The death of Queen Elizabeth II raises many questions that now need to be answered. Including this one: What will become of your two corgis now? But don’t worry, the cow – or rather the dogs – are from the ice. Muick and Sandy have a new master and mistress.
Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will look after the Queen’s corgis after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. According to The Guardian, this has been confirmed by a spokesman for the Duke of York. Even before that, it was considered the most likely solution that the 62-year-old would take care of the two dogs. After all, he and his family once gave the four-legged friends to the Queen.
In 2021, Prince Andrew gave his mother the Corgi Muick and the “Dorgi” Fergus – a mix of Corgi and Dachshund. But Fergus died of a heart defect at just five months old. So another Corgi named Sandy took his place, this time being a gift from Andrew’s daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, for the Queen’s 95th birthday.
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson aka “Fergie” have been divorced since 1996. However, they remain close friends and live together at the Royal Lodge in Windsor. Ferguson is also said to have stayed connected with the Queen.
Prince Andrew stepped down from his public duties for the royal family in May 2020. The reason for this was his involvement in the scandal surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of having made himself guilty of sexual abuse. However, Elizabeth II avoided a complete break with her son.
The Queen’s great love for Corgis was well known. She is said to have once said that “my corgis are family”. Over the course of her life, she has owned more than 30 of the dogs, mostly descended from her first corgi lady, Susan. The bitch was given to her for her 18th birthday.
