Queen Elizabeth’s death has raised concerns over who will care for her beloved dogs. Some think they will be sent to live with royal family members, while others say they might be given to palace staff.
People walk corgis along the Royal Mile, before the arrival of the hearse carrying the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II, in Edinburgh, Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022. Queen Elizabeth II’s flag-draped coffin is passing through the rugged Scottish countryside on a final journey from her beloved summer estate Balmoral Castle to London.Princess Diana once called them a “moving carpet” always by her mother-in-law’s side.
When she was 18 she was given another and named it Susan, the first in a long line of corgis to come. Later there were dorgis — a dachshund and corgi crossbreed — owned by the queen. Eventually they came to accompany her in public appearances, and became part of her persona. Three of them even appeared alongside the queen as she climbed into James Bond’s waiting helicopter in the spoof video that opened the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
She writes that Elizabeth walked and fed the dogs, chose their names and when they died, buried them with individual plaques. Care for the corgis had fallen largely on the queen’s trusted dressmaker and assistant Angela Kelly and her page Paul Whybrew.
