The Queen loved her sweet Corgis 

"Dogs are so good. They don’t know if their owners are royalty or pauper. They love their owners as though they are all kings and queens!" penned one. A second added, "No matter what she was doing, she really wanted to be with her dogs."

As they were a gift from the Duke of York, he has taken the puppies into his care at his Windsor home where they will live alongside his own four dogs.

Speaking exclusively to HELLO!, Dog Expert and Founder of Yappy.com, John Smith, revealed that Her Majesty's former dogs will grieve her death.

Her Majesty's Corgis appeared at her funeral procession 

"You won’t get a greater companion or watch dog than a Corgi," he revealed. Going on to explain: "Corgis are extremely loyal to their owner, so when their owner dies, they will most definitely feel a loss, making them feel extremely anxious around other members of the family."

"Adjusting to new surroundings is always difficult to manage under any situation for a dog. Due to their independent nature, it may take some time for them to adapt to their new life with Prince Andrew. However, as long as they still have a similar routine as when they were with the Queen, they will soon settle in."
