I will be writing about the royals this week. There’s a clue in the meeting’s name. First of all we have the news that Harry and Meghan Markle, officially the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are at the races today, which will be the most exciting thing about the whole week for many. Now comes news that the Queen will have a runner in tomorrow’s Royal Hunt Cup as Seniority has got into the famous mile handicap after only being second reserve. Two horses that were originally entered went lame. Now that’s lucky.
