Most recently, Queen Elizabeth traveled to her Sandringham estate in Norfolk and is believed to be staying at Wood Farm, which is the home where Philip spent most of his retirement in. This year, the Queen is reportedly spending her birthday privately. RELATED: Queen Elizabeth Reportedly ‘A Lot Better’ After Having COVID-19 Despite Death Hoax London, UK.

May 22nd 2019Ref: LMK73-J4930-230519Keith Mayhew/Landmark MediaWWW.LMKMEDIA.COM It's really no surprise that the new photo of Elizabeth also includes her beloved horses as she has always had a fondness for horses. She was given her first horse when she was just four years old and is also known to get quite animated when at horse-racing events. The Queen herself reportedly hasn't ridden since early September of last year. "She was in quite a bit of discomfort," a source close to the Queen told The Sun. "She adores riding, and it has been part of her ritual for most of her life. She has been extremely disappointed not to go riding since the beginning of September." Her love for horses and horseback riding has been passed on to the new royal generation as well, as the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, became the first British royal to compete in the Olympics when she rode in the equestrian event at the 1976 Games in Montreal. Also following in the Queen's footsteps—and her mother's—is Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, who competed in the 2012 Olympics and won a silver medal as a member of the Great Britain Eventing Team.
