Her Majesty’s Passion for Riding: A Royal Hobby with Benefits
According to an exclusive source, Queen Elizabeth isn’t just riding for fun—she’s riding because it’s her absolute favorite thing to do. "The Queen has vowed to keep riding until her doctors tell her to stop!" the source told Closer Weekly. "At 93 years old, she still looks forward to saddling up and hitting the trails. Not only does she love it, but it also keeps her in great shape. She feels amazing after a ride around Balmoral or Windsor Castle. Imagine the fresh air, the quiet, and the pure joy of being one with a horse!"
The Queen’s Love for Nature: Why the Gym Isn’t Her Thing
Now, if you’re wondering why the gym isn’t on her schedule, well, it’s simple—Her Majesty loves being outdoors. When she thinks about staying healthy, she doesn’t envision treadmills or weight machines. Instead, she envisions long walks, bird watching, and even gardening. "She grows her own vegetables!" the source added. "The outdoors is where she thrives, and it’s clear that nature plays a big role in her daily routine."
