“She came up with the idea of featuring the Queen\u2019s corgis in a show. And that included the idea of breeding them. Bizarre as it sounds, the idea of cloning them was discussed.”<\/p>\n
Whilst animal cloning is not legal in the UK, it is legal to send a skin sample from an animal to the US.<\/p>\n
The source, who was close to the negotiations, added: “There were Zoom meetings with the TV people and email exchanges. At one point she wanted to get what she called her ‘team’ involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Sarah seemed to be up for anything provided she was paid – and particularly if she could do some travelling in the process and meet rich aristos who might like to own a corgi.\u2019<\/p>\n
In the end, the project was abandoned.<\/p>\n
According to royal author Richard Fitzwilliams said that to even “consider cloning the late Queen\u2019s beloved dogs for financial gain is unbelievably grotesque and utterly bizarre”.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the ex-duchess said she “never progressed any discussions with Halcyon Studios, which were engineered by others, and withdrew from them of her own accord”.<\/p>\n
They added: “She listens to TV proposals all the time but that doesn\u2019t mean she is going to go through with them. If she had briefly seemed enthusiastic, that is just who Sarah is. Sarah never had any intention of monetising the corgis.<\/p>\n
“She had been looking at doing a TV show about dogs for many years, long before she had the corgis and long before she was introduced to Halcyon Studios. She owns other types of dogs also. Any resulting show would never have been about the corgis alone.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
