While the mantle with their enthusiasm for this the five-star (previously four-star) no longer seems to sport. Nearly 40 years after Cheltenham’s feature on The Queen’s schedule of engagements, both two-mile champion chase was renamed Princess Anne and her daughter Zara Tindall have vied the Queen Mother Champion Chase in for the title.

Madeleine Silver finds out where to spot ‘The Firm’ this year ROYAL WINDSOR HORSE SHOW, BERKS 8-12 MAY IF it weren’t for the army of photographers, you would be forgiven for mistaking The Queen for any other spectator standing ringside in her wellies at Royal Windsor. Having made her winning debut at the show in 1944 with the Norwegian driving pony Hans, it is now her natives that have form. She also hit the headlines in 2017 when her former racehorse Barbers Shop was crowned supreme. While 97-year-old Prince Philip might be more likely to be spotted at the helm of his Range Rover than a carriage, his youngest granddaughter, Lady Louise Windsor, 15, has followed in his footsteps. She made her Royal Windsor carriage-driving debut in 2017 with the home-bred Fell Balmoral Phantom. THE DERBY, SURREY 1 JUNE YOU would struggle to find a family with greater involvement in this race’s 239-year history than this one. George IV, as the Prince of Wales, won back in 1788 with Sir Thomas, but Edward VII is the only reigning monarch to have clinched the race, which he did he 1909 (having won it twice before as the Prince of Wales). The Queen came tantalisingly close in the year of her coronation in 1953, when Aureole finished second, and again in 2011 when Carlton House came in third. But the top spot still eludes her — which makes the media glare all the more intense as the whole family descends on Epsom. ROYAL WINDSOR CUP FINAL, BERKS 23 JUNE IT’s an enviable kind of stamina that means the 92-year-old Queen is able to present the prizes at the Royal Windsor Cup final on the Sunday after Royal Ascot. Considered the premium medium-goal tournament of the English polo season, it is Guards’ oldest competition, having been first played in 1955, and the manageable crowds mean that you can grab a top vantage point on the immaculate Smith’s Lawn for the prize-giving.
