King releases royal dog biscuits
The treats are made using wholemeal flour, egg and chicken stock, and baked in the kitchens at Balmoral Castle, the King's home in the Highlands.
The castle's website says of the product, which is part of the Balmoral Pet Collection and sells for £5: 'These 100 per cent natural biscuits, hand-baked in the Balmoral Castle kitchens, have been lovingly made in small batches for your four-legged prince or princess.'
A Facebook post adds: 'Each bag contains 75g of wholesome goodness your dog will love.'
Also on sale is a Balmoral tweed dog collar for £32, a tweed dog lead for £40, a tweed dog treat bag for £30, and a coat of arms dog bowl at £28.
Meanwhile, the King has also launched a tweed coat for dogs, which is available through the Sandringham estate shop.
The 'Happy Hound' coats, made exclusively for the shop at the King's Norfolk home, also reflect Charles's penchant for tweed.
A description of the coat, which is listed online at £44.99, reads: 'Stylish, machine washable and with a water layer, the Sandringham tweed dog coat is perfect for frosty winter walks.'
The monarch, a noted dog lover, was given a Lagotto Romagnolo – a specialist truffle-hunting dog from Italy – this year.
The dog, which he has named Snuff is the first dog he has owned personally in around two decades.
The King previously had a Jack Russell called Tigga, which he adopted shortly after starting a family with Diana, Princess of Wales, and which died in 2002, aged 18.
Meanwhile, Queen Camilla recently adopted a new rescue puppy named Moley.
The dog, from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, was adopted in May after the death of Beth, one of the Queen's beloved rescue terriers.
Camilla adopted Beth in 2011, along with a second terrier, Bluebell, in 2012, from the same charity, of which she is patron.
In a statement in November when Beth died, Buckingham Palace said: '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.'

Prince Harry responds to claims he 'struck Prince Andrew and bloodied his nose'
Prince Harry had addressed claims he punched Prince Andrew in the face at a family gathering in 2013 Prince Harry has refuted allegations that he left Prince Andrew with a "bloody nose" during a heated confrontation, as claimed in a explosive new book. The Duke of Sussex stands accused of striking the Duke of York at a family event in 2013 after calling him a "coward" in author Andrew Lownie's latest work Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. Relations are said to have erupted between the Royal duo after Harry learned of "something Andrew said" behind his back, he writes, noting that the bond between the pair has remained strained for over a decade following the purported incident. In a fresh excerpt from the publication, Mr Lownie states: "At a family gathering in 2013, Harry and Andrew had got into a heated argument, and punches were thrown over something Andrew said behind Harry's back." In the book, which is being serialised by the Daily Mail, he continued: "According to a source close to both men, Harry told him he was a coward not to say it to his face. "Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up," reports the Mirror. The writer also characterised Prince Andrew's rapport with both his nephews Harry and William as "problematic", with Andrew subsequently alleged to have informed the Duke of Sussex that his union with Meghan Markle would "not last more than a month". Harry's representatives have dismissed both allegations featured in the new publication. In a statement to People magazine, a member of the Duke's staff said: "I can confirm neither of those things are true. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight. "Nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry." The book also claims that Prince William has been operating behind the scenes to back Andrew's removal from the Royal Lodge, the £31 million Windsor estate where the Duke of York resides with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. This comes after numerous reported efforts by King Charles to have his brother ejected from the 31-bedroom mansion, with the Duke of York seemingly determined to remain. Photographs from earlier this year revealed the property looking notably deteriorated, with black mould, dampness, and cracked paintwork evident around the exterior, as well as the outbuildings and the gatehouse. The Prince of Wales is reported to have "long harboured" contempt for both Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, according to the book, and would seek to remove the pair himself upon ascending to the throne should his father fail to do so.

Alan Titchmarsh issues warning to reality star over King Charles comment
Gardener and ITV star Alan Titchmarsh urged a reality star not to call King Charles by a particular title, following his recent honourable promotion to CBE Alan Titchmarsh has issued a warning about King Charles III to a television star, who is keen to receive an honourable title in the future. The-76 year-old was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2000 for services to horticulture and broadcasting. Earlier this year, he was promoted to Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to horticulture and charity. Shortly after collecting his new honour from the King, he appeared alongside Made In Chelsea's Tristan Phipps, and equestrian legend Pippa Funnell MBE on their Talk Horse podcast. Opening the show, Tristan revealed to listeners that they were broadcasting from the "beautiful" gardens of Windsor Castle, and mentioned that "his Royal Highness" was "about 200 metres away" from them. Describing those in his presence, he went on comment: "I've got MBEs, CBEs. I've got some serious accolades here." He remarked to Alan: "I'm working on mine. If you could put a good word in with the big man [ King Charles ] next door, that would be [good]." In response, Alan playfully warned Tristan about the way he had referred to the King, his friend of over 40 years. "Well you'll do better if you start calling him His Majesty rather than Your Royal Highness," he said. "His Majesty, yes, see I need extra lessons," Tristan quipped. Alan added: "He [Charles] has, as he used to say, '[Has] gone up one'." King Charles ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on 8 September 2022. Once a Royal becomes a King or Queen, they are referred to as His/Her Majesty, while other members of the Royal family are addressed as His/Her Royal Highness (HRH). Alan and Charles have shared a friendship that has lasted for more than forty years, due to their mutual passion for gardening. Over the years, Alan has commended the King for his active role in environmental conservation. During an appearance on This Morning, he stated: "He's a man with an enormous, enormous social conscience and also environmental conscience. But, he also put it into practice, he doesn't just talk about it, he does it. He's the hardest working person I know." Despite being a specialist in a field that Charles adores, Alan revealed that he doesn't offer the King any gardening advice. Instead, their conversations revolve around their shared love for nature and how it could be improved. "Anybody who knows him at all, who's worked with him, is just in awe of his boundless energy – that's without the issue that he's had," the ex Ground Force star further disclosed. "He is so energetic, he's not just a talker, he's a doer." Recounting what the monarch said to him when he received his CBE earlier this year, he added: "He very kindly said I'm climbing up the ladder, which was nice of him – from MBE to CBE."

Police drama hailed as 'the Scottish Broadchurch' rockets up Netflix charts as fans rave 'it has you second-guessing every clue'
A Scottish police drama is soaring up the Netflix charts after fans and critics alike showered it with praise, drawing comparisons to the British drama series, Broadchurch. The Loch, which originally aired on ITV in 2017, follows DS Annie Redford (Laura Fraser), an officer with the Scottish Highland Police, who investigates the murder of piano teacher Niall Swift after he is found dead at the bottom of a cliff. However, it quickly emerges that a serial killer may be at large after the police discover part of his brain is missing and a human heart belonging to another victim is found close by. With a huge case ahead, Glasgow-based major investigation detective DCI Lauren Quigley (Siobhan Finneran) is then brought in to lead the enquiry. Just last week, the six-part series landed on Netflix and viewers quickly took up the chance to binge-watch it, making it the second most-watched TV show in the UK on the streaming platform. When the series first aired, critics raved about the show, saying it was 'definitely worth a look'. A Scottish police drama is soaring up the Netflix charts after fans and critics alike highly praised the show, drawing comparisons to the British drama series, Broadchurch (Siobhan Finneran and Laura Fraser pictured) The Loch, which originally aired on ITV in 2017, follows DS Annie Redford (Laura Fraser), an officer with the Scottish Highland Police, who investigates the murder of piano teacher Niall Swift after he is found dead at the bottom of a cliff The Express wrote in their review: 'This tartan-clad Broadchurch shows a lot of promise, not least in the way it plays on people's Loch Ness fascinations.' Meanwhile, The New York Times shared: 'The peel-the-onion format here is familiar by now, but Stephen Brady's script and a group of fine performances keep it intriguing, nonetheless. A fine diversion for summer evenings.' The Washington Post added: 'You'll probably figure out the ending to Loch Ness well before the fog lifts, but my hunch is you're here mainly for the luscious scenery.' The Post NZ said: 'It does a good job of slowly building up a portrait of a troubled but brilliant man with little regard for authority but great regard for the law itself. Definitely worth a look.' Meanwhile, one viewer claimed the show 'feels fresh and has you second-guessing at every clue uncovered'. Another wrote on IMDB: 'The desire to uncover the truth is overwhelming. Suspenseful moments intertwined in a mix of both fast- and slow-moving plot points, if you are into British crime dramas, this needs to be added to your must watch list.' While other viewers raved that the police drama is 'compelling', 'gripping', and 'superb'. When asked to describe the series at The Loch's premiere, Scottish actress Laura, 50, said: 'It's all very dark and creepy but also has moments that are quite tongue-in-cheek. However, it quickly emerges that a serial killer may be at large, and Glasgow-based major investigation detective DCI Lauren Quigley (Siobhan Finneran) is then brought in to lead the enquiry (Siobhan and Don Gilet pictured) Just last week, the six-part series landed on Netflix and viewers quickly took up the chance to binge-watch it, making it the second most-watched TV show in the UK on the streaming platform She continued: 'It reminds me a wee bit of the classic movie An American Werewolf In London. It has that vibe and there's a lot of animal symbolism – wolves, crows, mutilated sheep and, of course, plenty of mentions of the Loch Ness monster.' ITV previously teased details of the show, saying: 'What secrets lie beneath the surface? In this stunningly set crime drama, some monsters are no myth. For Detective Annie Redford, the hunt is on to catch a killer. 'A murder in a small Scottish town sends the community into shock, and local detective Annie Redford is thrust into her first murder case.' The police drama also stars Don Gilet, John Sessions, Gray O'Brien, Jim McMeekin, Shona McHugh, Jack Bannon, and William Ash. The Loch is now available to stream on Netflix and ITVX.
