Aside from being the longest-reigning monarch in British history, Queen Elizabeth II was also known for her love of corgis. Fun fact: Before the monarch passed away in 2022, she owned more than 30 corgi and “dorgi” mixes throughout her life. And, in case you didn’t know, her son, the former Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, took in the two pups who outlived the queen, Muick and Sandy.
On March 21, the Daily Mail reported that the former Duchess of York was planning to clone and sell the late Queen’s beloved pets for a reality show.
Per the outlet, “She was pushing to get back into TV and make some money. She came up with the idea of featuring the Queen’s corgis in a show. And that included the idea of breeding them. Bizarre as it sounds, the idea of cloning them was discussed.” According to the American Animal Hospital Association, the process of legally cloning pets in the U.S. costs upwards of $50,000.
But…is Sarah actually cloning the late queen’s corgis? Her reps have officially weighed in on the outrageous theory with a statement to People.

“Ms. Ferguson regularly receives varied TV offers and proposals—often for reality shows which she always declines,” one of Sarah’s reps told the outlet, adding that “to be absolutely clear, she declined the proposal regarding a reality TV show involving the late Queen’s corgis.”
The statement continued, “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.”
On the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, Sarah shared a thoughtful message about watching over Muick and Sandy on social media.
“Her Majesty will be forever loved, always missed, and never forgotten. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of the kindness I was unstintingly shown in good times and bad,” she wrote in a September 2025 Instagram post. She added, “Caring for Her Majesty’s beloved corgis is an honour and a daily reminder of the times we shared together.”
Well…good to know these little guys won’t be cloned (???).
