Queen Elizabeth II is, without a doubt, the world's most famous collector of Corgi dogs. The royal matriarch has owned more than 30 of them in her lifetime [1], and the loss of one of her pets makes headlines around the globe [2]. While Pembroke Welsh Corgis are her favorite breed, the Queen has also had a number of Dachshund mixes. If you're feeling like you need a little pick-me-up, look no further than these vintage photos of the Queen and her beloved Corgis over the years!
