Palace affirm late Queen’s corgis adopted by Andrew will stay in ‘care of their household’

Buckingham Palace said that the “corgis will remain with the family” but it isn’t clarified who would give them a home, after Andrew and Sarah cared for them after the Queen died

The late Queen’s beloved corgis which were adopted by Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson will still remain in the “care of their family,” according to Buckingham Palace.

The now-disgraced couple housed Muick and Sandy at Royal Lodge, after Queen Elizabeth II died. However, it isn’t sure who would look after them after Andrew and Sarah are set to leave their Windsor address.

Buckingham Palace said that the “corgis will remain with the family” but it isn’t clarified who would give them a home. In 2021, Andrew gifted Muick to his mother to help while Prince Philip was in hospital.

Muick, named after Loch Muick on the Balmoral estate, and pronounced “Mick”, was given to the Queen as a pup, along with another named Fergus, according to the Daily Mail.

It comes as royal biographer Andrew Lownie has suggested that more staff are stepping forward to speak out following Andrew’s loss of his titles.

On Thursday evening, the Palace revealed that the disgraced brother of the King is poised to forfeit the Prince prefix in front of his name as criticism of his connections with the deceased convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein intensifies.

In an official statement, Buckingham Palace declared they had commenced the formal procedure of removing Andrew of all his honours and relocating him from his residence at Royal Lodge.

It is at this estate where the 65-year-old was believed to be paying peppercorn rent, a phrase used to describe rent that technically exists but could be as minimal as a few pounds annually.

This brutal Buckingham Palace statement followed Andrew officially relinquishing the Duke of York title on October 17, reports the Mirror.

During an appearance on the Palace Confidential programme discussing the escalating crisis, Royal biographer Andrew Lownie proposed that additional individuals are emerging with allegations against Andrew, as the tide has now decisively turned against him.

He remarked: “I’m getting two or three people a day coming forward and quite senior people on his staff, for example, senior officials.

“I think people can see the way the story’s going, I think perhaps maybe they’re re-examining their conscience, they feel they want to be on the right side of history.

“I’m also hearing stories from journalists who are getting tip offs from, for example, the Cabinet Office, so clearly the view is taken that Andrew is toast, he can be chucked under the bus and this is the best way to protect the rest of them.”
