Just read a piece on the Corgis on BBC website ! Includes a full family tree emanating from a Corgi called ‘Susan’ who the Queen had as a present on her 18th birthday ! She only has 2 Corgis at the time of her passing , as she didn’t want to pass , leaving young dogs , and the two which were gifted by Andrew and his children who promised to look after them if anything happened to his mother She also had a ‘Dorgi’ , one of several over the years , the initial having been created by an over amorous Dashaund belonging to Princess Margaret , and one of the Royal Corgis tut tut Edited September 11, 2022 by Sheltons Army 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
