The corgis of Queen Elizabeth are doing well! Sarah Ferguson said in a recent interview that the late monarch’s dogs, Muick and Sandy, whom she and Prince Andrew gave to the late Queen, are adapting to life with her, her ex-husband, and their pets.
“They all balance out, the carpet moves as I move but I’ve got used to it now,” Ferguson said about the corgis joining her five terriers at the Royal Lodge Windsor.
The duchess said that having the “national treasures” alongside her and the Duke of York was a “big honor.”
Sandy and Muick were given to Her Majesty by the duchess and duke during the pandemic, while Prince Philip was in the hospital, prior to his death in April 2021.
On September 8, Queen Elizabeth died at the age of 96. Reports said the dogs were by her side during her final hours of life.
“Queen Elizabeth’s beloved corgis were with her in her final hours in her room at Balmoral,” a source said. Adding that the pair “were there to comfort the queen.” S
The dogs were seen with two handlers who held on to their leashes and occasionally rested until the queen’s coffin arrived for the final section of the ritual.
Prince William told mourners shortly after her death that the queen’s favourite pets were doing well and in excellent care. “I saw them the other day, that got me quite sad,” the Prince of Wales told a mourner after she asked about the status of the queen’s dogs. “They are going to be looked after fine.”
“They are two very friendly corgis, so they’ve got a good home. ” the 40-year-old prince remarked.
They’ll be looked after very well. Spoiled rotten, I’m sure.”
