THE Queen was beaming as she arrived at the Royal Windsor Horse Show this morning.
The monarch smiled from ear to ear as she walked through the grounds of Windsor Castle in a sea blue skirt, turquoise jumper and a navy gilet.
It has been a trying few months for the Head of State following the loss of her beloved husband Prince Phillip on April 9.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s death prompted an outpouring of grief from the royal family and the nation alike after he passed away at the age of 99.
At the time, the Queen spoke of a “period of deep sadness” and thanked Brits for their messages of “comfort”.
And tensions between her warring grandson’s Prince William and Harry have continued to mount in the past months after Harry’s explosive Oprah interview in March.
While Harry and William reunited for the first time in months to unveil a statue of their mother Princess Diana at Kensington Palace, many believe the brothers’ relationship is still deeply strained.
But despite family troubles, the 95-year-old monarch put on a brave face as she marched across the neatly cut lawns at today’s event.
The Queen has returned from a week-long royal visit to Scotland and has been spotted over the last two days enjoying her front row seating at the show.
Yesterday, the Queen was accompanied by Penny Romsey, the former confidante and driving companion of the late Prince Philip.
Eager to arrive at the grounds, the Queen drove herself to the course in her Range Rover.
She was seen grinning at the wheel while accompanied by security guards.
Last, the Queen missed the opening day of Royal Ascot 2021 out of personal choice due to the pandemic – the first time she has missed the races since ascending to the throne.
