Queen Elizabeth Is All Smiles At Royal Windsor Horse Show

By ETCanada.com Staff.

Nothing brings a smile to Queen Elizabeth’s face quite like horses do.

The monarch, 95, took in the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Saturday at Windsor Castle and couldn’t contain her glee at the spectacle.

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

Her Majesty’s delight at being able to attend the event in-person once again was obvious for all to see as she was spotted smiling throughout Saturday’s event.

The Queen’s 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 Louise’s passion for carriage driving which she inherited from her late grandfather, Prince Philip.
