- Queen Elizabeth’s corgis, Sandy and Muick, have been spotted at Sandringham.
- Their whereabouts had been unclear following Prince Andrew and Fergie’s move.
- Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson continue to care for the dogs.
- Andrew is temporarily residing at Wood Farm in Sandringham.
They were the loyal companions of Queen Elizabeth II (1926–2022) – and following her death, the fate of her corgis, Sandy and Muick, repeatedly made headlines. After Prince Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, vacated Royal Lodge, the first sign of life from the two dogs has emerged.
According to the Daily Mail, Sandy and Muick were photographed while on a walk on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. A member of Andrew’s security detail was seen walking the dogs near Wood Farm – the residence where Andrew is temporarily living after moving out of Royal Lodge.
The Corgis Remain with Andrew
Buckingham Palace previously confirmed that the corgis would remain in the care of Andrew and Ferguson when his royal titles were revoked last fall, as reported by DogTime. However, the living situation for the former couple has since changed significantly. Despite their divorce in 1996, Ferguson had been living with Andrew at Royal Lodge for years, but a source told the US magazine that she now intends to seek a home of her own and “build an independent life.”
Andrew himself is currently awaiting the completion of his permanent residence, Marsh Farm, likewise on the Sandringham estate, while residing at Wood Farm. King Charles is reportedly covering the costs of his accommodation.

Over 30 Corgis in the Queen’s Life
The late monarch was a passionate animal lover and owned more than 30 corgis and so-called “dorgis” – a cross between a dachshund and a corgi – throughout her life. Sandy and Muick were the last two dogs to outlive the Queen, and even attended her funeral on September 19, 2022, at St. George’s Chapel, an image that resonated globally.
Ferguson has spoken about the dogs repeatedly since then. On September 2025, she wrote on Instagram to mark the third anniversary of the Queen’s death: “Her Majesty is forever loved, always missed and never forgotten.” She added that caring for the corgis was “an honour and a daily reminder of the times we shared together.”
In a March 2023 interview with People, Ferguson also revealed: “They are national icons, so I panic every time they chase a squirrel.” And she added: “If they bark at nothing and there’s no squirrel in sight, I believe the Queen is watching.”
New Allegations Against Andrew
While the corgis appear to have found a peaceful spot at Sandringham, things are becoming increasingly uncomfortable for Andrew. The BBC reported on February 9 that Thames Valley Police are investigating whether Andrew passed confidential information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (1953–2019) during his former role as a trade envoy. Newly released emails from the US Department of Justice reportedly show Andrew passing travel reports from Southeast Asia and a “confidential briefing” on investment opportunities in Afghanistan to the businessman.
Buckingham Palace responded with a statement on the same day: “The King has made it clear, in words and through actions, his deep concern over the continuing allegations relating to the behaviour of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor.” The Palace added that it would be ready to assist with the investigation should Thames Valley Police make contact.
