King Charles and Queen Camilla have plans to expand their family at Buckingham Palace. As the British monarch made a solo appearance on Friday, Nov. 22 at this year’s Royal Variety Performance amidst his wife’s lingering health issues, he casually mentioned that he and Camilla are planning on getting a new dog, per Express.co.uk.

The three offspring of William and Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales, are doted on by their grandfather, who also happens to go by the name of King Charles III, also known as the reigning monarch of England.

The King stepped out for a star-studded soiree at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Friday night. The monarch was due to appear alongside Queen Camilla, however, the 77-year-old withdrew at the last minute as she continues to recover from an earlier chest infection.
