The Sandringham estate is privately<br \/>\nowned by the King, who is understood to be meeting the costs of his<br \/>\nbrother\u2019s new arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>Uncertainty had surrounded the corgis\u2019 future after Andrew and<br \/>\nhis former wife, Sarah Ferguson, were required to leave Royal<br \/>\nLodge. Although divorced since 1996, the pair had continued living<br \/>\ntogether at the property for many years. Buckingham Palace<br \/>\ninitially stated only that the dogs would \u201cremain with the family\u201d,<br \/>\ndeclining to clarify precisely where they would live.<\/p>\n<p>Sandy and Muick were given to the late Queen during the Covid<br \/>\npandemic and were later entrusted to Andrew and the Duchess<br \/>\nfollowing her death in September 2022. The Queen\u2019s affection for<br \/>\ncorgis was well known; she owned more than 30 over her lifetime and<br \/>\nensured they remained a familiar presence in royal households.<\/p>\n<p>In the years since the Queen\u2019s death, Andrew and Sarah had<br \/>\nappeared to take a leading role in caring for the dogs, frequently<br \/>\nsharing updates and photographs on social media. On the anniversary<br \/>\nof the Queen\u2019s passing last year, she described looking after the<br \/>\nanimals as \u201can honour\u201d and a daily reminder of their shared<br \/>\nmemories.<\/p>\n<p>However, recent reports have confirmed that the corgis are now<br \/>\nsettled in Norfolk alongside Andrew. He is said to be spending much<br \/>\nof his time privately at Sandringham as scrutiny continues over<br \/>\nallegations connected to his past association with Jeffrey Epstein.<br \/>\nThe King has previously expressed concern at matters relating to<br \/>\nhis brother\u2019s conduct and made clear that any inquiries are for<br \/>\nAndrew himself to address.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fate of the late Queen\u2019s beloved corgis has been quietly resolved after weeks of speculation following the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-152298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
