Scope and content
The Princess of Wales riding through the Royal estate at Sandringham with the Queen. It was only recently that Princess Diana returned to riding; she had vowed never to go near horses after a bad fall when she was a child. But it was the Queen who gradually and patiently coaxed her back into the saddle, choosing a safe old grey mare for her inaugural rides. Yet despite her immense experience in all things equestrian, the Queen would score less points on safety than Diana: while the Princess wears a dark black riding hat, the Queen makes do with a silk scarf knotted round her chin
