The Queen's love for Corgis started in 1933 when she was given her first Corgi, Susan, by her father, King George VI.

The Queen's fondness for Corgis was evident throughout her reign, with over 30 Corgis living with her at Buckingham Palace.

The Queen's Corgis were direct descendants of Susan, who became the foundation of the royal family's Corgi lineage.

The Queen's affection for Corgis was so great that she even created a new breed, the Dorgi, by crossing Corgis with Dachshunds.

Corgis were not only beloved pets but also held a special place in the royal family, with the Queen declaring "My corgis are family".

The Queen's Corgis were known to accompany her on various occasions, including coronation ceremonies, weddings, and even her honeymoon.

The royal family's love for Corgis has been passed down through generations, with Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson taking in two of the Queen's Corgis, Muick and Sandy, after her death.

The Queen's Corgis were treated like royalty, with their own rooms, chef-prepared meals, and even individual bedrooms with fresh bedding.

The Corgis' popularity soared after Queen Elizabeth's death, with Pembroke Welsh Corgis hitting a 30-year registration peak.

The Queen's affection for Corgis played a significant role in popularizing the breed globally, making them an unofficial symbol of Britain.

Corgis have been used for centuries as herding dogs, originating around 800AD, and their intelligence, adaptability, and low-to-the-ground stature made them ideal for herding livestock.

The Queen's love for Corgis was so profound that she stopped breeding them in 2015 due to concerns about their care and to avoid orphaning them in her old age.

The royal family's connection to Corgis has been a long-standing one, with the breed being a part of the family for nearly a century.

The Queen's Corgis were a beloved part of British culture, appearing in the 2012 London Olympics opening video and even having their own special role in the Queen's committal service.

The Queen's passing marked the end of an era for the royal Corgis, with her last Corgi, Willow, having passed away in 2018, and the lineage of Susan's descendants coming to an end.

The Queen's love for Corgis has been well-documented, with her having 14 generations of royal Corgis, all descended from the same line.

The Corgis were an integral part of the Queen's life, providing comfort and companionship, especially during difficult times.

The Queen's Corgis were known to be spoilt, but she trained them well, using dog biscuits to command them.

The royal connection to Corgis has been depicted in various forms of media, including a book called "Where's our mistress?" which tells the story of a Corgi's emotions after the Queen's death.

The Queen's love for Corgis has been passed down through generations, with Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson co-caring for the Queen's Corgis.

The Corgis will always be remembered as an integral part of the royal family's history and legacy, and their story will continue to inspire and delight people of all ages.

The Queen's Corgis were a symbol of her love and devotion, and they will always be remembered as a beloved part of her life.

The royal family's love for Corgis has been shared with the public through various means, including photos and stories about their daily life.

The Queen's Corgis were so beloved that they appeared in the 2012 London Olympics opening video, and they even had their own menu with meat, rice, and vegetables.

The Corgis were a central part of the Queen's life, with her stopping to breed them in 2015 due to concerns about their care, and eventually stopping to keep them in her 90s to avoid leaving them orphaned.

The heartwarming and entertaining anecdotes about the daily life of Corgis in the royal family could be adapted into a children's animated film, showcasing the special bond between the Queen and her beloved Corgis.

The film could include stories about the Corgis' daily routines, their favorite activities, and their interactions with the royal family members, such as Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

The Corgis' unique personalities and quirks could also be explored, making the story more relatable and endearing to a children's audience.

The royal Corgis' love for gourmet meals, special treats, and comfortable living arrangements could also be used to create an entertaining and engaging storyline.

The historical relationship between the British Royal Family and Corgis offers a rich and fascinating topic for storytelling, with numerous potential plot points and storylines that could be developed into engaging and relatable content for a children's audience.

The Queen's love for Corgis started in 1933 when she was given her first Corgi, Susan, by her father, King George VI.

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 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.

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.

Queen Elizabeth's father, King George, raised a Welsh Corgi dog, Dookie, when she was seven years old, and the Queen has a special affection for Corgi, although she has never revealed why she likes Corgi, although some members of the Royal Family have said that the Queen particularly likes their vitality.
In 1944, on the Queen ’ s 18th birthday, she received a Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy named “Susan ”, which became the most important dog companion in the Queen ’ s life, and even accompanied her to coronation ceremonies, weddings, and even her honeymoon with Prince Philip.
"Susan" became the dog mother of the Buckingham Palace Corgi family, a total of 14 generations of children, in 2015, the 89-year-old Queen Elizabeth announced the cessation of Corgi breeding, on the one hand, considering that she is old, may be injured by pet puppies, on the other hand, she is also worried that after her death, the puppy is not taken care of.
After the Queen ’ s death, the royal family also had three dogs: Muick, a 13-year-old Dorji dog, Candy, and a puppy to replace Fergus, who died last year.

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.

The Queen's Corgis were known to accompany her on various occasions, including coronation ceremonies, weddings, and even her honeymoon.

The royal family's love for Corgis has been passed down through generations, with Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson taking in two of the Queen's Corgis, Muick and Sandy, after her death.

SNAFFLING down a rabbit freshly caught by Prince Harry or Prince William, it’s not their wives or family but the Queen’s corgis.

The pampered pooches are probably the best-fed pets in Britain with each of their gourmet meals being prepared by the same chef that does Her Majesty’s food.

Each offering sees them given meat, rice and a selection of vegetables to ensure their digestion is perfect.

Former palace chef Darren McGrady told The Sun: “The animals really do get spoilt. The corgis when I was there even had their own menu

“[There was] chicken, liver, beef, rabbit. Prince William and Harry used to go shooting rabbits in the great park and those rabbits would then be sent to Windsor and we’d have to clean them, draw them and poach them.

“If beef is on the menu, the beef comes in from the local butcher. Then it’s boiled, no salt, no seasoning, it’s just the plain beef and it’s boiled away until it’s really tender and then it goes into the larder kitchen to cool down.”

Every meal is prepared with fresh ingredients every single day.

He added: “There’s always a bowl of rice because sometimes the dogs need a little help and there’s cabbage for the other way. That has to be prepared every day in the same kitchen the Royal Family’s nosh is prepped.

“You’re going to start by cutting it into a brunoise, which is an eighth of an inch die, a really fine dice, but when you’re doing things like rabbit and chicken, you’ve got to make sure you chop it really fine because imagine if there were bones in there that got stuck in the corgi’s throat. The royal chef’s off to the tower, I mean seriously.”

Once footmen delivered the food to the dog bowls, the Queen would stir it all together before putting it down for her canines to enjoy.

Mr McGrady also claimed that for a special treat, Her Majesty would also crumble scones on to the carpet during afternoon tea for the pups to enjoy.

While the sweet snack isn’t a usual treat for dogs it went down well with corgi breeder Kevin Dover’s seven pups.

The 64-year-old, from Ross-on-Wye on Herefordshire, has also met the Queen after the palace decided to breed from one of his dogs.

He said: “The knowledge that she possessed about the breed and bloodlines, it was like talking to somebody that you meet at the dog shows every week.”

The corgi's luxurious treatment doesn't end there as they are even treated to individual bedrooms and fresh bedding.

A source of comfort

The Sun's Royal Correspondent Matt Wilkinson said: "They have their own bedrooms, their own wicker baskets to sleep. It's also said that they also have fresh sheets to sleep with.

"It's the treatment they have because they have the Queen as their owner. They travel in luxury, they live in castles and palaces, and they also get to often meet very important people."

The Queen's first corgi of her own was Susan, who was given to her when she turned 18 and until this year, all of her other pups have been bred from Susan.

Currently, she owns Muick who was a present from Prince Andrew following the death of her husband Prince Philip.

The pets have provided a source of comfort during the incredibly difficult grieving period for the monarch.

Mr Wilkinson added: “We know that on the day Prince Phillip died she was actually out with her corgis in the gardens and also after the funeral she was out with the corgis. They are a very important part of her life.”

The Corgis' popularity soared after Queen Elizabeth's death, with Pembroke Welsh Corgis hitting a 30-year registration peak.

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.

Corgis bred for herding livestock long before Queen Elizabeth II made them famous

By Sophie Johnson
Posted

While corgis are synonymous with the late Queen Elizabeth II, it might be a surprise to know the tiny breed is still used as a working dog in Australia.

The Queen had 30 corgis as pets over her lifetime, giving the breed its international recognition.

But the dog has been used for centuries to herd livestock.

Jean Milnes herds south of Adelaide with her female corgi, Tirion.

"[Corgis] have been herding since the Middle Ages at least, there is documentary evidence of them herding back in about 800AD," she said.

"I just got into it because I thought this would be fun to do to see if she could remember what her ancestors used to do."

Exercising instincts

There are few corgi herders in Australia now, but Ms Milne is hoping the popularity will boom after the death of the Queen, returning the breed to its farming roots.

"I still have the conversation with people who think corgis are wonderful, associate them with being the Queen's dog, and don't realise that they actually have a job to do," Ms Milnes said.

"There is ... going to be an influx of people wanting corgis for the next year or so, and it would be nice if they did something more than just go to the dog park."

Her corgi trains for herding competitions.

"We should be doing things that … dogs enjoy as well," she said.

"They need to be given the opportunity to achieve things.

"I think it is very important in any breed to maintain what they were intended to do."

Big brain, little legs

National Welsh Corgi Council secretary Sadie Podger said the dogs were very intelligent, which was needed when herding animals.

"Years ago … the farmers found that these dogs are actually quite smart and adapt to their conditions that they're in and found that they were the better of all the cattle type dogs that they had," she said.

Ms Podger said corgis were known as herd heelers because they could nip the rear legs of livestock to guide and direct the animal.

"When they herd they can roll from one side … of the cattle to the other side with that, and then sort of directing the cattle to where they want it, because cattle can be quite stubborn."

"They're low to the ground so they can drop their head a little bit, and basically the hoof goes over the top of their head where a taller dog could get hit in the head."

The Queen's love for Corgis was so profound that she stopped breeding them in 2015 due to concerns about their care and to avoid orphaning them in her old age.

The royal family's connection to Corgis has been a long-standing one, with the breed being a part of the family for nearly a century.

The Queen of England has raised more than 30 dogs for her loyal Corgi fans who have appeared in the Olympic Games and 007 in the same frame [shadow]

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.

40 years ago, the Queen visited the United States in a storm: Bringing the British rain tradition to California

The Queen's Corgis were a beloved part of British culture, appearing in the 2012 London Olympics opening video and even having their own special role in the Queen's committal service.

The Queen's passing marked the end of an era for the royal Corgis, with her last Corgi, Willow, having passed away in 2018, and the lineage of Susan's descendants coming to an end.

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.

The Queen's love for Corgis has been well-documented, with her having 14 generations of royal Corgis, all descended from the same line.

The queen received her first corgi, Susan, as an 18th birthday present, and her 14 generations of royal corgis since then have all descended from the same line. Sadly, Susan’s very last descendant, Willow, recently passed away, marking the end of era for the royal family. However, the queen will forever be associated with the distinctive breed.

‘I love writing for children’: Emma Thompson and Axel Scheffler on their amazing shaggy dog story

The Oscar-winning actor and the Gruffalo illustrator have teamed up to create a tale about a scruffy hound. They discuss corgis, comic books and how their friendship began

Axel Scheffler was an unknown illustrator, working largely for Good Housekeeping magazine, when he received a letter in response to a small exhibition of his work. It was from Emma Thompson, a young actor who had begun to attract attention with TV series such as Fortunes of War and Tutti Frutti. Neatly written in fountain pen, it inquired whether he would accept a commission. “Ken Branagh, my chap, runs his own theatre company,” it explained. He was playing Hamlet to her sister Sophie’s Ophelia and she wanted something to commemorate a moment in time. “I have a vague notion of what you charge for your work, which doesn’t seem to me to be enough,” it went on. “I enclose a picture of Ken and Sophie in case it’s of use.”

Scheffler still has the letter and has brought it along 34 years later to an interview to mark their first literary collaboration, on a children’s picture book, Jim’s Spectacular Christmas. “That’s amazing,” says Thompson of the letter, which predates her six-year marriage to Branagh and was written from the flat they shared in 1988. Then she trumps it, by announcing that she still has the envelope in which Scheffler sent the two pictures. It was decorated with a picture of Hamlet sitting on a skull “looking really depressed” and it sits framed above a loo in her home to this day.

So began a correspondence that continued over the years with requests to Scheffler to design letterheads for both Thompson and her actor mother, Phyllida Law. Though they never actually met in person, they exchanged gifts on the birth of their first children; hers to him was a food hamper; his to her was a picture of a pig wheeling a pram. A pig? Yes, she explains, a pig is her letterhead emblem. When she later became a dame he drew her a picture of a pig wearing a dame badge. “So, without ever meeting, Axel has been part of the illustration of my la-i-ife.” She draws the vowel out into a camp diphthong as part of a running joke with Scheffler as to which of them will seem most exciting to the children for whom their new book is intended: the actor who starred as Nanny McPhee and now as Mrs Trunchbull in the film of Matilda the Musical or the illustrator of the mega-selling Gruffalo books.

We’re sitting in a grand upstairs room at the V&A museum, having skittered along corridors, through porticos and galleries just like the protagonist of their book. He’s a small scruff of a dog named Jim, with a “gamey whiff” and a “rheumy eye”. He’s based on a terrier that was, in real life, the faithful companion of the V&A’s founder and first director, Sir Henry Cole, who left a handy sketch of him and commemorated him with a plaque in the museum. In Thompson’s telling, Jim is rescued from life as a canine chimney brush after tumbling down a flue in a cloud of soot into a gathering of museum worthies. From that inglorious beginning he goes on to become part of the 19th-century invention of Christmas, presenting Queen Victoria with the world’s first commercial Christmas card.

The card, drawn to Cole’s design by his artist friend John Horsley, still exists and copying it has given Scheffler an unprecedented opportunity to depict a child drinking wine: “That’s really not allowed in children’s books,” he points out. Other historical details include the small printing press on which the cards were produced for Cole, an innovator who was also instrumental in introducing the world’s first postage stamp, the penny black. Humorously told and drawn though it is, this is a history book as well as a shaggy dog story – a delicate balancing act that became clear when it came to the portrayal of Queen Victoria, whose chest is being dabbed by her solicitous husband, Albert, to rid it of a tea stain when Jim catches his first glimpse of the royal family. “I thought she was still very young but you describe her as round, so I made her a little bit more – well – round,” says Scheffler.

Thompson, who has always taken her historical research seriously, points out that Victoria would indeed have still been young by 21st-century standards – she was only 42 when Prince Albert died and he is still very much alive in the story – but by that time she was somewhat altered by having given birth to nine children in 17 years. Underpinning Jim’s story is the bigger history of the creation of Albertopolis, the west London museum quarter that was dreamed up by the prince as part of a vision of culture for the masses and is now the home to the Science and National History museums as well as the V&A. “When you start reading about Albert you realise what an incredible bloke he was,” says Thompson. “He was so much more cultured and sophisticated really than our lot are. It was a great tragedy that he died so young, because I think he would have made lots of changes.”

Royal corgis do not come out of it so well: Thompson depicts a stoutly entitled one chasing poor Jim out of the palace. “I just feel as though the corgis might be a bit spoilt,” she says. “But I think actually it’s very likely that the Queen [Elizabeth] was quite fierce with them and that they were very well trained.” This isn’t entirely a matter of conjecture. “I did actually see her do this once. She opened her handbag, in which she had an unwrapped dog biscuit, and when she drew three circles over the head of three corgis they all rolled over. It was like a circus trick, but the thing I really loved was that she had an unwrapped dog biscuit in her handbag. I thought, well, that’s got to make your hankie smell a bit.” This prompts a bit of banter between the duo as to what else she might have kept in her omnipresent bag: carrots for the royal horses, perhaps.

Thompson writes like she talks: irreverent, refreshingly un-grand and with a comic timing that is accentuated in the book by Scheffler’s deployment of mini-tableaux: Jim having a bath, reading a book or slurping up a bowl of custard. The actor was an early connoisseur of comic-book humour, who once wrote a fan letter to the creators of Asterix and received the reply that they were delighted to have made a small English girl laugh. Scheffler, growing up in Germany at around the same time, was a devotee of a comic-strip bear called Petzi, by the Danish husband and wife team Vilhelm and Carla Hansen.

It was Thompson who brought Scheffler in on Jim’s Spectacular Christmas, having already written the story, complete with character sketches, and folded them up into a little book. Though an award-winning screenwriter, she had no ambition to diversify into picture books, she says. But she agreed to this one because it was pitched to her as an invitation from Henry Cole himself, just as the three Peter Rabbit books she has previously written were pitched as invitations from Peter: “There’s still a little bit of me that thinks it was Peter Rabbit himself who asked me,” she says. “I love writing for children. I think it’s perhaps a legacy from dad.” Her sister, Sophie, also now writes books for children. Their father, Eric Thompson, presented the children’s TV programme Play School and went on to create and narrate The Magic Roundabout.

The question is not if, but when, Thompson and Scheffler will collaborate again – they circle around the idea during the interview as if neither can quite believe that the other would actually stoop to it. When time’s up we’re ushered out along the corridors to a staircase that museum staff have identified as the exact one that Scheffler has depicted, where an excited gaggle of east London schoolchildren awaits.

Settling herself on the steps in their midst, beside a large cardboard cut-out of Jim, Thompson asks who has heard of the Gruffalo and a rafter-rattling cheer goes up. Scheffler lurks in the shadows as she starts to read from the book. “Now what,” she asks, “do you think ‘a gamey whiff’ means?”

Jim’s Spectacular Christmas, written by Emma Thompson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, is published by Puffin (£14.99). To support the Guardian and Observer order your copy at guardianbookshop.com. Delivery charges may apply

The royal connection to Corgis has been depicted in various forms of media, including a book called "Where's our mistress?" which tells the story of a Corgi's emotions after the Queen's death.

In Britain will release a book written on behalf of the beloved dogs of Queen Elizabeth II
The book will be written by a descendant of the author of a similar book, written on behalf of the fox terrier King Edward VII.

In the UK, an original book is being prepared for publication, written on behalf of the beloved corgis of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
This is reported by the Daily Mail.
It's kind of a tradition.
After all, in 1910, a book called “Where is the Master? ” was published, allegedly written by a 12-year-old fox terrier of the late King Edward VII, nicknamed Caesar.
Its author was Ernest Hodder-Williams, and he ran one of the most powerful publishing houses in Edwardian England, Hodder & Stoughton.
He attended the king's funeral and, impressed by the sight of sad Caesar yearning for his master king, he wrote a short work to please his wife Ethel.
It took a little time: at the funeral of King Edward, the publisher caught a cold and wrote, observing bed rest.
The name was suggested to him by his wife, she liked to say: "Where is the owner?" to their own dog.
When Ernest recovered, he printed only four copies of "Where's the Master?"
He gave one to his wife, who was very moved, two to his friends, and a fourth to Buckingham Palace with a note that it was intended for the widow of the king, Queen Alexandra.
Ernest received an unexpected response.
In the palace, he was asked to disclose his sources, the gardener from Sandringham was suspected of leaking information, but Ernest insisted that he wrote the book himself.
However, the book "Where is the Master?" had many interesting details, including memories of a trip to Biarritz, when Caesar attacked the French poodle, and his master king affectionately reproached him, saying, "What a typical Englishman you are, Caesar.
You can ’ t help but meet a foreigner, not to bark at him and not to walk with such an important view that the whole world exists only for you. ”
Friends of the publisher, after reading the book, appreciated both its subtle humor and the ironic style of the narrative and the fact that it was written on behalf of a dog.
So they called on Ernest to expand the circulation.
He printed another 500 copies, which were sold almost overnight.
By Christmas 1910, "Where's the Host?" had been reprinted 15 times, selling over 150,000 copies.
Buckingham Palace eventually resigned itself to the popularity of the book and the publisher received a letter from the personal secretary of Queen Alexandra Charlotte Nollis, in which she thanked him for stimulating public interest and assured that he reproduced with amazing accuracy the grief of the fox terrier Caesar.
On his return to Sandringham (the late king ’ s favorite residence), the little fox terrier really roamed the big house in desperate search of his master king.
It is said that after the death of King Edward VII, his longtime mistress Alice Keppel (great-grandmother of Camilla, Queen Consort) asked Queen Alexandra what would become of Caesar.
And the queen, though not too fond of the fox terrier, left him in the palace and he until his death in 1914 wore a collar with the inscription: "I am Caesar.
I belong to the King. "
His figurine, ordered by Edward to jewelers from the Faberge, is still in the Royal Collection.
The new book, entitled "Where is the mistress?", was written by a descendant of Ernest Hodder-Williams, Jamie Hodder-Williams.
The story is conducted on behalf of the beloved corgi of Queen Elizabeth nicknamed Muick.
It was presented to his mother by Prince Andrew after the death of Prince Philip, and she named it after the lake Loch Muick near the beloved residence of Balmoral.
Now Muick with his friend named Sandy lives in the estate of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
It is already known that in a book telling about the emotions of a dog whose mistress died, there are lines: "Where is she?
I've been looking for forever, and I can't find her anywhere.
She doesn ’ t read in the library, she doesn ’ t sit at the table, and she doesn ’ t rest on the soft green couch that we usually share in the afternoon when we ’ re both tired. ”
Jamie Hodder-Williams believes that the story of Muick will resonate with dog lovers around the world.
And given the fact that the rights in the US have already been sold to HarperCollins, there are first signs that the book, written on behalf of the beloved Corgi of Queen Elizabeth, will become a bestseller.
Recall that during the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, the staff of the palace brought Corgi Sandy and Muick to say goodbye to their mistress.
The photo of two dogs standing near the road on which the hearse rode touched the fans of the late monarch all over the world.

The Queen's love for Corgis has been passed down through generations, with Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson co-caring for the Queen's Corgis.

The Corgis will always be remembered as an integral part of the royal family's history and legacy, and their story will continue to inspire and delight people of all ages.

The Queen's Corgis were a symbol of her love and devotion, and they will always be remembered as a beloved part of her life.

Mourning corgis, an iconic salute: What you missed from the Queen’s funeral

By Julia Naughton

Queen Elizabeth II’s final farewell stretched for more than 12 hours with two separate services taking place before she was laid to rest in a private burial at Windsor.

In an event unlike anything ever witnessed in modern history, the day was replete with pageantry and symbolism bringing closure to the monarch’s 70-year reign.

Here’s what you may have missed.

A moving handwritten note

As the Queen’s coffin processed through Westminster Abbey followed by the King, the Prince and Princess of Wales, their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and other royal family members, a handwritten note could be seen atop the wreath of flowers.

The black handwriting read: “In loving and devoted memory, Charles R.” Charles R is Charles Rex, the King’s new signature. Rex is Latin for king. The note was edged in black, which follows the mourning rituals of the royal family.

The card is reminiscent of the note left by Princes William and Harry on the coffin of their mother, Diana, in 1997. It read simply: “Mummy.”

Pearls, pearls, pearls

In a tribute to the late Queen, the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex accessorised with pearl jewellery. Pearls are traditionally worn by royals in mourning because of their quiet elegance.

Catherine’s Bahrain pearl drop earrings and four-strand pearl and diamond choker were borrowed from the Queen’s jewellery collection, reports British Vogue.

She previously wore the necklace to the Queen and Prince Philip’s diamond wedding anniversary in 2017 and to the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh in April 2021. In 1982, Princess Diana also borrowed the piece.

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex’s pearl earrings were a gift from the Queen after her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.

A spectacular salute

As the procession moved past the Cenotaph in London, King Charles III and his elder son, the Prince of Wales, saluted the UK’s national war memorial – a moment that’s sure to become an iconic image of the day.

In another poignant family moment earlier in the day, Prince George and Princess Charlotte followed the Queen’s coffin alongside their parents and other members of the royal family as it was processed through Westminster Abbey.

The Long Walk like you’ve never seen it

As the hearse made its final journey to Windsor Castle for the committal service at St George’s Chapel, crowds of people filled the Long Walk for as far as the eye could see.

Also watching from afar was the Queen’s favourite pony, Emma. Pipes and drums sounded as the late monarch approached her final resting place.

The loyalest of subjects say goodbye

When the procession arrived in the quadrangle at Windsor, two of the Queen’s corgis, Sandy and Muick, were waiting to say their final goodbye.

After the Queen’s death, it was announced that Sarah, Duchess of York and Prince Andrew would adopt the dogs and live with them at Royal Lodge.

The royal family's love for Corgis has been shared with the public through various means, including photos and stories about their daily life.

The Queen's Corgis were so beloved that they appeared in the 2012 London Olympics opening video, and they even had their own menu with meat, rice, and vegetables.

The Corgis were a central part of the Queen's life, with her stopping to breed them in 2015 due to concerns about their care, and eventually stopping to keep them in her 90s to avoid leaving them orphaned.

The heartwarming and entertaining anecdotes about the daily life of Corgis in the royal family could be adapted into a children's animated film, showcasing the special bond between the Queen and her beloved Corgis.

"Royal Corgi": Review of the Movie poster
Ksenia Reutova about the cartoon, which forgot to make children 's
For the first few minutes, the characters of the “Royal Corgi ” do not say a word – and these are the best minutes of the film.
The childhood of the protagonist really does not need dialogue.
Prince Philip gives his wife a charming puppy of her favorite breed.
Queen Elizabeth is delighted.
And although three adult dogs already live in the palace, the newcomer quickly becomes the mistress ’ favorite.
He shamelessly enjoys a privileged position: a hooligan, leaves his marks in the wrong places, mocks the servants and rips slippers on the British flag.
A few months later, Prince Philip discovers that the nightstand, once filled with family photos, no longer has his joint portraits with Elizabeth - only the portraits of the corgi remain.
Things are not going so smoothly.
The laws of modern commercial animation require that the characters speak, so immediately after the credits, the grown-up Rex ’ s voice cuts through.
It turns out that brought up at the court of the Corgi turned into a brazen and arrogant proud man.
He calls himself “Her Majesty ’ s first dog ” and collects mugs and T-shirts with his image.
Of course, fate will teach him a lesson.
As a result of the betrayal by one of the inhabitants of the palace, Rex will be on the street, and from there he will get to a dog shelter, where he will find real friends and great love.
Vulgarity is the last thing you can expect from a family movie about blue bloods, but it is the word that perfectly characterizes many episodes of the “Royal Corgi ”.
Before the British monarchy, the authors, however, are quite sincerely reverent and do not dare to touch it: the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh appear slightly grumpy and absent-minded, but generally cute and charming old men.
But when the frame appears American President Donald, a master of inappropriate wittiness and a lover of selfies, the creators of the picture give vent to the most daring fantasies.
The leader of the United States also turns out to be a connoisseur of corgi and tries to match Rex with his pet Mitzi.
In the original, he makes it a command of "Grab some puppy" - an obvious reference to the scandalous "Grab them by the pussy".
Donald ’ s dog, adopted the most disgusting habits of the owner, brazenly harassit a British relative.
There is a remark about sympathies for “thoroughbred males ”, which are allegedly adored by“ all girls ”.
How much this will appeal to young children, far from geopolitical battles, is a big question.
Even when the American president leaves home, the jokes for the parents continue.
The Rex shelter is surrounded not only by dogs of other breeds, but also by a variety of allusions to the world cinema and animation classics.
Here ’ s Rocky ’ s training, here ’ s Shrek ’ s cat ’ s eyes, here ’ s the secret dog fight club, and here ’ s the comparison with Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games.
The beloved of the hero Wanda and did get into the picture straight from the Disney masterpiece “Lady and the Tramp ”.
Carried away by content for adults, the authors completely forget that the film moms and dads actually come not alone.
The younger audience of the "Royal Corgi" from their side gets much less attention.
For children, there is a cute hairy muzzle of the main character (at the same time, which is characteristic, the rest of the court corgis look far from handsome), a couple of optional and completely unmemorable songs (yes, imagine, they also sing here!) and several really funny gags.
The process of turning Rex from an arrogant impudent to a team player and a real leader - and this is exactly what the script promises at first - is completely undisclosed: the character simply and without any explanation in the middle of the film changes behavior.
The most offensive thing is that scenes without words, from jogging in the drum of the washing machine to flying on fire hoses, are invariably good: the animators did their part of the work in good faith, but the screenwriters for some reason were lazy.
It seems that it was not necessary to re-educate a dog here at all.

The film could include stories about the Corgis' daily routines, their favorite activities, and their interactions with the royal family members, such as Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

The Corgis' unique personalities and quirks could also be explored, making the story more relatable and endearing to a children's audience.

The royal Corgis' love for gourmet meals, special treats, and comfortable living arrangements could also be used to create an entertaining and engaging storyline.

The historical relationship between the British Royal Family and Corgis offers a rich and fascinating topic for storytelling, with numerous potential plot points and storylines that could be developed into engaging and relatable content for a children's audience.

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 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.
Mick and Sandy are now in the care of Prince Andrew.

Content: Are Lifetime’s The Dog Days of Christmas, Hallmark’s A Royal Corgi Christmas, and ION’s Dognapped: Hound for the Holidays barking up the right tree?

Christmas TV movie season has begun, and you've probably noticed that there will be more flicks than you can shake a stick at. (More than 155 at last count.)

Some folks will tune in to witness a charming B&B be saved, others to watch childhood rivals square off in a baking competition of some sort, and still others simply to get a glimpse of Lacey Chabert or Tamera Mowry-Housley or Candace Cameron Bure glowing under the mistletoe. And then there is a faction of festive fans out there who will be drawn to the fireplace-lit TV for one main reason: Canines.

The Christmas-movie genre has occasionally gone to the dogs, of course. (See: Beethoven's Christmas Adventure, The Dog Who Saved Christmas, Puppy Star Christmas, Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws, etc.) This year, at least three movies will center their candy-coated narrative on a pooch: Lifetime is set to unveil Dog Days of Christmas (Nov. 11), which features an unrelenting non-profit worker (Georgia Flood) who aims to find a home for several dogs in her hometown while saving an animal rescue shelter with a big-hearted veterinarian (Ezekiel Simat). The proceedings turn more regal in Hallmark Channel's A Royal Corgi Christmas (Dec. 12), in which a conflicted crown prince (Jordan Renzo) gifts his mother with an undisciplined corgi, who will require the help of a highly skilled trainer from America (Hunter King). And in ION TV's Dognapped: Hound for the Holidays (Nov. 24), a pooch owned by a selfish design maven is kidnapped, er, sorry, dognapped, sending her dedicated assistant (Sara Ball) on a most dangerous mission. (Because Tiny — seen below on the left — is missing for a good chunk of the film, expect a little less canine on the screen.)

What these movies lack in future Emmy nominations, they aim to make up for with festive underdog heart, shameless canine wordplay, and cutesy-mopey reaction shots. So, now you may be wondering: Which one of these furry flicks will most leave me in shock and awwwww? Let's ask a few important questions and determine who's barking up the right Christmas tree.
