Ever since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, one of the most asked question is what will happen to The Queen’s dogs now that she’s dead.
It is great to know that the royal dogs are to be continuously cared for by joining the household of one of the Queen’s children, and according to prince Williams, the dogs are doing just fine.
The Queen was a major animal lover who owned numerous dogs throughout her life she's estimated to be the proud owner of more than 30 corgis over the course of her life. four of her dogs have succeeded her.
Queen Elizabeth's dogs are thought to be among her most consistent loves. "She loves animals and she absolutely adores dogs," Ingrid Seward, a royal biographer, told Newsweek. "They were her first love and they will be her last."
At the time of her death on Sept. 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II had four dogs.
The eldest of her dog is Candy, who is believed to be 13 years old. Candy is a corgi-dachshund mix, also known as a dorgi, per Harper's Bazaar.
It was previously revealed that the Queen was not intentionally adding more pups to her family because she "didn’t want to leave any young dog behind," she told a horse trainer in 2015, The Independent reported.
However, the Queen welcomed two more corgis to her royal family in recent years. When her husband Prince Philip was hospitalized in 2021, the Queen was gifted Muick, who is named after a spot near Balmoral Castle, one of Elizabeth's favorite summer retreats.
Prince Andrew and the Queen's granddaughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, gave her another corgi, Sandy, on what would have been Philip's 100th birthday last June, according to The Independent.
The Queen was also the proud owner of a prize-winning cocker spaniel named Lizzie. Lizzie entered the palace in January of 2022.
Queen Elizabeth's admiration for dogs started In 1933 when Elizabeth's parents welcomed the royal family's first corgi, Dookie. A few years later, the family welcomed another corgi named Jane.
Queen Elizabeth was then given a corgi of her very own, Susan, for her 18th birthday by her father in 1944. After Susan joined in on Elizabeth and Philip's honeymoon, the corgi gave birth to a pair of puppies in 1949. And with that, the line of royal corgis that's so closely associated with Queen Elizabeth II, began.
It's thought that the Queen began a corgi bloodline that lasted for at least 14 generations of dogs.
Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York will take the Queen’s doggos in as their own, Town and Country reported.
Of the Queen’s children, it makes sense that Andrew would inherit her dogs since he gifted her the corgi and dorgi.
"The corgis will return to live at Royal Lodge with the duke and duchess. It was the duchess who found the puppies that were gifted to Her Majesty by the duke," a source close to the prince told Newsweek.
Prince William shared an update with the public about the Queen’s dogs. During a surprise visit on Sept. 17, Prince William told a mourner waiting in line to see the Queen lying in state that the dogs are in excellent care.
"They are two very friendly corgis, so they've got a good home," Prince William said in a video captured by Sky News. He also said "They'll be looked after very well. Spoiled rotten, I'm sure."
