Queen Elizabeth’s two beloved corgis were comforted by their new owner, Prince Andrew, at Windsor Castle following the funeral of the late monarch.
The puppies, named Muick and Sandy, were shown outside the castle by royal staff on Monday as they awaited the arrival of Her Majesty’s hearse.
The Duke of York, 62, attended his mother’s funeral service at Westminster Abbey before he was seen patting his new pets outside.
It was previously revealed that the disgraced king and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson would be looking after the corgis after the queen died on September 8 at the age of 96.
Queen Elizabeth is said to have “bonded” with her ex-daughter-in-law Fergie on dog walks over the years, the Telegraph reported.
Ferguson and her ex-husband actually gave the monarch two puppies – Muick and Fergus – in a bid to lift her spirits while Prince Philip was in hospital last March.
Sadly, Philip passed away in April 2021, followed by Fergus a few months later.

Although the Queen’s middle son Andrew appeared to remain in his mother’s good graces, the prince was previously stripped of his royal duties and titles because of his friendship with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew, whose elder brother King Charles III is now the British sovereign, paid tribute to his mother in a September 18 statement.
“Dear Mama, Mother, Your Majesty, three in one. Your Majesty, it was an honor and a privilege to serve you,” the embattled king began.
“Mother – of the nation, your devotion and personal service to our nation is unique and one of a kind; Your people show their love and respect in so many different ways, and I know you’re keen to honor their respect,” he continued.
Andrew concluded: “Mom, your love for a son, your compassion, your caring, your trust I will forever cherish. I have found your knowledge and wisdom to be infinite, with no limits or limitations.”
