Still Waters Posted April 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The Queen has been left heartbroken after the death of her last corgi. Willow, who was almost 15, was put to sleep at Windsor Castle on Sunday. The dog had a cancer-related illness and the Queen did not want her beloved pet to suffer further. The death brings to an end a remarkable history between the Queen and corgis dating back more than eight decades. Willow was the 14th generation descended from Susan, a gift to the then Princess Elizabeth on her 18th birthday. But her heritage dates back even further, to 1933, when the Queen’s father George VI (then Duke of York) introduced a corgi, Dookie, into the Royal Family. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5627361/Queen-hit-extremely-hard-death-corgi-devoted-companion-Willow.html 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being made a UM moderator, on the other hand - even an honorary one - would give her WAY too much power ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
