It is no surprise that the Queen has a long-standing passion for horses. So it was not surprising that her Majesty visited the stables during Sandringham today.  

In one of Her Majesty’s signature headcarves with an orange and green leaf pattern, Her Majesty (96) was seen sitting in front of the Range Rover as it left Wood Farm, near Sandringham, in Norfolk.

As she left her five-bedroom home, she wore bright lipstick and sunglasses. She will be back there until the beginning of next week. 

The monarch made a chauffeured visit to her horses, who were at nearby stables.

She celebrated her 30th birthday in Wood Farm Cottage, the Duke of Edinburgh, with a private party.

The Royal Family is frustrated again after Prince Harry made a series of slurs at the Firm during interviews on US television 

Prince Charles, who is believed to be in the final stretch of his rope with his youngest son. Palace staff members who looked after Her Majesty during the pandemic accuse the Duke of Sussex (breathtaking arrogance) of suggesting his grandmother requires extra protection. 

He claimed that she confides in him things she can’t talk to anyone else about. And in a barbed comment he said of his visit to Windsor Castle last week: ‘I’m just making sure that she’s protected and got the right people around her’. 

He also risked further fuelling the rift with his estranged older brother by stating that their late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, was now watching over him from beyond the grave as ‘she’s done her bit’ with Prince William and his family.

Prince Harry seemed to say that the Queen is ‘bored’ by the festivities when he was asked about her upcoming birthday during an interview with Hoda Kokotb of NBC Today.

The broadcaster was interviewed by him. He stated that he believed she — after a certain point, you become bored with birthdays.

Ms. Kotb answered: “You think that she is bored with her 96th?” Prince Harry responds, “I think so.” The Duke changed his mind when asked whether the Queen would be bored for the jubilee.

He answered, “No. It’s not my opinion. Her jubilees have all been quite different. I’m sure she is looking forward to it.’
