Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch handed away at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Thursday (September 8). While the plan of motion following her demise was rigorously laid out, there may be uncertainty over the destiny of her cherished canine: the well-known corgis.

An enduring image of her legacy, the corgi breed has come to be related to Queen Elizabeth’s 70-year-long reign. She had a lifelong love for her pet corgis, who accompanied her throughout holidays and official occasions in Buckingham Palace, her honeymoon, and even featured in her official photographs and portraits. Fed gourmand meals of rabbit, steak and greens made by royal cooks, the corgis had been even given their very own stockings on Christmas by the Queen, full of toys and doggy treats.

If the British monarchy has survived into the twenty first century, that has rather a lot to do with the way through which Queen Elizabeth II carried the crown. It was a way singularly freed from the turbulence that surrounded the late Queen’s seven many years on the throne. The primary purpose is that from her tutor at Eton who groomed her to change into the image of her nation, she discovered effectively the excellence that the nineteenth century British political scientist, Walter Bagehot, had drawn between a British monarch’s “dignified” and “efficient” duties. Had she deviated from that distinction and allowed the crown to get caught in a swirl of controversy, it’s uncertain that King Charles III would so easily be getting into the succession.
