THE Queen has been inducted into the racing Hall of Fame for her ‘lifelong commitment’ to the sport – amid family meetings over Andrew’s desperate desire to return to public life.
The new honour comes on the back of her best year on the track, with more than £535,000 in earnings from her 33 wins on the Flat to date.
She is a regular at Royal Ascot and the Epsom Derby – with a trip with other members of the Royal Family already confirmed for next year.
But the honour has come at the end of another “annus horribilis” for Her Majesty following the death of her beloved husband Philip and the continued legal woes of her reported favourite son Andrew.
The prince has reportedly become “isolated” from the rest of the family as he is the “only person in the world clinging” on to the idea he can return to public life.
