Queen Elizabeth II's Corgi Dies

LONDON -- Buckingham Palace says one of Queen Elizabeth II's corgis, who took a star turn in the James Bond sketch during the Olympics opening ceremony, has died.

Monty and two other of the queen's beloved corgis appeared in a James Bond sketch during the opening ceremony, greeting Daniel Craig's James Bond as he arrived at the palace to accept a mission from the monarch.

The palace on Sunday confirmed that Monty – who was previously owned by the Queen Mother – had died. It did not provide details on when or how Monty died, or the age of the dog, but added that another of the queen's pets, dachshund-corgi crossbreed Cider, also had died.

With the death of Monty, Queen Elizabeth II now has two corgis in the palace – Willow and Holly – both of whom also appeared in the Olympics sketch.

PICs know Monty was well loved and will be sadly missed .

Sympathy to the Queen and her family. No matter what your station in life, the loss of a pet is difficult.

Pets are very important to people royal or otherwise. Pets are often more reliable and protective than humans I am sorry to say.
