Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, the Duchess of York, provided an update on the dogs she deemed “national treasures” that once belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The ex-wife of the disgraced Prince Andrew spoke with “The Telegraph” about the “well-trained” dogs she and the Duke of York inherited after the queen’s death in September.
Although they divorced in 1992, the duo reside together in England and maintain an exceptionally close relationship.
Throughout her reign, Queen Elizabeth owned dozens of corgis, and was frequently pictured with her beloved pets, walking around Windsor Castle.

QUEEN ELIZABETH II’S CORGIS WILL BE CARED FOR BY PRINCE ANDREW AND SARAH FERGUSON: REPORT
In March of last year, Prince Andrew gave his mother two corgis said to be found by Fergie, Muick and Fergus, to boost the Queen’s spirits amid the hospitalization of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Unfortunately Fergus preceded the monarch, dying in May, but was replaced with another dog named Sandy. Fergie said the dogs gave the Queen “constant joy.” The Queen and Fergie frequently walked the dogs together.
Reports revealed that the royal corgis were with Queen Elizabeth II when she passed away.
