Queen Camilla made an appearance at the Badminton Horse Trials in Gloucestershire on Friday, where she encountered her former husband Andrew Parker Bowles during a reception.<\/p>\n

The monarch, who serves as president of the Ebony Horse Club, was at the prestigious equestrian event to celebrate the Brixton-based charity’s 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Her Majesty spent time with volunteers and young people from the organisation’s south London riding school, which offers lessons, workshops and support programmes for disadvantaged youngsters.<\/p>\n

The Queen and Mr Parker Bowles married in 1973 and share two children, Tom and Laura.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Their marriage ended in 1995, after 22 years.<\/p>\n

Mr Parker Bowles’s connection to the Royal Family extends further than Camilla.<\/p>\n

Last month, he represented Princess Anne at a Thanksgiving service for Ian Balding, Queen Elizabeth\u2019s former racehorse trainer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This marked the second time in the space of two months he had stepped in for the Princess Royal in similar circumstances.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, speaking with broadcaster Clare Balding at the event, the Queen expressed her deep connection to the Ebony Horse Club.<\/p>\n

“I was so moved when I first discovered the club quite a few years ago,” Her Majesty said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The charity provides riding tuition and youth support services for young people from challenging backgrounds in the capital.<\/p>\n

Camilla shook up the traditional playbook by pairing a black trouser suit<\/a> with a navy blue Chanel vanity bag that features a quilted pattern and top handle.<\/p>\n

Her Majesty watched on as a quartet of young riders performed a musical routine set to London Calling by The Clash in the event arena.<\/p>\n

Following the display, Camilla awarded rosettes to the four performers and their ponies, marking a memorable moment for the young equestrians.<\/p>\n

Prior to the arena performance, a teenager from the club demonstrated a horse simulator for the Queen, who was subsequently invited to take the controls herself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The day also provided an opportunity for Her Majesty to converse with Lucinda Green, the legendary equestrian who has claimed victory at Badminton on six occasions.<\/p>\n

The prestigious Gloucestershire event, held annually in the Cotswolds, remains one of the most celebrated fixtures in the British equestrian calendar.<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla’s visit underscored the Royal Family’s continued commitment to supporting charitable organisations that provide opportunities for young people across the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
