On May 14, the Duchess of York, 65, posted a video where she made the revelation in a conversation on stage at Creative Women Platform Forum conference in London. PEOPLE confirmed that the Duchess of York and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, inherited the Queen's last two surviving corgis upon her death in September 2022 at age 96. "I have her dogs. I have her corgis, so every morning they come in and go, 'Woof, woof' and all that and I'm sure it's her talking to me," the Duchess said in a clip shared to Instagram, which made the audience laugh. "The real thing is that I had the greatest honor to be her daughter-in-law. You know, that's really huge," she continued. "When I was driving here, I saw the Elizabeth [train] line… I want everyone to remember what an amazing lady she was." The Duchess of York, who is popularly known as Fergie, was married to Queen Elizabeth's second son from 1986 to 1996, and the former couple share daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. While the Duke and Duchess of York split years ago, they remain on friendly terms and still live together at their family home, Royal Lodge, in Windsor. The late Queen was a dog lover throughout her life with a particular affinity for corgis (she owned more than 30 corgis and "dorgi" mixes), and in 2021, the York family gave her what proved to be her last two corgis. Following her death, a source close to Prince Andrew told PEOPLE that the dogs, Muick and Sandy, would go back to live with him and Fergie. "The corgis will return to live at Royal Lodge with the Duke and Duchess. It was the Duchess who found the puppies, which were gifted to Her Majesty by the Duke," the insider said. Speaking to PEOPLE in 2023, Fergie spoke about how the corgis send her a sign from the late Queen. "They are national icons, so every time they run chasing a squirrel, I panic," Fergie told PEOPLE in 2023. "But they're total joys, and I always think that when they bark at nothing, and there's no squirrels in sight, I believe it's because the Queen is passing by." "They're with me a lot, and they think I'm very funny," she added. The author and advocate occasionally shares updates on Muick and Sandy with her social media followers, recently shouting out her whole menagerie of pups on International Pet Day in April. "Happy International Pet Day to my seven sweet doggies!" she captioned an Instagram dedicated to her dogs on April 11. "From their wagging tails and comforting cuddles, to the calming presence and loyal companionship they give every single day, life is simply brighter with these amazing furry friends by my side." In addition to her royal corgis, the post hinted that the Duchess of York owns Yorkies (a fitting breed for her title!) called Roary, Ginger and Poppy. The corgis were a comfort to Fergie in 2023 as she recovered from surgery following a breast cancer diagnosis and she wrote about how a therapeutic walk with them brought her solace. "I took all 7 doggies yesterday to where Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth used to walk them. It was wonderful to have a moment to remember," she captioned a carousel of flower pictures that July.
