Where are – Sandy and Muick, Queen Elizabeth II’s last corgis, were photographed at the queen’s funeral in 2022. Since Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were pushed out of their Windsor home amid the Epstein scandal, the dogs’ whereabouts have become a moving target—last pictured
When Sandy and Muick were photographed outside Windsor Castle on the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, their pose—resting on their bellies as the coffin arrived—looked like quiet devotion. Since then, the corgis themselves have faded from the spotlight.
Now, in the Norfolk village of Wolferton—more than 100 miles from London—questions about the Queen’s final two corgis have grown louder, because their last confirmed public trace appears to date back to September 2025, shortly before Sarah Ferguson stopped posting on Instagram.
Sandy and Muick were bequeathed to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson after the Queen’s death in 2022. In the years since. Andrew and Fergie’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein have triggered a dramatic fall from grace. including their eviction from their shared Windsor mansion and the removal of their royal titles. As Andrew and Ferguson have largely vanished from public view, the corgis have followed that same vanishing act.
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie has said the whereabouts of the corgis are a mystery. Royal expert Penny Junor, author of “All the Queen’s Corgis,” said she “haven’t a clue what happened to the dogs.”
To find the corgis, people are now working backward from what they can prove: when and where Sandy and Muick were last seen.
The last royal image came with the funeral
Queen Elizabeth owned more than 30 corgis over her lifetime. and the dogs became part of her public identity. Her first corgi, Susan, was gifted to her on her 18th birthday by her parents in 1944. Susan accompanied the Queen on her honeymoon. and Princess Diana is believed to have described the dogs as “a moving carpet.”.
In 2021, the Queen was gifted two corgi puppies: Muick and Sandy. They were the only corgis to outlive her and are now estimated to be around 6 years old. When the Queen died, Muick and Sandy were photographed on the day of her funeral outside Windsor Castle.
After the Queen’s death, Muick in particular struggled emotionally, Ferguson said in a 2023 interview. Due to grief, she said it took him about a year to “really enjoy himself.”
That link—between the corgis and the monarch who made them iconic—has fueled concern as their ownership and daily routine have come to rest with the Queen’s son who now sits at the center of scandal.
Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal expert, said the corgis are “a link with Queen Elizabeth and were part of her iconic image,” adding that it is sad they are now owned by the son who betrayed her.
Ferguson’s possible final post: September 2025
After inheriting the corgis, Ferguson frequently used social media to show updates about their antics. Sandy and Muick were shown begging for treats, perched on logs, and “thriving” in nature with their tongues hanging out.
In September 2025, shortly before Ferguson stopped posting to Instagram, she shared what is believed to be the last official portrait of the two corgis. The dogs posed with a Union Jack flag, and the caption paid tribute to the late monarch on what would have been the third anniversary of her death.
Ferguson wrote: “Caring for Her Majesty’s beloved corgis is an honour and a daily reminder of the times we shared together,” crediting Gerry Slade as the photographer. Slade declined to comment when reached, and did not confirm where he took the photo or when.
From Windsor to Norfolk: eviction reshaped the dogs’ world
Andrew and Ferguson’s eviction from their shared Windsor mansion came in October, when pressure mounted to cut ties to Andrew amid the Epstein scandal. Though the pair divorced in 1996, they continued living together.
In February, shortly before Andrew’s arrest, he moved to Wood Farm on the royal family’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The move placed him more than 100 miles from London.
Andrew lived at Wood Farm temporarily while his permanent residence, Marsh Farm, also on the estate, was renovated. Marsh Farm sits in Wolferton, in a five-bedroom property widely described as a downgrade from the Windsor home. It is mostly hidden by tall new fencing installed before he moved in.
Andrew remains under police investigation.
Ferguson’s whereabouts are unclear. She has not been seen in public this year, and conflicting reports have placed her in Portugal, Ireland and even at (wrongly) at Priscilla Presley’s LA residence.
As Andrew’s new life became private behind high fences, people began asking whether the corgis were following him into that relative isolation.
A February claim of a “woof” near Sandringham
After the eviction. some Brits expressed concern for the fate of the dogs the Queen cherished. In February. the Daily Mail reported that the “Queen’s corgis have been evicted too. ” claiming the dogs had been spotted on a walk in Sandringham near Andrew’s new home.
What remains unclear is whether the dogs seen on those walks were indeed Sandy and Muick—and if so, who was walking them.
In Wolferton, residents point in different directions
In Wolferton, the alleged new home of the corgis, the village is quiet: bunnies hop along tree-lined streets, birdsong cuts through the summer air, and squirrels and pheasants move among purple rhododendrons in bloom.
Wolferton’s railway station—once part of the royal estate—became a museum after closing in 1969. It had been used by the family for more than a century, including by the late Queen and her sister, Princess Margaret, before it shut.
Down the road from the village church is Marsh Farm. Locals say they have seen Andrew on occasion. When one builder working outside a nearby house was asked about the corgis, he said, “I ain’t seen ’em.”
At the Feathers hotel and pub, about a mile from the Sandringham estate, staff talk more about royal gossip than corgi sightings. There are no corgis to be seen there, but an Afghan hound named Maha has longer legs and arguably better hair.
“Oh, the corgis are about,” said employee Sarah Hayworth behind the bar. She said someone had seen them “the other day.” According to Hayworth. a local reportedly ran into the Queen’s corgis while walking in the woods. She said the dogs were not being walked by Andrew. but by someone believed to be their handler or a member of his staff.
The pub’s owner, John Higginson, 71, backed up Hayworth’s claim even though he hadn’t seen the corgis himself. “I haven’t seen them with my own eyes but I believe Andrew has them,” he said.
Gary Gay. the pub’s gardener. takes Higginson’s dog Maha for walks most days and said he has yet to spot the corgis or Andrew. “It may be easier, around here, to see the king than it is the corgis,” he said. He also said Charles had been in town not too long ago and that he heard local children had recently bumped into the king while he was visiting Sandringham; Gay claimed the children were personally escorted home by the royal entourage.
Since Andrew moved in, Wolferton and the surrounding area have been “crawling” with reporters, Hayworth said. When asked how she feels about living and working so close to Andrew amid the scandal and the media glare thrust upon his new hometown. she replied. “Well. he has to live somewhere. ” while adding that living largely in exile behind high fencing and without much human interaction was “not sustainable.”.
If Andrew comes, the pub says it would treat him like any other customer
Despite the allegations surrounding Andrew, staff at the Feathers described a practical, almost routine approach to dealing with him if he walked through the door.
If Andrew entered the pub, Higginson said he would serve him “as long as he can pay.”
