The Queen visits the 2007 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited Churchill Downs in 2007 to enjoy the 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby.
Footage from the documentary ‘Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work’ shows The Queen and Prince Philip on an official State Visit to the United States of America.
Halfway through their visit, all official engagements were paused so Her Majesty could fulfil a lifelong dream and spend the day at the Kentucky Derby.
In this clip, The Queen’s Press Secretary Penny Russell-Smith organised a photo opportunity for the media, with The Sun’s Royal Photographer Arthur Edwards trying to bag the money shot.
