Royal Gardener Reveals King Charles Has Not One, But Two Touching Memorials to His Late Dog at Highgrove House

The Royal Family have long been known for their love of dogs, but Queen Elizabeth's corgis aren't the only famous royal pets. King Charles and Queen Camilla share the late monarch's passion for canines—and in Camilla's case, rescue dogs. The Queen recently shared a photo of her new rescue puppy, Moley, ahead of a visit to a special dog-themed garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. And although The King's new puppy hasn't yet made his royal debut, one of the monarch's former gardeners has revealed the sweet tribute Charles designed for his late Jack Russell terrier, Tigga.

Speaking on behalf of Fruity King, Jack Stooks—who served as a gardener at The King's country house, Highgrove, for more than 20 years—said that his former boss lovingly created a spot for Tigga's final resting place when she died at the age of 18 in 2002.
