Behind every great ruler is a great dog, and Queen Elizabeth II knew that better than anyone. The monarch has owned 30 dogs since her reign as Queen of the United Kingdom began in February 1952.
The Queen received her first corgi, Susan, on her 18th birthday in 1944. Each corgi after that has been a descendant of Susan, who even accompanied the Queen and her late husband, Prince Philip, on their honeymoon in 1947 to Broadlands, Philip’s family home in the English countryside, and Birkhall, the queen’s childhood estate.
Elizabeth’s dogs even have their own room in Buckingham Palace, where they sleep on wicker beds and receive fresh sheets daily.
