A post accompanying the treasured photo reads: "A sad farewell to Beth, The Queen’s much-loved companion from @Battersea and Cats Home who brought such joy, whether on walkies, helping on official duties, or curled up by the fire."

In a series of other photo memories, Beth can be seen being cuddled alongside another dog cradled by the late TV presenter , with another snap showing her posing alongside Camilla's other Jack Russell, Bluebell.

In another photo, Beth kisses King Charles' nose, while the last memory shared shows how Beth once helped the Queen unveil a plaque on a previous royal visit. In the comments, royal fans flooded the comments to offer their condolences to Camilla.
