The Duchess of Cornwall has been inundated with Christmas
messages and well wishes from royal watchers, and she made sure to thank
everyone who had personally sent her a card.
For this year’s thank you note, Camilla chose
a hilarious photo taken in December 2020, which showed her with her adorable –
yet mischievous –pet pooch, Beth. The pair were visiting the Windsor branch of
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home last year to officially open new kennels and thank
the centre’s staff and supporters.
Camilla
got a helping hand from her Jack Russell Terrier to unveil the plaque, as Beth
helped pull a rope, which had a dog treat tied to it.
At the
time, the Duchess quipped: “Now they say you should never work with
animals, and now, with the help of Beth, I’m going to attempt to unveil a building
with the help of a dog. Brilliant. Anyone would think you’ve never been
fed.”
The
entertaining photo stars on Camilla’s thank you postcard this year with a
message on the back that reads: “So many thanks for your lovely Christmas
message. It was greatly appreciated and I wish you a healthy and happy New
Year.”
Royal fan and Instagram user, The Duchess of
Wonderland, shared a photo of the postcard, which had been hand-signed by
Camilla and personally addressed to the recipient.
Earlier this month, Camilla and her husband
Prince Charles released their official Christmas card photograph showing a
heartwarming moment from this year’s Royal Ascot.
The image was
taken by royal photographer Sam Hussein and showed Charles sweetly helping his
wife Camilla with her facemask – an apt image of 2021.
The
year before showed the royal couple sitting on a bench together in the
garden of their Scottish home, Birkhall, surrounded by colourful flowers.
