Queen Camilla, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall attended the Cheltenham Festival at the Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire, England. Queen Camilla, who is the joint patron of The Jockey Club, handed out the trophy for the Queen Mother Champion Steeple Chase. Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall, along with their husbands, also attended the event in coordinating outfits.
Zara Tindall, who is the director of the Cheltenham Racecourse, attended the festival with Princess Eugenie and their husbands. Queen Camilla was joined by her daughter, Laura, and ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, as well as her son, Tom Parker Bowles, who watched the races from the Princess Royal Stand. The National Hunt Chase at the race has been permanently renamed to The Princess Royal National Hunt Chase in honor of Princess Anne’s equestrian success and support for the Cheltenham Racecourse.
Princess Anne, who is a passionate equestrian like her late mother Queen Elizabeth and daughter Zara, has lent her name to a feature of the Cheltenham meeting. The Princess Royal National Hunt Chase was announced earlier this month as a tribute to Princess Anne’s contributions to the sport. Queen Camilla and her family enjoyed a day at the races, with the Queen quietly arriving unannounced and drawing surprised gasps from fellow guests.
