Queen Elizabeth II Distraught As Her Last Corgi Dies

She has a long history with the breed.

Queen Elizabeth II is reportedly distraught over the loss of Willow, the last in a line of corgis that has kept her company since childhood.

Willow was put down after suffering from cancer, the Daily Mail reports.

The dog was 14. She was part of a lineage that had been with Britain’s Royal Family since 1933.

Willow was the 91-year-old queen’s “most devoted companion” but not her only pet, according to the Mail. The queen also has two corgi-dachsund mixes, known as “dorgis.” Their names are Candy and Vulcan.

The queen has owned over 30 Pembroke Welsh corgis since 1945.
