**Sarah Ferguson Opens Up About Taking Care of Queen’s Beloved Dogs**

Sarah Ferguson has shared an update on the well-being of the Queen's dogs, Mark and Sandy, after they were taken in by her and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew.

Concerns arose among royal enthusiasts regarding the fate of Her Majesty's cherished pets following her passing.

The couple paid their respects outside Windsor Castle during the Queen's funeral, paying homage to the monarch renowned for her affection for corgis.

Confirming their decision to care for the dogs post-Queen's demise, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, known as Fergie, are now offering a glimpse into their pet-centric household.

Speaking at the Henley Literary Festival, Fergie expressed her gratitude for having the dogs under her care, referring to them as national treasures who have been raised well.

Alongside the two corgis, the duo also plays the role of pet parents to five Norfolk Terriers at their shared residence in the Royal Lodge, Windsor.

Throughout her remarkable 70-year reign, the Queen had over 30 corgis, with Susan being her first gifted dog on her 18th birthday.

Muck and Sandy were later introduced to provide companionship, with Sandy being a special gift from the Duke of York on what would have been Prince Philip's 100th birthday.

Prince William assured mourners that the corgis are being pampered and are in good hands, emphasizing their friendly nature and secure home environment.

During the Queen's funeral, Prince Andrew displayed affection towards the corgis, comforting them as they stood guard at Windsor Castle.

Photographs captured Andrew tenderly interacting with the Welsh corgis, joined by Fergie and other members of the royal family, including their daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, King Charles III, Camilla, Queen Consort, Prince Anne, and Prince Edward.

Expressing her sorrow on Twitter following the Queen's passing, Fergie hailed Her Majesty's extraordinary legacy of duty, service, and steadfastness.

She praised the Queen's unwavering dedication to the UK and the Commonwealth, highlighting her as an incredible mother-in-law and friend.

Andrew, the Duke of York, also paid tribute to his mother, acknowledging her unparalleled devotion and service to the nation.

In a heartfelt statement, Andrew addressed the Queen as “Dear Mummy, Mother, Your Majesty,” lauding her as a symbol of love and respect.

He expressed gratitude for the privilege of serving her and recognized her unique role as the “Mother of the Nation.”

As the public continues to honor the Queen's memory in various ways, Andrew emphasized her enduring legacy and the profound impact she had on the lives of many.
