Buckingham Palace Releases an Adorable Photo of Queen Camilla's New Rescue Puppy, Moley, Ahead of an Important Royal Event
The Queen is set to pay tribute to her beloved dog Beth, who died in 2024.
Queen Camilla announced the death of her rescue dog Beth in Nov. 2024, sharing a "sad farewell" to her beloved pet in an Instagram post. After reportedly being left "heartbroken" by the tragic loss, The Queen revealed she'd rescued a new 8-week-old puppy in Feb. 2025. Now, Queen Camilla and King Charles are preparing to attend the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and have released a photo of the new puppy ahead of the important event.
The Daily Mail's royal editor, Rebecca English, shared a sweet snap of the puppy on X, along with the caption, "Meet Moley! The King and Queen will visit the @The_RHS Chelsea Flower Show on Monday to view exhibits including the BBC Radio 2/Monty Don Dog Garden. To mark the occasion @RoyalFamily have released the first picture of Queen Camilla's new...pup!"

Moley was rescued by Queen Camilla from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, and has since been joined by King Charles's new pet—a Lagotto Romagnolo dog named Snuff.
Charles and Camilla are likely to enjoy visiting BBC Radio 2's Dog Garden, which has been designed by celebrity gardener Monty Don. As reported by the Express, "The names of Camilla's adopted Jack Russell terrier Bluebell and her new puppy Moley will also be featured on the path, along with the name of her beloved rescue dog Beth, who died last year. The name of Charles's dog, Snuff, is also included on the path."
