Queen's corgis to stay in Royal Family but her spaniel set to face a different fate

It has been confirmed what will happen to Queen Elizabeth II's dogs following her death.

Yesterday, it was reported that her second oldest son, Prince Andrew, would be taking over the care of her beloved corgis. A spokeswoman for Prince Andrew said he and Sarah, the Duchess of York, will take on Muick and Sandy - two dogs the late monarch received as gifts from her son.

It is also believed the Queen's third dog, an elderly dorgi named Candy, is likely to be rehomed with the corgis, since they are used to her company. However, there is still speculation over one of the Queen's other dogs - a spaniel named Lissy.

The four-year-old dog currently lives with her trainer, Ian Openshaw. Because of this it is thought that the spaniel will not join the corgis with Prince Andrew.

Lissy is an award-winning cocker spaniel dog. She is listed under the official pedigree name Wolferton Drama, but is also nicknamed Lissy after the queen.

The dog recently won the 91st Kennel Club Cocker Spaniel Championship, seeing off 38 competitors to gain the top spot - making her the Queen's first gundog champion.
