A pampered pooch who has more than 50 outfits has been taken on a private London tour to celebrate the coronation.

Yasmin El-Saie, 44, was gifted Chilli the Chihuahua in 2012 as a wedding gift from her ex-husband and the two have been inseparable since.

Along with his new sibling, Sukhi, aged four, the two pampered pets have 50 outfits to coordinate with their fashion-loving mom.

Recently, Chilli and Yasmin took to the streets of London starting at Buckingham Palace itself and visiting major sites.

The duo turned heads as they traveled in a "royal carriage" fit for a king as part of visiting Big Ben, London Eye, and Horse Guards Parade.

Yasmin said that she knew Chilli was the pooch for her after she "recognized his soul."

Yasmin, a content creator, from West London, said: "When I first met Chilli he made a beeline for me and put his little paws on my knees.

"He looked up at me and I knew we were meant to be.

"It was like I recognized his soul, there was something about him and his energy, the way he was I understood - I spoke to him"

Yasmin started showcasing Chilli's life on Facebook and he immediately became a hit with users gaining over 10,000 followers.

During the pandemic, Yasmin wanted Chilli to have a friend and adopted Sukhi from a rescue center.

Yasmin said: "Chilli is a very anxious, reactive dog. I had no idea that dogs could have mental health issues too.

"I had to start understanding what he is experiencing and what I am doing wrong.

"I wanted a friend for him but it would have to be a dog with the opposite temperament to him.

"I was looking for a girl with sweet, loving and caring energy. She has turned out to be a massive blessing.

"She is such a happy relaxed dog, the two of them have such a bond."

Recently, Yasmin took Chilli on a tour of London to celebrate everything British.

Chill made his way around all the major landmarks including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Eye and Horse Guards Parade in a royal carriage fit for a king.

Yasmin said: “It turned into a proper pupparazzi affair. Everyone started to get involved, fascinated by this little handsome dog and his golden carriage.

"Being a Londoner we sometimes forget the amazing spots of our great city and the Royal heritage present here.

"Living here it is so easy to forget about all of this when you go about your daily life."

Yasmin said that both her pooches have around 50 outfits and they love the lifestyle.

She said: "On average, I spend a lot of money on them.

"I don't know the figure but I know it is a lot. I don't have kids so for me they are like my children.

"I am their guardian, they go their whole lives and only know us we are their everything.

"I want to give them everything and I will do everything I can for them.

"It is a real special and privileged experience to take care of a dog and serve them.

"Nobody greets you the way a dog does when you get home."
