Royal treats for club riding high

From inside the Aureole Room – an extension of the Royal Box at Ascot where the Queen meets jockeys and sometimes watches the races on her private television – Camilla took the royals’ private lift down to meet students from the Ebony Horse Club in south London.

She had just watched a race named after the club from the Royal Box with three of its young members on a day when racing celebrated its ties with Ebony, which she has supported as its president since 2009.

The club, founded in 1969, currently has eight horses with 140 riders per week and aims to use the sport as a way of helping to improve the life skills, wellbeing and aspirations of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the south London borough of Lambeth.

Through Camilla it has developed close ties with horse racing.
