A representative forSarah Fergusondenies that she ever planned to participate in a reality TV show about cloningQueen Elizabeth's corgis.

TheDaily Mailwas first to report the claim in a report published on Saturday, March 21.
"Ms. Ferguson regularly receives varied TV offers and proposals — often for reality shows which she always declines," Ferguson's rep said, adding that "to be absolutely clear, she declined the proposal" reported by theDaily Mailand other outlets "regarding a reality TV show involving the late Queen's corgis."
"She received the proposal following some initial conversations with Halcyon media to discuss a potential programme on dogs generally," the rep continued, "but conversations ended following her declining the opportunity suggested."
TheDaily Mailclaimed that in May 2023 — eight months after the Queendied in September 2022— Ferguson spoke with multiple production companies in the United States about featuring the late Queen's surviving corgis in a show.
A spokesperson for Halcyon Studios did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
A reported synopsis for the proposed series, per Daily Mail, read, "With the help of a team of scientists and investors, Fergie sets up a company called The Queen's Corgis, which aims to clone the Queen's corgis and sell them to other dog lovers around the world. But as she dives deeper into the world of genetics and cloning, Fergie realizes that her business venture is not without controversy…"
"As the series unfolds, viewers will be taken on a journey through the fascinating world of genetics and cloning, as well as the inner workings of the royal family," the reported synopsis continued. "They will witness the highs and lows of Fergie's business venture, and see how her determination and resilience are put to the test.
"But ultimately, they will be left with a sense of hope and wonder, as they witness the incredible bond between humans and animals, and the enduring legacy of the Queen's beloved corgis."

Queen Elizabeth was a lover of animals, owning more than 30 corgis and "dorgi" mixes over the course of her life. Muick and Sandy were the only two to outlive her, however, and were present at her funeral on Sept. 19, 2022.
The status of the late monarch's corgis has been the subject of public interest after Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, 66,officially moved outof their longtime Windsor home, Royal Lodge, in February.
The high-profile pups were last spotted on Feb. 9, per photos published byDaily Mail, which reportedly show Muick and Sandy on a walk at the royal family's Sandringham estate, where Andrew relocated as fresh revelations continue to emerge about the full extent of his ties toconvicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He was arrested on Feb. 19 in relation to a police investigation surroundinga claim that he shared confidential informationin his previous role as a U.K. trade envoy with the disgraced financier, but has continuously denied any wrongdoing, and has not been charged.
Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Ferguson — who has also been the subject of scrutinyfor revelations about her own ties to Epstein—are currently unknown. She has not been seen in public since December 2025.
Months earlier, in September 2025, Ferguson paid tribute to Elizabeth on the third anniversary of her death by sharing a photo of her beloved dogs onInstagram, alongside which she wrote, "Her Majesty will be forever loved, always missed, and never forgotten."
"Not a day goes by when I don't think of the kindness I was unstintingly shown in good times and bad," Ferguson continued. "Caring for Her Majesty's beloved corgis is an honor and a daily reminder of the times we shared together."
Ferguson alsoopened up about adopting the dogsin an exclusive PEOPLE interview in March 2023, joking that "they are national icons, so every time they run chasing a squirrel, I panic."
