Her Majesty showed no signs of slowing down and was in fine spirits as she got behind the wheel of her black Range Rover, to enjoy one of her most loves past-times, seeing the horses in action in Berkshire. The 93-year-old monarch wore a khaki jacket and black leather boots following yesterday’s downpour, and was joined at the equestrian event by her daughter Princess Anne, 68. On Wednesday, the Queen along with Prince Philip, 97, caught their first glimpse of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first child Archie at St George’s Hall in Windsor Castle. An adorable image of the Queen, Prince, Meghan, Harry, and Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland was then taken as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex broke royal convention by announcing the name on their SussexRoyal Instagram page. The post which has since received more than 2.8 million likes said: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. “This afternoon Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle.

Meghan and Harry named their child Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor Meghan Markle baby: Archie Harrison ‘could be King’ says expert<doc-sep>Queen Elizabeth has had quite a busy week, what with welcoming a new great-grandchild (her eighth) into the family. But her introduction to the latest royal, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's baby boy, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, wasn't the only thing on her mind on Wednesday. In fact, before she went to meet her grandson's first child at Windsor Castle, Her Majesty had another event on her agenda that she simply wouldn't miss: the Royal Windsor Horse Show. The queen is a famously avid equestrian and continues to ride, even at the age of 93. (Though she does admit to being "rather a fair-weather rider now.") The annual RWHS, held not far from Windsor Castle, is rumored to be one of the queen's favorite equestrian events of the year, and according to the Daily Mail , she's believed to have attended every year since the show's inception 76 years ago. With a record like that, a little spring shower was hardly going to keep Her Majesty away. Instead, the queen donned a pair of wellies, a hooded olive raincoat, and one of her signature silk headscarves and headed out to watch the events and chat with fellow equine fans. And while we have no idea what her exact opinions of the horses on show might have been, it's fair to say that she had some strong reactions.
