Queen Elizabeth gifted with a new puppy to celebrate Prince Philip’s 100th
She began by celebrating her 95th birthday in a scaled-down Trooping the Colour event.
Thursday marked the day the Queen’s husband would have celebrated his 100th birthday.
Prince Philip died in April, and while Her Majesty is still understandably reeling from the loss – her family has gone to painstaking lengths to put a smile on her face.
Reports say both Princess Beatrice and Eugenie and their father Prince Andrew gave the royal a six-week-old puppy as a gift ahead of her 'official' birthday.
The sweet gesture followed after one of two new puppies the Queen was given this year earlier, died unexpectedly due to heart problems.
She named them Fergus, as a tribute to her uncle Fergus Bowes-Lyon, who died in WWI, and Muick, after a landmark on the royals' Balmoral estate in Scotland.
Fergus, the dorgi, died in May at just five months of age, which was an extra blow for the Queen following the death of Prince Philip on April 9.
Windsor Castle source is quoted to have said, "The Queen has had a rough time and she is absolutely delighted to have a new corgi."
The name of the royal’s latest fur baby is not yet known.
Queen Elizabeth is known for her love of Pembroke Welsh corgis, and has been surrounded by the breed her entire life.
She was just 18 when she had her first, Susan, which was given her parents.
