Buckingham Palace confirms plan for late Queen’s corgis after Andrew stripped of title
Buckingham Palace, the late Queen Elizabeth II. He confirmed that Elizabeth’s beloved corgis Muick and Sandy will remain in the care of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson.
The couple adopted the dogs following the monarch’s death and housed them at the Royal Lodge. Speculation about the future of the two dogs had increased after the couple left their Windsor address, but it has now been reassured that their care will continue.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “The corgis will remain with the family.”
However, it was not clear whether it would be Andrew, Sarah or Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice who would give them a home.
Earlier this year, Sarah claimed the late Queen communicated with her through dogs barking.
According to The Times newspaper, in her speech to the Creative Women’s Platform in London, she said: “He has dogs, I have corgis. Every morning they come in and say ‘woof woof’ and so on, and I’m sure he’s the one talking to me.”
“I’m sure it’s him, it reminds me he’s still around.”
And in 2023, Sarah told how one of the Corgis, Muick, was upset after the late Queen’s death.
Speaking to Graeme Hall, presenter of Channel 5’s Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly, Sarah said Muick’s Queen Elizabeth II He said it took him about a year to come to terms with Elizabeth’s death.
He said: “Two corgis came over, big Muick and Sandy, and there were five Norfolk terriers there too – seven in all.
“And the big Muick is very, very, very flamboyant, he had his tail down in the beginning and now, a year later… he’s really starting to have fun now.”
The late Queen owned more than 30 corgis during her lifetime, most of whom were direct descendants of Susan and were given to her by her parents as an 18th birthday present in 1944.
The then-Princess Elizabeth formed such a strong bond with Susan that the dog accompanied her on their honeymoon.
