The whereabouts of Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved corgis, Sandy and Muick, have been confirmed following a period of uncertainty after Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s move from Royal Lodge. The two dogs, who were a constant presence at the Queen’s side during her later years, are now residing on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, continuing to be cared for by Prince Andrew.
The late Queen’s passion for corgis was well-known throughout her 70-year reign, owning over 30 of the breed throughout her life, as well as “dorgis”—a dachshund-corgi mix. Sandy and Muick were among the last dogs she owned and their future became a topic of public interest following her death in September 2022. The dogs were originally gifted to the Queen in 2021 by Prince Andrew and his daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, according to The List.
Recent photographs have emerged showing the corgis at Wood Farm, a residence on the Sandringham estate where Prince Andrew is currently living temporarily while Marsh Farm, his permanent residence, undergoes renovations. A member of Andrew’s security detail was seen walking the dogs in the area, Hola! USA reports. Buckingham Palace previously confirmed that the dogs would remain in the care of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson following the removal of Andrew’s royal titles last autumn, as reported by DogTime.
A New Chapter for the Royal Pups
The move to Sandringham follows a period of transition for both Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Ferguson, despite divorcing in 1996, had shared Royal Lodge with Andrew for many years, but is now reportedly seeking a separate residence to establish an independent life, according to sources cited by The List. King Charles is reportedly covering the costs of Andrew’s accommodation at Wood Farm while Marsh Farm is being renovated.
Sarah Ferguson has continued to share updates on the corgis’ well-being on social media. In September 2025, on the third anniversary of the Queen’s death, she posted on Instagram: “Her Majesty is forever loved, always missed and never forgotten.” She described caring for the dogs as “an honour and a daily reminder of the times we shared together.”
