We all know how much the Queen loved her Corgis. During her long and illustrious life, which was packed with royal duties and responsibilities, Her Majesty still found time to care for more than 30 of them.
The small Welsh herding dogs became synonymous with the Queen, who was often photographed walking the cutest and furriest members of the Royal Family. Her love for those adorable potato-shaped pooches is just one of the reasons why the Queen always had a special place in our hearts.

And as the nation prepares to lay the Queen to rest, a Royal Family source revealed that Her Majesty had a special place at Sandringham for all her departed pooches.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, the source revealed that the Corgi graveyard is the burial place of Her Majesty’s first Corgi, Susan, an 18th birthday present from her father.
It’s unclear how many other Corgis are buried here, but those that were all have their own little headstone.

Susan’s headstone reads, “For almost 15 years, the faithful companion of the Queen.” Buried next to her is Sugar, who passed in 1965. Her headstone describes sweet Sugar as “the faithful companion of The Queen.”

The tradition of burying royal pets on the estate goes back to 1887, when Queen Victoria selected the plot of land as the resting place for her beloved Border Collie, Noble.
Dog lovers, Corgi owners, and Royal Family supporters are coming together next month for a series of special Corgi parades in honour of this amazing breed and its most famous owner.
Agatha Crerer-Gilbert and her corgi Ruffus will be leading one of the parades.
“To celebrate the life of Her Majesty, we’re organising corgi gatherings at Buckingham Palace and other Royal estates – Windsor, Sandringham and Balmoral,” posted Agatha on Instagram. “Rest in peace, Your Majesty. She’s gone to heaven to join all her corgis.”
