Queen Elizabeth II, 85, had a jolly good time with two of her grandchildren as she went horse riding with them at the Windsor Great Park.
The queen enjoyed the trip Easter Monday with her youngest son, Prince Edward’s children — Viscount Severn, three, and Lady Louise Windsor, seven, the Daily Express reported.
Edward is married to Sophie Rhys-Jones.
A photograph of the occasion was released on Wednesday to mark the start of the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

Do mothers with twins live longer?
Washington: Women who deliver twins live longer compared to moms of only singletons, a new study has claimed. According to the University of Utah study, it’s not that doubling up on dirty diapers boosts their life span, but instead that healthier women have an increased chance of delivering twins. “Having twins will not make you stronger or healthier, but stronger, healthier women are more likely to have twins naturally,” Shannen Robson, the study’s first author, said.
Ken Smith, the senior author of the study, added: “The prevailing view is that the burden of childbearing on women is heavier when bearing twins. But we found the opposite: women who bear twins in fact live longer and are actually more fertile.” —PTI
