Queen Elizabeth II and the Welsh Corgis

in life •  6 years ago 

The love of the Welsh corgis of the queen Elizabeth II of Pembroke is known - and she has had corgis in her life since she was seven.

King George VI and Queen Elizabeth with princess Elizabeth and Margaret, as well as a few canine companions, including Dookie and Jane in Windsor in 1936.

' Sugar lived until 1965 and was buried with his mother Susan in Sandringham, the Queen's private residence.'

Diana, Princess of Wales, was accompanied by a corgi on the occasion of the 88th birthday of the Queen mother, in 1988.

Last week, Willow, a Welsh Corgi from Pembroke, who was the companion of Queen Elizabeth II, was announced.

In 1947, when Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten went to Scotland to start their honeymoon, Susan was smuggled with her.

In 1948, Elizabeth was born to Prince Charles, and one year later, Susan, her lover, went to motherhood, giving birth to two puppies.

One puppy was supposed to belong to the princess, and the other one was with the Queen's mother.

Prince Harry last year revealed how his fiancee Meghan Markle had succeeded in enchanting the Queen's dogs.

' Susan became the founder of the Queen's royal dog dynasty and was even taken on a honeymoon by Princess Elizabeth.'

Two years later, the Queen was bitten on her left hand as she tried to fight six of her corgis and two Queen mothers in Windsor.

Holly was suspended in October 2016 after suffering from the disease, which left Willow while the final Queen of corgi was removed from Susan.

Elizabeth II's love for the Welsh Corgis began when she was only seven years old : she was crushed by the pets of an aristocratic family she visited.

Dookie, bred by Thelma grey, was the first of the Queen of Corgis, but he would not be the last.

Willow and Holly are presented in James Bond's skit and the official portrait for the 90th birthday of the Queen.

For decades, all the dogs of Queen and Queen Elizabeth have been treated very well - some would say that they were pampered.
