The Pembroke Welsh Corgis were featured in a skit featuring James Bond and the Queen herself — but no one was paying attention to those guys.

A source tells me Queen Elizabeth was offered trained Corgis for her @DannyBoyleFilm appearance, but insisted on her own. #OpeningCeremony

Also, if the opening ceremony was just an hour of royal corgis doing their corgi thing, I'd be totally okay. #London2012

Aw, quit hating on the queen, you guys! She's 700 years old and just wants to get in bed with some corgis. #metoo
