Buckingham Palace has provided an update on the fate of Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved corgis, Muick and Sandy, following the official removal of Andrew’s royal titles and privileges.
Buckingham Palace provides updates on Queen Elizabeth’s corgi
In a statement released to The Independent on October 31, the palace assured the public that the late monarch’s dogs would “remain with the family”, although it declined to specify which member of the royal household would be responsible for their care.
The update comes amid growing attention over Andrew’s position in the royal family. Just a day earlier, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles III. he began the process of stripping his younger brother of his remaining styles, titles and honors.
From now on he will be referred to simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
“Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and deepest sympathies have been and will remain with victims and survivors of all forms of abuse,” the palace said in a statement, adding that “these reprimands are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”
Why was Andrew stripped of all titles and privileges?
Andrew, 65, has long been under public scrutiny because of his past association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
He previously stepped down from public duties in 2019 and confirmed earlier in October that he would no longer use his royal titles. “In discussion with the King and my immediate and extended family, we have come to the conclusion that the continued allegations that I am detracting from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,” Andrew said. “I have decided, as always, to put my duty to family and country first.”
Who took care of the corgi after the Queen’s death?
Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson were originally entrusted with the care of the late Queen’s corgi after her death in September 2022. The pair had lived at Royal Lodge since 2004 under an agreement that allowed them to stay there until 2078.
However, following the king’s decision, Andrew will leave the residence and move to a plot of land on the private estate of Sandringham. According to the palace, “any future accommodation will be privately funded” by the monarch.
Corgi of Queen Elizabeth II. they have long been a beloved symbol of her reign, representing her lifelong affection for the breed. The assurance that they will continue to live in the royal household offers a poignant reminder of her enduring legacy – even as the royal family undergoes one of its most significant internal changes in recent years.
