The Queen has been seen in public for the first time since Prince Philip‘s memorial in March as she attended the Royal Windsor Horse Show in latest news today.

Her Majesty, 96, thrilled royal fans as she attended the event on Friday (May 13) amid her ongoing health problems.

Another gushed: “Aw what a lovely surprise!! It’s so good to see her again.”

Earlier this week, the Prince of Wales stood in for the Queen at the State Opening of Parliament.

“…and in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament.”
