King Charles has a sentimental life-size sculpture in his country home – it pays tribute to one of his beloved pets

King Charles.

Clarence House in London remains King Charles III and Queen Camilla's official residence, but their country retreat, Highgrove House, is the home of the couple's most sentimental design decision.

The King, who is famously a dog lover, has cared for many Jack Russells over his lifetime, one of which was Tigga, who joined the royal household in the mid-1980s. Tigga was sadly put down by a vet at Highgrove House after failing to recover from a long illness, but today, his legacy lives on through a life-size willow sculpture designed by artist Emma Stothard. Tigga is a permanent fixture on the meadow edge of the Stumpery at Highgrove, the royal residence in Gloucestershire, southwest England.
