‘Sulking’ Prince Andrew refuses to walk late Queen Elizabeth’s corgis amid Chinese spy scandal: report

nypost.com:

Prince Andrew is reportedly “sulking” and “refusing” to walk the two corgis he inherited from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as he faces a scandal over his connections to an alleged Chinese spy.

The disgraced duke, 64, has resorted to delegating the dog duties to “flunkies,” according to The Sun, rather than exercise the pets himself on the grounds of Royal Lodge, the massive Windsor estate his brother King Charles III has tried — and thus far failed — to evict him from.“He’s so down and demoralized he hasn’t even been able to get himself motivated to take the dogs for a walk,” an insider allegedly told The Sun.“He used to do it regularly but recently he can’t even bring himself to go out.”The Duke of York shares custody of the dogs with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 65.

Though divorced, the former couple live together and both inherited the late Queen’s pups — Muick and Sandy — upon her death in September 2022 at the age of 96.

The monarch’s affinity for corgis was world-renowned, with the breed eventually becoming synonymous with the late Queen.Over the course of her life, she owned more than 30 corgis and dorgis (a cross between a Welsh corgi and a dachshund).
