Royal corgis are the Pembroke Welsh Corgi dogs owned by Elizabeth II and her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Fond of corgis since she was a small child, Elizabeth II has owned more than 30 corgis since she became Queen of the Commonwealth realms in 1952. In 2007, Elizabeth II had five corgis: Monty, Emma, Linnet, Willow, and Holly.[1]

Coverage[]

The royal corgis were featured in Outbreak starting in 2 weeks after people.

In Buckingham Palace, the Queen's corgis have ascended to the throne, and are now the magnificent building's sole inhabitants. Buckingham Palace contains 78 bathrooms, and their toilets serve as a life-saving water source, as thanks to their long bodies, the corgis can easily climb or jump up to get to the water. For food, the corgis manage to find the royal kitchen in the palace's basement, a maze of rooms full of food that can last up to a few months.

In 3 months after people, the Queen's corgis have made the most of the stores of food in the royal pantry and kitchen that originally stocked for banquets up to 600 people and daily meals for 400 palace staff. However, the food is now running out, and the only way to survive is to venture out into the city. Using their initiative, the corgis explore the halls of Buckingham Palace, and soon find a way out. John Anderson stated that corgis who live lives as pets would struggle to live on their own.

The show then explains that corgis were originally bred as working dogs on Welsh farms in order to round up herds of sheep and cattle, making the genetic trait of the royal corgis to be able to survive in the wild. John Anderson stated that corgis as a working dog are able to move very well having sharp teeth and efficient digestive system, allowing to survive quite well without people. While the royal corgis are still on a wild, they are able to survive in the British Isles since large predators like wolf and bear are extinct in the British Isles for centuries along with rabies, which was eradicated in the early 20th century.

The royal corgis fate is revealed in 50 years after people when the descendants of the royal corgis still prowl the suburbs of London. But the descendants of the royal corgis are no longer a distinct breed, as like other dogs, decades of free interbreeding has transformed their descendants into mixed-breed dogs that live as free-ranging wild hounds.
