"I thought it was only right to go with quite a regal name for him," corgi lover Charlotte Osten said of her pooch."Hence, he is called George.""I love the jubilee. I love the queen, and I love that the queen's got corgis," Francesca Shortall, another corgi mom at the café told CBS News. The 96-year-old monarch grew up with the stubby-legged dogs, and she's owned more than 30 of them so far. The only drama they've brought to the palace during her reign was some nipping of guests. It should come as little surprise, given their special place in the queen's heart, that the breed will be showcased during this week's four-day national Platinum Jubilee holiday.
