Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday at 96, and left behind her beloved pet dogs. The Duke and Duchess of York will reportedly take care of the animals in England.
Andrew then gifted his mother a corgi named Sandy for her 95th birthday.
"One of the intriguing things people are wondering about at the funeral is whether a corgi is going to be present," said Robert Lacey, royal historian and author of"Majesty: Elizabeth II and the House of Windsor.″"The queen’s best friends were corgis, these short-legged, ill tempered beasts with a yap that doesn’t appeal to many people in Britain, but was absolutely crucial to the Queen.
While Elizabeth chose their names, walked and fed the dogs, and when they died, she buried them with individual plaques, most of their care was trusted to her assistant, Angela Kelly, and page, Paul Whybrew. After the death of her corgi Willow in 2018, it was reported that the queen would not be getting any more dogs.
