Corgi owners claim their beloved pooches are acting different since the Queen's death

Corgi owners around the country have revealed how their pooches are acting differently following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Many owners have taken to social media claiming their dogs have even been mourning the loss of Britain's longest serving mourning.

Changed behaviours people reported were their dogs getting closer and more affectionate, as well as laying on their laps more than usual, the Daily Record reports.

One member of a Corgi owner group on Facebook wrote: "Mine are upset about the Queen's passing but excited about the new Prince and Princess of Wales.

"Also we're very relieved that the Yorks are looking after the Queen's corgis as we were going to offer.

"It's confusing for all corgis, it's difficult enough for them having to understand English rather than Welsh and now mourning doesn't even mean breakfast time."

One owner even suggested communicating with the pooches in Welsh to "avoid confusion" between the words morning and mourning.

They added: "Morning - boreu. And mourning - galaru."

Hundreds of people have liked, shared and commented on the viral post - but not all are convinced.

Emma Morgann said: "Oh my days. Are there really people like this in the world?"

Jennifer O Neill commented: "Definitely too far, some people need therapy."

While Lizzie Coyle said: "Biggest load of s***e I've seen yet."

Queen Elizabeth was renowned for owning to famous dog breed, which became synonymous with her, and reportedly owned more than 30 corgis during her 70 year reign.

Upon passing the queen left behind four of her beloved dogs, including two corgis, a dachshund and corgi mix - known as dorgi - and a cocker spaniel.

The two corgis, Sandy and Muick and the dorgi are now set to be looked after by Prince Andrew and his daughter Princess Beatrice.
