A Brief History of The Queen and Her Love for Corgis

Her Majesty’s love for Corgis dates back to her childhood when her father, King George VI, bought a seven-year-old Princess Elizabeth and her younger sister Princess Margaret a Pembrokeshire Welsh Corgi.

King George brought home one named Dookie for her and Princess Margaret, after they played and fell in love with Viscount Weymouth’s very own Corgi.

The King and Queen Mother tried to breed Dookie, and a few years later he had two puppies with another mate, named Crackers and Carol.

Susan arrived in 1944 for the Queen’s 18th birthday and they soon became inseparable; the Queen loved Susan so much that she honeymooned with the monarch and Prince Philip in 1947.

When the Queen gave birth to Prince Charles, newspaper columns would be full of advice on how to keep Susan from becoming jealous of the young prince.

The Queen’s love for the breed quickly became one of the things she was most famous for around the world.

Her Majesty owned more than 30 dogs over the years. Her last, which were bought in 2021, would have been gifts.
