I think you'll find that there was a mistake about the corgi which was killed. It was not one those diminutive welsh dogs, but Mr Cyril Hackstraw a CORGI (Council for Registered Gas Installers) gas fitter.
The princess sent a nice bunch of flowers and an invitation to one of her garden parties to his widow who wrote back saying that she didn't really mind as her husband had a very large life insurance policy.

Since everything has worked out fine (and Mrs Hackstraw has gone on a world cruise with a young lad she met through a dating agency), I don't see why people must keep harping on about the incident - after it's not as if it was a poor dumb animal that got killed.
