EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mike Maloney, we are transported back to the 1978 Epsom Derby, where Queen Elizabeth II and her racing manager Lord Porchester eagerly watch the thrilling finish. The image showcases a candid moment of excitement and anticipation as both figures cheer on their favored horse. The Queen, adorned in an elegant hat that perfectly complements her regal attire, exudes grace and poise while holding a pair of binoculars to get a closer look at the race. Her expression is one of genuine enthusiasm as she witnesses history unfold before her eyes. Beside her stands Lord Porchester, his own face animated with exhilaration. As they stand side by side, it becomes evident that their shared passion for horseracing has forged a unique bond between them. Their presence at such an event highlights not only their love for the sport but also their dedication to supporting British equestrian culture. This photograph encapsulates a rare glimpse into the private world of royalty; it captures not just two individuals watching a race but also reveals their authentic emotions and unguarded reactions. It serves as a testament to Queen Elizabeth II's enduring reign and unwavering commitment to various aspects of British life beyond her ceremonial duties. Mike Maloney's skillful lens immortalizes this extraordinary moment in time when tradition meets thrill on the racetrack - an unforgettable snapshot from Britain's rich sporting heritage.
