O.M.G! Camilla Sad & Shocked By King Charles Unexpectedly Announces New Addition To Family
In heart-wrenching news, Buckingham Palace has shared that Queen Camilla and King Charles are mourning the loss of their beloved dog, Beth, who passed away on November 18th. A touching tribute was posted on the royal family’s official Instagram account, showcasing photos of Camilla with her cherished Jack Russell Terrier, adopted in 2011.
The post, captioned “A sad farewell to Beth, the Queen’s much-loved companion who brought such joy,” highlighted the dog’s role in the royal couple’s lives, whether accompanying them on walks, assisting with official duties, or simply curling up by the fire. The images also featured Beth alongside Bluebell, another Jack Russell Terrier adopted by Camilla from the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in 2012.
The post did not specify the cause of Beth’s death, though sources later confirmed that she had an untreatable tumor and had to be put down. The loss of a dog, especially one who was such a close companion, is a devastating experience, and for many, the grief can be as deep as losing any other family member. For Camilla, who has long been an advocate for animal welfare, this loss is especially significant.
While Camilla is said to be deeply saddened, a source close to the Queen noted that she is also planning to welcome a new dog into their home, as she and King Charles look to bring a new companion into their lives following the passing of Beth. This move comes as the royal couple, in particular Camilla, have shared their fondness for dogs, often incorporating them into royal duties and public appearances. Camilla has often spoken about the comfort and companionship that dogs provide, emphasizing the joy and solace they offer, even in difficult times.
In a related note, Prince William and Princess Catherine have also recently welcomed a new dog into their family following the loss of their beloved black cocker spaniel, Lup, who passed away in November. The couple has yet to share images of their new puppy, a gift from Catherine’s brother James Middleton, but a friend of the family described the new addition as a source of joy for the entire family, helping them cope with the loss of Lup, who had been a part of their lives for nearly nine years.
Camilla’s grief comes at a challenging time, as she has been battling lingering post-viral symptoms after suffering a chest infection earlier this month. This illness led her to cancel her planned appearances at key events in London, including Remembrance Day services. While Buckingham Palace reassures that there is no cause for alarm regarding her health, Camilla’s sadness over Beth’s death, combined with her ongoing recovery, has led to her stepping back from some public engagements.
Despite these challenges, the royal family continues to navigate their personal losses with grace and quiet dignity, finding comfort in the bonds they share with their pets, who are much more than just animals—they are considered part of the family.
