A breed of goat was given a rare royal title during the King and Queen’s visit to Guernsey on Tuesday.

Charles and Camilla granted the Golden Guernsey breed the special title of Royal Golden Guernsey Goat, conferring the award on eight-year-old Summerville Tamsin at an event in the gardens at Les Cotils.

It is the first time in recent history that the protected title has been granted to a livestock breed, and will apply to all Golden Guernseys on the island and elsewhere in the world.

Royal titles are granted sparingly, on the advice of the Cabinet Office and with strict standards applied.
