Queen Elizabeth II is famously linked with the Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed of dog. The Queen has owned more than 30 Corgis during her reign and they have become a distinctive part of her public image. She received her first Corgi, named Susan, as a gift on her 18th birthday in 1944. Since then, the breed has become a beloved companion for the Queen and her family. The Queen's last Corgi, Willow, passed away in 2018, marking the end of a royal love affair with the breed.
