Sarah Ferguson has shared an update on the Queen's corgis.

The Duchess of York and her ex-husband Prince Andrew adopted the late monarch's beloved dogs, called Muick and Sandy, after she passed away last month.

Now, Ferguson has marked her 62nd birthday by sharing a series of heartwarming snaps of herself cuddling up with the royal pooches.

In the first post, the mother-of-two can be seen lying in the grass as both corgis stand beside her. She captioned the sweet photo, saying that Muick and Sandy were "the presents that keep giving..."

Clearly, the Duchess felt that one post just wasn't enough to do justice to the furry companions. Her first upload was quickly followed by a carousel of similar images in which she can be seen snuggling up to the corgis.

Ferguson's followers were delighted to see the little dogs looking so well. Many took to the comments section to share birthday wishes and thank the Duchess for keeping them updated on the Queen's pets.

"How heartbreakingly beautiful," one wrote, adding: "They are in safe, gentle hands with Sarah."

"Please keep updated about them. Good to see they are doing fine," another commented.

"Lovely to see the corgis are being loved and happy," added a third.

Queen Elizabeth II had more than 30 dogs during her reign. Her first corgi - named Susan - was an eighteenth-birthday gift from her father King George VI.

Sandy and Muick were also a present, given to the late monarch by Prince Andrew and his daughter Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie when her husband the Duke of Edinburgh passed away.

Following the Queen's own sad passing last month, it was announced that the royal pooches would go to live with the prince and Ferguson at their Royal Lodge home near Windsor Castle. The pair already shared five Norfolk terriers - but if the Duchesses, Instagram posts are anything to go by, that hasn't stopped the corgi's from settling into their new home nicely.
