Sarah Ferguson’s Rep Clarifies Rumor Queen Elizabeth’s Dogs Are Cloned

Sarah Ferguson is throwing a bone at her critics.

After reports surfaced that Sarah, Duchess of York, was planning to clone the late Queen Elizabeth II’s corgis, Muick and Sandy – dogs she and her husband, Prince Andrew, took in after the Queen’s death in 2022 – her spokesperson said the rumors were false. The alleged cloning was supposedly for a new reality TV show, but this has not been confirmed.

According to a statement released to People magazine on March 22nd, Ms. Ferguson is frequently approached with TV opportunities, particularly for reality shows, but she consistently turns them down. The representative confirmed she also declined a recent offer for a reality show centered around the late Queen’s corgis.

She was presented with the proposal after first talking with Halcyon Media about a possible show focused on dogs. However, discussions stopped when she turned down their initial idea.

TopMob News has reached out to Halcyon Media for comment but has not heard back.

News broke on March 21st that Sarah, 66, was reportedly planning to create and sell copies of the royal family’s corgis in a new show. The Daily Mail reported that the show’s description stated she had partnered with scientists and investors to form a company called “The Queen’s Corgis,” just eight months after Queen Elizabeth passed away.

Although a planned TV show about it isn’t happening, the late Queen’s love for her Welsh corgis – and sometimes dorgis – is a heartwarming story in itself. Throughout her 70 years as Queen, it was well known how much she adored the breed. Her son Andrew continued this tradition by giving her two corgis, Muick and Sandy, in 2021. In a touching moment, the dogs were even present at the Queen’s televised funeral at Windsor Castle.

Even though Sarah wasn’t interested in the reported storyline, she has lovingly shared updates about Muick and Sandy over the years, including details about how the dogs remain connected to the memory of the late royal.

The author of Tea for Ruby told TopMob News in 2023 that she finds the squirrels delightful and hilarious. She believes they’re focused on a specific person when they chase after things in the air, and that’s her preferred explanation. Though the squirrels aren’t visible, they continue to bark, leading her to think they’re reacting to this person’s presence.

Queen Elizabeth’s corgis enjoy playing with Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. The dogs were originally a gift to the Queen from her son, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. After the Queen passed away, Prince Andrew and Sarah—who share a home—took the corgis in and are now caring for them.

The Queen’s two remaining corgis, Sandy and Muick, were at Windsor Castle on September 8, 2022, as her coffin arrived for her final burial after the state funeral.

In February 2022, the Queen relaxed at Windsor Castle’s Oak Room, petting her dog Candy while pausing from looking at items celebrating her Golden and Platinum Jubilees.

One of the Queen’s last four pets passed away several months before her death on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96. She is survived by her corgis, Muick and Sandy, who now live with her son, Prince Andrew, and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. A cocker spaniel named Lissy also remains.
