Queen Elizabeth Pulls Out Of Yet Another Platinum Jubilee Event
The Queen, an avid horse racing fan, is expected to watch the Derby on television at Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace said. Her daughter, Princess Anne, will attend in-person instead. A guard of honor, made of up to 40 of the Queen’s past and present jockeys, is due to line the course.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales represented his mother at St Paul’s Cathedral after the 96-year-old monarch pulled out of the high-profile occasion following “discomfort” following a busy first day of festivities.
During an address to 2,000 people at St Paul’s Cathedral in London, the Archbishop spoke of leadership qualities, adding: “In Her Majesty the Queen, we see such an example of this kind of service; a staunch constancy and a steadfast consistency; a faithfulness to God, an obedience to a vocation that is the bedrock of her life.”
