Queen Camilla “heartbroken” after death of her beloved rescue dog Beth — rest in peace

It’s safe to say that the two precious rescue dogs were a major source of comfort and unconditional love through it all.

“The nice thing about dogs is you can sit them down, you could have a nice long conversation, you could be cross, you could be sad and they just sit looking at you, wagging their tail,” Camilla told BBC Radio.

“They are both colourful characters and now I cannot imagine my life, my home or my sofas without them,” Camilla told Country Life magazine in 2022.

Pictures of Beth and Bluebell were even embroidered onto Queen Camilla’s coronation gown, showing how important they were to her.

Rest in Peace, Beth: Camilla “Heartbroken”

Sadly, Beth was recently diagnosed with an untreatable tumor, and Camilla made the difficult decision to put the dog down this weekend. The Queen was reportedly “heartbroken” by her dog’s passing.

The news was confirmed by an official statement from Buckingham Palace. “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 statement read.

 

Peter Laurie, chief executive of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, also released a statement sharing his condolences. “We’re very sad to hear that Beth, HM The Queen’s rescue dog, has sadly passed away,” he said. “Her Majesty, our Patron, rehomed Beth from Battersea in 2011 and we have many fond memories of Beth visiting our centres over the years.”
