King Charles is known to have eliminated a part of his late mom’s massive assortment of horse-related statues, work and trophies from sight and put them into storage.

The reigning monarch is making an attempt to furnish the royal residences to his personal style, with the King being much less in favour than the late Queen of equestrian-based ornaments. 

In {a photograph} taken in February 2022 at Windsor, Queen Elizabeth may be seen with two horse statues on the mantel above the fireplace.

One exhibits a horse and groom and the opposite depicts the then Princess Elizabeth, aged 10, on her first pony, the Telegraph reports. When Her Majesty met then Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2020 the identical two ornaments had been seen. 

The Queen’s ardour for he favorite four-legged animal, alongside corgis, was nicely documented and she or he usually obtained horse-based presents from international dignitaries and when she was on tour. 

In different images the Queen was usually seen with a gold horse statue on her desk. Sources say the equestrian artwork was closely on show in Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. 

One informed the Telegraph: “As The King spends more time at Buckingham Palace and Windsor a small number of items of decorative arts are gradually being rearranged as you would expect.”

The King is starting a sequence of engagements in Scotland, marking the primary Holyrood Week since his coronation. There might be a particular ceremony of thanksgiving at St Giles’ Cathedral on Wednesday, the place Charles might be introduced with the Honours of Scotland – the nation’s crown jewels.
