Royal Family Shares Emotional Goodbye to Queen Camilla’s Cherished Companion
The Royal Family has announced the heartbreaking loss of Queen Camilla’s beloved dog, Beth, in a touching tribute shared on social media.
Beth, a Jack Russell terrier adopted by Queen Camilla from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, passed away due to an untreatable tumor. The emotional Instagram post described Beth as "The Queen’s much-loved companion," highlighting her joy-filled presence during "walkies, official duties, or curled up by the fire."
The post featured endearing photos of Beth with Queen Camilla, including cherished moments of a Highland walk, a meeting with the late Paul O’Grady, and a tender image of Beth nuzzling King Charles.
Beth’s role in public life was also celebrated, including a memorable 2020 event where she used a sausage to unveil a plaque at Battersea’s Old Windsor Centre. Alongside her fellow rescue dog, Bluebell, Beth often accompanied Camilla on royal engagements and even appeared in an official portrait with King Charles and Queen Camilla for their 15th wedding anniversary.
Royal fans flooded the post with condolences. One comment read, "So sorry for your loss, Your Majesty," reflecting the widespread admiration for Beth’s charm and companionship.
Beth’s passing marks a poignant loss for the royal household, where she was not only a beloved pet but also a symbol of Queen Camilla’s enduring love for animals.
