The young Princess Elizabeth and corgis in the House of Windsor
When Princess Elizabeth was a young child, her family had a corgi named Dookie.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.

The Queen and Her Royal Corgis in Books!
Titus Rules!
This is THE book about the Queen and her corgis. Dick King-Smith is a children's author, but I'm sure I enjoyed this more than my kids did-- it's got so many funny references they didn't get! Prince Phillip's nickname for his wife is "Madge" (short for "Majesty"!), everyone is always tripping over the corgis, and the queen herself shows a surprising amount of spunk! It's a great read-- loads of fun.

The Queen's Holiday
This book is actually about another queen, Queen Victoria, and her corgis. It's an out-of-print children's picture book, but it's very, very cute and worth looking for. Amazon has copies available.

Are they just adorable? A charming eccentricity? Inappropriately underfoot at state functions? What do you think of Her Majesty's little herd?

- What a wonderful lens! I have a special fondness for Queen Elizabeth and it is so nice to see her with her precious Corgis. I love the pictures - and the video! Nice to know I'm in good company with a fitness routine that consists (mostly for me) of walking and playing with my dog. (I do see a yellow lab in one of those pictures, too!)
