The Queen adopts another Corgi – after promising not to get any more dogs over fears they could KILL her
Her Majesty adopted nine-year-old Whisper after his owner, ex-keeper of the Queen's corgis, passed away
THE Queen has a new corgi — despite vowing not to get any more dogs.
Her Majesty adopted Whisper after his owner, an ex-Sandringham gamekeeper, died.
But she fell in love with Whisper, nine, during regular walks after Bill Fenwick’s death aged 93.
Bill’s wife Nancy, who died two years ago, was the Keeper of the Queen’s Corgis and she is now returning the favour.
A royal insider said: “The Queen has always had corgis but she made the decision four years ago not to breed any more because she didn’t want to have a bad fall.
“She was also concerned dogs might be left without an owner if anything happened to her.
“But she couldn’t resist Whisper and now she has asked Bill’s family if she can keep him.
“The Queen bred Whisper and gave him to Nancy and Bill as a gift. She was very fond of them and they became close friends. Nancy died aged 85 and the Queen went to her funeral.” She also has corgi Willow and dorgis Vulcan and Candy.
