The Queen is said to have owned around 30 Corgis during her reign but the family tree from her first dog Susan, reveals more than 60 offspring, each lovingly named by the monarch.
Most she kept, others were given to trusted friends and family members, but each was named by the monarch before they left her home.
And during her 70-year reign, she owned at least one corgi at any given time between the years 1933 to 2018, then again from 2021 until her death on September 8, 2022.

Wherever the Queen went, her corgis and dorgis - a dachshund and corgi mix - were never too far behind and since she owned so many, she was quite inventive when it came to naming each one.
The first time the Queen ever looked after a corgi was when she was just seven years old. As a gift from her parents the Duke and Duchess of York, the young monarch was given a Pembroke Welsh corgi, registered under the name Rozavel Golden Eagle - otherwise known by his nickname Dookie.
And on her 18th birthday, she was gifted ownership of Susan, a corgi from whom a whopping 14 generations of the Queen's beloved corgis were descended.
Following on from Susan, many of the Queen's other corgis were called all sorts of names, from the weird to the wonderful and everything else in between - including Sugar, Honey, Sherry, Whiskey, Bee and Buzz.
There was also a Foxy, Tiny, Mask, Cindy, Rufus, Brush, Pickles, Tinker, Jolly and Sweep.
Other names in Susan's the Corgi's family tree were Socks, Blackie, Geordie, Shadow, Chipper, Smoky, Piper, Fable, Myth, then Spark, Kelpie, Dash, Ranger, Diamond, Apollo, Fay, Mint and Phoenix.
The names didn't stop there, as there was also a Pundit, Rush, Dime, Dawn, Dipper, Disco, Flora, Brush, Minnie, Dagger, Dipper, Linnet, Plover, Wren, Larch, Cedar and Bramble.
And Windsor Loyal Subject and Windsor Quiz alongside more conventional dog names such as Heather, Harris, Emma, Jay, Martin, Rose, Laurel, Jasmine, Holly and Willow.
Willow was the Queen's last Corgi descended from Susan and later followed Candy, and her two remaining Corgis, Muick and Sandy, have been taken in by the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York. The dogs were given to the Queen as a present in 2021 by Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
