horses – Queen Elizabeth II is known as a great horse lover. This weekend, from. From May 13 to 15, 2022, she was a guest at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in London (GBR) for the 78th time in a row (the show was canceled in 2020 due to corona). She had canceled the opening of parliament ceremony on Tuesday for health reasons. But when, if not at the age of 96, can a woman set priorities!
Queen Elizabeth II was a guest at the first Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1943, and since then every year (!) when the traditional event has been held. Also this year, the well-known horse lover attended the evening event “A Gallop Through History”, where stars like Helen Mirror (who played the Queen as an actress in the film) or Hollywood actor Tom Cruise performed, and visibly enjoyed it.
A cancellation had previously been expected, as the 96-year-old had to forego the opening of parliament ceremony on Tuesday for health reasons, only for the third time in history. Apparently, the passionate horse woman mightn’t miss the legendary horse event! The mood at Windsor’s open-air stadium came to a head when a speaker expressed his thanks as follows:
“Thank you for choosing us instead of the Opening of Parliament ceremony!”
