King Charles<\/a> has welcomed a new dog for the first time in more than 20 years. <\/p>\n

The monarch is reportedly ‘besotted’ with the young dog, nicknamed Snuff, a lagotta romagnolo breed from Italy.<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla adopted two adorable pooches in 2017 from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home<\/a>, making them the first rescue dogs<\/a> to take up residence at Buckingham Palace<\/a> – but Snuff is the first new dog since Charles became King.<\/p>\n

The King and Queen now have multiple dogs, as Queen Camilla recently said she adopted another rescue dog named Moley. <\/p>\n

Charles’ most famous dog, Tigga, passed away in 2002 at the ripe old age of 18, and was buried in the grounds of his home, Highgrove House.<\/p>\n

Snuff, the newest pup, was a ‘private gift’. A palace insider told The Sun: ‘Charles is besotted with his puppy. He hasn\u2019t had one since Tigga. The breed is a truffle-hunter. Charles enjoys mushroom foraging<\/a>, so they have a lot in common.’<\/p>\n

In November, Queen Camilla<\/a> was heartbroken after her \u2018much-loved companion\u2019, Beth the rescue dog, died.<\/p>\n

The Jack Russell terrier was adopted by the queen from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home <\/a>in London<\/a> in 2011.<\/p>\n

Before becoming royalty, Beth was handed into the animal rescue service aged just three months by a family unable to care for her.<\/p>\n

Beth had long been at Camilla\u2019s side \u2013 literally. When she was crowned, Beth and her other dog Bluebell were featured on her coronation gown.<\/p>\n

But the pet was put down as she had an untreatable tumour.<\/p>\n

\u2018A sad farewell to Beth, the Queen\u2019s 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,\u2019 Buckingham Palace said on X.<\/p>\n

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home added: \u2018We\u2019re sad to hear that Beth, HM The Queen\u2019s rescue dog, has passed away.<\/p>\n

\u2018Her Majesty, our Patron, rehomed Beth from Battersea in 2011 and we have many fond memories of Beth visiting our centres over the years.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our thoughts are with Their Majesties at this time.\u2019<\/p>\n
