The Queen will celebrate her 96th birthday in Sandringham, Norfolk Manor, where she enjoyed family reunions with the Duke of Edinburgh.
To mark the occasion, the organizers of the Royal Windsor Horse Show released an image of the monarch taken last month at Windsor Castle.
This comes after an eventful Easter holiday during which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited her.

Harry said his grandmother was “in great shape” when they met before he and his wife Megan traveled to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.
Speaking to NBC’s Today, he added that he wanted to make sure she was “protected” and had “the right people around her.”
The monarch is believed to remain at the Duke of Edinburgh’s Wood Farm villa while in Sandringham, a property she said her late husband “loves” and is part of his attraction because “the sea was so close”.
The Queen commented on the property when she hosted a rare public event in Sandringham on February 5, on the eve of her platinum anniversary.

Speaking to the Queen the other day, Theresa Thompson, a 70-year-old retired Wood Farm housekeeper, said: “The whole royal family loves Wood Farm because it’s far from the road, it’s small, it’s intimate.
“You don’t have many officials, only close staff.
“And they can literally relax in the family home, it’s wonderful, and I had a wonderful 22 years down there, it was the best moment of my life without a doubt.”

Dressed in an elegant ivory dress and decorated with custom decorations, the doll also has a tiara modeled on a tiara with fringes of Queen Mary, which Queen Elizabeth II wore on her own wedding day.
The pink ribbon in the figure mimics the one given to Her Majesty by her father George VI, while the blue one is based on a gift from her grandfather George V.
It will be presented in a box inspired by the styles of Buckingham Palace and will include an interior panel showing the throne and the red carpet of the throne room.
