Sarah Ferguson’s Rep Clarifies Rumor She Cloned Queen Elizabeth II’s Corgis

Sarah Ferguson is throwing a bone at her critics. 

Shortly after rumors circulated that the former Duchess of York planned to clone Queen Elizabeth II’s two corgis, Muick and Sandy—whom she and husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor adopted after the late monarch died in 2022—for an unknown reality TV series, her representative denied the claims. 

“Ms. Ferguson regularly receives varied TV offers and proposals—often for reality shows which she always declines,” the rep told People in a statement published March 22. “To be absolutely clear, she declined the proposal regarding a reality TV show involving the late Queen’s corgis.”

The statement continued, “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.”

E! News has reached out to Halcyon Media for comment but has not heard back. 

Reports first surfaced on March 21 that alleged Sarah, 66, was in talks to “sell genetic replicas” of the royal dogs in the proposed show. According to the Daily Mail, the project’s synopsis claimed she worked with a “team of scientists and investors” to create a “company called The Queen’s Corgis” eight months after Elizabeth’s death.
