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.'

Royally confused! Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway suffers a brief slip-up as she almost hops into the driver's seat of an Uber in Sydney
Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway is settling into life Down Under after arriving in Australia to study at Sydney University last month. And the 21-year-old future queen appears to still be getting the hang of Aussie road rules. The fair-haired royal was spotted making a slight slip-up on Saturday when she, accompanied by a gal pal, tried to hop into a waiting Uber from the wrong side. Evidently used to left-hand drive vehicles, the princess was seen reaching for the door handle on the driver's side. The wrong move proved most amusing to her friend who then directed the princess to the other side of the vehicle. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Showing no apparent signs of embarrassment, Ingrid Alexandra then took her seat in the car on the passenger side. Accompanied by a female pal, Ingrid Alexandra dressed simply for her daytime outing in a long coat with a fur collar, baggy green jeans, a grey zip-up sweater, and a blue knit top. Wearing her long hair in a ponytail, she accessorised with a set of gold hoop earrings, a small designer handbag, and carried a mobile device. She completed her look with a pair of running shoes. Her companion, meanwhile, wore a grey overcoat, paired with blue jeans, a low-cut black top and white sneakers. It comes after Ingrid Alexandra was recently spotted doing a 'drink run' with a female friend. Ingrid Alexandra, who has just started a three-year undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney, was seen on Thursday visiting a bottle shop for a crate of booze, before returning to her accommodation with a mate. She kept her outfit casual, slipping into a pair of loose-fit white jeans and a black cardigan over a matching crew-neck shirt.

Ingrid Alexandra completed her look with a pair of sensible blue sneakers as she carted her purchases, which included a $21 bottle of Cat Amongst The Pigeons chardonnay. The chic royal, who is second in line to the throne after her father, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, arrived Down Under late last month and posed on campus for a series of photos she uploaded to Instagram. The Royal Household's full statement from Ingrid read: 'I'm looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney. 'It will be exciting to become a student, and I'm looking forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international politics. 'I'm sure that I will learn a lot.' She marked the joyous occasion with a series of images taken around what appeared to be the University of Sydney campus. One picture showed the royal standing in front of the establishment's tall brown brick building, while another showed her seated in front of the reception steps. She also held a collection of white folders and envelopes, perhaps documentation linked to her studies. Her decision to move to Australia to continue her studies comes after she embarked on military training at the Engineer Battalion in Brigade Nord last year.

How Meghan Markle's disdain for her 'tiny' home in Kensington Palace was the start of all her troubles, according to royal insider
A royal insider has claimed that Meghan's dislike for her living arrangements at Kensington Palace were the start of her troubles with royal life and set the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the path to 'Megxit'. It's Meghan's 44th birthday on Monday and following the so-called 'peace summit' last month, it appears at long last that the animosities between the Sussexes and the other royals may soon be thawing.

David Rendallo obituary: talented tenor discovered in BBC back room
David Rendall was working in the BBC gramophone library preparing recordings for shows such as Desert Island Discs and checking them for transmission quality. On one occasion he pulled out a recording of Questa o quella from Verdi's Rigoletto and started playing it. Unconvinced by the tenor's voice, he felt sure that he could do better and began singing along. Unknown to him, Roy Plomley and Ronald Cook, the show's presenter and producer, were in the control room with the microphones open. Suddenly, a buzz came through the studio speakers: 'Mr Rendall, I think it's time we had a chat.' Rendall feared he was about to be sacked, but was instead asked whether he had considered vocal training. He had not. With Cook's help and encouragement, he was accepted at the Royal Academy of Music in 1970. Two years later he received his first review when The Times noted how he 'gave much pleasure' in a student production of Donizetti's opera Belisario.
