Apparently, the human King Charles is a Jack Russell fan. But in the 1960s, as Cavaliers became more fashionable, poor old King Charles’s were left to dwindle. The two dogs look very similar, only Cavaliers are larger and with longer snouts. The Kennel Club reckons the breed’s demise might have something to do with their rather more popular cousin – the King Charles Cavalier spaniel (above). They have had plenty of royal fans since then: Princess Margaret owned one called Rolly and Queen Victoria’s King Charles, Dash, was supposedly her closest childhood friend.

According to worrying new numbers from breeders, only 14 King Charles puppies were registered in Britain in the first half of this year. King Charles is on the way out – the dog that is.
