It's no secret that the Queen's corgis lead a charmed life. After all, each one sleeps in a wicker basket that is elevated from the ground so as to avoid drafts in the Corgi Room. But if you thought their sleeping arrangements were luxurious, wait until you hear about their dining habits.

Former royal chef Darren McGrady, who served the Queen for 11 years, revealed juicy tidbits about their, well, juicy tidbits to Hello! magazine, saying that the corgis had quite the posh diet:

"When I worked at the palace, we actually had a royal menu for the dogs. It would be chosen and sent to us in the kitchen every month by Mrs. Fennick, who took care of all the dogs at Sandringham. It would list each day what the dogs were to have. One day it would be beef, the next day chicken, the next day lamb, the next day rabbit and it alternated through those days. The beef would come in, we would cook it, dice it into really fine pieces and then we did same with the chicken. We'd poach them, and again chop them really, really small to make sure there were no bones so the dogs wouldn't choke."

In case an alternating menu of finely-cut lamb, rabbit, and chicken weren't enough, these succulent meats would often be freshly brought in by members of the royal family themselves.

"Prince William and Prince Harry used to shoot rabbits on the Windsor Estate, so we'd get the rabbits, they'd have to be cleaned and then cooked," he said. "Some days some of the dogs were —shall we say for a better word — a little bunged up so we'd have to add cabbage on the menu, and then other days we'd actually put rice in there for the other way. It really was a case of following the menu."

The daily scheduling was quite strict as well.

"Every day the Queen's footman would come down to the kitchen at around two or three in the afternoon, and take the dog food upstairs to feed the royal corgis. They each had their own bowls," he said. "The Queen would feed them herself, I think after she'd had her tea."

At times, it seems that all of this pampering might have gone to their heads, as they could be fickle in temperament.

"The chefs didn't like the corgis! They're yappy, little yappy nasty dogs," he said. "They're pack dogs so they'd always fight with the Queen Mother's dogs or Princess Anne's dogs. Places like Sandringham, the dogs would come into the kitchen. You'd often think, 'Come on get out of the way, otherwise I'll put you in the oven!'"

"The worst time was whenever we flew to Balmoral, flew up to Aberdeen," he added. "We'd all have to be in our suits because we were traveling with the Queen and she'd take the dogs up and the dogs would lay by your feet and you'd get dog hairs everywhere. You'd try and push them away without them yelping at you."

The Queen's love of corgis is well-known around the world. She received her first corgi, Susan, when she was 18, and has owned over 30 throughout her 64-year-reign.

In July 2015, it was reported that she would no longer be breeding corgis as she does not want any new ones to survive her death. Sadly, she recently lost one of the precious pups, Holly, leaving her with just one corgi, Willow, and two dorgis (a dachshund/ corgi mix), Candy and Vulcan. Suffice to say that while they are alive, however, they will live extraordinary well.
