These cute corgis were the real stars at Crown premiere

From Digital Spy

The entire cast of The Crown got together to launch the second season at a red carpet premiere on Tuesday night, but there were two unexpected guests who managed to steal the spotlight.

While stars Claire Foy, Vanessa Kirby and Matt Smith were there to celebrate the highly-anticipated return of the Netflix series, it was the show's beloved corgis who attracted the most attention at the Leicester Square event.

As the Queen is known for her lifelong love of corgis, it was a fitting tribute that the dogs were given a grand entrance into the screening.

They received the most attention from Billy Jenkins, who plays a young version of Prince Charles in the forthcoming series.

It's safe to say the dogs were in their element, but this isn't the only time the corgis have enjoyed their moment of fame. Their red carpet appearance comes after Netflix teased the second season with a rather cute video.

Set to the dialogue of Foy's Elizabeth II and Smith's Prince Philip, the video shows a sweet interaction of their Corgi counterparts – complete with regal attire.
