The King is selling £45 tweed coats for dogs, which are available through the Sandringham estate shop.
The “Happy Hound” coats, made exclusively for the shop at the monarch’s Norfolk home, mirrors Charles’s penchant for tweed.
The special version for the royals’ favourite household pet is listed online costing £44.99, with an accompanying description adding: “Stylish, machine washable and with a water layer, the Sandringham tweed dog coat is perfect for frosty winter walks.”

The sale of the Sherpa-fleece lined coats, hand-made in the UK, comes after the King and Queen recently adopted a new rescue puppy named Moley.
The dog, from Battersea Dogs and Cats home, was adopted by Camilla in May after the death of her beloved rescue terrier Beth. She adopted Beth in 2011 along with a second terrier, Bluebell, in 2012, from the same charity, of which she is patron.
The King, also an avid dog lover, was given a Lagotto Romagnolo named Snuff earlier this year. Snuff, whose breed is a specialist truffle-hunting dog from Italy, is Charles’s first dog in around two decades. The King is reportedly “besotted” with him.
The new additions to the Royal household will now be able to sport the new coats, which are made in Sandringham Royal Tweed with a brown collar and belt, and which come in small, medium and large.

A notice in the Sandringham shop reads: “Sandringham’s loyal and trusted doggy visitors to the royal parkland have been the inspiration for this collection. Pooches in the parkland can now look effortlessly stylish whilst enjoying a walk, wearing an elegant coat made in Sandringham Royal Tweed.”
His Majesty has been sporting tweed outerwear for decades, and the style is world-renowned as the epitome of British country chic.
One of Charles’s favourite coats is a herringbone tweed in a russet tone that has been a mainstay of his wardrobe since 1986, though it has been mended and updated over time.
His Anderson & Sheppard tweed coat is regularly seen on Christmas morning as he attends church services at Sandringham.
