William gets in the saddle for Queen’s celebrations

SHARP-EYED tourists outside Buckingham Palace were afforded the rare opportunity at the weekend to see Prince William on horseback.

But even those in the vicinity might well have missed him, since his well-known face was obscured by a traditional bearskin hat.

The prince was taking part in a rehearsal for next week’s trooping of the colour, a major event to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s official birthday.
