The Queen feeds her corgis Tesco basic dog food which costs just 45p, insider reveals

BELONGING to royalty, you would think the Queen’s corgis lived a life of luxury with the pooches calling Buckingham Palace their home.

However, it seems that Her Majesty is rather frugal when it comes to doggy dinner time, an insider has revealed.

Speaking on the Channel 5 documentary Inside Waitrose broadcaster Daisy McAndrew was seen analysing some of the products from the royal warranted store.

Picking up the Forthgrade dog food she reveals the ingredients are wild boar, beef, root vegetable and apple, but says this was too posh for the monarch.

She explained: “We know the royals are huge dog fans, they all have dogs.

“However, we do know that the Queen feeds her dogs Tesco basic dog food.”

A tin of Tesco value dog food will set you back no more than 45p meaning your pooch can easily life a royal lifestyle.

We previously revealed that bizarrely the beloved pets are fed in “order of seniority.”

Animal psychologist Dr Roger Mugford revealed to Town & Country what dinner time at Buckingham Palace looked like for the precious corgis.

"As I watched, the Queen got the corgis to sit in a semi-circle around her, and then fed them one by one, in order of seniority. The others just sat and patiently waited their turn."

The Queen has long been a champion of corgis after she received her first one, called Susan, for her 18th birthday in 1944.

The Queen fell in love with the breed, and all her subsequent corgis can trace their lineage to Susan.

Since then more than 30 of Susan’s line have lapped up the kind of treatment normally reserved for a head of state.

They had their own room at Buckingham Palace, where they slept in wicker beds with the sheets changed daily.

Her final one, Willow, died last year after she stopped breeding them in 2015.

The Queen still has two dogs - Vulcan and Candy - who are a cross-breed between one of her corgis and late sister Princess Margaret’s dachshund Pipkin.
