Prince Andrew and his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie got her the six- week-old male — whose name is not yet known.

The pup was given to her on Thursday, on what would have been Prince Philip’s 100th birthday.

And he has cheered the Queen, who lost her husband in April and then her beloved dorgi Fergus last month.

Fergus — a cross between a corgi and a dachshund — died suddenly aged five months.

Andrew, 61, Beatrice, 32 and Eugenie, 31, bought Fergus and corgi pup Muick for the Queen while Philip was in hospital.

Muick — named after a beauty spot at Balmoral, Scotland — is constantly at the Queen’s side with an older dog Candy.

A Windsor Castle insider last night said: “The Queen has had a rough time and she is absolutely delighted to have a new corgi.

“She was distraught when Fergus died suddenly, but this new dog will be perfect company for Muick going forward.”
