Better yet, who is the most famous corgi in the world?
If you’re asking yourself any of these questions, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article, we’re going to take a closer look at the most famous corgis in the world, on and off the screen.
Let’s go!
Who is the most famous corgi?
Rather than one single famous corgi, there is in fact a group of corgis that are hands down the most famous corgis in the world.
Those are the corgis that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. Or “royal corgis” as they’re known.
The Queen was a huge fan of corgis from a young age.
She was first introduced to them by Thomas Henry Thynne, the Marquess of Bath, and instantly fell in love.
Her father, King George VI, brought home Dookie (Elizabeth’s first corgi) in 1933.
This started a lifelong passion for corgis. The Queen owned more than 30 corgis from her accession in 1952 until her death in 2022.
These famous corgis were called Susan, Sugar, and Honey to name just three.
Who is the most popular corgi on Instagram?
The most popular corgi on Instagram (and TikTok and Reddit for that matter) is Maxine or ‘Mad Max’.
Maxine the fluffy corgi first gained notoriety after her owner shared videos of her falling asleep in a backpack on the New York subway.
Those videos quickly went viral and today, Maxine has a total combined following of 5 million followers across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Her owner went on to create a backpack for dogs that is better structured and more comfortable than others on the market.
So, Maxine isn’t just the most popular corgi on Instagram.
She’s also the face of the multi-million dollar brand, Little Chonk.
What TV show has a famous corgi?
The most famous corgi on TV is without a doubt, Cheddar the corgi from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
I can’t tell you the amount of times Winston and I get stopped in the street and asked if we’ve seen the show!
Cheddar has been played by several corgis throughout the show’s run.
From Season Episode 5 “Halloween IV” onwards, Cheddar was played by Stewart the corgi, who embodied the role the longest.
While Cheddar might be small in size, he’s become one of the most famous corgis on TV because of his role as Captain Holt’s adorable sidekick.
The corgi has come to the rescue on numerous occasions, including being ring bearer at Jake and Amy’s wedding.
Michael W. Miliotti (Stewart’s trainer) revealed that Stewart would repeat mistakes “over and over again just because he can get the laugh.”
When Stewart passed away aged 13, he was replaced by his sister Stella.

Ein is played by two corgis from New Zealand, Charlie and Harry.
