Sarah Ferguson has shared an update with royal fans on the late Queen Elizabeth’s corgis with a set of adorable new photos.
The Duchess of York, 65, and her ex-husband Prince Andrew adopted Sandy and Muick, the former monarch’s beloved dogs, after she died in 2022.
Ever since, the two adorable pooches have been by Fergie’s side at the Royal Lodge in Great Windsor Park.
To mark International Dog Day, the 65-year-old shared new pictures of the pair along with a sweet caption.

After Queen Elizabeth’s death, Sandy and Muick found a place in the nation’s heart when they were pictured outside Windsor Castle waiting for the processional of the Queen's coffin following her Westminster Abbey funeral.

|For almost her entire life, Queen Elizabeth was associated with the small Welsh herding dog and was often seen with at least one by her side.
Her love of the breed began when she and her younger sister, Princess Margaret, were gifted a pair in 1933 by their father, King George VI.
At age 18, the late Queen took ownership of her first Corgi, Susan – who all subsequent royal Corgis are descended from.
As a result, Elizabeth became one of the world’s most prolific Pembroke Corgi breeders.

Since adopting Sandy and Muick, the Duchess of York has established a close connection with the pair.
On the day of her 63rd birthday, Fergie described Sandy and Muick as “the presents that keep giving”.
Through her Instagram account, she has shared updates through images and videos of the pair.
More recently, Fergie revealed she believed the late Queen still communicated with her through the medium of her beloved Corgis.
