Then after grabbing all of the attention, the spaniel started digging up the garden.
Hard-working Princess Anne roared with laughter and promised not to tell her brother the King who was looking the other way.
The event saw 8,000 worthy members of the public including 999 heroes, invited to enjoy tea, cucumber sandwiches and cake in the gardens of the palace.
The band struck up rousing versions of Stevie Wonder and Austin Powers during the bash.

Charles, who owns a Lagotto Romagnolo called Snuff, was first to encounter Vegas with her owner, Kate Wilson, 52, from Horsham, West Sussex.
The friendly pooch leapt up and began licking the King’s hand and putting her paws on his morning suit.
But Charles stroked her head and said: “They do hearing dogs too, now?”
Vegas then leapt up at Queen Camilla dressed in a pale blue Fiona Clare suit and matching Philip Treacy hat with a moonstone brooch from her private collection.

As the excited pup then jumped on Anne she bent down and said: “Is it everyone or is it just me?”
Vegas’ owner said afterwards: “She’s a wonderful lady with all the work she does I’m a teacher and having Vegas has changed everything for me.
“It means she can alert me to things that are going on or alarms going off. And it means my son can leave me alone without worrying. It’s been life-changing.
“She does jump up a little but everyone took it in their stride.”
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester also joined the first garden party of the year.
Queen Camilla met with hundreds of members of the public and charity workers including from one of the domestic abuse charities she supports, Safe Lives, saying ‘You do a fantastic job’.
