Rutaksha Rawat’s written post- WELSH CORGI- the Queen's Favorite
While Queen Elizabeth II was the centre of attention during her Diamond Jubilee celebrations, her beloved dog, the Corgi, seemed to be receiving an equal share of the limelight. • June marked the British Queen's Diamond Jubilee, as the monarch completed 60 years of reign. As the Diamond Jubilee celebration kicked off by London’s river Thames, the ‘Jubilee fever’ also hit the British souvenir market. As in the case of the royal wedding, when Duchess Kate’s royal blue engagement dress and Prince William’s smile were immortalised in tea bags, lingerie collections, mugs and plates as the couple’s trademark features, Queen Elizabeth II, too, was commemorated with her patent crown and her favourite dog — the Corgi, distinctly.
Although it is no secret that the British royals have long favoured the Corgi, the diamond jubilee celebrations have once again brought the breed to prominence, with souvenir makers putting the breed on several souvenir items alongside the queen — from knitted hats depicting the monarch standing next to a Corgi dog to paintings, mugs, key chains, cutlery, calendars, etc, with similar themes.
The queen's love affair with the breed began when she received her first Corgi, Susan, on her 18th birthday. Her Majesty now owns three Welsh Pembrokes –Monty, Willow and Holly – who are all descendants of Susan. “Her Majesty is the only Pembroke Corgi Breeder to line breed back to her foundation bitch,” says Diana King, chairman, Welsh Corgi ,League, UK. • About the Breed • The Welsh Corgi is a small type of herding dog that originated in Wales. Two distinct Welsh Corgi breeds are recognised: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, with the Pembroke being the more common and popular.
