Palace Confirms Queen Elizabeth’s Corgis Will Stay With Royal Family as Andrew Prepares to Leave Royal Lodge

The palace left day-to-day custody unspecified, reflecting a broader reallocation of Royal Lodge’s contents.

Overview

  • Buckingham Palace said Sandy and Muick "will remain with the family," without identifying who will care for them next.
  • People reported the confirmation followed orders for the former Prince Andrew to surrender his Royal Lodge lease and move to a property on the Sandringham estate, with Sarah Ferguson set to live separately.
  • Multiple outlets reported that artworks and other royal objects at Royal Lodge are expected to be returned to King Charles or the Royal Collection Trust as the residence is cleared.
  • The two corgis were gifted to Queen Elizabeth II by Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and have lived at Royal Lodge with Andrew and Sarah since 2022.
  • Former palace chef Darren McGrady described the late Queen’s dogs receiving freshly prepared meals, highlighting the close attention historically given to their care.
