What's Happening?
The Mail on Sunday reported that Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, was allegedly considering cloning the late Queen Elizabeth II's corgis for a U.S. reality TV program. The plan reportedly involved creating replicas of the two dogs, Muick and
Sandy, which would then be sold to other dog enthusiasts. The newspaper described this as a 'tasteless' attempt to capitalize on her royal connections. However, a spokesperson for Ferguson has refuted these claims, stating that she never intended to monetize the corgis in such a manner.

This incident underscores the challenges faced by public figures in managing their image and the media's role in shaping public perception.
