They arrived in Windsor in early March, so gods two new corgi of Queen Elizabeth almost nothing was known, except the they gave back their smile after very hard days, while Prince Philip was in the hospital and the Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview bomb from Oprah Winfrey was going off. Now, however, as the waters seem to have finally calmed down, they arrive the first details on the sovereign’s two new dogs.
To reveal them is (once again) the Sun, who revealed their names: they are called Fergus e Muick. Two very important names, and full of meaning: “Both are very very dear to the queenA source inside the palace explained to the tabloid.
Fergus (Bowes-Lyon) was the name of the Queen Mother’s brother, an uncle to whom Elizabeth was very close: he died in France in 1915, in the battle of Loos during the First World War and was buried in a quarry, but ihis body was never found again. It was a great loss for the royal family, so much so that when the Queen Mother married – in 1923 – she placed her bouquet at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in Westminster Abbey, starting a tradition that continues today.
Muick, on the other hand, is one of the places that Elizabeth loves the most: it’s about Loch Muick, a lake on the estate of Balmoral, Scotland, where the queen and the royal family usually go for walks, picnics and fishing in the summer. It is located near the Glass-all-Shiel lodge, built by Queen Victoria after the death of Prince Albert. Muick is the name with which Elizabeth renamed Charlie, one of the two dogs, which he bought from a kennel for 2650 pounds (the provenance of Fergus, which to be exact is a dorgi – a cross between corgi and dachshund – is not clear for now).
So when she calls her little dogs – who keep company with Candy, the last dorgi descendant of Susan, the first dog her father gave her when she was 18 – the queen will remember good times and the people you love mostis. Perhaps also because of the name he eventually changed his mind. After the death of the corgi Vulcan Elisabetta – who in all had 30 corgi and dorgi – had made it known that she no longer wanted dogs around the house: too high the risk of tripping between their tails, and too great the pain at the thought of having to leave them alone, given his age (94 years). Luckily she changed her mind and now Fergus and Muick will give her an extra smile. In the gallery above some photos of the queen and her dogs
