The Queen was advised to give up horse riding two months ago after suffering ‘discomfort’ in Scotland.
Her Majesty, 95, was told to stop with her beloved hobby in early September, but is determined to get back in the saddle soon.
According to The Sun, The Queen – who is known for her love of horseback riding and as an avid racing fan, – has not been out on a horse since she took a summer break to Scotland.
Citing a source from Balmoral Castle – the Scottish holiday home of the royal family – the newspaper reported that Her Majesty was ‘in quite a bit of discomfort.’
‘She adores riding and it has been part of her ritual for most of her life,’ the source said. ‘She has been extremely disappointed not to go riding since the beginning of September.’
But the Queen has refused to give up on her favourite pastime, and according to royal insiders cited by The Sun, she is eager to return after taking time to rest.
For a long time, Her Majesty has been known for her love of equestrian activities, including going to watch the races, caring for horses and riding herself.
The 95-year-old monarch was due to travel to Scotland for the high-profile Cop26 evening engagement on Monday, but she will now record a video address for delegates.
It is understood the Queen very much wants the conference to be a success and result in meaningful action from the participating nations.
The Queen faced preliminary tests in hospital on October 20 during her first overnight stay at a medical facility in eight years, and has twice used a walking stick in recent weeks.
She returned to work on Tuesday, October 26, carrying out virtual audiences from Windsor Castle, her first official engagements in seven days, after she was ordered to rest by doctors – and later that day spoke with Chancellor Rishi Sunak ahead of the Budget.
