Pictures of Beth and Bluebell were even embroidered onto Queen Camilla’s coronation gown, showing how important they were to her.
Rest in Peace, Beth: Camilla “Heartbroken”
Sadly, Beth was recently diagnosed with an untreatable tumor, and Camilla made the difficult decision to put the dog down this weekend. The Queen was reportedly “heartbroken” by her dog’s passing.
The news was confirmed by an official statement from Buckingham Palace. “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,” the statement read.

Peter Laurie, chief executive of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, also released a statement sharing his condolences. “We’re very sad to hear that Beth, HM The Queen’s rescue dog, has sadly passed away,” he said. “Her Majesty, our Patron, rehomed Beth from Battersea in 2011 and we have many fond memories of Beth visiting our centres over the years.”
“Our thoughts are with Their Majesties at this time, we know how difficult it is to lose a beloved pet and Beth was very special indeed.”
Rest in peace to sweet rescue dog Beth, who was a beloved loyal companion to Queen Camilla all these years ? Our thoughts go out to the royal family after this sad loss.
