The Duke and Duchess of York – Prince Andrew and her ex-wife Sarah Ferguson – are getting the corgis that belonged to the late Queen, with whom Fergie “bonded” during dog walks, according to The Telegraph. Fergie had chosen the two dogs – Moic and Fergus – which Andrew gave his mother last March to cheer her up while her husband Prince Philip was in hospital. While Fergus has since passed on, he was replaced with another royal corgi named Sandy. Fergie, who still lives with the duke despite their 1996 divorce, was invited to Balmoral Castle last summer for the first time in decades, where she bonded with HRH, including the dogs. “The Duchess bonded with HRH for dog walking and horse riding, and even after her divorce, she would continue her great friendship with HRH by walking the dogs at Frogmore and chatting,” a source told the Telegraph.

I will always be grateful to her for her generosity in staying by my side even after my divorce,” he continued. “I will miss him more than words can express.” Queen Elizabeth II spending an afternoon with her camera and corgis in Windsor Park in 1960.
