Sarah Ferguson has shared a sweet update on the late Queen's pets Sandy and Muick in an adorable Instagram post.
The Duchess of York posted a snap of the puppies on Instagram to celebrate International Dog Day, giving the corgi fans a much-needed insight into the lives of the two dogs.
In the picture, Fergie lay on the grass with a huge smile on her face as she cuddled her two furry friends whom she inherited from the late monarch in September 2022.
In the caption, the duchess said: "Wishing you and all your furry friends a Happy #InternationalDogDay. For all the unconditional love, loyalty, and joy they bring into our lives, Sandy and Muick will be getting an extra treat on their special day!"

Royal fans loved the sweet update and flocked to the comments section to gush over the dogs.
One person said: "Ah they're lovely and I am sure Queen Elizabeth II is looking down on them and you and delighted with the love and attention you give them. The corgi is a lovely breed. May you and Andrew have many happy years with them."

A second fan wrote: "Awhhh!! What an adorable photo! I'm sure Queen Elizabeth is happy that you are taking wonderful care of her furbabies!"
Whilst a third penned: "Thank you for taking care of the queen's dogs that meant so much to her."
Queen Elizabeth, who died at the age of 96, owned many corgis over her life. The two pups in the snap, Muick and Sandy, had been a gift to Elizabeth by Fergie and Andrew.
The duchess has often spoken out about the honour of taking in the Queen’s pets.
In 2023, she told The Express: "They can sense the late Queen’s presence at Royal Lodge, Windsor,.
"It makes me think Queen Elizabeth is passing by and laughing. I’m not being weird. … At night they like their own space. I respect that they probably do miss her. I miss her too.”
In May she told US Weekly: "I have seven dogs and two of them are corgis [and] five of them are Norfolk terriers. They’re all doing very well. They’re all very lovely and very, very loved!”
Despite being divorced since 1997, the Duke and Duchess of York still live together (with the dogs) at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
