Find out who Queen Elizabeth II’s dogs stay with

Shorty, with short legs and upturned ears: corgis were a symbol of Elizabeth II during her long reign. Passionate about dogs, especially those of this breed, the animals were a constant companion since the monarch’s childhood.

“She loved animals and she loved dogs. She has always loved them, they were her first love and they will be her last,” British royal biographer Ingrid Seward tells Newsweek.

“She loved animals and she loved dogs. She has always loved them, they were her first love and they will be her last,” British royal biographer Ingrid Seward tells Newsweek.

Royal family experts point out that the Queen had more than 30 corgis during her reign, many of them descended from Susan – a female corgi that Elizabeth II received as a birthday present when she turned 18 in 1944. dog was so strong that after her marriage to Phillip, she took Susan hidden in the royal carriage.

“Sue”, as she was nicknamed, lived until 1959. In addition to winning the heart of Elizabeth II, she generated a long line of “heirs”, which reached the 14th generation:

However, so far it is not known for sure how many pets the monarch kept before she passed away on Thursday (8). According to Newsweek, the number would reach four: two corgis – Muick and Sandy – a dorgi (corgi-dachsund cross) named Candy, and Lissy, a cocker spaniel.

Although a plan has not been officially released on who will care for these dogs, Ingrid Seward admits that the animals will be given to the monarch’s children.

Also according to the magazine, the dogs should be under the care of the family. “Probably Andrew, [já que] he offered them, they are very young, the corgi and the dorgi,” he told the publication.

Biographer Penny Junor suggests that the dogs can be taken care of by the queen’s team – and that was already an integral part of her care.

“Caring for the dogs sometimes falls to the servants, but mostly to the queen’s trusted seamstress and assistant, Angela Kelly; and to Paul Whybrew, the right-hand man who was seen walking with the queen and the dogs in the James Bond parody,” the author wrote in 2018, in the book All The Queen’s Corgis.

“They both like dogs, have access to the queen and say they are very close to her,” concludes Penny Junor.
