Nothing brings a smile to Queen ElizabethтАЩs face quite like horses do.

The monarch, 95, took in the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Saturday at Windsor Castle and couldnтАЩt contain her glee at the spectacle.

Having attended the horse show ever year since her youth, she was forced to miss last yearтАЩs event due to Covid-19 and watch it virtually.

The QueenтАЩs love for horses is well documented and dates back to her receiving her first horse, a Shetland pony, at the age of four.

The monarch was joined at the show by her son Prince Edward (57), his wife, Sophie, the Countess of Wessex (56), and their daughter Lady Louise Windsor (17).

Among other things, the Wessexes watched a carriage driving event, a fitting choice for the family given Lady LouiseтАЩs passion for carriage driving which she inherited from her late grandfather, Prince Philip.
