Highgrove decorations feature Camilla’s dog Beth and eco-friendly ornaments

The King’s country estate Highgrove has been decorated for Christmas, with a sweet nod to the Queen’s beloved dog Beth.

The handmade likeness of Beth, wearing a red bandana decorated with a crown, and one of Camilla’s other terrier Bluebell, complete with a crown on the dog’s head, are new additions to the Highgrove shop this year.

Staff at Highgrove in Gloucestershire are preparing to welcome the public for celebrations in the Orchard Room, the estate’s dedicated entertaining space, including offering two or three-course festive lunches in the run-up to Christmas.

The King’s eco-credentials have also been incorporated, with the lights all low voltage LEDs.

A pair of giant nutcrackers with their uniforms painted the colour of royal guardsmen in red tunics with tall black hats stand at the entrance.

The foundation runs education workshops onsite for traditional and endangered crafts such as millinery, embroidery and woodworking.

It also oversees public access to Highgrove through garden tours, tickets for which go on sale again in February 2025.
