Queen Elizabeth Statue Debuted on 98th Birthday, Corgis Added to Base

Queen Elizabeth II has been memorialized in metal in the UK — and so have her famous corgis — a couple of which were added to this new statue of her … which is pretty spot-on.

The 7-foot bronze statue was unveiled over the weekend … depicting a young QE2 with a few pooches at her feet, something she was known for while she was alive. As you may know, Liz loved her corgis … and owned upwards of 30 throughout her lifetime.

That tradition comes through in the artwork here — which now stands outside a library in Rutland … the smallest county in England.

Speaking of corgis, there were plenty present for this debut … a bunch of locals brought out their own little doggies — and all of them looked super cute out there, wagging their tails.

BTW, the statue comes on the Queen’s 2nd posthumous birthday — she would’ve been 98 Sunday, and obviously … she still holds a special place in Britons’ hearts far and wide.

As we reported … QE2 died of old age in 2022, and the nation mourned her for a good long while — with her whole family coming together to bid her farewell, including Prince Harry.
