The end of an era. Queen Elizabeth II is mourning the death of his last Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Whisper, who died at the age of 12 at Windsor Castle earlier this week, a source confirms We weekly.
Whisper was adopted by the 92-year-old king in 2016. The dog originally belonged to Queen's caretaker Bill Fenwick. Fenwick's wife, Nancy, cared for Elizabeth's dogs during her travels for royal duties.
