17 Photos of King Charles with His Dogs, from Pippin to Bluebell
There's a new breed in the Palace
The Royals have always considered dogs a firm part of the family, with senior members regularly pictured with at least one canine companion at their heels. We are of course familiar with the late Queen Elizabeth's Corgis – but what about King Charles III's affinity with dogs? His Labrador, Harvey, or his Jack Russel, Tigga? Here, we take a look at the dogs who have won King Charles' heart over the years and look to their future as they patter into Buckingham Palace.
