Sarah Ferguson has delighted royal fans with a rare glimpse of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved corgis, Muick and Sandy, in celebration of National Pet Day.
The Duchess of York, who has been caring for the famous royal dogs since the Queen’s passing in 2022, shared adorable photos of the pair on her Instagram account on Friday.
The 65-year-old, who still resides at Windsor’s Royal Lodge with her ex-husband Prince Andrew, featured the royal corgis prominently in her heartwarming social media tribute.
The duchess shared a heartfelt message alongside the images, writing: “Happy International Pet Day to my seven sweet doggies!
“From their wagging tails and comforting cuddles, to the calming presence and loyal companionship they give every single day, life is simply brighter with these amazing furry friends by my side.”

The photo showed the doggy-duo cuddling up to Sarah whilst on the grounds of Royal Lodge.
The corgis were entrusted to Sarah and Prince Andrew’s care following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September 2022.
Royal supporters were quick to express their delight at seeing the Queen’s corgis looking well cared for.
One fan commented on Instagram: “Beautiful. Her Majesty chose you well to care for her little dogs.”
Another added: “Oh Sarah, Queen Elizabeth would be so happy she left them in good hands.”
A third royal enthusiast wrote: “Such beautiful family dogs, glad to see our Queen’s dogs are happy and healthy.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales also marked National Pet Day by sharing a photo of their black cocker spaniel Orla on social media.
The duchess’ Instagram carousel also featured her other dogs, including Roary, Ginger, and Poppy, along with two unnamed pups.

One charming image showed Sarah riding a bicycle with one of her dogs in the front basket.
The duchess recently revealed she uses Licki Mats, a product from her sister Jane’s pet business, for all seven of her dogs.
“Sometimes I give them yoghurt in one of these Licki Mats and put it in the freezer. It’s like an ice cream!” Sarah explained last month.
