Queen Camilla honored two special furry friends on her coronation dress. The Queen Consort, 75, included her rescue dogs, Bluebell and Beth, with two embroidered gold Jack Russell Terriers near the trim of her gown. As PEOPLE reports.
She adopted Beth in 2011 and Bluebell a year later from South London’s famous Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, which she has visited regularly.
For the crowning ceremony on Saturday, Camilla arrived at Westminster Abbey wearing Queen Elizabeth’s Robe of State. The velvet vestment was commissioned for King Charles’ mother to wear at her own coronation in 1953.
