Due to mobility issues, the queen watches her favorite show on TV

The event was attended by the Queen's granddaughter Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.


British Queen Elizabeth II remembered Royal Ascot for the first time since her coronation in 1953, however, she saw the event on TV.

According to Reuters, the 96-year-old monarch missed the entire prestigious equestrian event due to his ongoing mobility issues.

The Queen, who celebrated her Platinum Jubilee earlier this month, however, watched the final day of the racing event on TV.

She had previously missed the event only once during her reign, in 2020, when it was held behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Duke of Kent replaced the Queen - who has a longtime love of horses - during the royal carriage procession, which also included Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

The Queen has struggled with mobility issues in recent months, which forced her to miss several events during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

As a reminder of the Queen's influence on the meeting, 70 school children donned her colors to form a Guard of Honor for the Royal Party as they rolled into the parade ring in their carriage pre-racing. (web desk/Reuters)
