THE Queen is down to her last dog after the death of her beloved dorgi Vulcan.
He passed away at Windsor Castle, leaving her with only one ageing pooch called Candy.
The 94-year-old monarch is said to be “upset” at the loss. She decided to stop breeding dogs in 2018 as she did not want to leave any behind when she dies.
There were also fears she might trip.
News of Vulcan’s death of “old age” comes only days after Prince William and Kate lost their nine-year-old dog Lupo. It is not believed the two dog deaths are connected.
A palace source said: “Clearly the loss of a loved pet is upsetting.”
Vulcan was a cross between a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a dachshund. It is believed the pet was buried at Windsor. Vulcan and Candy featured on the front of Vanity Fair with the Queen in 2018.
The Queen is known as a corgi lover and has owned 30, all descended from Susan — an 18th birthday present.
In April 2018 Willow, a 14th-generation descendant, was put down after a cancer-like illness. The Queen’s last corgi Whisper died six months later.

Her most famous pooch Monty, who appeared in her 2012 Olympics film with James Bond, died only weeks after filming.
An insider said: “Anyone who has owned a dog knows how sad it is to lose them.”
Buckingham Palace did not want to comment.
