On November 2, local time, King of Britain Charles III and Queen Camilla held a reception in Buckingham Palace , and invited more than 200 athletes who participated in the Olympics and Paralympics.
In addition to the king and queen, Princess Anne and Prince Edward also participated in this event. In addition, late queen Elizabeth II cousin Duke of Gloucester .
According to previous news, the 73-year-old Charles has basically determined the list of people who will participate in the royal family in the future, with a total of 11 people, including the people who took photos with him. However, the second brother Prince Andrew was excluded. Not only that, even Andrew's two princess daughters were not entrusted with important tasks.
Charles and diving athlete Tom Daly have been chatting for a long time, and it seems that he still admires this 28-year-old "diving golden boy".
Just before Charles attended the reception, another news of his travel was also made public. According to the " Daily Mail ", the king went to the Sandringham Stallery in Norfolk County to check the precious horses he inherited.
and this is also Charles visited this stallion for the first time after his mother passed away and discussed things about horses with the staff there. It is reported that there are currently 60 racehorses and 38 mares in the stallion.
Charles looked very excited, and it seemed that he was still very interested in these expensive horses. According to witnesses, Charles stayed there for a long time and left until lunch time. Instead of returning to London, he continued to inspect the stables nearby.
Originally, Charles' trip to the stallion was not something that was particularly worthy of attention, but has just auctioned the late Queen's 14 horses, so this trip attracted much attention .
Charles received 1,129,275 pounds (about 9.39 million RMB) in the three-day auction, but given that the British royal family is not short of money, the new king's behavior has caused controversy and has been accused of not cherishing his mother's legacy. It is also speculated that Charles may plan to cut his mother's horse racing and breeding business.
It is reported that none of the 14 horses auctioned were Sandringham's horses, but were raised and trained elsewhere.
Charles did not express his opinion publicly in the face of controversy, which was in line with the British royal style. However, Tattersalls responded to Charles. Spokesman Jimmy George said the deal "is nothing worth making a fuss."
" Every year they sell horses, the queen has her own mare, she will breed them, and she will also sell , and no one can keep them all," said Jimmy George. In addition, he also emphasized that "the queen loves to breed horses and is also an avid horse racing enthusiast and rider, and she is still the case when she was in her 90s."
And when publishing the news that Charles visited the stallion, British media posted a short video, which was the Queen watching the horse racing when she was alive. It should be her horse that won the championship. The grandmother instantly smiled brightly. This kind of emotion is really rare for the Queen.
Many British netizens expressed their feelings after seeing this video, "I like the queen's video", "Oh my God, I miss our queen."
