After Queen Elizabeth passed away in September 2022, her two remaining corgis, Sandy and Muick, were being cared for by former Prine Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
This weekend, the Daily Mail reported that the former Duchess of York considered starring in a reality TV show that would revolve around her selling clones of the royal corgis. A reported synopsis read: “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. But as she dives deeper into the world of genetics and cloning, Fergie realizes that her business venture is not without controversy.”
The synopsis continues, “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.”
Now, her representative has gone on the record denying that Ferguson ever considered this series, saying in a statement to People, “Ms. Ferguson regularly receives varied TV offers and proposals — often for reality shows which she always declines,” adding that “to be absolutely clear, she declined the proposal…regarding a reality TV show involving the late Queen’s corgis.” The rep added, “She received the proposal following some initial conversations with Halcyon media to discuss a potential programme on dogs generally, but conversations ended following her declining the opportunity suggested.”
The statement marks the first on-the-record comments from Ferguson year, despite the fact her charity, Sarah’s Trust, closed in February after the release of the Epstein files, and her ex-husband Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office that same month.
Upon Andrew and Sarah’s eviction from their residence at Royal Lodge, Buckingham Palace was vague regarding who would keep the dogs, but upon Andrew’s arrest in February 2026, it was revealed the corgis were living with him.
