In 2019, an animated film "The Queen's Corgi" was released. The film is based on Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and her beloved corgi dog in her life, telling the story of the royal chief dog, Corgi Rex, after making a big fuss about the queen and President Trump's state dinner, accidentally "wandered into the folk", in the process of returning to the palace, with his companions to launch a self-redemption adventure story.
On the 8th of this month, after the queen's death, what to do with her favorite corgi dog has also attracted widespread attention.
In 1933, her father, George VI, gave her and her sister Princess Margaret a Pembroke Welsh corgi Dookie. At the age of 18, the Queen got another corgi dog, Susan. This is also the ancestor of other royal dogs later. The Queen is known for her dog love, especially the Corgi. During her 70-year reign, she owned more than 30 corgis and doggis.
Royal writer Penny Junor wrote in The Queen's Corgi: "There is a special corgi room with a raised wicker basket and cushions around it in case of an accident. In addition, the book also mentions that the queen often walks her dog to feed herself and buries her beloved dog. During the Christmas season, the Queen herself puts gifts into the exclusive Christmas stockings of each royal dog. Most of the time, the task of caring for the dog fell mainly on the queen's assistants and attendants.
Wherever the queen goes, there is always a group of dogs to accompany her. Prince Philip, the prince, walked behind his wife all his life, and the corgis always sneaked around in front of her, so much so that the prince once complained: "Damn dogs! Why are you raising so much? ”
The Queen affectionately called these royal dogs "girls" and "boys". Princess Diana once called them "moving carpets." When Buckingham Palace welcomes visitors, the dogs are always present. When the conversation fell silent, the queen would often use the topic of dogs to avoid the cold. Juno said the queen was "basically a very shy person" and would use a dog to alleviate her discomfort when she was asked to talk confidently to strangers.
Her family refers to this as the "dog mechanism"..." If things get too bad, she sometimes leaves with the dog. "It is said that it took Prince Andrew three weeks to get past the dogs and tell his mother that something was wrong with his marriage.
In the fourth season of the British drama "The Crown", this bridge section was used on Princess Diana, and when she directly asked to talk about her marriage to Prince Charles without an appointment, the queen's excuse for leaving was "I'm going to feed the dog now".
In addition, the queen has comforted others with dogs. In 2014, surgeon David Nott returned from the battlefield to meet the Queen. At lunch, remembering the tragic sights he had seen in Syria, he suddenly developed post-traumatic stress disorder. Sensing his change, the Queen summoned the corgis and asked the doctor to feed the dog with her, which lasted 20 minutes until he calmed down.
When the Queen Died in 2002, the Queen adopted three corgi from her mother and decided to stop the breeding program that had been going on for decades. In an interview in 2012, the Queen's equestrian adviser mentioned that the death of one of the Queen's corgis had deeply affected her and that "she didn't want to leave any puppies behind". This royal dog once accompanied the driver in the Bond Bridge section of the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games.
In 2018, after the death of Corgi Willow, the Queen stopped adopting dogs for a time.
When the Queen died, the British Kennel Club tweeted that "people will miss her deeply, one of the world's most dog-loving monarchs." It is understood that Prince Andrew and his ex-wife will take care of two of the 4 royal dogs left behind, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi "Sandy" and "Mick". And they used to be gifts from the prince and his wife to the queen.
