11 - All the Queen’s Corgis

Americrown Dreams - A British Royal Family Podcast

This week, as the world recovers from the recent barrage of royal news, join Katelyn and Jenna as they discuss two of their favorite things: royals and dogs! Katelyn starts by taking us back to the time of Henry VIII, when greyhounds were the palace’s pups of choice, and goes through the history of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, from the kings from whom the breed gets its name, to Queen Victoria’s best friend, Dash. Jenna reviews the dogs that followed, including the Queen’s brood of Corgis and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor’s pugs. P.S. Apologies to pug lovers out there--We know it’s not the dogs’ fault they can’t breathe! At the top of the show, we go over some recent appearances from Charles, William, and Harry, talk about Kate’s latest (sort-of) public appearance, and analyze another piece of compelling evidence that Meghan and Harry are headed for the altar!
