Princess Elizabeth was not yet queen when she embarked on her honeymoon trip with Prince Philip. Nonetheless, amidst the fanfare of the 1947 wedding between Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, there was one secret little known to the general public at the time. Travelling with the newlyweds was Susan, the corgi who would become the foundation of Queen Elizabeth II's famous line of corgis.
According to Reader’s Digest, royal historian Penny Junor, in her book titled All the Queen’s Corgis , said that Susan was so beloved by Elizabeth that she allegedly took her with her on their honeymoon, hiding the animal among the rugs in the royal coach. It is said to be one of the most fascinating accounts involving the former queen's love for corgis.
