Following the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II last month, her two surviving corgis, Muick and Sandy, have to go to the Royal Lodge in Windsor to be looked after by the Duke and Duchess of York. Therefore, the two Jack Russells owned by King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla, Bluebell and Beth, are set to take centre stage.
The canine duo were rescued from the famous Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in February 2017, where Camilla is a patron.
Before being rescued by the charity, Beth was tied to a post while Bluebell was found wandering around in the woods with no fur.
During a previous interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Camilla said that Beth had been “dumped” while Bluebell was “virtually dead”.
She said: “Along I went to Battersea, and Beth appeared, and she had just been moved from pillar to post and dumped.
“We thought it would be nice for her to have a friend.
“They found [Bluebell] two or three weeks later, wandering about in woods, no hair on her, covered in sores, virtually dead.
“And they nursed her back to life and her hair grew again.
“She’s very sweet, but a tiny bit neurotic, shall we say.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, he owned two members of the breed, Pooh followed by Tigga.
Pooh became a media sensation in the Aberdeenshire press after disappearing while walking with her master on the Balmoral Estate and was never seen again.
It is considered most likely that Pooh disappeared down a hole in the forest around the River Dee.
Tigga, on the other hand, lived to the age of 18 and became a beloved companion and family pet until her death in 2002.
She is buried at the King’s Highgrove home in Gloucestershire and has been immortalised by sculptor Emma Stothard in the form of a wooden portrait.
