Queen Camilla<\/a> has been pictured in an adorable new snapshot with her rescue puppy, Moley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After an initial image was shared on Sunday morning, the palace opted to share a second photo later in the evening, showing the Queen sweetly cuddling her canine companion while perched on some garden steps.<\/p>\n

Camilla, 77, was shown with a huge grin stretched across her face which had been partially obscured by one of Moley’s tan-hued ears. For the special photoshoot, the royal looked picture-perfect in a pink dress peppered with miniature pansies and green sprigs.<\/p>\n

She layered up with a periwinkle cardigan, and accessorised with a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet.<\/p>\n

The snapshot appeared to be taken at Camilla’s Wiltshire retreat, Ray Mill House<\/a>. The property is Camilla’s private retreat which she acquired following her split from her first husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, in 1994. She lived there between 1996 and 2003 and has kept it as a country base ever since.<\/p>\n

Metal planters dotted the top step, while myriad plants could be seen inside what appeared to be a wooden greenhouse.<\/p>\n

Camilla adopted Moley earlier in February from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. The furry addition to the royal household is believed to be part Jack Russell and was born on Boxing Day.<\/p>\n

News of Moley’s arrival first came to light when Camilla carried out a solo visit to Canterbury.<\/p>\n

While meeting a partially-sighted museum group, King Charles’s<\/a> wife bent down to stroke a golden retriever guide dog and explained how she’d just rescued a new eight-week-old puppy called Moley who looks “just like a mole.”<\/p>\n

Aside from the puppy, the Queen also owns a Jack Russell Terrier called Bluebell who, like Moley, came from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. She was also the proud owner of a dog called Beth who sadly passed away last November.<\/p>\n

It is understood Beth had an untreatable tumour and had to be put down as a result.<\/p>\n

Charles and Camilla to visit the Chelsea Flower Show<\/p>\n

The two new pictures were released ahead of Charles and Camilla’s visit to Chelsea Flower Show next week. Whilst there, they will visit the RHS and BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden, which was designed specifically for dogs by well-known horticulturist and broadcaster, Monty Don.<\/p>\n

There will also be a special tribute for Moley as her name has been engraved on a brick path running through the garden. The names of dogs belonging to Radio 2 presents and ambassadors of the RHS are also included.<\/p>\n
