Sarah Ferguson<\/a>\u2019s rep dismissed speculation that the former Duchess of York had plans to clone Queen Elizabeth II<\/a>\u2019s famous corgis, Muick and Sandy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be absolutely clear, she declined the proposal regarding a reality TV show involving the late Queen\u2019s corgis,\u201d a rep for Ferguson told People<\/a> in a statement published on March 22. \u201cShe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rep added that Ferguson, 66, \u201cregularly receives varied TV offers and proposals,\u201d which she \u201calways declines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferguson\u2019s statement came after reports from Daily Mail claimed she was in talks to \u201csell genetic replicas\u201d of the royal dogs through a company called \u201cThe Queen\u2019s Corgis\u201d in the proposed show.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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,\u201d the reported synopsis read, per the outlet on March 21. \u201cThey will witness the highs and lows of Fergie\u2019s business venture, and see how her determination and resilience are put to the test \u2026 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\u2019s beloved corgis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferguson, who is popularly known as Fergie, and her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a>, 66, adopted Muick (pronounced \u201cMick\u201d) and Sandy after Elizabeth died in 2022<\/a> at the age of 96. Elizabeth owned over 30 corgis and dorgis, a crossbreed between a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a Dachshund, throughout her life. Muick and Sandy attended the monarch\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, Andrew, and their daughters, Princess Beatrice<\/a> and Princess Eugenie, gifted Muick and another dog named Fergus, who died in 2021, to the late monarch in 2021 to cheer her up while Prince Philip was hospitalized amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The family then gave Sandy to Elizabeth later that year, to honor Philip\u2019s 100th birthday<\/a>, after he had died two months prior at the age of 99.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Ferguson opened up about adopting the U.K.\u2019s most famous pups.<\/p>\n

“They are national icons, so every time they run chasing a squirrel, I panic,” she told People<\/a>. “But they’re total joys, and I always think that when they bark at nothing, and there’s no squirrels in sight, I believe it’s because the Queen is passing by.”<\/p>\n

She added, “They’re with me a lot, and they think I’m very funny.”<\/p>\n

Ferguson frequently talks about the pride she feels in caring for Elizabeth\u2019s prized pets. She gave an update about Muick and Sandy while paying tribute to the late monarch on the third anniversary of her death.<\/p>\n

“Her Majesty will be forever loved, always missed, and never forgotten,\u201d Ferguson wrote via Instagram<\/a>. \u201cNot a day goes by when I don\u2019t think of the kindness I was unstintingly shown in good times and bad. Caring for Her Majesty\u2019s beloved corgis is an honor and a daily reminder of the times we shared together.”<\/p>\n
