Queen Camilla has been pictured in a charming new portrait with her rescue dog, Moley.
The photo, released on Monday, showed Her Majesty sweetly posing with Moley within the grounds of Camilla's ultra-private Wiltshire home, Ray Mill House.
For the special photoshoot, Camilla wore a colourful animal print dress emblazoned with green leaves and tropical birds.
Camilla, 77, adopted Moley in February this year from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. The latest addition to the royal household is believed to be part Jack Russell and was born on Boxing Day.
The photo was also shared to the royal family's official Instagram account, alongside a caption which in part read: "It was a fantastic afternoon at @Battersea - we are so grateful for all that you do! Whilst Moley was keeping cool at home, he wishes he could have been reunited with some of his old friends!"
HELLO! called upon Edie Hughes, Manager of Grove Gallery in Fitzrovia, for an expert opinion on the new portrait, which he branded a "masterclass in understated elegance and emotional warmth".
"Set against the serenity of a garden backdrop, the image captures a side of Her Majesty that is both personal and deeply relatable. Cradling her rescue dog with a radiant smile, the portrait humanises the monarchy while reinforcing Queen Camilla’s long-standing commitment to animal welfare," Edie explaines.
"The rich textures and natural palette echo the visual language of classic British portraiture, creating a timeless composition that celebrates both duty and domesticity. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t always need grandeur to move us. Sometimes it’s the quiet dignity of a moment that lingers longest."
King Charles's wife first spoke of Moley during a solo visit to Canterbury. As she crouched down to stroke a guide dog, she explained how she'd just rescued a new eight-week-old puppy called Moley, who looks "just like a mole."
Aside from Moley, the Queen also owns a Jack Russell Terrier called Bluebell who also came from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
She was also the proud owner of a dog called Beth who sadly passed away last November. It is understood that Beth had an untreatable tumour and subsequently had to be put down.
In May, Camilla posed for the sweetest picture with Moley inside what appeared to be Camilla's private Wiltshire bolthole, Ray Mill House.
The joyful image showed the royal grinning from ear to ear as she cuddled her canine companion whilst sitting on some garden steps.
Exuding elegance, Camilla wore a pink dress peppered with miniature pansies and green sprigs. She slipped on a periwinkle-hued cardigan, and accessorised with a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet.
Camilla's visit to Battersea Cats & Dogs Home
In her role as patron of Battersea Cats & Dogs Home, Camilla paid a visit to the London centre on Monday to unveil the RHS and BBC Radio 2 'Dog Garden', designed by Monty Don.
During her visit, she spoke to charity ambassadors Amanda Holden and David Gandy, and also toured the garden alongside Dawn Richards, Lead Horticulturist at the RHS, and Peter Laurie, Battersea Chief Executive.
Towards the end of her visit, Camilla also unveiled a special blue plaque.
