Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are not only heirs to the British throne but also budding equestrians, mirroring their great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The trio has been honing their horse-riding skills during the lockdown period, drawing inspiration from Her Majesty, who has been a passionate rider since childhood.
According to reports from the Times, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's children have been diligently practicing their riding abilities on their own ponies at Anmer Hall, their countryside residence in Norfolk.
Their newfound passion for riding is expected to bring them closer to the Queen, affectionately known as Gangan to her great-grandchildren, as they plan to spend quality time together at Windsor and Balmoral this summer.
The monarch, known for her love of horses, has taken a keen interest in the progress of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis in the saddle.
Their parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, are equally enthusiastic about their children learning to ride and actively participating in the care of the ponies.
Prince George, who showcased his comfort in the saddle during the Cambridge's Tour of Canada in 2016, has been receiving riding lessons on a Shetland pony belonging to Zara Tindall, Prince William's cousin.
This echoes his father's early experiences with riding, as Prince William was gifted a Shetland pony named Smokey when he was just four years old.
Princess Charlotte, sporting a unicorn charm on her school bag, embarked on her equestrian journey at a tender age of 17 months.
Kate Middleton shared with equestrian champion Natasha Baker that Charlotte's passion for riding could potentially lead her to Olympic success in the future.
Baker expressed her delight in hearing about Charlotte's enjoyment of riding and speculated about seeing her compete in 20 years.
The royal children's deepening interest in horseback riding serves as a comforting distraction following the loss of their beloved pet, Lupo, in November.
Prince William is delighted to see his children embracing the equestrian hobby, a tradition passed down from generations within the royal family.
The royal lineage's affinity for horses extends beyond the younger generation, with Zara Tindall achieving Olympic success by winning a silver medal in equestrian events during the 2012 London Olympics.
The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, also shares the family's passion for horses and has been actively involved with the Ebony Horse Club in Brixton since 2009.
As the royal children continue to develop their riding skills, they not only honor their great-grandmother's legacy but also embody a longstanding royal tradition deeply rooted in their family history.
The sight of the Queen gracefully riding through the grounds of Windsor Castle serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between the British royals and their equestrian heritage.
