Queen spotted at Sandringham for first time since Prince Philip's passing

The Queen was spotted driving around the farms and stables in her Norfolk home during a visit to Sandringham over the weekend on what could well be a horse business.

Her Majesty, dressed in a white top adorned with pink roses was seen in the driving seat of her Range Rover around Word Farm and the Commodore Yard Stables.

She was in the company of two suited men, one of whom is believed to be John Warren, her racing adviser.

Horses were seen being led around Commodore yard this weekend, which is where the process of breaking in yearlings takes place.

Earlier this month the Queen attended the Royal Windsor Horse Show—now in its 77th year and globally renowned to attract well-heeled visitors from all walks of life.

Her Majesty returned from a Royal Week in Scotland to attend the horse show, which is thought to be one of her favourite equestrian events of the year, after joining her daughter Princess Anne, 70, at the University of Edinburgh.

The monarch, 95, who has spent lockdown in Windsor and has remained there since the death of her husband Prince Philip in April.
