Since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Sarah Ferguson has been looking after the late monarch’s beloved corgis, Muick and Sandy.
On Friday, the Duchess of York made a surprise visit to Crufts to see her sister, Jane, and revealed a special homemade treat she prepares for the royal pooches. Jane, 67, was at the event promoting her pet product, Licki Mats, a silicone mat designed for animals.
In a video shared on social media, Sarah enthusiastically explained how she uses the product to create an “ice cream” treat for her seven dogs, including the corgi duo.
“I use Licki Mats for all my seven dogs, and for the two corgis, sometimes I give them yoghurt in one of these Licki Mats and put it in the freezer,” she shared. “It’s like an ice cream! I just walked past an ice cream van—I’d love one, so why wouldn’t your pet?”
The video also captured the heartwarming moment Sarah reunited with her sister, Jane, who appeared overjoyed to see her. As Jane resides on the Australian Gold Coast, the sisters likely don’t get to meet often.
Alongside the video, Sarah wrote: “A surprise visit to @crufts to see my sister @janeferguson7 and her fabulous @LickiMat, and also to support Lady B’s charity, the @nfrsa_official – National Foundation for Retired Service Animals – for which I’m a proud Patron. Nothing better than combining family time and championing deserving animals who’ve served us so selflessly. #LickiMat.”
Sarah occasionally shares updates on Muick and Sandy, much to the delight of royal fans. Last August, she posted a touching message on International Dog Day, featuring a photo of herself cuddling the corgis in what appeared to be her garden.
She wrote: “Wishing you and all your furry friends a Happy #InternationalDogDay. For all the unconditional love, loyalty, and joy they bring into our lives, Sandy and Muick will be getting an extra treat on their special day!”
Fans flooded the comments section with heartfelt messages.
“Aww! What an adorable photo! I’m sure Queen Elizabeth is happy that you are taking wonderful care of her furbabies!” one follower wrote.
Another added: “Queen Elizabeth is proud of you for looking after her beloved corgis. Thank you, Sarah.”
A third commented: “The Queen’s best friends look like they are thriving. No doubt they are being showered with love.”
