Photograph of a full length portrait of Queen Elizabeth II (b.1926) when Princess Elizabeth seated on a bench with her corgi Dookie. Princess Elizabeth faces the camera, her head turned three quarters to the right. She holds Dookie on her lap, the dog positioned on her right. The corgi similarly looks to the right. Princess Elizabeth wears a floral dress with frilled neckline and sleeves. The photograph was taken in the garden of 145 Piccadilly, London.
Jane and another dog called Dookie were the first royal corgis. They were acquired in 1933 at the request of Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, who had enjoyed playing with a Pembroke corgi owned by the children of Viscount Weymouth.Dookie acquired his nickname when he was sent away for training as it was known he was destined for the household of the Duke of York. -
