Queen Elizabeth II was a dog lover who owned more than 30 corgis and dorgis — dachshund-corgi mixes — over the course of her 96 years. Following her death in 2022, the only two corgis to outlive her, Muick and Sandy, were taken in by son Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who at the time both lived at Royal Lodge, a 20-room mansion on England's Windsor Great Park estate.

A few weeks before Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the former Duke of York and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson moved out of Royal Lodge. When King Charles III made the decision to evict them from the 20-room property amid renewed scrutiny over their ties to predator Jeffrey Epstein, the monarch offered his brother smaller accommodations on his privately owned Sandringham estate. Andrew has been staying there — at a five-bedroom property called Wood Farm — while renovations continue on his future home nearby, Marsh Farm. Fergie, however, was not given new accommodations.

While adjusting to his new life in Sandringham, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor hasn't been entirely alone. In recent days, the former Duke of York's protection officers were seen walking the corgis around the grounds of Wood Farm, suggesting the dogs are now living with the disgraced royal. It's a fitting arrangement — he was the one who originally gifted Muick and Sandy to his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2021,
People reported.

In May 2025, Sarah Ferguson talked about former mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth II's corgis, Muick and Sandy, while speaking at a conference in London. "I have her dogs. I have her corgis, so every morning they come in and go, 'Woof, woof,' and all that and I'm sure it's her talking to me," the former Duchess of York said.
"The real thing is that I had the greatest honor to be her daughter-in-law. You know, that's really huge," she added. "When I was driving here, I saw the Elizabeth [train] line. … I want everyone to remember what an amazing lady she was."
