Queen Camilla's dog, Beth has died

Beth, a Jack Russell Terrier, was adopted by Queen Camilla in August 2011 from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.  The Queen is the patron of Battersea.   The puppy was three months old at the time of her adoption.  A year later, Camilla adopted Bluebell, another Jack Russell Terrier.

The much-beloved dog was diagnosed with an untreatable tumor.  She was put to sleep this past weekend.    She is survived by her parents, the King and Queen, and her 12-year-old sister, Bluebell.

She was 13 years old.

Queen Camilla described her beloved pups in Top Dogs: A British Love Affair: "They are both colourful characters — and now I cannot imagine my life, my home or my sofas without them,’ she wrote in her foreword to the book Top Dogs: A British Love Affair."

In 2023, Beth and Bluebell Christmas ornaments were available at several sites.  I bought mine in September 2023 at the Westminster Abbey Shop, and it is now sold out.
