Amid royal tensions and health struggles, the monarch turns his focus to pampering palace pets
While dealing with cancer treatment and ongoing speculation about his future on the throne, King Charles has made a surprising — and heartwarming — move by launching a new venture celebrating his lifelong love for dogs.
The 76-year-old monarch, known for his commitment to tradition and sustainability, has introduced a line of hand-baked dog treats and luxury pet accessories, crafted at Balmoral Castle. The unexpected launch comes at a turbulent time for the royal family, as renewed allegations involving Prince Andrew resurface in a recently published biography, claiming an alleged affair with Ghislaine Maxwell.
Despite the headlines, the King is placing his attention on something wholesome: offering high-quality indulgence for dogs. The royal treats, priced at £5, are made in small batches with wholemeal flour, egg, and chicken stock — simple ingredients fit for a palace pup.
Marketed as “100 per cent natural biscuits, lovingly made in small batches for your four-legged prince or princess,” the treats are available through Balmoral’s official shop, reinforcing the royal family’s multi-generational fondness for their canine companions.
In addition to the biscuits, the collection features elegant accessories crafted from traditional tweed, adding a refined Scottish flair to any dog's daily stroll. The launch also coincides with the arrival of Snuff, an Italian Lagotto Romagnolo, who has recently joined the royal household.
Amid personal health battles and renewed family controversy, King Charles' latest decision underscores a softer side of royal leadership — one that honors loyalty, heritage, and the joy of a wagging tail.
