King Charles III is reportedly preparing to take back Queen Elizabeth II's two beloved corgis, namely Muick and Sandy, from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
According to royal-insider reports, the King believes his brother, who was stripped of his royal titles, no longer provides a “stable home…and better judgment” to look after the dogs.
Palace “shaken insiders” quoted by the journalist Rob Shuter say Charles feels the corgis are part of the “Crown's living legacy,” and wants to reclaim them formally.

Sources close to the palace say Charles is worried about instability at Toyal Lodge, the 30-room estate where Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were living and where the corgis formerly resided.
Andrew was supposed to have the custody of the corgis after being stripped of his royal title; however, recent claims from Shuter say that Charles has explored “formal channels” to reclaim the dogs to ensure their care aligns with the Queen’s memory and royal tradition.
King Charles's views toward the corgis appear to have been influenced by the fact that Andrew and Sarah will no longer live together after they depart Royal Lodge.
"Her Majesty liked Fergie, but she was ferociously protective of those dogs," a royal insider told the outlet. "She would never have wanted them left solely with Sarah—and Charles knows that better than anyone."
Andrew, however, is resisting the effort, Shuter alleged.

There is no publicly confirmed plan from the palace about the corgi's future. The claims that Shuter made on his blog were based on statements given by a “shaken insider” of the palace. Buckingham Palace has made no official statement yet.
Meanwhile, other assets in Royal Lodge, such as fine art and royal artefacts, are already being reclaimed by the Crown.
