Queen had 'powerful influence' over corgis and didn't need help, royal worker says

It's no secret that the Queen had a favourite breed of dog - she owned more than 30 corgis during her reign and they often joined her on trips across the UK and abroad. Her Majesty owned her first corgi at the age of seven in 1933, and went on to treasure pets for the next eight decades of her life.

During the 1980s, Queen Elizabeth II hired animal psychologist, Dr Roger Mugford, to help control her 11 pet dogs. The mischievous corgis had formed a pack at Buckingham Palace and would often play up - though Roger believed it was very common for a large group of animals.
