Royal Windsor Horse Show and New Arrivals at Windsor

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was all smiles yesterday as she enjoyed one of her favourite things of the year... the Royal Horse Show at Windsor...

and Windsor Castle has certainly been a co-star this last week....

 With her meeting her new great grandson Archie, born to Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who was born on May 6th...

at Frogmore Cottage on Windsor Castle grounds...

Windsor Horse Show is near and dear to her majesty's heart.

In 2016, it was dedicated to her for her 90th birthday....

 The Queen’s 90^th birthday celebrations were to coincide with the annual Windsor Horse Show.  The Queen’s 90^th birthday was on April 21^st but special celebrations will take place at Home Park, Windsor between May 12^th and May 15^th 2016. This birthday show featured 600 horses and 1500 performers, and a crowd of 7,000 for each night’s performance, with the days filled with various coaching and equestrian competitions, often with world class contenders and Olympic hopefuls.

The special 90-minute show in the evening paid tribute to many of the things that have been so important to The Queen throughout her life. It featured horses and riders from Canada, New Zealand and Fiji among other countries and included pipers and drummers according to press reports.

The Queen will attended the last night while others members of the Royal Family were present on the other evenings. 

Simon Brooks-Ward, who produced and directed the birthday show and who also runs the Windsor Horse Show, said that the particular event was to ‘celebrate a truly remarkable life.’

 The Queen, the King of Bahrain and the Duke of York shared a laugh while watching the endurance phase of the trials.

So glad she can enjoy herself with all of her responsibilities. 

Always lots of English Royal commemoratives available at
