A doggone historic crowning ceremony! Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved corgis have special plans for King Charles III’s coronation.
When Charles, 74, is officially crowned on Saturday, May 6, the late queen’s dogs will be watching the celebration on TV with Sarah Ferguson.

They have my five Norfolk terriers, so they’re protected and they came with their royal beds, so they go to their own bedrooms [to sleep each night].”
The A Most Intriguing Lady author — who shares daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie with her 63-year-old former spouse — further noted to Express that she believes the two corgis still dearly miss the queen.
“They can sense the late Queen’s presence at Royal Lodge, Windsor,” Ferguson told the British newspaper last month. “It makes me think Queen Elizabeth is passing by and laughing. I’m not being weird. … At night they like their own space. I respect that
