"The Queen," featuring Helen Mirren's Oscar-winning performance as Queen Elizabeth II, details the queen's public and private response to the 1997 death of Princess Diana. It also features the award-winning turn of Poppy, Anna, Alice, Oliver and Megan - five corgis who always brought much-needed levity to "The Queen" and helped to paint a richer picture of Elizabeth's private side.
The dogs won Britain's first-ever Fido Awards for canine cinematic excellence. Trust me, they had to scramble about in the scenes at the queen's country estate. And as you can see from the still photo above, they love the queen. Elizabeth has owned more than 30 of the breed during her 55-year reign.
Mirren, who is filming in the United States, sent a message praising her co-stars.
"I know one should avoid acting with animals and children, but these little chaps were a pleasure to work with and deserve all the plaudits for their fine performances," she said.
If you have a corgi, send me a photo to pets@delawareonline.com, and tell us what you like about this breed.
