Queen’s Heartbreak: Beloved Puppy Fergus Passes Away at Just Five Months

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Queen Elizabeth II is mourning the loss of her puppy Fergus, who passed away at just five months old.

The little dog was gifted to Her Majesty as a source of comfort while her beloved husband, Prince Philip, was hospitalized earlier this year.

Fergus, along with his companion Muick, was adopted by the Queen in February, shortly after the Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to St Bartholomew's Hospital in London.

At 95 years old, the Queen is still grappling with the profound grief of losing Prince Philip, who passed away on April 9 at the age of 99.

Reports suggest that the death of Fergus has left her devastated, compounding her sorrow during an already challenging time.

Sources close to the royal family reveal that the Queen often took the two puppies for walks around the grounds of Windsor Castle, seeking solace and distraction from her grief.

The surprise gift of the Dax and Corgi crossbreed puppies came courtesy of her middle son, Prince Andrew.

According to an insider from Windsor Castle, the puppies were intended to uplift the Queen's spirits during an incredibly difficult period in her life.

It seems that the intention behind the adoption was not only to provide companionship but also to bring a little joy amidst the sadness.

The timing of Fergus's passing is particularly poignant, coming so soon after Prince Philip's death.

Those close to the Queen have expressed their sadness over the loss, noting that it adds another layer of heartache to an already trying time.

Furthermore, the ongoing challenges surrounding her grandson, Prince Harry, have only intensified the emotional strain on the monarch.

In a touching moment before Philip's funeral on April 17, the Queen was seen driving to Frogmore Gardens with the puppies.
