Corgi owners claim their pets have been ‘acting differently’ since the Queen’s death

The Queen’s beloved corgis were by her side throughout her 70-year reign, and the breed became a symbol of British royalty.

Now, corgi owners have taken to social media to share their experiences of how their corgis have fared since Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8.

Some have claimed that their beloved pooches “acted differently” as they mourned the Queen’s death.

King Charles III met a woman holding a corgi when he arrived to visit Hillsborough Castle in Belfast last week

One concerned owner said their dog is having trouble coping with the news and is behaving “differently” and lying on his lap more than usual.

Another said her corgis were “upset” by the Queen’s death, but also excited about their new king, Charles III.

An owner shared a post on Facebook last week, writing: ‘Has anyone else’s corgi behaved differently now that Our Majesty has passed away?

“Ours has been on our lap since the news broke, which is unusual. It’s almost as if they know, God bless the queen.’

Another member of the British Corgi Club wrote: ‘Mine are angry at the death of the Queen, but excited about the new Prince and Princess of Wales.

“We are also very relieved that the Yorks are taking care of the Queen’s corgis, as we wanted to offer them.

“It’s confusing for all corgis, it’s hard enough for them to understand English instead of Welsh and now grieving doesn’t even mean it’s time to eat breakfast.”

As one Corgi owner suggested, ‘When speaking of the queen’s death to corgis, use Welsh to avoid confusion. Morning – Boreu. Mourning – galaru.’

The posts have now been shared on Facebook and have garnered hundreds of likes and dozens of comments from social media users who were stunned by the comments.

Emma Morgann said, ‘Oh my days. Are there really such people in the world?’

Carl Habgood said, “Everyone’s lost the plot.” Jennifer O Neill said, “Definitely too far, some people need therapy.”

While Lizzie Coyle said, “Biggest load of s***e I’ve seen yet.”

During Queen Elizabeth’s 70-year reign, she became known around the world for her love of Pembroke Welsh Corgis, making the dogs a symbol of British royalty.

In 1944, the Queen announced that she had given birth to a Pembroke Corgi puppy, Susan, for her birthday and the breed rose in popularity by 56 percent.

She now leaves behind four royal canines; two corgis, Candy and Muick, a cross between corgi and dachshund — or “dorgi” — named Sandy, and her most recent acquisition, Lissy, a cocker spaniel she named after herself.

While the future of the pets is unclear, a royal biographer has said they may be passed on to Prince Andrew and his daughter Princess Beatrice.
