A royal family spokesperson has confirmed what will happen to the Queen's beloved corgis.
Queen Elizabeth ll was famously known for many things throughout her lifetime, one of which was her love of corgis. The Queen's fondness for corgis began at the age of seven in 1933 after she met her friend's Pembroke Welsh corgi.
In her death, Her Majesty left behind two surviving dogs - one corgi and one dorgi. A dorgi is a corgi and dachshund cross.

People have been wondering what will happen to Her Majesty's adored pets since her death on September 8.
A spokeswoman for Prince Andrew said he and Sarah, the Duchess of York will take on Muick and Sandy. The Queen was gifted two pups into her home in 2021 when Prince Philip was in hospital.
The Queen named one, the dorgi, Fergus after her uncle who was killed in action during the First World War, and the corgi was called Muick, pronounced Mick, after Loch Muick on the Balmoral estate - one of her favourite places to visit.
Sadly, five-month-old Fergus died just a few weeks later, in the aftermath of Philip’s death. Andrew and his daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie then gifted the Queen another corgi puppy to replace Fergus for her official 95th birthday which was named Sandy.
The dogs had been treated no less than the royal family themselves. Living inside Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s corgis enjoyed a privileged life, residing in their own room in the palace known as the Corgi Room. They were treated to elevated wicker baskets to sleep in with fresh sheets on a daily basis and their menu was extensive, including fresh rabbit and beef, served by a gourmet chef.
