A horse at Royal Ascot threatened to derail the royal procession as it appeared to become spooked while pulling Princess Beatrice’s carriage.
The animal was leading Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi when it bucked, forcing horsemen to step in as it became skittish. Luckily they were able to quickly bring the horse under control and avoid anyone being harmed in the disruption.
Beatrice and Edoardo, who welcomed their first child together in September last year, waved to crowds who raised their hats to the royals as they made their way up the race track, The Mirror reports . Their carriage was second in the procession, with the first being occupied by the Duke of Kent who recently accompanied the Queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Jubilee celebrations.
