With the death of Elizabeth II at the age of 96, not only does a reign of seven decades of ducaration end, but also one of the most tender love stories of royalty: that of the monarch and her corgi puppies. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor grew up surrounded by them and had them until her last breath like a king (pun intended). Now many people have expressed concern about the fate of the animals. Especially in light of a photo that circulates through networks and in which you can see how the dogs are transported to what seems like their new life. However, this is not a current snapshot.
Four corgis that, to human eyes, can be read with sad faces are unloaded from a plane in the arms of two real workers. Many users of social networks have wanted to see in this photo the state of the queen’s famous dogs at her death. Nevertheless, Isabel II only had two furry ones left in her care at the time of her death.
Indeed, the queen of England he stopped breeding corgis when he turned 90because he suffered with the loss of each of them and so that they would not be orphaned after their own death. In all, she had more than 30 dogs, most of them descendants of Susan, the pet she received as a gift for her 18th birthday. The death in 2018 of Willow, the last of those she had tamed herself, ended the dynasty.

King Charles is expected to make a decision on the future of Lissy, named for Her Majesty, in the coming weeks. while the corgi Muick will be in the care of the Dukes of York: Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, as confirmed by a spokesman for the queen’s son quoted by the British press. Candy’s fate is unknown, and it is speculated that she could go with Andrés or go to a staff member of the Queen.
The Queen went out walking with her dogs every day… The Queen grew up with corgis, fearless little dogs bred for herding cattle. Her father de ella brought a corgi home when she was seven, and she was not without one—for decades afterward.

According to the book Pets by Royal Appointment, in which Brian Hoey reviews the pets of British royalty since the 16th century, Elizabeth II loved her corgis so much that personally supervised their daily diet.
