The Queen's corgis have a new home.

Tonight, the White House announcing President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are attending the Queen's funeral. Biden is not invited to bring a delegation with him, which is a break from other state funerals for world leaders. This is we're learning more about Queen's quote best friends, the two parties who were always by her side. Tom Foreman is out as much as her Royal Guard, Royal Family and Royal Crown. The Queen's waddling entourage of Welsh corgis were a symbol known around the world, the run of the palace and a place in her heart. The corgis were a big deal. Sally Bedell Smith has written extensively about the Royal Family dogs and all. They were just extremely good company for her, uh, in good times and bad. And I think they made her laugh from her youth. The Queen loved animals, horses, hunting dogs. But the corgis were special. Her first Susan went along on the Queen's honeymoon, then became matriarch to a long line of pampered pooches fed from silver bowls, walked incessantly and playing a peculiar diplomatic role. When the Queen met others, Diana said there were like a little moving carpet that preceded her into a room. And whenever the conversation lagged in any way, the corgis could always be counted on to supply some point of conversation. The dogs were not always so agreeable. The First Minister of Scotland recalled a dinner with the Queen when the lights began to fail. My husband suddenly leapt up and darted across the room. Peter had spotted the cause of the flickering light. One of Her Majesty's corgis was chewing through the cord. They never bit the Queen, but but they did bite some of her staff. The Queen was known to have as many as six at a time, and when she crossbred them with dachshunds, she was credited with creating the dorgy. At the end, though, the dogs and her company dwindled to just a few. The last are now destined to live with the Duke and Duchess of York. And perhaps, as this comic suggests, like so many people, they will miss the lady at the other end of the leash. Some people closer to the royal family have said maybe the reason she liked her corgis so much is because she could go for walks with them, talk about her problems, and they didn't talk back. In fact, they didn't know or care that she was the Queen. Erin? That's right. And they couldn't leak.
