The Queen's corgis are roundly detested by the palace staff, from what I have read. They are spoiled, practically untrained and vicious. Some of them have even bitten Her Majesty, and if I remember right, didn't a pack of them rush out a back door of the palace and kill somebody else's dog who had come to visit?
