Queen Elizabeth II's lifelong love of corgi dogs

Available for over a year

If you've ever seen a film involving a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II, you'll have seen her surrounded by corgis. You could say - along with the crown, and the headscarf - these little dogs were part of her brand. The Royal Family have owned corgis since 1933, when the Queen was a little girl. It was a love that lasted a lifetime and the dog she got for her 18th birthday - Susan - even travelled with her and Prince Philip on honeymoon. Newshour's Audrey Brown has been speaking to Ros Gardiner of the Welsh Corgi League and began by asking how she met Queen Elizabeth II.
