The Queen's dogs' funniest names, including Whisky, Disco, and Windsor Loyal Subject

The Queen's love for corgis is so well-known that the breed has become synonymous with the Royal Family. Wherever Queen Elizabeth II went, you could expect her dogs would not be far behind. Companions on her Royal tours, and regular additions to her official portraits, the Queen took pride in her reputation as an animal lover.

In her devotion, she went on to own more than 30 dogs in her lifetime - always having at least one at any time during the 85 years between 1933 and 2018. As such, she had to be inventive when naming her corgis and dorgis - a dachshund and corgi mix - selecting monikers that were weird, wonderful, and everything in between.
