Prince William and his wife, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, were left “appalled” after Sarah Ferguson claimed the Queen was communicating with her from beyond the grave through her Corgis, I can exclusively reveal.
Sarah took to telling friends and family, to William and Catherine’s intense irritation, that the Queen used the corgis to communicate with her from beyond the grave, and that she and the dogs could feel Elizabeth’s presence when she walked them to some of the late Queen’s favorite spots in Windsor Great Park, where she and Andrew lived in Royal Lodge, the 10-bedroom former home of the Queen Mother (another Corgi lover as the below pic shows).
William and Catherine, along with those who actually cared for and spent time with the Queen in her final months, such as her oldest friend and dresser, Angela Kelly, thought it was a bizarre and tasteless way for Sarah to boast, erroneously in their opinion, of her spiritual closeness to Elizabeth.
They also found it distasteful that Sarah pretended to friends that she had been “left” the dogs in the late sovereign’s will, when, in fact, they were simply returned to Andrew and Sarah who had given the Queen the dogs, Sandy and Muick, without consulting with other members of the family, in 2021.
The Queen had been an enthusiastic breeder and owner of Corgis and Dorgis (a Corgi /Daschund cross created after an unplanned pregnancy between one of her dogs and one of Princess Margaret’s Dachshunds) since her teenage years.
However, like many conscientious pet owners, she did not want her pets to be orphaned after her death and she told friends at the time that her last dog would be the Dorgi, Vulcan, who died, in late 2020, during the Covid pandemic. Vulcan is thought not to have been directly descended from her first Corgi, Susan, given to her by her father George VI, when she was 18, but she had certainly bred Vulcan and several of his ancestors herself.
By the time Muick and then Sandy arrived in mid 2021, the Queen was already severely ill with bone cancer and increasingly reliant on a wheelchair behind closed doors. Less than a year after their arrival, in February 2022, her office announced that she was struggling with “episodic mobility problems.”
She died in September 2022.
I am told she never walked the dogs. One friend told me: “They were an unhelpful and unasked for gift from her son. She took her responsibilities to dumb animals very seriously. She knew Charles and William didn’t like Corgis, and she made it very clear she did not want the dogs on her conscience. The sight of them being walked round Wood Farm by a footman is tragic, and it shows just how prescient she was.”
I’ve actually been hanging onto this little nugget of juicy gossip for a top secret project the nature of which I cannot yet disclose (I KNOW!!!) but today is definitely the day for bringing out all one’s Corgi gossip, as the Sun and the Mail both have an amazing story that Sarah Ferguson was involved in talks to clone the late Queen’s beloved corgis for an extraordinary TV show after the Queen’s death.
“She was pushing to get back into TV and make some money,” a source told the Mail, adding, “She came up with the idea of featuring the Queen’s corgis in a show. And that included the idea of breeding them. Bizarre as it sounds, the idea of cloning them was discussed.”
A TV source told the Sun: “It was very bizarre. There were meetings in LA over lunch and dinner.”
A memo just months after the Queen’s funeral set out how Fergie would create a company called The Queen’s Corgis to clone and sell the dogs while managing her “strained relationship” with the Royal Family.
It read in part: “When Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is bequeathed two of the Queen’s beloved corgis, she decides to embark on a bold and controversial business venture – cloning the royal pups.
“But as she navigates the complex world of genetics and royal protocol, Sarah must also grapple with her own personal demons and strained relationship with the royal family.”
I’ve reached out for comment to Sarah’s last known reps.
