Meet the new royal doggy.
Queen Camilla, 77, posed with her new rescue dog Moley in a photo shared on May 18 by the British royal family. “Meet mischievous Moley,” read the caption of the picture shared on the royal family’s official Instagram account, which described Moley as the queen’s “new much-loved canine companion.”
Camilla adopted Moley from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, the nonprofit of which she is a patron. The organization is dedicated to “rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals,” according to its website.
Camilla previously confirmed in February that she “just got a new” rescue dog named Moley, who was eight weeks old at the time, in a video shared on X by Daily Mail editor Rebecca English.
“Looks just like a mole,” she quipped.
In November, Camilla confirmed the death of her dog Beth, whom she adopted from Battersea in 2011. An Instagram post, which shared photos of Beth with Camilla and King Charles III through the years, said the dog “brought such joy, whether on walkies, helping on official duties, or curled up by the fire.” In a comment on Instagram at the time, Battersea thanked Camilla for “giving Beth the most wonderful life and for always supporting rescue.”
Camilla also has a rescue dog named Bluebell. In 2023, she honored her dogs Bluebell and Beth by wearing a coronation dress that had two Jack Russell terriers embroidered on it, according to People magazine. King Charles, meanwhile, also has a dog named Snuff.
On Monday, Camilla was scheduled to visit a garden in London that is “designed with dogs in mind,” according to the royal family. The garden will have the names of Bluebell, Moley and Beth, as well as Charles’ dog Snuff, inscribed on a path.
Charles’ late mother and predecessor, Queen Elizabeth II, was famously a lover of dogs and according to the American Kennel Club owned more than 30 Pembroke Welsh Corgis during her lifetime. After her death, The Kennel Club, a nonprofit based in London, remembered Elizabeth as “one of the most dog loving monarchs in history.”
