Queen Elizabeth issues statement on coronavirus outbreak
Amid the rapid outbreak of COVID-19, the British monarch has issued a statement on the current and upcoming challenges facing the pandemic. Here’s how the Queen shows her determination to support the people of the UK during these uncertain times.
It’s good to be queen – but maybe even better to be her dog.
Queen Elizabeth apparently welcomed two new dogs into the royal house. The news comes as Prince Philip, the Queen’s husband, recovers from heart surgery, and before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s exuberant interview with Oprah Winfrey about their battle in ‘The Firm’, it started on Sunday.

Things may have been uncomfortable at Windsor Castle, but the monarch’s spirit was apparently lifted by the corgi puppies. On Friday, Today confirmed that the pets had joined the royal family. The ages, sexes and names of the new puppies remain unknown.

“The queen is delighted. It is inconceivable that the queen will not have any corgis,” a source told The Sun. “It is said that both bring a lot of noise and energy into the castle while Philip is in hospital.”

The corgis are reportedly donated to the 94-year-old monarch, and are believed to have been the first queen not to come from Susan, the corgi she received for her 18th birthday in 1944.
The family continued to breed dogs from Susan’s lineage, with Elizabeth owning at least 30 Pembroke Welsh corgis over the years. Whisper, the last of the royal line, passed away in October 2018.

Since then, Elizabeth has been kept company by a dorgi (a cross between a corgi and a dachshund) named Candy. Another dorgi named Vulcan died in November 2020, reports Page Six.
