It is understood the new puppy Moley is also from Battersea, the famous animal rescue centre in south London Camilla supports as patron, and could well be small in stature like a Jack Russell, known for their big personalities.
Camilla toured the building meeting various local groups, and when she saw Fergie, a golden retriever guide dog whose partially sighted owner Susan Mason was taking part in a “sensing culture” class, she could not help giving the canine’s belly a rub.
Buckingham Palace posted the news of the death of the Queen’s dog on social media last November alongside a montage of images of the royal pet, with the message describing the joy the animal brought to Camilla.
Beth, a Jack Russell terrier, was adopted by Camilla from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, just like her other rescue dog Bluebell.
Camilla revealed the addition to her canine family when she met a fellow dog lover in Canterbury at an event celebrating the life of the city’s famous literary heroine Aphra Behn.
