Queen Camilla was all smiles as she unveiled the new RHS and BBC Radio 2 'Dog Garden', designed by Monty Don at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home on Monday.
The King's wife, 77, who is the patron of the animal charity, paid tribute to the canine companions who reside at Battersea with the cutest piece of jewllery, and it added £6,550 in value to her collection.

The playful piece is part of a collection of animal-shaped brooches, which also include an owl, a lion, and a squirrel.
Van Cleef is highly popular with Gen Zs, with their bracelets being a viral sensation.

"King Charles' wife has many items from the brand; earrings and necklaces as well as bracelets. She seems to favour the 'Alhambra' range, which features lucky clover motifs."

Camilla's trendy Van Cleef aside, many of the royal's statement brooches are from the Royal Collection. During her attendance on day one of Royal Ascot in June, Camilla pinned the Cullinan V diamond heart-shaped brooch to her dove grey Dior dress.

This piece also belonged to the late Queen Mary. It was gifted to her in 1893 upon her marriage to the future King George V by the then-Tsarevich, the future Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.

This brooch was famously won by the daughter-in-law of King George III, Princess Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge, in a state-sponsored charity lottery.
