Off to the races! 🏇 Queen Elizabeth II returned to Royal Ascot after having to miss it last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. 👑
Reach for the Moon, another of the royal’s horses, came in second during the Chesham Stakes on Saturday. In one photograph taken at the track, the queen grinned while inspecting the horse with her racing manager,“I think this is her passion in life, and she loves it and you can tell how much she loves it,”recently told ITV. “She can tell you every horse she’s bred and owned, from the very beginning. She doesn’t forget anything.
The queen’s daughter-in-law, 73, added that the monarch is “the biggest expert of all time” when it comes to horses. “You wouldn’t want to think you knew better because she does have all the answers,” she joked.Though the queen was seemingly pleased to back among her beloved horses, her appearance was still somewhat different than it’s been in years past.
Attendance by the public was also curbed, with capacity limited to 12,000 people per day as compared to around 300,000 guests across five days in normal times. Spectators also had to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test upon arrival at the event and agreed to take a second test five days later for contact tracing purposes.
