The Duchess of York has shared an adorable update on the late Queen’s two Corgis.
Sarah Ferguson, 64, took to her Instagram page to share a cute snap of the dogs who she adopted following the queen’s death in September 2022.
The mother-of-two, who lives at the Royal Lodge in Windsor with her ex-husband Prince Andrew, revealed that the two pooches, named Muick and Sandy, were always on the hunt for treats.
In the image, both pups posed sweetly below a flight of concrete steps while staring longingly into the camera.
Royal fans gushed over the pups, with many praising the duchess, who goes by Fergie, for posting the update. Meanwhile some said their pleading puppy dog eyes were a sign they ‘miss Her Majesty’.

She exclusively revealed that the two dogs were always on the hunt for treats, perhaps a hint that she was taking the duo on an outdoor treasure hunt
The Duchess, who recently revealed she had penned a new children’s book to be released next year, captioned the image: ‘Always begging for treats!’
Many fans applauded her for taking ‘good care’ of the queen’s beloved pets.
One fan wrote: ‘I can see they miss Her Majesty. They deserve whatever treats you give and nice they are looked after and well taken care of too’.
Echoing this sentiment, one added: ‘And you certainly give them enough. They certainly couldn’t be in better hands’.
Another said: ‘Her Majesty is looking down from Heaven and smiling with gratitude’.
A fourth commented: ‘Thank you for posting their photo, good seeing them. Have a great Holiday!’
Meanwhile one chimed: ‘Give them whatever their little heart desires!’
It appears the late monarch’s former daughter-in-law has been having the most splendid time with her newly acquired pets.
Sarah has also revealed that the dogs are recovering from their grief following the queen’s death last year
The duchess celebrated Thanksgiving with the two pooches, which she marked with a sweet celebratory photograph.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: ‘Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends! We are enjoying the cool, November weather.
‘It is a perfect time to take a stroll, sip a cup of tea, or perhaps, to write something cosy, mysterious, and new.
‘This author is sharpening her pen this autumn and feeling thankful for all of the little things. What are you thankful for this festive season?’
Queen Elizabeth II owned more than 30 corgis during her reign and was known for her love of the breed.
The late monarch received the two dogs, Muick and Sandy, as gifts from The Duke of York and have now been taken on by her son and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
In early 2021, the Queen was given two new puppies, one dorgi (a daschund-corgi mix) and one corgi, as a gift by Andrew while staying at Windsor during lockdown.
Royal fans gushed over the cutesters, with many praising Fergie for posting the update. Meanwhile some said their pleading puppy dog eyes were a sign they ‘miss Her Majesty’
The puppies kept the monarch entertained while the Duke of Edinburgh was in hospital – and Buckingham Palace and the royals were dealing with the fallout from the Sussexes’ Oprah interview.
The Queen named the dorgi Fergus after her uncle – who was killed in action during the First World War, and the corgi Muick, pronounced Mick, after Loch Muick on the Balmoral estate.
But the monarch was devastated when five-month-old Fergus died just weeks later, in the aftermath of Philip’s death.
He was later replaced with a new corgi puppy, from Andrew and princesses Beatrice and Eugenie for her official 95th birthday, who the Queen named Sandy.
The news comes after Sarah announced she had authored a new children’s book set to be released next year, and it appears one of the characters may be inspired by her grandson.
The Duchess of York took to Instagram on Sunday to share the exciting news with a snap of a Christmas bauble to promote the book Tale of Tails.
Sarah revealed one of the book’s characters is called Augustus, which appears to be two-year-old son of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, – August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
One of the final photographs released of the Queen, which saw her celebrating her Jubilee in February, showcased her ongoing love for her dogs
Eugenie, who also has another 11-month old baby boy Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, is the youngest daughter of and Sarah.
Sharing a snap of the book on social media Sarah wrote: ‘Well, hello Augustus. I am so excited to introduce you to my new children’s book Tale of Tails, which is coming out next year with wonderful illustrations by Frank Endersby and bauble production by Sonya at CherishedGifts Co.
‘In the meantime, if you are still looking for a children’s holiday read, you can head to the link in my bio and find ‘Little Red’s Christmas’ under ‘books’. I hope everyone is enjoying a little extra time to read and rest.’
It appears the character Augustus is a snail who is carrying a slew of Christmas presents on hill shell.
Other characters in the book include Lord & Lady Slugginton-Smythe, Harriette, Horace the Post Deliverer, Mr Wingfield, Mr Carp, Hazel, Professor Wormington, Chompy, Dr. Ow, Dily & Dally, Dot & Doll and Willy.
The grandmother-of-three previously discussed what her grandchildren, Ernest, Augustus, and Princess Beatrice’s two-year-old daughter Sienna Elizabeth, call her on the podcast Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah.
‘I am a granny number two – number three now!’ Sarah says, correcting herself, adding she was very much a ‘doting granny, GG. I am GG, doting GG.’
Sarah is the author of several children’s books, including Ballerina Rosie; Tea for Ruby, illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser; and the Little Red series as well as a memoir, Finding Sarah.
