Most Famous Welsh Corgi Lovers: Queen Elizabeth II
Ranked #579 in Pets & Animals, #17,017 overall
Queen of the Corgi Lovers
Queen Elizabeth II is arguably the world's most famous corgi lover. I say "arguably" because I, myself, couldn't decide between Her Majesty and the great Tasha Tudor.

Princess Elizabeth and the family corgis
The young Princess Elizabeth and corgis in the House of Windsor
When Princess Elizabeth was a young child, her father got the family a corgi named Dookie. They loved Dookie so much, they got another corgi called Jane, who had puppies. The family kept two from Dookie and Jane's litter: Crackers and Carol.The Princess was given her own first corgi, Susan, for her 18th birthday.
Since then Her Majesty has had over 30 corgis, nearly all of of which have been descended from her beloved Susan.

Corgis and Dorgis Disembarking
The Windsor Dorgi
The Queen not only has four Pembroke Welsh Corgis, she has also come up with her own "breed" (controversial among purists), which she has styled the "Windsor Dorgi." The dorgi came about when Pipkin, the beloved dachshund of the late Princess Margaret, bred with one of the queen's corgis. Their offspring? The "dorgi"!

- As a dog lover she must have been upset when one of her beloved corgis went missing. A reward was offered but I never heard anything about the dog being found. She must have been in total shock when one of Princess Anne's dogs killed one of the Queen's dogs right in front of her. Anne's dog, over which there had been a court case previously, was put down. There were also rumours that the dog has bitten a maid in the hand.
