King Charles attends horse show at Windsor Castle
King Charles has attended the Royal Windsor Horse Show at Windsor Castle. The equestrian event, which was a favourite of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, was first staged in 1943 to help raise funds for the war effort. The show is now the only one in the UK to host international competitions in show jumping, dressage, driving and endurance. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, were also seen with the King at the event on Saturday. This year's Royal Windsor Horse Show, which opened on Thursday and runs until Sunday, also includes more than 120 showing classes. The inaugural event in 1943 was attended by King George VI, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and the two young princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret. Over the years, Queen Elizabeth II would often be seen walking among the stalls, dressed informally and wearing a headscarf. She also entered her home-bred horses and ponies in classes at the show.
