Queen’s Corgi From London Olympics James Bond Mini-Film Dies

James Bond, The Queen and Her Corgis

 

Oh dear.  This is veddy, veddy sad news indeed.  One of Queen Elizabeth II's beloved corgis has died, along with a weinerdog-corgi mix.

Monty and two other corgis greeted actor Daniel Craig, playing 007 in the short film.  The death of Monty, 13, who was previously owned by the Queen Mother, leaves two corgis in the palace.  The royal family's ties with the breed began when the future George VI bought his first Pembroke corgi in 1933.

The palace announced the death of Monty and of Cider, a dorgi, or dachsund-corgi cross-breed.

In the short film, screened ahead of the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Games, the dogs ran down the stairs and performed tummy rolls.

They then stood as a helicopter took off for the Olympic stadium, carrying Bond and a stunt double of the monarch.

Willow and Holly are the two remaining corgis.  And two dorgis, Candy and Vulcan, remain at the palace.

Hmmm...I wonder why both doggies died?  The Palace is only making the statement, but without specific details.
