Her mood remained buoyant later while in conversation with the King of Bahrain.

She watched the Endurance event alongside the 67-year-old Gulf state ruler Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

The Duke of York also shared in the high spirits with the pair at the event in Royal Windsor Park.

There’s little surprise she was in a good mood as the 91-year-old’s horse Barber’s Shop won a prize yesterday.

She wrapped up against the elements in a floral silk headscarf and an overcoat.
