Sarah Ferguson has denied claims she planned to take part in a reality television series involving cloning Queen Elizabeth's corgis.

The former Duchess of York, 66, was reported to have considered a programme centred on cloning the late monarch's dogs, Muick and Sandy, which she and her former husband Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, 66, took in after Queen Elizabeth's death in 2022.

But in a statement to PEOPLE, a representative for Sarah said she declined the idea following initial discussions with Halcyon Studios about a broader programme focused on dogs.

The former duchess' representative said: "Ms. Ferguson regularly receives varied TV offers and proposals - often for reality shows which she always declines."

The spokesperson added "to be absolutely clear" she "declined the proposal" regarding a reality TV show involving the late Queen's corgis.

They admitted Sarah "received the proposal following some initial conversations with Halcyon media to discuss a potential programme on dogs generally", but stressed "conversations ended following her declining the opportunity suggested".

It was reported Sarah had spoken with multiple production companies in the United States in May 2023 about a possible series involving the corgis.

A spokesperson for Halcyon Studios did not respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE.

According to the Daily Mail, a synopsis for the proposed show stated: "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."

It continued: "But as she dives deeper into the world of genetics and cloning, Fergie realizes that her business venture is not without controversy… ."

The synopsis added: "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.

"They will witness the highs and lows of Fergie's business venture, and see how her determination and resilience are put to the test."

Queen Elizabeth was known for her long-standing affection for corgis, having owned more than 30 during her lifetime. Muick and Sandy were the two dogs that outlived her and were present at her funeral in September 2022.

The corgis have remained a subject of public attention following reports that Sarah and Andrew moved out of their home, Royal Lodge, in February.

Sarah last publicly addressed the dogs in September 2025, sharing an Instagram post in tribute to Queen Elizabeth.

She wrote: "Her Majesty will be forever loved, always missed, and never forgotten."

Sarah added: "Not a day goes by when I don't think of the kindness I was unstintingly shown in good times and bad."

In an interview with PEOPLE in March 2023, Sarah said of the dogs: "They are national icons, so every time they run chasing a squirrel, I panic."
