Whisper's pet was 12 years old. He died from a disease that began to develop several weeks ago, said UNN. The Queen took the dog into care in 2016, when her previous owner died - a huntsman in the royal residence Sandringham. Whisper was the last dog whose pedigree was derived from the first dog, Susan, which Elizabeth II presented for the 18th anniversary in 1944 her father, George VI. A few years ago, the queen decided not to make new pets.. The 92-year-old monarch fears that after her death they will be left without a mistress. Now Elizabeth still has two dogs, Candy and Vulcan, but these are the half-breeds of corgi and dachshunds.
