Queen Camilla announced the death of her rescue dog Beth in Nov. 2024, sharing a "sad farewell" to her beloved pet in an Instagram post. After reportedly being left "heartbroken" by the tragic loss, The Queen revealed she'd rescued a new 8-week-old puppy in Feb. 2025. Now, Queen Camilla and King Charles are preparing to attend the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and have released a photo of the new puppy ahead of the important event.
The Daily Mail's royal editor, Rebecca English, shared a sweet snap of the puppy on X, along with the caption, "Meet Moley! The King and Queen will visit the @The_RHS Chelsea Flower Show on Monday to view exhibits including the BBC Radio 2/Monty Don Dog Garden. To mark the occasion @RoyalFamily have released the first picture of Queen Camilla's new...pup!"
Moley was rescued by Queen Camilla from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, and has since been joined by King Charles's new pet—a Lagotto Romagnolo dog named Snuff.
Charles and Camilla are likely to enjoy visiting BBC Radio 2's Dog Garden, which has been designed by celebrity gardener Monty Don. As reported by the Express, "The names of Camilla's adopted Jack Russell terrier Bluebell and her new puppy Moley will also be featured on the path, along with the name of her beloved rescue dog Beth, who died last year. The name of Charles's dog, Snuff, is also included on the path."
In Nov. 2024, the official Royal Family Instagram account shared a photo of Queen Camilla and her late pet, with the caption, "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." In a heartfelt comment on the post, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home wrote, "Thank you for giving Beth the most wonderful life and for always supporting rescue. Rest in peace Beth." Thanks to the Chelsea Flower Show's latest exhibit, Beth will receive a beautiful tribute.

Brighton's player of the season: Danny Welbeck – the club's record Premier League scorer
The selection of Jan Paul van Hecke as Brighton & Hove Albion's player of the season in the official vote maintained a pattern during the club's Premier League era of defenders or midfielders landing the prize. The Dutch centre-back has added his name to a list that includes Pascal Gross (2023-24), Moises Caicedo (2022-23), Marc Cucurella (2021-22) and Ben White (2020-21). There is no suggestion that Van Hecke will extend another theme this summer — winners of the award immediately leaving the club. Gross (Borussia Dortmund), Caicedo (Chelsea), Cucurella (Chelsea) and White (Arsenal) all moved on. Jan Paul van Hecke. What a guy. 💙🤍 — Brighton & Hove Albion (@OfficialBHAFC) May 8, 2025 Danny Welbeck is also expected to stay put. There is a good case that Welbeck, in the autumn of his career, deserved to be the winner from a shortlist that also included young player of the season Carlos Baleba. Welbeck was never prolific for Manchester United, Arsenal or England, but his value to those teams went beyond his goal tally. At age 34, he is better than he has ever been. Advertisement A 4-2 defeat at Brentford in April overshadowed two telling landmarks reached by Welbeck when he equalised with a header just before half-time. His ninth goal in the Premier League and 13th Premier League goal involvement (also four assists) equalled his best tallies in those categories in 17 seasons performing in the top tier. (He scored nine goals twice for United, his boyhood club, in 2011-12 and 2013-14.) Welbeck went on to reach 10 goals for the first time with a penalty in the 2-0 win at Wolves in May. It was also a season in which he became Brighton's record Premier League scorer, overtaking Gross with his 31st goal for the club in the top flight in a 2-1 defeat at rivals Crystal Palace in April. His 33 goals overall comprise 15 with his right foot, seven with his left and 11 headers, which highlights his all-round capabilities. He has scored inside the box, outside the box and, for the first time in his senior career, directly from a free kick (in a 2-2 home draw against Nottingham Forest in September). But Welbeck's game is about much more than the only currency that tends to provoke judgement of a striker. The way he led the line and linked the play was reassuring for head coach Fabian Hurzeler in a first season beset by the irregular availability of so much of the squad. Absences through injury have been an irritating constant throughout Welbeck's career. He missed the last match of the season at Tottenham on Sunday, but he still made 24 league starts. That was more than Joao Pedro (23) and Georginio Rutter (19). Hurzeler relied heavily on Welbeck after Rutter sustained ankle damage in the FA Cup quarter-final exit at home to Nottingham Forest, even more so for four of the last five games following a red card suspension for Joao Pedro in the Brentford match, and then the Brazilian's omission from the squad for the final two fixtures on disciplinary grounds after an altercation in training with Van Hecke. 'If you work hard and always try to give your best for the club, on the pitch and off the pitch, then you deserve it,' said Hurzeler, speaking after Welbeck went past Gross' goals tally against Palace. That sums up Welbeck. As well as his talents and enduring appetite on the field, he is a hugely respected figure in the dressing room. He is not loud but, when he speaks, team-mates listen. 'He's the best example,' Van Hecke told The Athletic after a 2-1 home win against Fulham in March. 'Why we are doing well is because of people like him, if you see him on the pitch. Advertisement 'Even when he's not playing, he gives everyone confidence and he's a real leader in his voice and also how he acts. He's an example for me and other guys. If you see each other on the pitch and have a feeling, 'We're going to win' it helps us a lot.' Van Hecke, who turns 25 in June, is a popular figure too, having picked up the players' players of the season award as well as the main prize. Together with 21-year-old Cameroon prospect Baleba in central midfield, Welbeck completed a spine that Hurzeler was consistently able to rely upon. Welbeck has another season left on his Brighton contract, while the club also has an option to retain his services for a further year. His influence is set to continue under Hurzeler. 'I know the value Danny Welbeck has for us and the value is crucial,' said Hurzeler before a 2-2 draw at Manchester City in March. 'It's not only the value he adds on the pitch by making assists, by scoring, by helping the team, by his work ethic, it's also the behaviour beside the pitch, how helpful he is to build this connection in a team, to build the social bond between the individual players. He's crucial for me and the whole club.'

King's royal seal of approval for Weymouth florist
A FLORIST won a royal seal of approval for her spectacular display at Chelsea Flower Show. Denise Jones, from Wyke Regis, won gold in the floristry category, with a nautical showstopper representing the mental health benefits of cold-water swimming. And to make her day, King Charles, who regularly attends the show in Chelsea, was drawn to her substantial flower piece and stopped to discuss the design with her. She said: 'He walked past my exhibit and came over to me and I wasn't on the protocol - it was completely off the cuff. 'He was really interested in the organic shape of the willow structures. It was a really warm conversation and totally unexpected.' Denise, who has been a florist for 25 years, committed to making it her full time job after the pandemic in 2020, but found working in a studio by herself isolating. As a result, she joined The Black Pigs swimming group and found the support, combined with the new hobby, greatly helped the mental health challenges she had been facing. (Image: Denise Jones) She said: 'They are amazing. In the first instance, I joined to sea swim as it's a good mood booster. 'As a group, it's not just about swimming – they check in with me and cheer me on. Even when I couldn't swim, they'd ask how I was doing. They were just amazing.' To represent the groups sense of unity, Denise created Ebb and Bloom: Textures of Emotion, a 3X3m structure in the shape of three waves. It was one of the most ambitious in the competition and represented the tumultuous nature of mental health, with currents that can take people under. The flowers weaved into the structure signified light at the end of the tunnel and were specially selected as plants that represent hope and healing. (Image: Denise Jones) Denise, 58, who had never previously worked with willow, chose the material as it grows close to the sea. She undertook workshops to learn how to work with the new material and the waves took two and a half months to produce. It was then compiled with the floral arrangements and presented on May 24. 'It needed to be impactful and not just a few flower arrangements,' Denise said, 'I created three huge willow waves, designed the frame and weaved green and white willow for the crest. 'The theme [was] that mental health can be overwhelming, so that was the thought process behind it.' (Image: Denise Jones) The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is hosted annually by the Royal Horticultural Society and shows off the work of world-renowned plant specialists, florists and garden designers. Denise qualified for the competition when she competed at the Maulvern Autumn RHS show in September, where she placed 1st against 16 areas in the UK. Speaking of her incredible achievement, she said: 'It is the Wimbledon of the flower world. I'm speechless. It's surreal because it was such a big space and I had a vision, and I can honestly say I was so happy I finished.' 'I didn't even think I'd get a medal [so] to get a gold first time competing, it was surreal.' (Image: Denise Jones) Denise also runs her own workshops in her shop, The Floral Peacock Studio, to boost creativity and wellbeing in the community, as the swimming group did for her. The Black Pigs Swimming Group, named after a boat on Smallmouth Beach, are an open water swimming group based in Weymouth. Many of its members have accredited the group to helping them through turbulent times and mental health issues. Denise said: 'I started sea swimming because I thought it would give me purpose and boost my own mood which it did and that has become a big integral part of my life. 'Two came to see me at Chelsea and they were a big part of that journey. It's an amazing group of people. We're like minded and local and everybody is looking out for everybody else.'
