It is known that the Royal Windsor Horse Show or Royal Windsor Horse Show is the favorite show of the 96-year-old Elizabeth II, which she has personally visited every year for 79 years. However, this year at the dress rehearsal of the holiday, which took place the day before yesterday, she was represented by her granddaughter, 33-year-old Princess Beatrice. Instead of attending the event, Her Majesty chose to visit her own horses the day before, 14 of which, by the way, also take part in the exhibition.
According to The Mirror, the Queen was originally going to watch her five-year-old gelding perform, but it was suddenly canceled just minutes before the start, so Her Majesty, who had already arrived at the exhibition, “changed her mind” and privately went to the royal stables of Windsor Castle . Note that this was the first appearance of Elizabeth in public after the funeral of her husband, Prince Philip, and March of this year. True, there are no photos of this moment in the media yet.
It is reported that for the exit, Elizabeth chose a less bright outfit than usual: she was noticed in a white shirt and a strict blue jacket. Princess Beatrice also appeared at the event in a long silk dress with a floral print and massive diamond earrings.
Recall that earlier this week, the Queen was unable to attend the opening ceremony of the regular session of Parliament due to health problems – according to representatives of Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty is becoming more and more difficult to move every day. At the event, she was replaced by 73-year-old Prince Charles, who read a speech on behalf of the Queen, and 39-year-old Prince William, who came to this ceremony for the first time. Among the public at the same time, rumors spread that Charles was preparing to replace his mother on the throne.
In addition, the official celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen’s reign will also take place without her. In different countries of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty will be represented by Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Countess Sophie of Wessex.
The main Platinum Jubilee celebrations are scheduled for early June. One of the most anticipated events is the traditional appearance of members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. This year we will definitely not see Beatrice’s father, Prince Andrew, who was recently involved in a sex scandal, and 34 other relatives of Her Majesty there. It was previously reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also not invited, but now it became known that the queen did offer the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a place on the balcony among other family members, after which the couple announced that they would come to the UK for the first time with their two children .
The final list of members of the royal family who will appear on the balcony includes 16 names personally chosen by the Queen, including: The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their children, The Earl and Countess of Wessex with their children, Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence, Duke and the Duchess of Gloucester, as well as the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra.
