‘I'm sure it's her, reminding me she's still around,' says Sarah, Duchess of York of the late Queen's Corgis
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Queen Elizabeth II was always known for her love of Corgis. The late monarch owned over 30 of the dogs over the years, with Muick and Sandy being the last dogs she had before her death in September 2022. In the aftermath, they were adopted by her son, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, to enjoy the rest of their life filled with lots of affection and plenty of the best dog treats. Speaking in an address to the Creative Woman Platform in London, the Duchess said that she thinks the Queen talks to her through dogs Muick and Sandy, who live at the Royal Lodge in Windsor with herself and Andrew – and a handful of Norfolk terriers. She said, via The Times, 'I have her dogs, I have her Corgis. Every morning they come in and go, 'woof woof' and all that and I'm sure it's her talking to me. I'm sure it's her, reminding me she's still around.' She then paid tribute to the late Queen, saying, 'Anyway, the real thing is that I had the greatest honor to be her daughter-in-law. That's pretty huge. And when I was driving here, I saw the [London Underground's] Elizabeth line and I said, 'I want everyone to remember what an amazing lady she was.'' Andrew and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie gave the Queen Muick alongside a Dorgi (Corgi-dachshund mix) Fergus, in 2021. Fergus sadly died from a heart defect when he was five months old, so later that year the trio gave the Queen another Corgi puppy, Sandy. Shortly after the Queen died, a source told the BBC that it was Sarah who found the puppies, and that 'the duchess bonded with Her Majesty over dog walking and riding horses, and even after her divorce, she would continue her great friendship with Her Majesty, by walking the dogs in Frogmore and chatting." In 2023, Sarah said that the Corgis were so close to the Queen that Muick had grieved after her death. She told dog trainer and presenter Graeme Hall that it took the dog about a year to come to accept it, with Hall explaining, via The Independent, 'There's a kind of grieving process, and we know that dogs do go through a grieving process as well. We don't fully understand it because we can't chat to them over a cup of coffee, but you certainly see behavior change, sometimes they're very flat.' Meanwhile, the Queen's son King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla have dogs of their own. Between them, they currently have a Jack Russell Terrier, Bluebell, Jack Russell mix Moley – who Camilla adopted earlier this year – and King Charles' new puppy, a Lagotto Romagnolo, Snuff.

Inside home of pet loving Wales family from sad loss to adorable new arrivals
While the Royal family are well known for their love of pets, Princess Kate, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are smitten with a few new furry additions to the home When you think of the late Queen Elizabeth II, images of cute Corgis may also spring to mind, so it's perhaps little surprise that the Prince and Princess in line to the throne are also dog lovers. And they are now said to be celebrating the tiny pitter-patter of feet as their beloved black cocker spaniel Orla has reportedly welcomed a litter of puppies. The Royal children, Prince George, aged 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, are said to be utterly smitten with the new pooches, but will there be room in their quaint four-bedroom cottage for the new arrivals? There's definitely plenty of space for walkies in the 655-acre grounds surrounding Adelaide Cottage in the Home Counties, where the Prince and Princess of Wales live - although there's no news on whether they plan to keep the four new pups. It's only a 10-minute stroll from Windsor Castle, where King Charles and Queen Camilla live with their Jack Russell Terrier, Bluebell. They had another Jack Russell, Beth, who sadly died in 2024. According to the Express, the mother and babies are doing well. 'We always thought the patter of tiny feet in the Wales's household had ended, so the sound of tiny paws will have to do,' a source said. Everyone loves new royal baby news, and so new royal puppies run very close. Everyone is very excited, not least the three children, who adore Orla and Lupo before." READ MORE: Michael Jackson's bizarre gravity-defying shoes and other inventions from celebrities The family welcomed Orla into their home in 2020, the same year they lost their beloved dog, Lupo. The adorable pooch is a pup from the litter of a dog belonging to Kate's brother James Middleton, who is known to be an avid dog lover himself. In a touching gesture last month, William and Kate posted a picture of Orla in honour of National Pet Day. The Royal couple dedicated their social media message to the occasion with the following heartfelt words: "Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives this #NationalPetDay." Meanwhile, the public has a lot of love for the Prince and Princess of Wales, which was clear in a video recently shared on Instagram. As the Prince and Princess of Wales were greeted by a crowd during their latest public outing, someone shouted at Kate, "You're beautiful," adding, "You too, William!" The couple giggled in response, with William jokingly responding: "You don't have to say that. Don't worry.' They were on a visit to Scotland for a ship-naming ceremony for HMS Glasgow. Scotland has a special meaning to the couple, who met as first-year college students at the University of St. Andrews in 2001. They befriended each other and became roommates before dating and falling in love.

Queen Elizabeth's unusual £1 cure for jet lag and how it works
The late monarch travelled the globe in her Royal duties and she had a strange way of combatting jet lag As Queen for a record-breaking 70 years and 214 days before her death in 2022, Queen Elizabeth was used to flying all over the world and many were long haul flights as she visited Commonwealth countries in her role. So it's fair to say she was familiar with jet lag and how to deal with it. Royal tours and the demands that come with them leaves little down time, so the Monarch had an unusual way of combatting jet lag. And she avoided sleeping pills or regular medication to help her body clock adjust. Instead she would suck on a boiled sweetie. For many of us a strong cup of coffee might be the cure, for the late Queen she chose a Barley Sugar sweet which us commoners can buy online for £1.25 for a 100g bag. The sweets are often described as travel sweet as they are also thought to combat travel sickness. Medical experts may not agree with sugar as a solution to jet lag and indeed, some would advise to avoid. This is because it can cause a spike in blood sugar levels which will crash later, causing fatigue. But GP Dr Nick Knight, a specialist in lifestyle medicine, told the Telegraph at the time, there was some merit in her actions. He explained: "What the Queen is doing by having barley sugar is essentially using her body's sugar metabolic pathways to help adjust her body clock. "It is a little niche but essentially the same should happen if you were to have your breakfast, lunch and dinner at times that match your destination before you get there, regardless of whether you're hungry or not. "Doing this instead of just consuming barley sugar will obviously be more filling." But she didn't just pack barley sugar sweets for long haul flights. Other items that were staples on royal flights included a black dress in case of mourning, a supply of her own blood and a doctor close behind. This was the case if she was visiting countries where reliable blood supplies were not a given. And when she would fly to Scotland to spend summers at Balmoral, the Queen's beloved Corgis would accompany her on the flight. Of course, she never had to worry about showing her passport. She was the only royal who didn't require a passport, after all the British Passport was issued in her name. However, she reportedly did have to undertake an identity check when she left or came back to Britain. She had to give her full name, age, address, nationality, gender and place of birth to immigration officials.

Meet Fu Zai, China's First Police Corgi With 400,000 Followers And A Nose For Trouble
Meet Fu Zai-a corgi with short legs, a big appetite, and an even bigger fan base. Once a family pet, Fu Zai is now China's first police corgi and a viral sensation, thanks to his unlikely role in law enforcement and a series of food-related antics that have endeared him to social media users. Since officially joining the Weifang Public Security Bureau in Shandong last October, the enthusiastic little dog has been working as a sniffer dog, using his sharp nose to detect explosives. But it's not just his skills that are getting attention-it's also his charm, goofiness, and a relentless obsession with food. The corgi's transformation from household pet to police recruit began when police trainer Zhao Qingshuai spotted him in a park last year. A quick call of his name had the puppy spinning on command and rushing over-especially when food was involved. "He couldn't resist food, which actually showed he had a strong drive to work," Zhao said in an interview with Chinese state media. That drive has led to both successes and comic mishaps. During a recent patrol, Fu Zai was caught on video snatching a sausage from a child's hand. His handlers have since worked on curbing his culinary temptations, but the incident only boosted his popularity. Supporters flooded social media with encouragement-and offers of more sausages. In another viral clip, Fu Zai was "disciplined" after sleeping on duty and using his food bowl as a toilet. His New Year's treats and toys were temporarily confiscated-another moment that made him an internet favourite. Despite the distractions, Fu Zai has proven to be a capable member of the force. With his small size and low center of gravity, he can access spaces larger dogs can't, like under vehicles and bus seats-making him an unexpected asset. His rise is unusual in police dog circles, where breeds like German shepherds, golden retrievers, and spaniels are preferred for their trainability and focus. Corgis, often seen as playful and easily distracted, are rarely considered. But Fu Zai has defied expectations. "Corgis are like big dogs in small bodies. They're confident but can get distracted," said Leonardo Palacio, a U.S.-based dog trainer. Still, with the right training, their drive can be channelled effectively. Fu Zai's fame has soared through Douyin, China's version of TikTok, where the Weifang police regularly post updates. A dedicated account titled *"Fu Zai and his comrades"* has over 400,000 followers. Fans tune in to watch him don doggy sunglasses, patrol festivals, and complete drills. Even his former owner remains part of the journey-making frequent visits to see him at the police base. From stealing sausages to sniffing out explosives, Fu Zai's journey shows that determination-and a love for snacks-can take you a long way.
