Queen Camilla also had the opportunity to watch the horse King's Lynn compete in the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes, however, it only finished in 10th place. The racehorse belongs to King Charles III after he inherited the animals that belonged to his mother, who died on Sept. 8.

At the event, Camilla spoke with John Warren, the King's racing manager and Sir Francis Brooke, who came on previously as the late Queen's representative at Ascot.

Earlier this month, the horse Just Fine made history as the first winner for King Charles since he became monarch.

"I'm delighted that the King and Queen Consort have had their first winner, and they'll be delighted," said Warren, according to BBC.

Queen Elizabeth enjoyed a lifelong love of horses and was riding as recently as June of this year.

After developing an interest in horses as a child, Queen Elizabeth inherited the breeding and racing stock of her late father, King George VI. The Queen enjoyed numerous wins with her racehorses over the years, earning the Champion Owner title in British flat racing in 1954 and 1957, according to Racing Post. This honor goes to the owner whose horses have won the most prize money during a season.

In an emotional scene on her funeral day, Queen Elizabeth's beloved pony Emma watched the funeral procession at Windsor Castle, standing to the side with head groom Terry Pendry as the coffin passed. In a tear-jerking touch, equerries placed what appeared to be one of the Queen's go-to riding headscarves on the pony's saddle.

On Oct. 10, Buckingham Palace shared a photo of the horse, whose full name is Carlton Lima Emma, with an update.

"For the past fifteen years, Queen Elizabeth regularly rode Emma for light exercise in the grounds around Windsor Castle during Her Majesty's private time," Buckingham Palace wrote, sharing a portrait of the bridled pony standing quietly. "Emma will continue to be much-loved and cared for at the Royal Mews, Windsor, and regularly exercised by its small, dedicated team."
