A Brief History of Royals in America

Queen Elizabeth II, 2007
A noted horse enthusiast and frequent wearer of fine hats, Queen Elizabeth II fit in perfectly when she watched the 133rd Kentucky Derby. Wearing a lime-green wool coat, silk dress and lime-green hat with a large fuchsia bow, the Queen flew to Kentucky with her husband Prince Philip. The pair watched Street Sense win by two and a quarter lengths. Absent the royal luck two weeks later in the Preakness, Street Sense lost by a nose, preventing a run at the Triple Crown.
