Buckingham Palace starts selling toys for dogs in nod to Queen's love of corgis

Corgi blimey... Buckingham Palace is selling gifts for posh pooches, pampered ponies and cosseted kitties.

Coats, blankets and even bow ties are on offer, along with bandanas, treat pouches, bowls, baskets and toy mice.

A parrot print dog toy will set you back £19.95 while the pink dog print pet blanket is priced at £35.

The new items join the gold-edged Buckingham Palace china dog bowl (£25) and the leather engraved dog collar at £35.

The new pink and purple print items join a tartan range the Palace has been flogging for years.

Many promo pics include corgis – the Queen’s favourite breed for decades.

Recycled materials are used where possible.

A spokesman for the Royal Collection Trust said: “The range has been created in collaboration with designer Rory Hutton, a UK based designer inspired by history, art, architecture, theatre, opera and dance, and Creature Clothes, a UK-based company who specialise in ethical and environmentally friendly pet products.

“Materials used in production of the range include UK-printed cotton and recycled content polar fleece.

“The bone dog toy and mouse cat toy in are made using fabric offcuts in order to reduce waste.”

Last week, The Queen was reportedly given a new corgi puppy by Prince Andrew a month after the last one he gave her died.

The six-week-old male replaces dorgi Fergus who sadly died from a heart problem aged just five months.

The unnamed puppy was presented to the Queen on June 10, on what would have been Prince Philip's 100th birthday, the Sun reports.
