Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has appeared all smiles after winning a voucher through the victory of one of her horses at a horse show.

There are no small savings, even for the (very wealthy) British Queen Elizabeth II who appeared all smiles after winning a voucher worth 50 pounds (96 Canadian Dollars) thanks to the victory of a her horses at the annual horse show. The week finally ended rather well for the sovereign, who made headlines in the press after the release of a video in which she describes as "very rude" Chinese officials for their behavior during the October visit of President Xi Jinping in the UK.

Thursday at the "Royal Windsor Horse Show", this passionate equestrian attended the victory of her Barber's Shop in horse trials of the prestigious competition held near Windsor Castle, one of her official residences located forty kilometers west of London. Wearing a royal blue quilted jacket, a scarf and a tweed skirt, the Queen was given an envelope containing a voucher for £ 50 to spend at Tesco, a major British supermarket chains. Visibly in high spirits, she laughed discovering the reward.

"We hope this prize will give a little boost to the royal weekly shopping" a spokesman for Tesco commented with a touch of irony. For besides the fact that Her Majesty, who has just turned 90, has hardly accustomed to shopping itself, it is indeed perhaps not uninteresting to note that the royal family spent in in 2015 some 1.3 million pounds (1.65 million euros) to fill his pantry or 25,000 pounds per week. The expenses of the royal family are partly funded by British taxpayers, who paid as such 37.9 million pounds in fiscal year 2014-15. According to the Sunday Times, Elizabeth II is the head of a fortune estimated at about 340 million pounds (431 million euros).

The British Royal Courts: The Red hair princes opens up

If life of a prince of the British crown undeniably has its advantages, it is not without drawbacks. Prince Harry spoke with British media the "Sunday Times", when told that "little privacy," he has left. "If I find a girlfriend, I do my best for her and I are at home together before his private life is inevitably invaded. The other concern is that when I speak to a girl, it's like she is suddenly my wife and people will knock on her door, "says Harry, who has kept these two serious relationships in recent years, with Cressida Bonas and before that, Chelsea Davy.

For the young prince, now a darling of the media, things have not always been easy. He said he experienced moments "very dark" when an Australian newspaper revealed that he was engaged in the military in Afghanistan. "Having to go and leave my friends out there ... It was one of the worst moments of my life," he explains to the "Times." However, if the army lacks the prince says he could not find a normal job. "I seriously thought about finding work. I did ten years in the army, it was the best job in the world. I wanted the company consider myself that way. It do not help me to stay home, ass in a chair-and I mean the part of the body, I said, it's not a dirty word. "However, finding a job like any other when is part of "the Firm" as it sometimes called the British royal family, is not so easy. "Some jobs are inaccessible, unfortunately."

Prince George and Princess Charlotte uncle, the children of his brother William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, is not done illusions about his future. "I am in a privileged position and I will use it as long as I can or until I become boring. Or until George becomes more interesting than me, "he amuses. Very committed to the veterans, the Prince is currently involved in the Invictus Games, a sporting event for veterans. Yet Harry suspects that its ability to raise capital depends on his sympathy. "There's nothing worse than through a period of your life when you contribute to change and suddenly, for one reason or another, be it the media or a change in perception people to you, you dive. Want to contribute but nobody listens to you, "he says.

His commitment, he said, is the legacy of his mother, Diana. "I do not track my way consciously imagining that my mother would be proud of me. But I think she would be very proud, "said the prince. "With me, there is nothing hidden, everything is authentic. I always try to bring some fun and joy in everything I do. That probably comes from my mother, I try to fill that void. In his footsteps or those of the queen, it's hard, "says Harry.
