maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted June 1, 2020 3 hours ago, Toast said: Just for accuracy, she's not at Balmoral; the photo was taken at Windsor. BBC report says the horse's name is Balmoral Fern which is probably the source of the confusion. So does the stable at Balmoral include a horse called Windsor?

No idea, but I do know that the Queen puts a lot of thought into naming her home-bred racehorses. There is usually a connection to the name of the sire or dam or both. She also breeds Fell ponies and no doubt takes similar trouble over naming them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,385 Posted June 1, 2020 The horse is a 14-year-old fell pony called Fern. Not the first time a Royal has ridden a 14-year-old. 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Queen fell in love with Philip when she was only 13. If they'd been lower class oiks, they'd probably have been at it like knives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted June 1, 2020 Not sure this should go in the Livvie de H thread or above because it's been quoted in this thread. I'll post it in both. There seems some debate about whether it is 2006 or 2011. But I'll say, regardless of whether it's 2006, 2011 or 2019, she is doing magnificently for her advanced age. If you look at more recent pictures of OdH, she does "look" a lot older than in this photo. If you look at this twitter picture, it has the entire picture - https://twitter.com/GilpinPeri/status/1145704850933477382, which you'd have to say is more likely to be the US than France. If so, her last visit to the US appears to be around 2011. Peri Gilpin has shared the photo, but I'd be surprised if that was taken by Peri on that day, it seems something's she shared and the twitterati have responded to. Also, a French paper claimed it was in 2019, but I cannot find that link which makes me think that they may've made a mistake and removed the article. Then 3 days later, Olivia's page on Facebook posted it. There's a number of comments in there about it being 2006. But I can't find the movie forums they refer to. In 2016, in this report from the Daily Fail - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3670080/AP-Interview-De-Havilland-breaks-silence-sibling-feud.html there is a quote about her eyesight failing which brings into question whether she would ride a bike with that vision.

Clorox Bleachman 2,405 Posted July 18, 2020 Today is her 25,000th day on the throne. When this thread started she was coming up for 20,000 and when she debuted on DL she was merely in the 13,000s range. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
