Queen Camilla and King Charles are mourning the loss of the Queen’s beloved dog Beth, a Jack Russell terrier, after she passed away.
Buckingham Palace announced the sad news to the public, leading many fans to share condolences for Camilla and Charles and praise the sweet canine.
On Monday, Nov. 18, the official Royal Family social media account shared photos and a video of Beth from over the years, along with the message, “A sad farewell to Beth, The Queen’s much-loved companion from @Battersea_ Dogs and Cats Home who brought such joy, whether on walkies, helping on official duties, or curled up by the fire. 🐾..”
The first photo showed Beth energetically walking with Camilla, while the second featured a cute moment between the pup and Charles. Along with another picture of Camilla and Beth, the video in the post showed Beth adorably participating in a special event.
Fans understood what the royal couple must be going through as they mourned the death of their dear pet.
One wrote, “Condolences. Always a very sad time. The price we pay for the sustaining love and companionship our animals give us.”
“Beth will always be remembered for the joy she brought to the Queen and so many others,” said another, while a third commented, “So sorry to hear about Beth. She brought so much happiness and comfort. Her memory will always be cherished.”
Camilla adopted Beth from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in 2011, adding another Jack Russell terrier from the organization named Bluebell to their family the next year.
The Queen became patron of Battersea Dogs and Cats Home years ago and she even featured in an episode of For the Love of Dogs, a docuseries that showcases the animal welfare center.
