Rare Candid Footage of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip at Windsor Horse Show (1988)

On 13 May 1988, ITN filmed some remarkably candid footage of Queen Elizabeth II as she watched Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh practise carriage driving at the Windsor Horse Show. The Queen was seen gesturing enthusiastically, laughing, and posing for private photographs in a mood that seemed less inhibited than the demeaneour required of her during public engagements.

I love how The Queen and Prince Philip patted and praised each horse and Phillip gave each horse a treat.

[@roscomeon3965]

Pity they didn't treat their family with the same affection. Cold and heartless. Think of Princess Diana. Disgusting and disgraceful behaviour

​​@@roscomeon3965that's so not true. You're really not that bright and rather naïve falling that line. Families are complex and dealing with a member that had mental issues and was over dramatic is not easy. Diana was no angel!

[@positivepessimist6853]

Unbelievable that she was 62 years old in this footage. She was in remarkably good shape for her age.

[@alisongrubb8159]

I was thinking the same exact thing. She really was very beautiful 🥰.

Princess Charlotte bears such a strong resemblance to the late Queen. Even at such a young age, it is so easy to see how much of her great grandmother's gestures and mannerisms she has inherited. Charlotte is mature beyond her years and will be a tower of strength to her older and younger brother.

[@costernocht]

You're so right. I've heard it said that Prince George is a Spencer, Princess Charlotte is a Windsor, and Prince Louis is a Middleton.

[@isabelledetaillefer2726]

I'm always struck by how tiny she was. Even more so in her later years...this whiff of a lady could fill a room or a field with her presence. She was every inch a queen.

[@jamesfreeman2258]

[@mmckenzie8085]

I know the Queen lived to a very good age and death comes to us all but I still feel sad every time I see her and I still miss her. She really was one special lady. I used to love watching her with Philip. The dynamic was so good and catching those moments when he would make her laugh always made me smile.

[@andreamayne3509]

Queen Elizabeth looks great and lived a long life, great diplomat and I never remember seeing her flustered in public.

[@chrispeters3466]

There will never be another Monarch like her.

[@adriannedanen3546]

It was lovely how all the horses received warm pats from both royals after such a perfect display. 😄👍

[@lenoremicallef9215]

Lady Louise ... her parents declined the title of princess and Prince for their children. At age 18 they could have then chosen differently for themselves ... and they did not.

[@jamesfreeman2258]

I miss her so much. It's unrealistic to have mourned a person one hasn't ever met, but there you are. Seeing this video just brought back how much I miss her. Besides the 1st Elizabeth, The Queen Elizabeth II is tge greatest monarch in history.

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

I went to a horse trails, AND princess Ann WAS competing .That WAS just an remarkable day . 👍👍👍

[@mattbod]

She seemed a lovely woman. She had a lot to put up with. It is a shame she didn’t relax and become less formal earlier. Her last decade was her best. She allowed the world to see the real Elizabeth. My neighbour was one of her domestic staff. He said she was lovely.

[@costernocht]

She was also very, very funny -- said to be an excellent mimic.

[@ranjandasgupta2995]

It is always nice to see her late Majesty. She reighned the second half of 20th century peacefully & completely, after continous turmoil of first half of 20th century.

[@CoralBalmoral]

Also struck by and loving the beautiful bird song in this clip 😊

[@kimlersue]

The horses respond beautifully under Phillip's reins. Looks like a thoroughly enjoyable sport! The Queen was always happiest around her horses. Nic e to see her on such a happy carefree day! RIP..from the USA! You are missed.

[@magnacz]

Queen Elisabeth more animated than usual. She did like horses more than people, didnt she. The noise of the airport we could do without. Also the same footage being repeated to make the video longer is ridiculous, just edit so we see everything once not twice. Thank you very much.

[@lsmith9249]

@magnacz planes fly over Windsor all the time

[@positivepessimist6853]

What could be done about the airport noise? The airport is near Windsor with flights going in and out all day!

[@SpookyElectric319]

Wrong, she loved both horses and people. You can’t help the sounds of planes, it’s near a bloody airport! What a stupid comment!

And before you call me a backed up donkey I’m actually gay just dislike Charles. Still Rip Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

[@damienvanhalen]

@@lsmith9249The deceased and late queen was the most selfish woman in the United Kingdom for over 70 years as queen, as I have observed over and over every time she acted. She not once looked out for nothing but protecting her self and the continual abusive abhorrent behavior of her sons Charlie and Andy. To quote a queen, "Charles is hopeless", still is, and has been at war with anyone who outshines his orbit, starting with HRH Diana, Princess of Wales and most recently Prince Harry and his wife.

[@lsmith9249]

@@damienvanhalen our late Queen was not selfish and never ever said our King was hopeless, you ought to stop reading the garbage you read and Diana was only royal by marriage and her courtesy title was different before and after marriage to indicate that she was HRH, THE Princess of Wales her title changed after her marriage ended to Diana, Princess of Wales
