An awkward moment happened when the Queen was hit in the face with a black scarf at the Royal Windsor Cup Polo match. But, she looked calm.
The Queen was Looking radiant in a bold pink coat and floral dress, as she didn’t react and remained composed when the scarf blew into her face in the breeze as she descended the stairs from the royal viewing box, while Gillian Anderson looked horrified after watching this.
The actress seemed terrified by the unintentional breach of protocol which saw Japanese musician Yoskiki came to save his scarf from the queen’s face.
The musician is the leader of rock group X Japan, and he also appeared taken aback and was open-mouthed, while the Queen carried on, as usual, to make a presentation at the Royal Windsor Cup.
Nevertheless, Queen Elizabeth II was smiling as she greeted guests today, at her sixth engagement in seven days.
Her Majesty, 93, presents the trophy to the winning team at the end of the event at the Guards Polo Club, Windsor Great Park.
The Queen wore a bright pink dress and she accessorized with a matching hat which was decorated with flowers, a pearl necklace, and earrings as well as a silver brooch to complete her sophisticated look. To finish her ensemble the Queen added a pair of classic white gloves and her trademark black handbag.
Japanese company Out-Sourcing Inc sponsored the event this year, and described on the polo club’s website as a blend of ‘of fast-paced sport, fine dining’ and ‘a sprinkling of Hollywood glamour.’
David M. Matsumoto, who is an executive adviser, said: ‘I am truly happy and grateful and feel it is an honor to be able to be involved in this wonderful event.’
The Guards Polo Club was founded on January 25, 1955, with Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as President.
Earlier, known as Household Brigade Polo Club was changed to its present form in 1969 and became a fully civilian club in 2000.
There are currently some 1,000 non-playing members and about 160 playing members.
