The queen who wanted to be a horse
The offices of William Hill are empty today. The only race of the day was suspended due to the royal death. For decades, the working class and the royals used to gather at the gambling joints. Now, it's only the rich who can afford to gamble on horses. Neither Charles III nor his children have inherited the taste for the equine breeding. Princess Anne is also unenthusiastic about the reproductive cycle. The late queen’s favorite pastime is the subject of a horse anecdote of doubtful provenance. Jacques Chirac, a man known for harsh jokes, claimed to have told it.
