00:00 It would seem that the love for horse racing runs in the royal family's veins.

00:05 The Queen was always a very skillful rider and enjoyed the hobby from a young age to

00:10 her last days.

00:12 And now, Princess Charlotte is following in her grandmother's footsteps by taking up

00:16 horse racing.

00:18 Along with her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, all three have become skillful

00:23 riders after perfecting their skills in Ammier Hall, their home in Norfolk, during COVID-19

00:29 confinement.

00:30 The royal family had to find new ways to keep themselves occupied and active.

00:36 For the young royals, this meant more fresh air and learning new abilities.

00:41 It is said that by perfecting their skills during this time, they learned to love both

00:45 the sport and horses.

00:48 Prince William learned to ride a child himself, so it comes as no surprise that he was overly

00:52 joyful and excited to see his children take a real interest in the sport.

00:58 The Queen was very well known for having a deep love for horses.

01:02 She learned to ride when she was just three years old.

01:06 Over the years, she chose eight special horses that she and her family enjoyed riding and

01:11 five racing horses she bred herself.

01:14 Among them is Oriole, which she inherited from her father, King George VI.

01:20 The horse won 11 out of 14 races.

01:24 Another outstanding stallion was Estimate, who won the Ascot Gold Cup, which made Elizabeth

01:29 the first monarch to win the trophy.
