Princess Anne fills in for Queen Elizabeth II at horse race
Princess Anne stepped in for her mother, Elizabeth, Saturday at the Epsom Derby, a horse race in Surrey, England.
Anne, the only daughter of the queen and her late husband, Prince Philip, was spotted waving to crowds and speaking with officials at Epsom Downs.

Elizabeth was scheduled to attend the race as part of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations but Buckingham Palace confirmed Friday she would not attend. The 96-year-old queen, whose love for horses is well known, is expected to watch the race on television at Windsor Castle, according to the palace.
Jockeys at this year’s race honored the queen by wearing her official racing silks, according to a tweet from the Epsom Downs Twitter account.
