Britain's Queen Elizabeth II arrives for the funeral of Britain's Prince Philip, who died at the age of 99, at St George's Chapel, in Windsor, Britain, April 17, 2021. - Sputnik International, 1920, 19.05.2021

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - One of two dorgi puppies, 5-weeks-old Fergus, gifted to UK Queen Elizabeth II when her husband Prince Philip was away in hospital, has died, The Sun tabloid reported, citing a Windsor Castle source.

Prince Andrew was said to have presented his mother with two dorgi pups, crosses between a dachshund and a Welsh corgi, in February to cheer her up in the difficult time. One of them was named Fergus in honour of Fergus Bowes-Lyon, the Queen's uncle, who died in World War I. The other, Muick, was named after the lake in Scotland.

In December, the monarch's dorgi Vulcan died, leaving the Queen with one remaining pet dog, Candy. A few years ago she decided not to have new dogs, being afraid that pets will be left without her.
