Queen's new spaniel Lissy may not live with Prince Andrew and royal corgis

While Prince Andrew is said to be taking care of the Queen's corgis following her passing, it remains unclear what will happen to Her Majesty's lesser-known cocker spaniel Lissy, who only joined the royal family earlier this year.

As the nation mourns the queen's death, many royal fans have been left wondering what will happen to Her Majesty's beloved pet dogs. The Duke of York and his ex-wife have now confirmed they will care for her two welsh 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 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.

Though it is also possible that Candy may go to a member of the Queen's staff.

There is still speculation over where her majesty's lesser known coker spaniel, named Lissy, will live following her death.

It is believed the four-year-old dog currently lives with her trainer, Ian Openshaw, and therefore may not find herself moving in with her fellow canine siblings and Prince Andrew.

In February, queen elizabeth II broke her dedicated corgi tradition to welcome award-winning cocker spaniel Lissy into her family.

Seven years ago, the Queen made a touching sacrifice to her beloved pets when she expressed her decision to no longer breed corgis - so she wouldn't "leave any young dog behind".

Royal aide Monty Roberts, who advises the Queen on her horses, told Vanity Fair magazine in 2015: "She didn't want to have any more young dogs. She didn't want to leave any young dog behind. She wanted to put an end to it."

He added: "I have no right to try to force her into continuing to bring on puppies if she doesn't want to."

While the Queen stuck to her word and didn't breed anymore corgi puppies, she did welcome three new dogs, corgis Muick and Sandy and cocker spaniel Lissy.
