London: David Knott, a renowned British war surgeon, had not long returned from Aleppo when he found himself invited to lunch at Buckingham Palace.
So much so that when Britain indulges in four days of celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee this week, the image of the corgi will play a central role. Corgi sculptures have been installed around the streets of central London while their images adorn commemorative ornaments, pillows, mugs and biscuits.On social media a specially designed emoji of a cheeky looking corgi, tongue out, smiling and wearing a purple and silver crown was released last week.
“She is an essentially shy woman, thrust into a public role at an early age that does not come naturally to her. Around her dogs she can be completely herself, sure in the knowledge that they love her for who she is, rather than what she is. That has made them her most trusted companions.” In 1955 Susan’s daughter, Sugar, was sent off to the legendary kennels of Thelma Gray to be mated with a handsome boy called Rebellion.
Given their own room at Buckingham Palace with wicker basket beds, they have never eaten out of shiny sterling silver dishes. They may be pampered, but their regal owner is nothing if not practical. “There is barely anyone else on the planet who could achieve that level of control over their dogs,” Mugford wrote.
