The former Duchess of York may have escaped the U.K. to get away from all the bad press tied to the revelations of just how close she and Jeffrey Epstein were, but she wanted to set the record straight on a new report that she was set to clone the late Queen Elizabeth’s beloved corgis.

Ferguson was reportedly set to star in a reality series that followed the former royal as she sold clones of corgis Muick and Sandy, according to the Daily Mail.

However, a representative for Ferguson denied the tail, er, tale.

“Ms. Ferguson regularly receives varied TV offers and proposals — often for reality shows which she always declines,” Ferguson’s rep said said in a statement to People.

“She received the proposal following some initial conversations with Halcyon media to discuss a potential program on dogs generally, but conversations ended following her declining the opportunity suggested,” they explained.

The rep specifically noted the report “regarding a reality TV show involving the late Queen’s corgis,” adding, “to be absolutely clear, she declined the proposal.”

What was the show supposedly about?

In May 2023, eight months after the Queen’s passing, Ferguson spoke with multiple production companies in the United States about featuring the corgis in a show, the Mail reported.

“With the help of a team of scientists and investors, Fergie sets up a company called The Queen’s Corgis, which aims to clone the Queen’s corgis and sell them to other dog lovers around the world,” read the synopsis for the proposed series, according to the outlet.

“But as she dives deeper into the world of genetics and cloning, Fergie realizes that her business venture is not without controversy,” it continued.

“As the series unfolds, viewers will be taken on a journey through the fascinating world of genetics and cloning, as well as the inner workings of the royal family. They will witness the highs and lows of Fergie’s business venture, and see how her determination and resilience are put to the test.”

The synopsis added: “But ultimately, they will be left with a sense of hope and wonder, as they witness the incredible bond between humans and animals, and the enduring legacy of the Queen’s beloved corgis.”

Queen Elizabeth owned more than 30 corgis and dorgi mixes throughout her life, though Muick and Sandy were the only canines that were at her funeral in September 2022.

The corgis were taken in by then-Prince Andrew and Ferguson, and stayed at the friendly exes’ residence, Royal Lodge.

The pups were last seen in photos published by the Mail on Feb. 9, as the two pooches walked along Sandringham estate, where Andrew has since relocated following his Feb. 19 arrest.

Meanwhile, Ferguson has stayed out of the spotlight for the last few months.

She did, however, share a photo of the beloved Corgis on Instagram as she paid tribute to the Queen on the third anniversary of her death.

“Her Majesty will be forever loved, always missed, and never forgotten,” she captioned the Instagram post.

“Not a day goes by when I don’t think of the kindness I was unstintingly shown in good times and bad,” Fergie continued. “Caring for Her Majesty’s beloved corgis is an honor and a daily reminder of the times we shared together.”

Before that, she posed in a photo with the dogs on International Dog Day in August.

“Life is simply better with a wagging tail at your side,” she wrote.
