Queen Camilla takes on patronage of National Horseracing Museum
The Queen has followed in the footsteps of her late mother-in-law to become a patron of the National Horseracing Museum.
Her Majesty Queen Camilla accepted the invitation from the museum in Newmarket, Suffolk.
Queen Elizabeth II opened the museum in November 2016 and visited on multiple occasions, offering support.
Chairman of the museum’s board of trustees, Frances Stanley, said the museum was delighted to have received the news from Buckingham Palace.
“HM The Queen, being a talented horsewoman, has shown great enthusiasm for equestrian sports over many years,” she said.
“We have had the honour of welcoming her to the museum, most recently in June 2023.”
The announcement was made to mark the first anniversary of both the King and Queen’s Coronation.
To celebrate, a new Royal Yard tour will take place on 22 July at Clarehaven Stables, where the royal couple have horses in training.
The museum is part of a five-acre site telling the story of horseracing from its origins to the present day.
