Queen Elizabeth’s corgis hated it when she had to work

Damn Queen Elizabeth.

The late monarch’s precious corgis were reportedly dejected as she was forced to attend official royal duties.

“When the Queen walked into this room with her tiara on, the dogs would sink to the floor and look very sad because they knew she was the Queen and they knew she was going to an official work event,” says Caroline Perry, Author of the new picture book The Corgi and the Queen, People said.

According to Perry, the “corgis knew” when the king would leave them to go to events. “‘Oh no, not the tiara again!’ ‘ she joked about what the canines (probably) thought.

However, when the monarch wore a headscarf, “the dogs would jump up and bark and run to the door because they knew she was Elizabeth off duty and she would be taking them for a walk,” Perry noted.

Her corgis were so popular they had their own suite at Buckingham Palace.

“She really loved every single dog she had as a companion,” Perry said.

When she turned 18 in 1944, the Queen was given the precious Corgi Susan as a birthday present. Susan attended several of the monarch’s milestones, including her coronation. The Queen also bred dogs and many of them were descendants of Susan.

“That’s how much she loved Susan,” Perry remarked. “She just didn’t want that legacy to end.”

Perry continued, “She didn’t get to choose her life, but she did get to choose her companions. The fact that these Corgis are so feisty, so lively and so mischievous I think was in a way her way of expressing how she felt inside but couldn’t express it.”

After her death on September 8, her dogs were given to her youngest son Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Andrew, 62, was even seen comforting the puppies at their funeral on September 19.

Ferguson, 63, revealed in an interview with the Telegraph that it was a “great honor” to take on the furry friends after the monarch’s death. She even called them “national treasures”.[s]’ and said they were ‘well taught’.
