The Queen has a deep love for horses and her reaction when she sees one is adorable – see the pics
first time in her 68-year reign that the monarch has been absent from the race meeting.
Now being held behind closed doors, Her Majesty will instead watch the coverage on TV from Windsor Castle. It's no secret that the Queen has had a strong affection for horses ever since she took her first riding lesson at the age of three. Many of the thoroughbreds she owns have gone on to win impressive titles, and in 2013 she even made sporting history when she became the first reigning monarch to win Royal Ascot's Gold Cup with her thoroughbred Estimate.
This has to be one of the most adorable images of the Queen we've ever seen. Dressed in a bright pink two-piece, Her Majesty looked completely smitten as she inspected the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in London's Hyde Park back in 2017. Fun fact, the Queen declared that the name "The King's Troop" would remain in honour of her father King George VI on her accession to the throne.
Another happy day at the Royal Windsor Horse Show for the Queen, who proudly looked on as her horse, Balmoral Melody, was crowned the 'Supreme Champion' of the Highland Pony class on day two of the event in 2007.
