Prince William and his wife, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, were left \u201cappalled\u201d after Sarah Ferguson claimed the Queen was communicating with her from beyond the grave through her Corgis, I can exclusively reveal.<\/p>\n
Sarah took to telling friends and family, to William and Catherine\u2019s 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\u2019s presence when she walked them to some of the late Queen\u2019s 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).<\/p>\n
<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n They also found it distasteful that Sarah pretended to friends that she had been \u201cleft\u201d the dogs in the late sovereign\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n 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\u2019s Dachshunds) since her teenage years.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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 \u201cepisodic mobility problems.\u201d<\/p>\n She died in September 2022.<\/p>\n I am told she never walked the dogs. One friend told me: \u201cThey 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\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019ve actually been hanging onto this little nugget of juicy gossip for a <\/span>top secret project the nature of which I cannot yet disclose<\/em> (I KNOW!!!) but today is definitely the day for bringing out all one\u2019s Corgi gossip, as the<\/span> <\/a>Sun<\/a><\/em> and the<\/span> <\/a>Mail<\/a><\/em> both have an amazing story that Sarah Ferguson was involved in talks to clone the late Queen\u2019s beloved corgis for an extraordinary TV show after the Queen\u2019s death.<\/span><\/p>\n
