Animal lover

The Queen has owned more than 30 corgis, with many of them direct descendants from her first one, Susan. Now she has only two - Holly and Willow - and does not plan to get any more.

She is also very passionate about horses. She rides, breeds, and races them, and once held a private audience with the Horse Whisperer.
