Reportedly, Corgis are the Queen‘s favourite breed and, therefore, found a place in the official Platinum Jubilee emoji. “Corgis have been synonymous with the Queen, 96, throughout her reign — with stuffed versions even for sale in the palace shops. As a young princess, the future monarch was given her first corgi Susan on her 18th birthday, but it was her father, King George VI, who introduced the first of the little dogs into the family with a corgi named Dookie in 1933,” People stated.
