Sarah Ferguson is pushing back against headlines linking her to a controversial reality show involving the late Queen Elizabeth’s corgis. Recent reports sparked debate after suggesting the former Duchess of York had explored the idea of cloning the royal pets for a television project.
However, her team has now stepped in to clarify what actually happened behind the scenes. According to her representative, the claims have been overstated and do not reflect Ferguson’s intentions.
Sarah Ferguson rejected the reality TV show opportunity, rep states
A spokesperson denied Sarah Ferguson ever agreed to a reality show about cloning Queen Elizabeth II’s dogs. In a statement, her representative emphasized that while proposals were presented, Ferguson ultimately chose not to pursue the idea.
“Ms. Ferguson regularly receives varied TV offers and proposals — often for reality shows which she always declines,” the rep told PEOPLE. They further added that she “declined the proposal” involving the monarch’s corgis. The statement also clarified that any early conversations were general in nature and not a commitment to a specific concept.
The controversy appears to stem from a Daily Mail report claiming Ferguson held talks with producers about a possible show. According to those claims, the concept allegedly involved cloning the late Queen’s surviving corgis, Muick and Sandy, and potentially selling genetically replicated puppies. The reported idea was described as both “bold” and “controversial,” particularly given the ethical concerns surrounding pet cloning.
However, Ferguson’s team maintains that such claims misrepresent the situation. The spokesperson noted that while she had initial conversations with a media company about a broader dog-related program, “conversations ended” once the specific concept was introduced. The rep stressed that Ferguson “never had any intention of monetizing the corgis.”
The late Queen Elizabeth was famously devoted to her corgis, owning dozens throughout her lifetime. After her passing in 2022, Muick and Sandy were placed in Ferguson’s care. The ex-duchess previously described the responsibility as an “honor” in an Instagram post.
