Prince Andrew And Sarah Ferguson To Take The Queen’s Corgis

Prince Andrew And Sarah Ferguson To Take The Queen’s Corgis

Queen Elizabeth II’s cherished corgis will be transferred to The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, after her passing.

The Queen passed away on Thursday at the age of 96 in Balmoral Castle, leaving behind two pets.

The animals, Muick and Sandy, will be adopted by Prince Andrew and Sarah, according to a representative of the royal family. The late monarch received both dogs as gifts from the prince.

The Queen, who had more than 30 corgis during her lifetime, was known to be a huge supporter of the breed.

Early in 2021, she received two additional puppies: a corgi and a dorgi, a cross between a corgi and a dachshund.

The monarch received the dogs as a present while she was residing in Windsor under lockdown in order to amuse her while the Duke of Edinburgh was in the hospital.

Additionally, they arrived as the royal family and Buckingham Palace were coping with shocking allegations made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that rocked the institution of monarchy.

The Queen gave the dorgi the name Fergus in honor of an uncle, Fergus Bowes-Lyon, her mother’s brother, who perished in World War I in 1915.

She gave the corgi the name Muick in honor of a favorite location she frequented close to Balmoral Castle, where she used to spend her summers.

The five-month-old Fergus’ passing just a few weeks after she gave him to her, just a few months after Prince Philip passed away in April 2021, left the late monarch heartbroken.

For her official 95th birthday, the Queen later replaced him with a new corgi puppy from Andrew and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who she called Sandy.

The puppies, according to her dresser Angela Kelly, were a continual source of happiness.

“The duchess bonded with Her Majesty via dog-walking and riding horses,” a source close to Prince Andrew reportedly told The Telegraph. “Even after her divorce, she would continue her strong connection with Her Majesty, by walking the dogs around Frogmore and conversing.”

After his father’s memorial ceremony in March of this year, Andrew made his first public appearance on Saturday.

The duke joined other members of the royal family, including his daughters, during a prayer service for the Queen held at Crathie Kirk close to Balmoral.

In a brief statement, he thanked everyone who had come to Balmoral and stated, “We’ve been permitted one day; now we start the process of handing [the Queen] on.”

“Nice to meet you, thanks for coming,” he continued.

Andrew made his appearance following the loss of his position as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards in January, along with other military positions and royal patronage.

He resigned from public life due to his association with convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein and after agreeing to pay millions of dollars to resolve Virginia Giuffre’s civil sexual assault lawsuit against him.

The duke has constantly asserted that he has never met Ms. Giuffre and firmly refutes any accusations made against him.

In order to avoid a civil trial, he and she came to a £10 million settlement in February that included compensation for Ms. Giuffre and a gift to a charitable organization.
