Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is reportedly preparing for a potential legal battle with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, over custody of the late Queen Elizabeth II's beloved Corgis, Sandy and Muick. According to a source speaking to OK! Magazine, the dispute centers on the ownership of the dogs, who were originally gifted to the Queen by Andrew and his daughters.
An insider claims that Ferguson has been sharing care duties for the dogs since the Queen's passing but that there is no formal written agreement outlining ownership. The source states that Sarah is seeking "recognition" and "at least just as much time" with the Corgis. Meanwhile, it's reported that Prince Andrew considers the matter closed.
The reported tension comes amid a period where Prince Andrew has kept a low profile following his arrest by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in a public office. He was released after questioning and has denied any wrongdoing.
Despite the standoff, another palace insider suggested Ferguson is not aiming to create drama but simply wants a fair arrangement regarding the dogs. Care options involving their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, have also been discussed.
