The Queen Died But What Happens To Her Corgis?

But the rest of the story from the Independent clarifies that the Queen just wanted to stop breeding corgis so she wouldn’t “leave behind any young dogs.”

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward told Newsweek she imagined the pets would go to the Queen’s children — most likely Prince Andrew, as he was the one who gifted her the current set after the death of her husband, Prince Philip. If it’s not sorted yet, though, may we suggest letting them stop by for a BuzzFeed puppy interview?

The Queen was so committed to giving her pets the best possible care in her lifetime that she brought her first corgi, Susan, along with her on her honeymoon. There’s no way she’d demand to be buried alive with them, as satire site Reductress joked — that wouldn’t be very glamorous.

Buckingham Palace has not yet returned a request for comment about the plans for rehoming the pets, but while we wait, enjoy some memes with varying levels of dark humor.
