Queen Camilla revealed that she and King Charles III adopted a rescue puppy after the death of their dog last November.

Camilla, 77, shared the news while meeting a partially-sighted museum group at Beaney House of Art & Knowledge in Canterbury, Kent, England, on Tuesday, February 25.

“I’ve just got a new puppy, who is 8 weeks old,” Camilla said while stroking an assistance dog in a video shared to X by the Daily Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English.

When asked what breed the puppy is, the queen responded that she’s “a bit of everything.”

“It’s a rescue dog. It’s called Moley — it looks just like a mole,” she said.

The puppy was adopted from Battersea, an animal rescue center in the U.K. of which Camilla is a patron.

“We’re pleased to confirm that Battersea has recently rehomed an 8-week-old Jack Russell terrier cross female puppy, called Moley, to our Patron, Her Majesty The Queen,” a spokesperson for Battersea told the Daily Mail.

“The Queen has long been a supporter of Battersea’s work and has previously rehomed two rescue dogs from our charity,” the spokesperson added.

It comes after Camilla and Charles’ rescue dog, a Jack Russell terrier named Beth, died in November 2024.

“A sad farewell to Beth, The Queen’s much-loved companion from @Battersea Dogs and Cats Home who brought such joy, whether on walkies, helping on official duties, or curled up by the fire,” a statement on the royal family’s Instagram account shared on November 18.

The statement was accompanied by a series of photos, including a snap of Camilla walking Beth and another of Charles leaning down as the dog affectionately sniffed his face.

“Thank you for giving Beth the most wonderful life and for always supporting rescue,” the official Battersea account responded in the comments section. “Rest in peace Beth.”

The couple rescued Beth in 2011 and got another Jack Russell terrier named Bluebell the following year, the Daily Mail reported.

But after Beth’s death in November, King Charles dropped a hint that they would be looking for a new pup.

After meeting the king at the Royal Variety Show in London in December, British TV presenter Amanda Holden told the Daily Mail: “We talked a lot about Battersea Dogs Home and how he and Camilla would probably get another dog this year.”

Camilla has been patron of Battersea since 2016 and is involved with several other animal charities, including the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, according to the royal family’s website.
