Princess Anne started her two-day visit to Paris by visiting Longchamp Racecourse to watch the 100th Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe, Europe’s richest horse race. After the race, Princess Anne presented the trophy to the winner in front of an audience of millions.
Torquator Tasso was ridden by Rene Piechulek and was trained by Marcel Weiss.
The winner picked up a prize money of 2,857,000 euros.
Torquator Tasso won at odds of 80/1 – a victory described as one of the biggest shocks in the history of horse racing.
The Princess Royal’s trip is connected to sport.
She has been a member of the International Olympic Committee for many years and she is going to meet representatives of the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics.
The trip to Paris is the first time the Princess has travelled abroad in 2021.
In 2019 the Princess Royal was involved in nearly 500 engagements.
She packs four or five engagements in a single day into her itinerary, which sometimes makes it hard for her team members.
