The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson has shared a tear-jerking update on the Queen's corgis, after she and ex-husband Prince Andrew took them into care following Her Majesty's death last month.
It was initially announced that the pair would take custody of the pooches following the tragic death of Queen Elizabeth II last month.
The Mirror reports that taking to Instagram this morning, Sarah posted a picture of her with the pair of dogs looking happy and full of fun in the sun, captioning the snap: "The presents that keep giving."
The post has since been liked by thousands of social media users, many overjoyed to see that the pair of pooches are living their best life. O ne user, wrote: "Aw bless them. Sending big hugs to the corgis and you."
Her Majesty has stopped breeding dogs seven years ago, reluctant to leave any behind when she passed, but it is understood that Andrew and his daughters gifted her two corgis - Muick and Sandy - agreeing to promise to care for them should she die.
Andrew, Beatrice, and Eugenie are said to have gifted Muick to the Queen to keep her company while Prince Philip was in hospital, with the Prince of York adding Sandy to the family on what would have been the late Prince's 100th birthday.
Over her lifetime the Queen owned more than 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 is also credited with inventing the dorgi after her corgi Tiny and Princess Margaret's dachshund Pipkin unexpectedly got a little too friendly in 1971, but it turned out to be a rather lucky encounter as the Queen adored the puppies so much she decided to breed more over the years.
