Die Augen der Welt waren auf Prinz Harry und Meghan Markle als das glückliche Paar am Samstag (19. Mai 2018) in der St. George's Chapel auf dem Gelände von Windsor Castle den Bund fürs Leben geschlossen hat. Alle Augen, das heißt, außer denen, die zu Reitern gehören.

1. Das würzige Grau

Nun saß der Vorreiter auf dem rüstigen Windsor Grey, der den frisch vermählten Herzog und die Herzogin von Sussex begleitete.

2. Das faszinierende berittene Regiment der Household Cavalry

Zuschauer mit Adleraugen haben die glänzenden Pferde vielleicht vom musikalischen Ritt bei der Royal Windsor Horse Show in der Vorwoche wiedererkannt.

3. The Household Cavalry… Again

Because you can never have too many photos of the Household Cavalry - and we’re still feeling mesmerised by that sparkly tack.

4. The heroic police horses

Thames Valley Police’s mounted section were out and about, protecting the crowds and the happy couple, with the help of horses and officers from South Wales Police.

It has been a great privilege to have played our part in keeping the public & the new Duke & Duchess of Sussex safe on their wedding day #RoyalWedding P5927 pic.twitter.com/tOlkiogjtK

6. Apropos Fahrer…

and of course the ultimate equestrian hero: the queen (who we imagine would have been keeping a keen eye on the equine stars of the day…)
