King Charles has gone head-to-head with Meghan Markle after announcing a quirky new product line just hours after his daughter-in-law revealed the upcoming second wave of her rosé wine.
The monarch will offer a collection of dog coats that take inspiration from his personal wardrobe.
Charles’s new line was unveiled at the Norfolk royal residence’s retail outlet.
The specially designed garments for dogs are priced between £39.99 and £49.99, depending on size.

The King has began selling coats from dogs, priced between £39.99 and £49.99
Available in small, medium and large sizes, the collection caters to various breeds.
According to shop signage, the designs also drew inspiration from “Sandringham’s loyal and trusted doggy visitors to the Royal parkland”.
The notice explained that canines visiting the estate grounds can now “look effortlessly stylish whilst enjoying a walk, wearing an elegant coat made in Sandringham Royal Tweed”.
The royal household’s own canines will be among the first to sport the new designs.

The new range is inspired by King Charles’s own wardrobe, particularly his love of tweed
Queen Camilla’s Jack Russell-cross Moley, adopted from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home earlier this year at just eight-weeks-old, may now be able to mirror the monarch’s sartorial choices.
Another potential model of the King’s new canine clothing may be his own Lagotto Romagnolo puppy, Snuff.
Charles is said to be “besotted” with the truffle-hunting pooch, his first four-legged companion in two decades.
The timing of the new royal venture coincides with the Duchess of Sussex’s triumphant announcement that her Napa Valley Rosé wine was returning.
