Her Majesty's final moments: New heartbreaking detail about the Queen's death revealed
- Replies 3
More information has come to light regarding the people (and animals) present in the room where Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8. According to sources, the Queen's beloved corgis were present with her in her final moments, along with King Charles and Princess Anne.
We all know of Queen Elizabeth II's love and passion for corgis; she had a soft spot for the breed ever since she was a little girl.

According to sources, the Queen's two remaining dogs, Muick and Sandy, accompanied their loving owner at Balmoral Castle during the weeks leading up to Her Majesty's passing so they could spend their final days together.
As the royal family said their goodbyes to the monarch, Carlton Lima Emma, the Queen's favourite fell pony, was also present on the Windsor Castle grounds.
After the funeral for his mother, Prince Andrew was seen with the dogs, which are now in his care.
Andrew gave the Queen Muick and another corgi named Fergus in March 2021, while the Prince was hospitalised, as a way to cheer up Her Majesty. Muick was named after Loch Muick on the Balmoral grounds. Philip died in April 2021 at the age of 99, and Fergus followed him in death a few months later.
On the other hand, Princess Beatrice was the one who stumbled upon Sandy when she was just a young pup, and she later gave the dog to the Queen as a present.
The day before the Queen's funeral, Prince William assured grieving citizens that the dogs were doing okay. 'I saw them the other day; they're being looked after. They're two very friendly corgis. They've got a good home,' he said, adding: 'They're being looked after very well.'
When Princess Elizabeth was seven years old, in 1933, she saw a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, which began a lifelong love affair with the breed.
In the past, Queen Elizabeth II had requested a corgi from her father, King George VI of the United Kingdom. Corgis were a popular breed in Wales at the time, but in England, they were uncommon due to crossbreeding.
After spending time with a friend's corgi, Elizabeth II reportedly decided she wanted one of her own. The monarch, who was an avid dog lover as well, fulfilled his daughter's wish and gifted her with the pet she had been hoping for.
In the 1980s, the Queen had an incident in which one of her prized puppies bit her on the hand, causing a wound that required stitches.
They had nine corgis at the time, and one of them was so disruptive that it was transferred to live with Princess Anne, and she called in behaviour specialist Dr Roger Mugford to ask for advice on how to handle the pack.
During that time, the Queen was advised to reduce the number of dogs in her household, and she responded by saying, 'Dr Mugford, Prince Philip has already told me that I have too many dogs. If I wanted advice of that sort, I could have saved your fee.'
In her lifetime, the Queen reportedly owned a total of 30 corgis. Credit: Getty.
It is said that over her 96 years of life, the former monarch owned 30 corgis.
Dookie, Jane, and Susan were the ones most people remembered. Dookie was the first pup to be photographed with the Queen, and Jane was the second. But it was Susan who was there for the most important events in the life of Her Majesty.
While she continued to breed corgis until 2015, she has stopped taking in new pups in recent years out of fear of abandoning them. She only took in Muick and Sandy on the condition that they would be returned to Andrew or Beatrice when she passed away.
We all miss the Queen very much, and we can't even begin to imagine how Muick and Sandy are feeling now that their cherished owner is no longer in their lives. We can only pray that they experience the same feeling of peace and happiness while under Andrew's care!
