Queen Elizabeth was a woman of many talents, leading the British monarchy for seven decades. But away from the spotlight, the late Queen had a plethora of hobbies, some of which helped her escape from the "pressures and demands" inherent to her role.
Writing in his new book Queen Elizabeth II: A Concise Biography of an Exceptional Sovereign, David Cannadine shared, "It was sometimes said of her that she found it easier to relate to horses and dogs than she did to people, and she did occasionally write long letters of condolence to relatives and close friends on the death of a horse or a dog."
