Her lifelong connection with corgis began in childhood; her father, King George VI, gifted her a corgi named Dookie when she was seven.

On her 18th birthday in 1944, she received Susan, the dog that would become the matriarch of her own corgi dynasty, with many of the Queen’s 30+ corgis over her lifetime being Susan’s direct descendants.

Corgis were not just pets but beloved companions for the Queen, often traveling with her—including on her honeymoon with Prince Philip.

The Queen’s devotion extended to their daily care: her corgis enjoyed special privileges, gourmet meals prepared by palace chefs, and dedicated staff attention.

Their presence was constant during important moments, including royal ceremonies, family holidays, and even in her final days.

The corgi’s visibility soared thanks to their frequent appearances alongside Her Majesty—in iconic photographs, official portraits, and even media events like the Olympic Games’ opening ceremony, where they shared the spotlight with famous figures such as James Bond.

Content: King Charles Spaniel numbers are declining and the breed is on the Kennel Club's 'vulnerable list' - amid Corgi boom following Queen Elizabeth's death

  • Corgis have seen boom in popularity after Platinum Jubilee and death of Queen
  • Number of Pembroke Welsh Corgis registered with Kennel Club hit 30-year peak
  • But popularity of King Charles Spaniels is continuing to decline, hitting a low
  • Lovers of the breed are hoping sharing name with new King will boost the dogs

Interest in Corgis has boomed following the Platinum Jubilee and the death of Queen Elizabeth, according to the Kennel Club.

Numbers of Pembroke Welsh Corgis registered with the organisation have reached a 30-year high, the Times reports.

Conversely, King Charles Spaniels are continuing to see a decline in their popularity, with lovers of the breed reportedly hoping that sharing a moniker with the new monarch may give the dogs a boost (though the new king prefers Jack Russells).

The breed, which is on the Kennel Club's vulnerable list, hit a low in 2020, with just 56 registrations. This increased to 91 in 2021, but numbers so far this year are so low, it is likely to drop beneath 2020.

The number of Corgis registered with the Kennel Club has reached a 30-year high, with interest growing following the death of the Queen (pictured here in 1980 with three of the dogs)

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (as pictured) are doing well in terms of popularity, although their close relative the King Charles Spaniel (not pictured) is seeing a decline

However, it notes that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, the original breed from which King Charles diverged in the middle of the century, is doing well, with 3,772 registrations last year.

The original Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog breed was developed from toy spaniels. Popular as women's pets, they were also beloved of King Charles II, who was said to be so fond of his spaniels, he could not be parted from them.

Although Corgis were on the Kennel Club's vulnerable list in 2014, they are now one ofthe UK's most popular breeds, and the Queen is credited with boosting their popularity (pictured: Queen Elizabeth with one of her beloved corgis, Candy)

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi has become known as a symbol of British royalty thanks to its long-standing association with the Queen

Lovers of the ailing King Charles Spaniel may look to the influence the Queen had in turning around the fortune of corgis in recent decades.

The breed was listed as 'vulnerable' in 2014, and the Kennel Club credits Her Majesty's love of the dogs as the major factor in making them one of the UK's most popular breeds today.

Corgis, which have four short legs, a long snout and two huge pointed ears, are famous for being a symbol of British royalty.

HISTORY OF THE CORGI BREED

The word 'Corgi' is Welsh for 'Dwarf Dog', and there are two types; the Pembroke, which is the Queen's breed, and the Cardigan Corgi, a descendent Teckel family of dogs, which also produced the Dachshund

Pembroke Welsh Corgis originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales from the Spitz family of dogs which are characterised by long, thick fur and pointed ears and muzzle

Corgis are a cattle herding breed that can be traced back as far as 1107 AD, thought to have been brought to Wales by  Flemish weavers

They are the type of herding dog referred to as 'heelers', meaning that they would nip at the heels of cattle to keep them moving

The combination of their low height off the ground and the innate agility of Welsh Corgis would allow them to avoid the hooves of the larger animals

They were officially recognised as a native British breed by The Kennel Club in 1928, but Cardigans and Pembrokes weren't seen as separate breeds until 1934

The Queen owned more than 30 of the sandy, short-legged dogs throughout her reign.

She was gifted her first corgi, called Susan, for her 18th birthday from her late father King George VI. Ten generations of her corgis then descended from Susan.

Her dogs were given the Royal treatment having their own rooms with elevated wicker baskets and meals of beef, chick, rabbit, liver, cabbage and rice being prepared by a chef each evening.

Sometimes the Queen herself made the dog's meals. But her late husband was said to have 'loathed' the dogs' yapping.

She left behind two dogs - Sandy and Muick - who are now cared for by Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York at their Royal Lodge home.

Muick, pronounced Mick, joined the royal family at the start of 2021 along with a so-called 'dorgi', a cross between a corgi and a dachshund, called Fergus.

Fergus, who had been named after the Monarch's uncle who was killed during battle in the First World War, died after just five months.

He was later replaced with a new corgi called Sandy, as a 95th birthday present from Prince Andrew and his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Meanwhile Muick was named after Loch Muick on the Balmoral Estate.

Palace sources speaking to the Daily Mail previously revealed the beloved corgis were 'with [the Queen] in the room' at her deathbed when she died on September 8 at Balmoral.

They then touched people's hearts when they made a poignant appearance at Her Majesty's funeral on September 19.

As the late monarch's coffin made its way from London to its final resting place in Windsor, Muick and Sandy waited for the processional to pass, to see the Queen for one last time.

The dogs were seen waiting in the quadrangle with two aides before the late monarch was laid to rest in St George's Chapel.

The late Queen's former daughter-in-law took over care of her final two corgis, Muick and Sandy, after her passing - housing them at Royal Lodge in Windsor.

The duchess has revealed how Queen Elizabeth 'entrusted' her with their care after death. Sarah shared a photograph of herself crouching on the edge of a field with the dogs, as she commemorated the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death a year today.

Sandy and Muick were given to the Queen during the coronavirus pandemic as gifts from her son the Duke of York. They played a sweet role in her committal service at Windsor Castle last September.

The neatly groomed dogs were brought to the castle's quadrangle for the arrival of the late Queen's coffin, ahead of the service exclusive to family and trusted staff at St George's Chapel. Sarah Ferguson - nicknamed Fergie - wrote: "As we mourn a year on, we also celebrate the wonderful times we shared with Her Late Majesty the Queen.

"She entrusted me with the care of her corgis Sandy and Muick and I am delighted to say they are thriving."

Throughout her life, the Queen owned more than 30 corgis - many of which were direct descendants from Susan, who was an 18th birthday present from her parents in 1944. The Queen fell in love with her father George VI's dog Dookie, and wanted a corgi of her own.

Susan was so loved and cherished that she even accompanied Princess Elizabeth on her honeymoon.

She was given her first personal corgi, Susan, as an 18th birthday gift.

- **Royal Breeding Legacy:** Susan not only accompanied the Queen everywhere—including her honeymoon—but also became the foundation of a royal corgi line, with many of Her Majesty’s over 30 dogs descending from Susan.

Title:

Content: Throughout her life, the Queen has made no secret of her love for her corgis and dorgis. The monarch has often been seen alongside her furry friends, and it is thought that she has looked after more than 30 of the dogs over the years.

As you can imagine, the Queen’s beloved pets have been treated to lives of pure luxury, with their meals more extravagant than most. The pampered pooches obviously couldn't just eat any old normal dog food, but instead are said to feast on the best ingredients produced by top chefs.

The corgis' diet is thought to be made up of luxurious meals such as fillet steaks and chicken breast. Royal biographer Brian Hoey revealed the details of the corgi’s luxurious diet in his book Pets by Royal Appointment.

The biographer also revealed how the carefully prepared meals are delivered by a footman and then covered in gravy that is poured by the Queen herself. The pampered pets are also reportedly off limits when it comes to discipline. Brian wrote in his book that nobody is allowed to raise a finger or a voice to any of the dogs.

He claimed they cock their legs and do what corgis do wherever they want — on antique furniture, priceless carpets. They are also said to have their own room and they are allowed to wander around freely. According to Mail Online, the dogs never eaten tinned food and have even been given homeopathic remedies when they get sick.

The monarch’s close relationship with the corgi breed of dog goes back to 1933 when her father brought home a corgi that would later be named Dookie. When she was younger the Queen also had a corgi called Susan, who was gifted to her in 1944 for her 18th birthday, and quickly became a close companion.

Many of the Queen’s later corgis are said to be descendants of Susan, as the Queen continued to breed the line of dogs over fifty years. She even went on to create a number of 'dorgis', after cross breeding one of her dogs with Margaret's Dachshund, Pipkin.

Last year the Queen welcomed two new dorgis, one called Fergus and one called Muick, but the former sadly died from a heart defect in May. In June 2021, Prince Andrew and daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie gave the Queen a new puppy, named Sandy, on what would have been Prince Philip's 100th birthday.

According to Hello!, one of the Queen's closest aides, Angela Kelly, has told how the pets "always brought a smile to everyone's faces" in a new chapter for her book The Other Side of the Coin, The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe. She said: "I was worried they would get under The Queen's feet, but they have turned out to be a godsend. They are beautiful and great fun and The Queen often takes long walks with them in Home Park."

Angela revealed that the dogs accompanied the Queen on a flight to Balmoral in August 2021. She told: "They were very well behaved, with Louis the footman on hand. Candy, who is an old hand at flying – she must have been on hundreds of flights in her lifetime – ambled about and kept her eye on the young pups. The puppies stayed close to The Queen but occasionally sniffed around your feet as they hoped for a nibble of something tasty from our lunch."

Content: Prince William reassures fan that Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved corgis are ‘fine’

As Prince William surprised mourners waiting outside Westminster Hall to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday, one had a pressing question on her mind: How are the late Queen’s beloved corgis faring?

“I saw them the other day,” the recently anointed Prince of Wales, 40, said in response.

“They’re being looked after fine. They’re two very friendly corgis. They’ve got a good home, they’re being looked after very well.”

The woman looked rather relieved to hear this, offering her condolences to William before he continued down the line.

It’s widely known that Queen Elizabeth harbored a lifelong adoration for the dog breed.

When she died on Sept. 8 at the age of 96, she left two of them behind: Muick and Sandy, along with a cocker spaniel named Lissy. Another one of her much-loved pups, an elderly dachshund-corgi mix named Candy, reportedly passed away just months before the Queen‘s death.

As Prince William alluded, Muick and Sandy have already safely moved in with Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson – with whom he still cohabitates – at their shared residence in Windsor. Meanwhile, Lissy is reportedly staying with her trainer, per E!.

As previously reported, it was back in 1933 when Queen Elizabeth II received her first corgi, Dookie. The pooch was gifted to the then-7-year-old by her father, George VI.

The late Queen Elizabeth II owned more than 30 corgis throughout her life, getting her first one in 1933 at age 7.

Then, on the Queen’s 18th birthday in 1944, her parents gave her another corgi-pup, this one named Susan.

It’s been reported that, of the more than 30 corgis Queen Elizabeth was said to have owned over her lifetime, many were Susan’s descendants. The lineage sadly ended in 2015, however, when her last living progeny, Willow, died at the age of 15.

The Duke and Duchess of York brought Muick – along with another pooch named Fergus who tragically succumbed to a congenital heart defect very shortly thereafter – into the Queen’s life in March of 2021 to cheer her up in light of her late husband Prince Philip’s declining health. The late Duke of Edinburgh died at the age of 99 that April.

From there, Sandy found her way to Buckingham Palace on the occasion of the Queen’s 95th birthday.

She seemed to have no problem fitting right into the royal lifestyle, easily making her way into the monarch’s heart after the loss of her husband.

Accounts describe their special treatment: their own “corgi room,” personalized meals prepared by royal chefs, and extensive liberties within palaces.

Content: The Real Reason Queen Elizabeth Had To Stop Riding Her Horses

Queen Elizabeth is a well-documented animal lover and is rumored to have owned as many as nine Corgis (her famous trademark breed of choice) at one time, per Vogue. The outlet reported her dogs sleep in their own suite — dubbed the "corgi room" — inside Buckingham Palace and have meals prepared by their own chef. As royal biographer Penny Junor told The Sun, "They have over the years been closer to her than any human being ... they have never let her down."

The queen is also a lifelong devotee of horses. As the official royal family Twitter account wrote in May 2020, "Her Majesty has enjoyed riding since childhood and is closely involved with the welfare of the horses she owns for breeding, riding and racing." The tweet included photos of Queen Elizabeth interacting with horses over the course of her life.

Per People, the queen was gifted a Shetland pony — her first equine love — at 4 years old. Elizabeth's fondness for the animals and the sport of horseback riding was then passed down to her daughter, Princess Anne, and granddaughter, Zara Tindall. Anne even became the first royal to compete in the Olympics when she entered the 1976 Games in Montreal's equestrian event.

Given the news of her sudden late-October hospitalization, what does this mean for Elizabeth and her future as a hobby equestrian?

Queen Elizabeth can't wait to get back in the saddle

Queen Elizabeth has been on break from her cherished hobby of horseback riding since early September, and as a source told The Sun, she's not happy about it. "She was in quite a bit of discomfort," the insider's scoop explained. "She adores riding and it has been part of her ritual for most of her life. She has been extremely disappointed not to go riding since the beginning of September."

Elizabeth's health has been a matter of public discussion since she was hospitalized at King Edward VII's Hospital the night of October 20, per the Daily Mail. Prior to this news was announced, the monarch had canceled a scheduled trip to mark Northern Ireland's 100th anniversary and been spotted walking with assistance from a cane, as noted by People

Despite canceling a few more subsequent engagements, Buckingham Palace reassured that Elizabeth was on the mend at the time. "Following medical advice to rest for a few days, the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today and remains in good spirits," its official statement read. People insiders also revealed that Elizabeth herself expected to be back on the horse (literally) as soon as she's rested up.

- **Media and Culture Influence:** The Queen’s visible and affectionate relationship with her corgis consistently featured in media, adding to their prominence.

Images of the Queen with her corgis became instantly recognizable worldwide, cementing the breed’s association with charm, loyalty, and regality.

- **Cultural Celebrations:** Public events and parades, such as the annual "Tour de Corgi" in her honor, have been inspired by her devotion, strengthening the cultural prestige of the breed even after her passing.

Annual ‘Tour de Corgi’ event to include new ‘Queen Elizabeth’ costume category to honour the monarch

“We all have a very strong affection for her as a fellow corgi lover," Tour de Corgi founder Tracy Stewart was quoted as saying

As a tribute to the late UK monarch Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away at the age of 96 at her Balmoral estate in Scotland on September 8, after reigning for 70 long years, the Tour de Corgi parade — an annual event that celebrates the dog breed corgi — will include a new element this year that is likely to make fans of the British royal family and corgi lovers happy.

It is no secret that the queen was extremely fond of dogs, especially corgis, from a very early age, and that she had been breeding them until 2018, when she finally realised that she may have to leave some of them behind after her death.

According to Country Living, the queen had four dogs at the time of her death: two Pembroke Welsh Corgis, a Dorgi (Corgi-Dachshund mix), and a Cocker Spaniel named Lissy, who joined the family only this year, in January 2022.

In her lifetime, she reportedly bred 14 generations of corgis, and even famously declared: “My corgis are family.”

According to an Independent report, Queen Elizabeth‘s love for her four-legged friends was well-documented during this year’s platinum jubilee celebrations in the UK, when the sky above Buckingham Palace was lit up with images of the dog breed.

The publication mentioned that the Tour de Corgi parade this year — which has been taking place in Fort Collins, Colorado since 2014 — will include a “Queen Elizabeth and her corgis” costume competition, in “memorium and to honour her”, quoting the event’s organisers who shared this with a local newspaper ‘The Coloradoan‘.

This is a May 12, 1973 file photo of Queen Elizabeth II sitting with her corgis, at Virginia Water to watch competitors, including Prince Philip in the Marathon of the European Driving Championship, part of the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

Tour de Corgi founder Tracy Stewart was quoted as saying, “We all have a very strong affection for her as a fellow corgi lover. I think it is just, you know, our dogs are such a big part of our hearts that it creates a very heartfelt connection.”

The aforementioned event will take place on October 1, 2022, and will conclude with a corgi parade through the town.

According to a Reader’s Digest report, the queen was fond of corgis because of their “energy and untamed spirit”, and the fact that her parents welcomed the family’s first corgi, Dookie, in 1933. Eleven years later, in 1944, the queen’s father gifted her a corgi named Susan for her 18th birthday. The pupper even accompanied her on her honeymoon, and gave birth to a pair of puppies in 1949, which reportedly marked the beginning of the royal line of corgis.

Content: It's no secret that Queen Elizabeth is a huge dog lover, so it comes as no surprise that her pet pooches live very lavish lifestyles.

Her Majesty, 95, has taken care of numerous dogs throughout her 70-year reign, and she is currently the owner of two corgis, a dorgi called Candy, and a cocker spaniel named Lissy.

The Queen's pet corgis have been a constant throughout her time on the throne, and it's believed that she's had around 30 dogs throughout her lifetime.

Like any other dog owner, the Queen wants the very best for her pet pooches and that includes a tailored menu, special travel arrangements, and a specific feeding ritual.

Tailored menu

It's no secret that members of the royal household have their own weekly menus and that also includes the Queen's pet dogs, too.

Her Majesty is very particular about what her pet dogs eat and she reportedly insists that they have their own personal menus.

Former royal chef Darren McGrady revealed what the pooches' diet entails, saying: "The corgis have their own menu. One day they'll have lamb, one day beef and then another, chicken."

He also added: "We had to make sure that all the meat was cut very finely and diced so there were no bones because we couldn't have them choking."

The Queen has also created her own special gravy recipe, specifically for her beloved pups.

In the book All The Queen's Corgis, author Penny Junor explained the dogs' diets consists of a "variety of fresh, cooked meat, vegetables and rice, prepared specially for them in the royal kitchens, topped with a little biscuit, homoeopathic and herbal remedies when required, and a special gravy that, legend has it, is the Queen's own recipe".

Feeding routine

It's not just their meals which are specially prepared, as the dogs also have a strict feeding ritual.

Animal psychologist Dr Roger Mugford previously worked for Her Majesty, and has opened up about the pooches meal times at Buckingham Palace.

Speaking to Town and Country magazine, he said: "Their food was served by a butler in an eclectic collection of battered silver and porcelain dishes.

"As I watched, the Queen got the corgis to sit in a semi-circle around her, and then fed them one by one, in order of seniority. The others just sat and patiently waited their turn."

Author Penny Junor also wrote in her book, All The Queen's Corgis: "Whenever possible, she [the Queen] feeds them herself and it is an afternoon ritual; but not an unruly frantic free-for-all.

"A footman brings the food and bowls on a silver tray and lays out a plastic sheet to protect the carpet.

"The Queen then sits them in a semi-circle around her and does the rest."

Travelling

The Queen regularly has to travel, but her beloved pooches are never left behind.

She ensures they also travel in style, with previous photographs showing her pets sitting on her lap while travelling in the car.

Her dogs have also been spotted at airports with her, and were once seen at Aberdeen Airport preparing to head off to the Balmoral estate, located in the Scottish Highlands.

Sleeping arrangements

As well as tailored menus and lavish travel arrangements, the Queen's pet dogs also have their very own quarters at the palace.

The dogs reportedly have their own spacious room where they sleep in luxurious raised wicker beds.

And that's not all, as their beds also have fresh sheets put on them daily – a tradition which was first started by the Queen Mother.

Content: Queen Elizabeth II is known to have had over 30 different dogs during her reign as the head of the monarchy until her passing last week, Thursday September 8th 2022.

The Queen who has been succeeded by her son, the now His Royal Highness King Charles III, was a big animal lover, but had a definite soft spot for dogs, and in particular, the breed Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

On the day she passed, Queen Elizabeth II had four dogs, two Pembroke Welsh Corgis, one Dorgi — a cross between a Dachshund and a Corgi — and one Cocker Spaniel.

It has been confirmed that her two remaining Corgis, named Muick and Sandy, will now be looked after by her son, Prince Andrew The Duke of York.

He will look after the dogs alongside his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York. Despite divorcing in 1997, they remain cohabiting.

The animals will live alongside The Duke and Duchess at their Royal Lodge in Windsor.

The change of ownership was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Duke of York.

Both dogs were gifted to the late monarch by the prince, and so will be returned to his ownership.

During lockdown, Prince Andrew gave Queen Elizabeth two dogs, Muick and Fergus. Sadly, Fergus died last May, and he was replaced with Sandy.

Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, posted an emotional statement following the loss of her former mother-in-law.

"I am heartbroken by the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy: the most fantastic example of duty and service and steadfastness, and a constant steadying presence as our head of state for more than 70 years," she penned.

"To me, she was the most incredible mother-in-law and friend. I will always be grateful to her for the generosity she showed me in remaining close to me even after my divorce. I will miss her more than words can express."

Queen Elizabeth II was renowned for her love of dogs, and other animals including horses.

She began her love of Pembroke Welsh Corgis back in 1933, when she was first given a little corgi named Susan as a gift for her 18th birthday.

All of the subsequent royal corgis bred by the monarch descended from Susan, the original.

It is not known or publicised who will care for Candy and Lissy, the previously mentioned Dorgi and Cocker Spaniel.

Dogs in the role of pets of the royal families are a very long time, and especially they are loved by the British royal family.
The main lover of dogs, and it is Corgi, is Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
The first dog of this breed was presented to her by her father, King George VI, and 7-year-old Princess Elizabeth named the puppy Dookie.
Since then, and especially since the coronation of Elizabeth, Corgi have become residents of Buckingham Palace.
Most of the pets that later lived in the palace are the descendants of this dog.
At the court of Elizabeth II lived a total of more than 30 corgis.
And they became the only living creatures that are allowed to enter the room ahead of the Queen.
At some point, the Queen brought out a new breed – the Dorgi: this happened after one of her corgis had an affair with Princess Margaret ’ s Pipkin Dachshund.
So were born dogs named Vulcan and Candy.
The last corgi of Elizabeth II – 15-year-old Willow – died in 2018.
And in 2015, it was announced that the Queen will no longer breed them, since she has no idea who will take care of the corgi when she is gone.
At the end of 2020, one of her favorite dogs passed away - Dorgi Volcano, who posed with her mistress for Vanity Fair magazine in 2018.
After that, Her Majesty of Great Britain left only one dog, also a breed of Dorgy – Candy.
The coronavirus pandemic made its changes to the Queen ’ s plans: during the lockdown, she was presented with two Dorgy puppies – Fergus and Muick, and the gift was presented by her youngest son, Prince Andrew.
Unfortunately, Fergus died in May 2021.
But in June, in honor of the 100th anniversary of Prince Philip, Andrew bought his mother another puppy.
The future Queen of Great Britain, Princess Elizabeth
Warm feelings for the four-legged were adopted by Prince William and Harry, who got along with dogs since childhood.
In the family of William and Kate Middleton lived cocker spaniel Lupo, which they in 2011 for the wedding gave brother Kate – James, who is engaged in breeding dogs.
In November 2020, the dog was gone, and Middleton Jr. gave them a new puppy, whose name and even sex were unknown.
Probably, the baby, born by the sister of the same Lupo, the couple are very fond – during the last release last week, Kate and William, having met a puppy therapist in a hospital in Lancashire, told reporters that they are glad that their dog (yes, this is “she ”) does not see how they cute communicate with this charming puppy.
Prince Charles and Princess Diana with their sons William and Harriet Middleton and Prince William
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also have their own history of relationships with dogs: now with the spouses in Montecito live beagle Guy and black Labrador retriever Pula.
Dog Guy is a real traveler: the dog moved with Megan to London in 2017 (her second dog she could not take because of the venerable age of the dog), and in 2019, he returned to the United States with his mistress.
The level of attachment of British monarchs to dogs (and not only) was reflected in art: in the summer of 2020, the theme of the annual photo exhibition at Buckingham Palace, which is held when Elizabeth II goes on vacation to Balmoral, was the theme of the love of members of the British royal family for animals.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry with the President and First Lady of Ireland and their dogs, 2018
There are other relatives of Elizabeth II: her son, Prince Edward, and daughter-in-law, Countess Sophie, have two dogs – a black Labrador and a Cocker Spaniel – and even a turtle.
Princess Anne ’ s daughter Zara Tindall and her husband Mike are the lucky owners of boxer Sway and two black labradors Storm and Pepper.
And, it seems, they are most loved by the couple ’ s daughters: once in the paparazzi captured the scene of Mia and Lena walking the dogs themselves.
However, due to the fact that the girls were very little, it is difficult to understand who was walking whom at that time.
And the eldest son of the Queen, Prince Charles, and Duchess Camilla live two dogs – Beth and Bluebell, and the second Duchess found on the street.
However, British monarchs are not the only ones who get along well with dogs.
In the Danish royal family (Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Marie) until 2021, there was only one dog – Border Collie Grace.
But in December she gave birth to two puppies.
In the royal family of the Netherlands (King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima), Labrador named Luna, Skipper and Nala live for several years, and in October they had a Mambo puppy.
In Norway, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit have their own pets – Labradoodle Muffin and Millie Cocoa.
This dog once greatly battered the nerves of its owners: in 2017, during a trip to the mountains, where the family was skiing, the dog escaped, but soon found him.
King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia are avid dog owners no less than their “colleague ” Elizabeth: many years ago they had a dog Bingo, and in recent years they see a mongrel Brandi next to them.
Their daughter, Crown Princess Victoria, started the Rio Cavudla in the spring of 2020, which is a cross between a cavalier and a poodle.
We offer you to see a selection of the most interesting, cute, funny, touching photos with the participation of dogs and representatives of monarchies from around the world.

Queen Elizabeth asks Prince William and Kate Middleton to weigh themselves to celebrate Christmas

On Christmas Day, families love to brag about how much food they can cook and eat, as a manifestation of celebrating that occasion that many are waiting for every year, but when you are a member of the royal family, it turns out that you have to do something different.
Yes, as if Christmas at the Sandringham royal house in Norfolk doesn ’ t seem hard enough, but there is also a very strange tradition that every member of the royal family should follow.
In 2018, royal expert Ingrid Seward told Italian magazine Grazia that Queen Elizabeth asked every one of her guests — including Kate Middleton and Prince William — to “weigh themselves ” when they arrived, using a set of antique scales.
"But all of this is to make sure that the guests are having a good time, and being weighed to make sure they are (being well fed)."
This tradition dates back to the reign of King Edward VII in the early 20th century and is applied to all members of the royal family.
Since Christmas celebrations are undeniably about eating, the royal family first enjoys a “turkey ” dinner, before indulging in afternoon tea with a“ giant frozen cake. ”
Besides, the Queen's guests must also enter the dining room in the "order of seniority", and after they sit down, the chef cuts the turkey, and then everyone wears paper hats, except the Queen.
To “make room ” for lavish afternoon tea, the royal family then toured the Sandringham estate and enjoyed a“ candlelight dinner in the dining room ” in the evening.
The Queen always makes sure her beloved Corgi get “special treatment ” on Christmas Day as well, with former royal chef Darren McGrady noting that Her Majesty ’ s dogs get a special Christmas meal too, consisting of“ fresh local produce ”.
McGrady said, “Even corgi — 12 when I was a chef — have their own menus, usually including rotating fresh rabbits, beef or chicken with rice and cabbage. ”

Cairo - Al Wasat Gate Saturday 06 May 2023, 10: 26 am
Corgi, a favorite of the late Queen Elizabeth II, were replaced by Jack Russell dogs, beloved by King Charles III and Queen Camilla, which could increase the breed's popularity in the UK.
Currently living in Buckingham Palace are two dogs, BlueBell and Beth, a Jack Russell, according to AFP.
Charles and Camilla were pictured on the 15th anniversary of their wedding in 2020 carrying dogs from a species known for its short and high-energy bobber.
Jack Russell's bloodline.
Bill Lambert, spokesman for the Kennel Club, Britain ’ s largest dog health and training organisation, said: “If King Charles shows up with his dogs a lot, it ’ s likely that the breed will grow in popularity in the UK. ”
Lambert noted an increase in the number of recordings of puppies belonging to the Jack Russell breed.
He suggested that the number of corgi possessed by Elizabeth II during her 70 years in power could be limited.
The Jack Russell breed, introduced in England during the 19th century to hunt foxes, is mainly famous in the United Kingdom.
Lambert explained that these dogs are smart and funny, and love to be surrounded by people and live in luxury.
Camilla adopted Beth from the Patricia Dogs & Cats Animal Shelter in London.
Bluebell was in the same shelter and joined the royal family after Beth.
Becky Lauder, the head of the adoption program at the Battersea Dogs and Cats shelter, told AFP that joining the royal family would remind everyone that there are animals waiting to be adopted, and that there are a large number of cats and dogs waiting to be joined in a home that provides them with proper care.

The most loyal public servant of Queen Elizabeth II should belong to her Corgi.
These puppies have been at the Queen ’ s feet for generations, accompanying her for nearly a century, and the Queen has raised more than 30 Corgi in her lifetime.
The combination of the Queen and the Corgi is as natural as the British drink tea and cake, making the little-known breed known around the world.
This brown puppy with pointy ears bustled around the Buckingham Palace, following the Queen from room to room and appearing in official photographs.
In the 2012 London Olympics opening video, the puppies even performed as part of the show.
In the film, the Queen of England leaves Buckingham Palace accompanied by Daniel Craig's 007 agent and climbs into a helicopter, leaving behind her Corgi dogs Holly, Monty and Willow.

As a child, the Queen loved the Corgi.
When she was seven years old in 1933, little Elizabeth visited the home of a friend who had a dog and wanted to have one. Her father, George VI, gave her her first dog, Dookie.
However, the royal Corgi family, which has been with the Queen for more than 70 years, originated in 1944 when King George VI gave her her Corgi, Susan, on the Queen ’ s 18th birthday.
Even as the Queen went on her honeymoon and ascended to the throne at the age of 25, Susan accompanied her.
She loves Susan so much, and the Corky dogs she keeps are all descendants of Susan.
The Queen stopped keeping Corgi in her 90s because she didn ’ t want the puppy to become an orphan after her death. In 2018, her last Corgi dog, Vero, died.
Despite this, in the last moments of her life, the Queen was accompanied by two "Dachshund" dogs, mixed with the Koki.
One of the puppies, Vulcan, died in 2020.
But in March 2021, it was rumored that the Queen had two more Corgi puppies.
The royal family was battling a series of crises, including the Queen ’ s husband, Prince Philip, who was in declining health at the time.
The two Corgi are said to have been with the Queen when she moved to quarantine at Windsor Castle in the western suburbs of London during the outbreak.
Royal writer Penny Junor told The Sun that the dogs loved the Queen very much and never disappointed her.
She said, “Of course, the Corgi won ’ t go to Los Angeles for an interview. ”
She was referring to Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who spat bitterly during an interview with the famous Oprah Winfrey, accusing the royal family of racism and not supporting them.
According to Brian Hoey, author of Pets by Royal Appointment, the Queen loves her Corgi so much that she prepares her own food for them.
Every day at 5 p.m., the servant prepares the dog ’ s filet steak and chicken breast for dinner, and the Queen personally waters the gravy.
However, not everyone in the royal family loves dogs.
According to Hoy, the Queen ’ s husband reportedly doesn ’ t like the stumbling, short-legged puppies because they bark too much.

Queen ’ s 98-Year-Old First Statue Reveals 50 Corgi Testimony
The first memorial statue of the late Queen Elizabeth II was unveiled on the occasion of her 98th birthday. Behind the statue, a statue of the Queen ’ s favorite Corgi was also unveiled, and 50 Corgi were witnessed at the unveiling ceremony.
The British Daily Mail reported that the Queen's memorial statue, modeled after her youthful appearance, is made of bronze, 7 feet (2.13 m) tall, wearing a flowing robe, and is accompanied by three Corgi under her feet, one of which also playfully protrudes from the Queen's skirt.
At the unveiling ceremony, nearly 50 dogs from the Welsh Corgi League were also present, barking with "praise".
Sculptor Hywel Pratley, who created the statue, said the statue would not only be popular with royalty fans, but also attract people to check in.
Elizabeth II had 30 corgi and doggies in her lifetime, and no matter where she went, the dogs were almost inseparable.
During her reign, almost everywhere she went, she was able to take pictures of her staying with her dog.
Her love for Corgi dates back to her childhood when her father, King George VI, bought a Pembrokeshire Welsh Corgi when she was 7 years old.
It is reported that in 1944, on the Queen ’ s 18th birthday, a Corgi named Susan arrived.
The Queen loved Susan so much that she even took her husband Prince Philip with her on their honeymoon.
When the Queen gave birth to Prince Charles, now King Charles, the newspaper columns were filled with advice on how to prevent Susan from becoming jealous of the baby prince. After Susan ’ s death in 1959, the Queen herself designed the gravestone for the dog.

The Queen's beloved Corgi and one of her favourite ponies staged a touching farewell to their owners in a final, loyal farewell.
Two well-groomed puppies, Muick and Sandy, were led by red and blue towing ropes to the grounds of Windsor Castle, waiting for the Queen ’ s casket to be delivered to St George ’ s Church for a final farewell ceremony.

It was a moving scene as the lone pony stood among hundreds of bouquets of flowers in mourning for the Queen, cared for by Terry Pendry, the Queen's trusted horseman and administrator of Windsor Castle.
Dressed in a bowler hat, black jacket and horse boots, Pendry bowed his head as the Queen passed by.
Behind Pendry and Emma were horsemen from the Royal Stables in Windsor, wearing black armbands as a sign of mourning.

As the owner's coffin and funeral procession passed before her, the black pony, with its ears twitched and its tail wagging, stomped twice on the ground with a front hoof.
Pendry once described Emma as "an excellent servant of Her Majesty" and one of her favourite horses.
Queen Elizabeth II is known for her love of puppies and horses as well as her passion for horse racing and breeding thoroughbreds.
The dogs, Mick and Sandy, were being watched by two royal guards in red uniforms on Monday, and they stroked the dog as one of them lay face down on the ground.
The Queen has owned more than 30 Corgi in her lifetime.
Many of her Corgi are direct descendants of Susan, an 18th birthday present given to her by her parents in 1944.
At the time, the Queen was very fond of her father George VI ’ s dog, Dookie, a Pembrokeshire Corgi, and wanted to have a dog of her own.

Susan is a very pleasant puppy, she has been with Princess Elizabeth during her honeymoon.
In 2021, during the Queen ’ s isolation at Windsor, Prince Andrew gave her two new puppies (a doggy and a corgi) as gifts.
The puppies brought joy to the Queen during the Duke of Edinburgh's hospital stay, as well as Buckingham Palace and members of the royal family dealing with the painful aftermath of Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah.
The Queen named Fergus after her uncle who died during World War I, and Mick the Corgi after Muick, pronounced Mick at Balmoral Estate.
But the death of five-month-old Fergus shortly after Prince Philip's death left the Queen in mourning.
Fergus was then replaced by a new Corgi, a gift from Andrew and Princess Beatrice and Eugenie for the Queen's official 95th birthday, which the Queen named Sandy.
Angela Kelly, the Queen's grooming guru, said the two puppies had been a source of joy for the Queen during the lockdown.

Corgis were not just pets but beloved companions for the Queen, often traveling with her—including on her honeymoon with Prince Philip.

The Queen’s devotion extended to their daily care: her corgis enjoyed special privileges, gourmet meals prepared by palace chefs, and dedicated staff attention.

Their presence was constant during important moments, including royal ceremonies, family holidays, and even in her final days.

Content: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom died on the 9th.
She is a well-known animal lover in the United Kingdom. She loves Corgi and horses, and the fate of these pets has become the focus of people's attention after her death.
In an interview with The New York Post, royal biographer Claudia Joseph said that the royal family is a dog lover, so any of them can take one or two dogs.
Prince Andrew has a cocker dog, so he may take back the one he gave to the Queen.
Prince William and Princess Kate also love dogs, so they can have them.
But it is also possible to continue to be cared for by court staff so that these pets do not need to move.
Queen Elizabeth left in the animal kingdom not only her dogs, but also more than 100 horses.
Joseph said the Queen ’ s daughter, Princess Anne, and Anne ’ s daughter, Princess Zara Phillips, were both Olympic equestrians and well-known horse lovers and were likely involved in what happened next to the Queen ’ s animals.
Queen Elizabeth walked twice a day, and the dogs even had their own room at Buckingham Palace, the Corky Room, where they were cared for by two servants called Puppy 1 and Puppy 2.
Queen Elizabeth announced in 2015 that she would no longer breed the puppy because she was too old and worried that her dog would be left uncared for after her death, leaving three dogs in the royal family: Muick, a 13-year-old dog Candy and a puppy to replace Fergus, a dog who died in 2021.
Queen Elizabeth began to love dogs from the age of 7, and since she received her first dog, Susan, at the age of 18, she has continued to cultivate the royal Corgi, and has been with her dogs for more than 80 years.
In 2015, the Queen announced that she would stop breeding the royal Corgi puppies because she was worried that her dog would be left unattended and “did not want to leave any of the dogs alone. ” However, the Queen adopted the late employee ’ s 9-year-old Corgi dog, Whsiper, who died in 2018, as her pet dog loved each other for about three years.
The Queen has not been accompanied by a Corgi for three years until the death of her husband Prince Philip in 2021, when Prince Andrew gave the Queen two puppies, Fergus and Muick, hoping to accompany her through the sad times of losing her husband's company.
One of the puppies, Fergus, died at the age of 5 months due to a heart defect, leaving the Queen in deep sorrow.
The royal family left three dogs, the oldest of which was Candy, a dachshund and two other dogs, at the age of 13.

The corgi’s visibility soared thanks to their frequent appearances alongside Her Majesty—in iconic photographs, official portraits, and even media events like the Olympic Games’ opening ceremony, where they shared the spotlight with famous figures such as James Bond.

This legacy continues to make corgis especially appealing as pets with a unique, royal pedigree.
