When Vegas met Princess Anne she was equally taken, bending to hold the dog’s front paws and asking playfully, "Is it everyone or is it just me?" Wilson explained Vegas is her first hearing service dog and has been life-changing—Wilson told the Princess Royal, "Oh, she really helps me. I am a teacher, and she has changed my life." A brief moment of lawn-digging from Vegas drew an apology from Wilson that Anne brushed off as "quite all right."
The encounter also echoed the late Queen Elizabeth’s long affection for dogs; the monarch had more than 30 over her life. After the Queen’s death in 2022, two corgis, Sandy and Muick, remained in Prince Andrew’s care as his living arrangements shifted to the Sandringham estate, Marsh Farm, following adjustments to his titles and Royal Lodge lease.
