Corgi Capers: Queen Elizabeth's Furry Footmen Go Viral After Palace Prank

Buckingham Palace is known for its stoic guards, gleaming silverware, and, of course, the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. But this weekend, the internet went into a royal frenzy over a different kind of palace resident: the Queen's corgis.

It all started with a seemingly innocuous tweet from the official Royal Family account. A short video clip showed a series of impeccably dressed footmen scurrying down a grand hallway, dodging furniture and muttering under their breath. But upon closer inspection, viewers realized something pawsomely peculiar – these weren't footmen at all, but a pack of Pembroke Welsh corgis, outfitted in miniature footman uniforms complete with tiny red jackets and black hats.

The internet promptly melted. The video, titled "Corgi Capers at the Palace," racked up millions of views within hours. "#RoyalCorgiTakeover" and "#CorgiButlers" trended worldwide. Hilarious comments flooded social media, with many users speculating on the cause of the canine caper.

"Did someone say 'walkies'?" quipped one user.

"Pretty sure this is how they get extra treats," another joked.

The Palace remained tight-lipped about the incident, though a source close to the Royal family hinted that the Queen herself might have been behind the prank. "Her Majesty has a well-known sense of humor," the source said, "and the corgis adore her. It wouldn't be a surprise if she orchestrated a bit of fun for them."

While the true story behind the Corgi Capers may never be fully known, one thing is certain: the Queen's furry footmen have stolen the hearts of the internet. Expect to see corgi-themed merchandise popping up everywhere - from teacups to phone cases - and perhaps even a special corgi appearance during the upcoming Trooping the Colour ceremony.
