Duchess of York says she is ‘sure' late Queen talks to her through corgis
She made the comments in an address to the Creative Women Platform in London, revealing she believed that the late Queen has been communicating to her through the dogs' barking, The Times newspaper reported.
'I have her dogs, I have her corgis. Every morning they come in and go, 'woof woof' and all that and I'm sure it's her talking to me', she said.
'I'm sure it's her, reminding me she's still around.'
It is not the first time the duchess has noted the dogs' remarkable connection to Queen Elizabeth II.
A post shared by Sarah Ferguson (Fergie) (@sarahferguson15)
In 2023, Sarah described how one of the corgis, Muick, had grieved after the late Queen's death.
Speaking with Graeme Hall, presenter of the Channel 5 show Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly, Sarah said it took Muick about a year to come to terms with Queen Elizabeth II's death.
The late Queen owned more than 30 corgis during her life, many of which were directly descended from Susan, an 18th birthday present given to her by her parents in 1944.
The then Princess Elizabeth forged such a strong connection with Susan that the dog accompanied her on her honeymoon.
