Over the years, the Queen had owned numerous corgis, many of which were descendants of her first corgi, Susan. Currently, her two surviving dogs, Buick and Sandy, were under the care of Sarah Ferguson after the Queen's passing.
Reports in a tabloid suggested that Meghan was planning to return to the UK, but it seemed her welcome was no longer assured. Her family's recent scandal had caused strains in their relationship with both her hometown and Harry's hometown. According to a source close to Sarah Ferguson, Meghan had secretly emailed her multiple times, seeking to acquire the Queen's two dogs, Music and Sandy.
Meghan's desire to have the dogs seemed to be driven by a hope to win affection and forgiveness from the British royal family and the public. She possibly wanted to portray herself as an animal lover, caring for others, with aspirations of eventually joining the ranks of the monarchy. However, the reality was far from what Meghan hoped for. The source hinted that Harry had a troubled history with animals, indicating that he had allegedly mistreated them in the past.
Fortunately, the request for the dogs was refused. Although Meghan was reportedly fighting cancer, she showed a willingness to care for the dogs. However, the refusal was for the dogs' own well-being, as they would be better off with someone who genuinely loved and cared for animals.
The Queen's affinity for corgis dates back to her childhood when her father, King George VI, gifted her and Princess Margaret Welsh Corgis. Throughout her life, she owned over 30 dogs, with Susan being the matriarch of her corgi dynasty. The Queen's love for her corgis became one of her most iconic traits, recognized worldwide. Even during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the corgis took center stage, with commemorative merchandise and decorations celebrating these beloved companions.
