Queen Camilla has recently taken a step that has moved half of Europe: adopting a dog. This determination is not just an altruistic act to promote adoption, it also responds to her grief over the recent loss of Beth. Beth was the dog that was part of Queen Camilla's life for years and, sadly, passed away recently.
No pet fills the void left by another, but Charles III's wife has chosen to give Moley a new opportunity. That is the name of the puppy that will now be part of Buckingham Palace.
Queen Camilla smiles again
Queen Camilla has smiled again thanks to a recent development coming directly from the United Kingdom. For months, joys have been scarce at Buckingham due to Charles III's health and family problems. Therefore, any good news coming from England is a reason for excitement.
Like the latest decision made by Queen Camilla to adopt a new dog after the loss of her beloved dog Beth. Moley is a mixed breed born on December 26 at the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home shelter, of which Camilla has been a patron since 2016. Her mother is a Jack Russell mix, while the father's breed is unknown.
Camilla revealed her new pet during a visit to Canterbury, explaining that the puppy looks like a mole, hence her name. Moley joins Bluebell, another dog rescued by the queen in 2012 from the same shelter. Moley's adoption reflects Camilla's ongoing commitment to animal welfare and her love for rescued dogs.
The queen has expressed her affection for Moley, describing her as "very mischievous" and mentioning that she loves to chew on shoes. This new member of the Royal Family has brought joy after the loss of Beth, who passed away in November due to an untreatable tumor. Such was the affection Camilla felt for her pet that she even wanted a golden thread to represent her in her coronation dress.
Beth's passing was a hard blow for her, but thanks to Moley's arrival, the queen has smiled again.
Queen Camilla continues with the tradition
Queen Camilla is not the only one who feels true devotion to dogs. The British monarchy has a long history of love for animals, especially dogs. Queen Elizabeth II was famous for her corgis, while King Charles III and Camilla have adopted several rescued dogs over the years.
This tradition continues to this day with Queen Camilla and her new puppy. Moley's adoption also coincided with Camilla's participation in the Chelsea Flower Show, where a garden dedicated to dogs was presented. This garden includes names of royal dogs, like Moley, Bluebell, and the late Beth, engraved on its paths.
A tribute to the pets that have been and are part of Queen Camilla's life and Buckingham. Moley mainly lives at Raymill House, Camilla's private residence in Wiltshire, although she accompanies the royal couple on their visits to official residences. Her presence brings joy and companionship, showing the vital role pets play in their owners' lives.
Queen Camilla continues to show her dedication to animal welfare through meaningful actions like this adoption. This way, she continues the tradition while proving that adoption is a good option for having a pet.
