A new portrait of the Duchess
of Cornwall has been shared by the official Clarence House Instagram
account to mark her 75th birthday.
The wife of Prince
Charles looks radiant in the photograph, captured by royal photographer
Chris Jackson. Wearing an elegant summer dress complete with a feminine V-neck
collar adorned with blue and pink flowers, Duchess Camilla was pictured in the
gardens of her Wiltshire home – and royal fans were delighted to see she
was joined by an unexpected family member.
The future Queen Consort was
photographed alongside her beloved Jack Russell Terrier, Beth, who sat on her
lap and gazed into the camera.
Camilla, who is a patron of
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, adopted both her Jack Russells Beth and
Bluebell from the charity, which has rehomed more than three million animals
since being founded in 1860.

They’ve even accompanied the
Duchess on a few royal outings over the years, so it comes as no surprise Beth
was pictured alongside Camilla on her milestone birthday.
The post on Clarence House’s
Instagram read: “Thank you for all your kind messages and well wishes on
The Duchess of Cornwall’s 75th birthday today!”
Royal fans across the world
were quick to react to the stunning portrait of the royal. “She is more
beautiful than ever,” commented one fan, as another penned: “Happy
Birthday Ma’am. Love & regards from Germany. May your new year be blessed
with health, happiness and fulfillment! By the way… that’s such a lovely
picture!”
“Happy Birthday Your
Royal Highness. May your special day be blessed with all the good vibes you
spread out into the world. Wishing you happiness and joy,” added a third
fan.
Chris Jackson took to his
personal Instagram account to share further photographs of the Duchess. He
shared: “Really special to photograph the Duchess of Cornwall at her home
in Wiltshire for her 75th Birthday. I’ve spent many years travelling
around the world photographing The Duchess on Royal Tours and engagements so
it’s lovely to photograph her somewhere she feels so relaxed.
“I love the fact she even
grew the impressive peaches in the photo,” he added.
