Queen Camilla becomes royal patron of British Racing School

Queen Camilla has been appointed as the royal patron of the British Racing School, which provides training for aspiring professionals in the horse racing industry. This announcement comes after her visit to the school during its 40th anniversary celebrations in 2023, where she engaged with students and horses, including Schematic, a former racehorse owned by the royal family. The school's chief executive, Andrew Braithwaite, expressed gratitude for the Queen's support, emphasizing her commitment to promoting opportunities for young people in racing. This role adds to her existing patronages in the equestrian field, reflecting her long-standing association with British horse racing. The British Racing School, which was opened by King Charles III in 1983, aims to equip youth with the skills necessary for successful careers in the racing industry. The Queen's involvement is seen as a significant boost for the school's mission to expand access to horse racing for diverse communities.
