PAUL O’Grady For The Love Of Dogs fans were in tears during a special episode of the show featuring Queen Consort Camilla.
The festive edition, subtitled ‘By Royal Appointment’ saw Paul and Camilla bonding over their mutual love of mutts.

The pair are both patrons of Battersea Dogs and Cats home, and the special saw Camilla throw a party for the charity at Clarence House.
Paul started the episode with an emotive plea to viewers, telling them that the famous rescue centre is “rammed” with dogs since lockdown.
“In the eleven years that I have been coming here, I have never known it so busy,” Paul told the cameras.
He then revealed he would be joined by his “special friend” Camilla, adding she is “as potty about dogs” as he is.
But while viewers enjoyed the banter between the former chat show host and his royal pal. it was the emotional stories about the pups that truly got them tearing up.
King Charles spaniel Flora was rescued as part of an abandoned litter of puppies.
She appeared unwell as she was underweight, subdued and her skin was red raw from itching.
As sad music played, viewers were convinced bad news was in store.
“Oh Flora, we hope you’ll be okay” tweeted one viewer, alongside a broken heart emoji.
“Poor Flora, I really shouldn’t watch always makes my cry,” sobbed another.
“Oh I heard the sad music. I hope Flora pulls through,” said another.
Luckily, the vets discovered she was suffering from worms and got her better.
And there was another heartwarming twist in store when ITV News’ Royal Editor Chris Ship met Flora at the Clarence House party, where the dogs were the guests of honour.
Chris fell in love with Flora and decided to adopt her, melting viewers hearts.
“I saw Flora at Clarence House and haven’t been able to stop thinking about her ever since,” Chris said as he arrived at Battersea to take her home two weeks later.
“She has got a lot of love to look forward to, she is going to be really well cared for and I reckon it is going to be quite the adventure.”
“How great @chrisshipitv gave Flora the king Charles spaniel puppy a home, she’s a gorgeous puppy. You have a friend for life Chris,” one wrote on twitter.
“Seeing Chris Ship taking wee Flora home just warmed my heart,” added a second.
“What a lovely episode,” a third chipped in. “Lots of tears from me but happy tears.”
