The Royal family has always had a very special relationship with their pets: from the lapdog who hid under Mary, Queen of Scots' skirts at her execution to Caesar, King Edward VII's terrier who took precedence over 9 Kings at his masters' State Funeral. The Royal servants, however, are not always as fond of the pampered pooches.
From baboons roaming free around the Tower of London to the Queen's multi-award-winning racing pigeons, the Royal love of animals extends well beyond the corgis that have been resident at Buckingham Palace for the last 60 years.
