According to the Post, while the couple are divorced, they live together at a a residence on the Windsor estate.
A source close to Prince Andrew told the Post that the dogs, named Muick and Sandy, will “return to live at Royal Lodge with the Duke and Duchess. It was the Duchess who found the puppies, which were gifted to Her Majesty by the Duke.”
The source explained that the Duchess “bonded with Her Majesty over dog walking and riding horses and even after her divorce, she would continue her great friendship with Her Majesty, by walking the dogs together and chatting.”
USA Today pointed out the Queen owned more than 30 corgis throughout her lifetime, citing the American Kennel Club.
