Queen Elizabeth, who “has also stopped riding” (for now)

Today, according to the rumors signed The Sun, it seems that the sovereign was forced to stop as well ride horse, due to an unspecified “nuisance” physicist. «He doesn’t get in the saddle since two months»Writes the tabloid, quoting a source.

“She hasn’t even been spotted on her pony last September, when he was in the Scottish residence of Balmoral for the last part of his summer holidays“. Quite strange, in fact, since that is one of Her Majesty’s favorite locations for horseback riding. “It’s one of the rituals he loves the most in his life, but because of this little problem had to give up», Adds the insider. “She’s disappointed, though he does not lose heart».

According to the British press, in fact, Lilibet is determined to get back in the saddle as soon as possible: has no intention of giving up his great love, born with a delightoso pony Shetland named Peggy, received as a gift from her father on hers fourth birthday. A passion that she managed to pass on to her daughter Anna, who won a European title in ’71, and to his niece Zara, which has even been awarded an Olympic silver in London 2012.

Either way, His Majesty knows he doesn’t have to force recovery times: After a flurry of commitments over the past three weeks, her healthcare team suggested that she take a break. Like this he jumped the institutional visit in northern Ireland and declined – albeit with great regret – the invitation to Glasgow for the Cop26. He spent as well one night in the hospital for some precautionary checks, but she quickly returned to hers desk.

Where he resumed working and participating in ceremonies, albeit remotely, reassuring the subjects with his smiles and his unmistakable irony: «I am very happy to see you, even if only mechanicallyHe said in video link from Windsor speaking with David Constantine, winner of the Queen’s Gold Medal for poetry. “I don’t know what you’re going to do with it this medal», Elisabetta joked,« maybe you will wear it in a cupboard».

It does not lose good mood, in conclusion. The key ingredient to regain strength and return to hers soon passions. Horses included.
