KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: A chill in the air for Britain's royal family, and it has nothing to do with the winter weather. One of Queen Elizabeth's prized corgis was attacked by a bull terrier belonging to her daughter, Princess Ann. CNN's Richard Quest with the latest on a pooch that may be on its way from the dog house to the tower.</s>RICHARD QUEST, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Britain's royal family love their dogs. The queen's favorites are her corgis, even when she's greeting England's victorious rugby team. The dogs have the run of the palace. Princess Ann, her daughter, prefers the more robust terrier. The princess and her dogs had just arrived at Sandringham for Christmas. When terrier met corgi, the fur flew. And it was the monarch's pet that lost. A severe bite to the back leg meant the royal corgi, called Pharos, had to be destroyed. The queen is said to be devastated. For Princess Ann, it's not the first time her dog has got her in trouble. Dotty, the dangerous dog, as she's become known, landed the princess in court last year after attacking two children in Windsor Great Park. The princess was fined. The first time a member of the royal family has been convicted for centuries. And Dotty was ordered to be kept on a leash. Then, the judge warned, Dotty would be destroyed if she launched a similar attack. (on camera): This morning's British papers make it clear that the queen, who is still getting over an operation on her knees and her face, is shocked and deeply upset. She had already made up Pharos' Christmas stocking when chocolate drops and doughnuts. Now, Pharos is dead and monarch and daughter have to decide the fate of Dotty. Richard Quest, CNN, London.
