The Duchess of York has given a sweet update on the Queen's beloved corgis, after she took them in following the Queen's death.
Along with her ex husband Prince Andrew, they are both looking after the dogs following the long-reigning monarch's death on September 8, the Mirror reports.
Posting on Instagram on Saturday morning, Sarah Ferguson shared an adorable picture of her and the two pooches basking outside in the sun.
In the caption, she wrote: "The presents that keep giving."
The post has already racked up thousands of likes, with many people happy to find out how the dogs are doing.
One user commented: "Aw bless them. Sending big hugs to the corgis and you."
The Queen stopped breeding corgis in 2016, as she didn't want to leave any behind when she passed away. It's reported that Andrew and his two daughters promised to take care of the two corgis, Muick and Sandy, when the Queen died.
Andrew, Beatrice and her sister Eugenie are said to have gifted Muick to the Queen to keep her company when Prince Philip was in hospital, while the Prince of York gave her Sandy in June on what would have been Prince Philip's 100th birthday.
Over her lifetime the Queen owned over 30 corgis, all descended from her first, Susan, an 18th birthday gift from her father George VI. Among the corgi's many names are: Sugar, Buzz, Brush, Geordie, Smoky, Dash, Dime, Disco and Dipper.
She's also credited for creating the breed dorgi, after her corgi Tiny and Princess Margaret's dachshund Pipkin got a little frisky in 1971.
But it turned out that the Queen loved the pups so much that she continued to breed them over the years.
Following the news of her passing, a dog expert claimed the Queen's corgis may be suffering from depression.
John Smith, dog expert and founder of pet personalisation product website Yappy, said while dogs don't understand the concept of death, the pooches might feel the loss of their owner being gone.
He said: "Dogs don’t quite understand the full extent of absence due to their owner passing away, so they don’t grieve death in a sense.
"Instead, they suffer a feeling of loss and emotional despair which abandoned dogs would feel too.
"These feelings can lend themselves to common and often devastating symptoms, such as whining, pacing, howling, loss of appetite, fidgeting, broken sleep patterns, anxiety, and lethargy."
