Trainer Henry De Bromhead welcomed Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to his stables at Knockeen in Waterford on Thursday afternoon.
Stable jockey Rachael Blackmore was also there to present the Gold Cup winning horse, A Plus Tard, and the Champion Hurdle winner, Honeysuckle, among others, to the Duchess.
The Duchess asked what the plans are now for Honeysuckle and Mr De Bromhead revealed that she would be “taking a break” before aiming to return to Cheltenham again next year to try and win the Champion Hurdle for the third year in a row.
