EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken at the prestigious Cheltenham Racecourse in 1982, we see a young Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, in deep conversation with his grandmother, the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother, dressed elegantly in a hat and coat, looks intently at the racecourse, while Prince Charles, wearing a suit and tie, leans in closely to share a secret or offer advice. The backdrop to this intimate moment is the thrilling world of horse racing. The grandstand of Cheltenham Racecourse can be seen in the distance, filled with spectators eagerly watching the action on the track. The excitement of the race is palpable, with jockeys and their horses charging towards the finish line. Prince Charles and the Queen Mother were regular attendees at horse races, and their shared love for the sport brought them closer together. The Queen Mother, an accomplished horsewoman herself, passed on her passion for racing to her grandson. Prince Charles went on to become a successful racehorse owner, with many of his horses competing at Cheltenham and other major racecourses. This photograph captures a special moment between two generations of the British royal family, united by their love for horse racing and the traditions of the sport. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between Prince Charles and the Queen Mother, and the joy they found in each other's company, both in public and in private. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer John Walters from The Northcliffe Collection, is a precious document of royal history and the rich heritage of horse racing in the United Kingdom. It is a reminder of the human side of the monarchy, and the shared experiences that bring families and generations together.
