the Instagram post showed Camilla out walking in the countryside with Beth trotting along in front of her, with her lead tied to the Queen’s coat. Another image showed Beth being cuddled alongside another dog by the late TV presenter Paul O’Grady, while in another snap Beth is seen affectionally sniffing King Charles.
Beth, along with Bluebell, was so loved by Camilla that she even featured on the Queen’s coronation gown, with goldwork motifs of the two dogs embroidered onto the historic dress which Camilla wore to be crowned. In 2020, Beth helped Camilla unveil a plaque as they opened new kennels for the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
Camilla is patron of Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and Paul O’Grady, who died last year, was a long-time ambassador for the animal welfare charity.
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home replied to the post on Instagram with: “Thank you for giving Beth the most wonderful life and for always supporting rescue. Rest in peace Beth.”
