What are some of Queen Elizabeth II's most beloved pets?

Queen Elizabeth II is known for her love of animals, especially her beloved pets. Her Majesty has had a number of furry companions over the years, but her most well-known pets are her corgis.

Queen Elizabeth II has owned more than 30 corgis since she became Queen in 1952. Her first corgi, Susan, was a gift from her parents on her 18th birthday, and she has been a dog lover ever since.

Over the years, the Queen has also owned a number of other dogs, including dachshunds, spaniels, and Labradors. She has also had a few cats, including a Siamese named Ming, and a number of horses, which she is known to be an avid rider of.

One of the most famous of the Queen's corgis was Monty, who appeared in the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics alongside James Bond actor Daniel Craig. Sadly, the Queen's last corgi, Whisper, passed away in 2018, marking the end of an era.
