Pets by Royal Appointment [electronic resource] : The Royal Family and their Animals
Hoey, Brian2013
eBook
or countless monarchs and their consorts, dogs, cats, horses and even the occasional parrot have acted as constant, faithful companions, unquestioning allies and surrogate children. With intimate anecdotes and fascinating detail, royal expert Brian Hoey describes the mini palaces provided for the Queen’s pampered corgis; Princess Anne’s badly behaved bull terriers; the wild animals – including crocodiles, hippopotami and an elephant – presented to princes and princesses; a regal passion for all things equine; and the pigeon awarded a military medal for its efforts in the Second World War. From the corgi dynasty to the Jack Russells rescued from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Pets by Royal Appointment presents a very British family besotted with all creatures great and small.
