Queen Camilla Shared the First Photo of Her New Rescue Puppy
'I've just got a new puppy who's eight weeks old,' Camilla told a member of the public during an outing in Canterbury, southeast England in February this year. She adopted Moley from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home after the death of her beloved Jack Russell terrier Beth last November. The Queen also has Bluebell, another Jack Russell. All three dogs were rescue dogs.
Queen Camilla previously described Moley's breed as 'a bit of everything,' adding that she 'looks just like a mole!' In the picture released today, the Queen's affection for her new pet is clear as the pair cuddle on the steps of a garden building. The image was taken by Shona Williams, who is the Queen's country dresser and assistant house manager at her private Wiltshire home Ray Mill. Ms Williams also captured an image of Kate Middleton photographing Camilla at Ray Mill for Country Life magazine in 2022.
Members of the royal family will attend the Chelsea Flower Show today, where the King and Queen will visit the RHS and BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden. The King is Patron of the Royal Horticultural Society after taking over the role from Queen Elizabeth, reflecting the royal family's long-standing support of the organization. This year the RHS has named a rose after the Princess of Wales, called Catherine's Rose.
'As well as supporting the incredible work of The Royal Marsden, Catherine's Rose will raise awareness of how nature and gardening can help to heal,' RHS Director General Clare Matterson said.

The Princess Of Wales Just Rewore The Perfect Blazer For The Changeable British Summer - And It's On Sale
Catherine The Princess of Wales today made a special visit to a wellbeing garden at Colchester Hospital - and while meeting patrons and patients also managed to look perfectly chic in wearing a favourite blazer that's perfect for the changing British summer. While yesterday a visit to the Essex hospital may have meant battling sweltering heat in a summer dress, the cooling weather saw Catherine choose a Blazé Milano blazer she's worn at least twice publicly, pairing it with a pin-striped shirt and brown trousers, and her favourite white Veja trainers. While the princess has worn the blazer - perfect for smartening up any outfit, but also keeping off any unexpected chill UK weather might throw at us - twice publicly, it is still available, an on sale. She has worn is in 2023 at a Royal Air Force Tattoo visit and in a portrait at home in an image released in June 2024 giving an update on her health. Catherine today visited the RHS Wellbeing Garden as 50 Catherine's Rose plants were donated to the site. The roses were named after the princess by the RHS and finds from the sales go to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. She even planted one. The Daily Mail reports that Princess Catherine - still known to many as Kate Middleton - also visited the hospitals cancer wellbeing centre, meeting patients, volunteers and staff. Speaking about her recovery from cancer, the Princess reportedly said finding a new normal was 'a rollercoaster' adding: 'You're not able to function normally at home as you once used to.' She added, say The Daily Mail: 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment, treatment's done, then it's like "I can crack on, get back to normal' but actually the phase afterwards is really, really difficult.' 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to. And actually someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment I think is really valuable. 'But it's life-changing for anyone, through first diagnosis or post treatment, both for the patient but also for the families as well. And actually it sometimes goes unrecognised, you don't necessarily, particularly when it's the first time, appreciate how much impact it is going to have. 'You have to find your new normal and that takes time... and it's a rollercoaster, it's not smooth, like you expect it to be. But the reality is you go through hard times. And to have a place like this, to have the support network, through creativity and singing or gardening whatever it might be is so valuable and it's great this community has it.'

Jenny Packham Resort 2026 Collection
'We just make sure we're ticking the boxes of what people expect from us and want from us,' Jenny Packham says of her resort 2026 collection. What do they want exactly? The designer pauses before answering. 'A wow factor,' she says. That 'wow factor' often comes in the form of a color. This season, Packham embraced vibrant sunset hues and ombré shading—she said she felt inspired by the rare blooms one might find in the jungle or on display at the Chelsea Flower Show: 'We started off with quite some exotic lilies and orchids as inspiration, which have amazing colors.' (Sometimes that interpretation is quite literal: one dress, for example, is detailed with a Slipper Orchid motif, whereas a structured black evening jacket comes embroidered with dahlias. Another gown features a black tulle cape with cascading, petal-like accents.) The 'wow' also comes in the form of embellishments. Packham loves a sequin, a crystal, a bead, and used them liberally throughout this collection: a sparkly floor length gold dress looks like an Oscar came to life; a gradient evening gown that starts with purple rhinestones at the neckline and ends with a rose pink sequin hem feels like something Ariel from The Little Mermaid would wear if she walked a red carpet with her newfound legs. Examine look 20, and you'll see it is similar to the famous lavender Jenny Packham dress Kate Middleton wore to the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner in June 2011—but in black. 'It doesn't mean that it's over the top. It just means that it's got that power punch,' Packham said. 'It's about walking in the room and everybody thinking, 'That's a great dress.'' Over the past few months, Sarah Jessica Parker wore custom Jenny Packham while promoting And Just Like That in Paris, Sarah Bareillies attended the Tonys in one of her plunging, silver sequin gowns, and Dita Von Teese recently wore a navy peplum dress during a press appearance for her West End show, Diamonds and Dust. Sometimes, it's better not to keep it plain and simple.

Queen Camilla's $2.5 Million Brooch Stole the Show at Royal Ascot
The Royal Ascot is in full swing, and you know what that means: a week of high-stakes horse racing and high-fashion royal sightings. Everyone from Zara Tindall to Prince William showed up looking sharp, and while Kate Middleton was originally expected to attend, she ended up pulling out at the last minute. Still, there was no shortage of style moments—and Queen Camilla may have had the most jaw-dropping accessory of the day. Let's talk about her brooch. It wasn't just sparkling—it was blinding. Queen Camilla stepped out wearing a heart-shaped diamond brooch that reportedly carries an estimated value of $2.5 million. Yep, million. Chris Jackson/Getty Image The brooch features an 18.8-carat heart-shaped diamond set in platinum, and while it's undeniably stunning, it's not just about the bling. According to Maxwell Stone, a diamond expert from UK jeweler Steven Stone, the piece carries serious sentimental value. 'Queen Camilla's choice to wear the diamond in a brooch setting at Royal Ascot was an incredibly sentimental one,' he explained. 'Not only does it have a sweet connection to the late monarch, but it was also one of the diamonds incorporated into her crown for King Charles' Coronation in May 2023.' He added that the stone sat in the front cross pattée of her coronation crown and was last seen at a garden party earlier this year. Chris Jackson/Getty Image As for the rest of her look? Queen Camilla wore a rich emerald green ensemble with a perfectly coordinated wide-brim hat. She finished the outfit with her go-to Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets, leaning into the monochromatic trend that both Princess Catherine and Duchess Sophie have been loving lately. Queen Camilla is serving timeless style with a side of major sparkle—and this brooch? It's giving crown jewel energy. Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox? Click here.
