英国女王对于柯基犬的喜爱可以说是尽人皆知,而在女王奶奶的强势代言下,柯基犬也成为了英国王室的一大象征~
女王前前后后一共养过30多只柯基犬,而令人难过的是,女王最后一只柯基犬已于近日去世……
The Queen has been left heartbroken after the death of her last corgi. Willow, who was almost 15, was put to sleep at Windsor Castle on Sunday.
The dog had a cancer-related illness and the Queen did not want her beloved pet to suffer further. The death brings to an end a remarkable history between the Queen and corgis dating back more than eight decades.
女王最近去世的这只柯基名叫Willow,先前还和女王一起在伦敦奥运会开幕式的短剧中出过镜↓↓↓
而它也是女王第一只柯基犬Susan的第14代后代,当年,Susan作为女王18岁的生日礼物,来到了她身边。
女王相当喜欢Susan,就连当年和菲利普亲王度蜜月都要带上它,而Susan和她的后代们也见证了女王人生中许多重要时刻。
就算公务再忙,女王也会尽可能地抽出时间来照顾她的柯基们,也经常被拍到带着柯基遛弯的照片↓↓↓
这次Willow的去世让女王奶奶相当伤心,据相关人士透露,对于女王而言,Willow是她和父母以及自己的童年时光的最后一点联系,而Willow的去世就像是一个时代的终结。(It is probably because Willow was the last link to her parents and a pastime that goes back to her own childhood. It really does feel like the end of an era.)
大概在珍爱的柯基面前,女王才永远都是那个无忧无虑的小女孩吧~
