Royal fans are going wild over the ‘cute’ moment the Duchess of Edinburgh broke into dance as she joined some of the winners of the Royal Windsor Horse Show on their victory lap.
Prince Edward’s wife, 59, attended the Berkshire event with her husband and daughter Lady Louise Windsor over the weekend.
After the International Driving event concluded, the royal was invited to join the winners on their victory lap of Castle Arena.
Footage captured by X user and royal fan @Mari_Edinburghs shows the mother-of-two initially walking off the racecourse with her husband and daughter.
But after being called back, Sophie put on a gentle jog as she bounds towards the Australia team’s carriage.

Sophie then did a little dance before stepping into the carriage, which was fronted by four prize-winning horses.
After taking a seat at the front, the royal couldn’t contain her excitement and was seen clapping with glee as they sped off.
Sophie also laughed and waved in Prince Edward’s direction during the victory lap.
The footage was then posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, where it amassed over 53,000 views and proved a hit with royal fans.

Sophie’s appearance at the Royal Windsor Horse Show followed her historic visit to Ukraine last week.
The Duchess of Edinburgh became the first British royal to visit the country since Russia’s invasion.
Sophie, 59, met with President Zelensky and his wife – and passed on a personal message from King Charles – as she showed her solitary with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and torture during her emotional one-day trip.
The mother of-two travelled in her role as champion of the UK’s Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative and the Women, Peace and Security agenda.
It is understood she was ‘keen to show her solidarity with men, women and children affected by the Russian invasion’.
She arrived in the country on the same day at least four people were killed in a barrage of Russian missile strike in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa nearly 300 miles away.
In Kyiv the duchess listened as survivors of sexual violence, both male and female, bravely shared their stories, as well as talking to female IDPs – internally displaced persons – and volunteers who help their communities cope with the trauma of the invasion.
