A representative for Sarah Ferguson is setting the record straight on whether she planned to participate in a reality TV show focused on cloning the late Queen Elizabeth II’s famous corgis.
The Daily Mail reported on Saturday, March 21, that Ferguson was set to star in a reality series following the royal as she sold clones of corgis Muick and Sandy. (Ferguson and her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, had previously taken in the dogs after Elizabeth’s death in 2022.)
“Ms. Ferguson regularly receives varied TV offers and proposals — often for reality shows which she always declines,” her rep told People in a Sunday, March 22, statement.
The message noted that “to be absolutely clear” Ferguson “declined the proposal” reported by the Daily Mail “regarding a reality TV show involving the late Queen’s corgis.”
“She received the proposal following some initial conversations with Halcyon media to discuss a potential programme on dogs generally, but conversations ended following her declining the opportunity suggested,” the statement concluded.
Us Weekly reached out to Ferguson’s reps for comment.
The Daily Mail claimed that eight months after Elizabeth died, Ferguson spoke with multiple production companies in the United States about the corgis being involved in a potential show. Per the Daily Mail, a reported synopsis for the series noted that Ferguson set up a “company called The Queen’s Corgis, which aims to clone the Queen’s corgis and sell them to other dog lovers around the world.”
“But as she dives deeper into the world of genetics and cloning, Fergie realizes that her business venture is not without controversy…” the alleged synopsis reads. “As the series unfolds, viewers will be taken on a journey through the fascinating world of genetics and cloning, as well as the inner workings of the royal family. They will witness the highs and lows of Fergie’s business venture, and see how her determination and resilience are put to the test.”
The synopsis concludes, “But ultimately, they will be left with a sense of hope and wonder, as they witness the incredible bond between humans and animals, and the enduring legacy of the Queen’s beloved corgis.”
Ferguson, who had gifted the pups to Elizabeth with Andrew, has been candid about the honor of taking in the late monarch’s furry friends.
“I have seven dogs and two of them are corgis [and] five of them are Norfolk terriers. They’re all doing very well,” Ferguson exclusively told Us in 2024. “They’re all very lovely and very, very loved!”
While detailing how she takes care of the animals, Ferguson gushed that the pets “do all get on with each other.”
Sarah Ferguson is the proud caretaker of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved corgis. “I have seven dogs and two of them are corgis [and] five of them are Norfolk terriers. They’re all doing very well,” the Duchess of York, 64, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, May 1, at the Global Citizen Prize Awards […]
“It’s quite a lot of work, but it’s work I love,” she said. “I have many dog people around me who also love them and love to take care of them, so I can share and I do share.”
One year earlier, Ferguson shared that the corgis “can sense the late Queen’s presence at Royal Lodge, Windsor.” (Elizabeth died in 2022 at the age of 96.)
“It makes me think Queen Elizabeth is passing by and laughing. I’m not being weird,” Ferguson told the U.K.’s Express in April 2023. “At night they like their own space. I respect that they probably do miss her. I miss her too.”
