Sarah Ferguson (63) has been taking care of her dogs since the death of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) in September 2022. The Duchess of York adopted two corgis, Sandy and Muick (pronounced “Mick”), to the Queen of Ferguson, her ex-husband Prince Andrew, 63, and their two daughters, Princess Beatrice, 34, and Princess Eugenie, 32. , had been given. But caring for Britain’s most famous pets takes a lot of effort, she said in an interview with People magazine.
“They are national icons and every time they chase after a squirrel I panic,” the Duchess said. “But they are also real delight and I always think when they bark and there isn’t a squirrel in sight I think it’s because the queen is passing by.”
The Duchess still appears to be closely linked to her former mother-in-law. Because if she spoke to the Queen today, she would “tell her about the magnolia trees in the garden, because she loved that, and the primroses on the Windsor shore and the snowdrops. She would love her dogs to walk there, where she used to go for a walk”.
The Corgi Muick and Dorgi Fergus were gifts from Prince Andrew to his mother during lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. His father, Prince Philip (1921-2021), was in the hospital at the time. Fergus died as a puppy in May of the same year, which is why the Queen was able to welcome Corgi Lady Sandy a short time later.
Queen Elizabeth II was a great dog lover throughout her life. She owned a total of more than 30 corgis and dachshund-corgi mixes, which became known as dorgis.
