The Queen and the Turf (The Royal House of Windsor) Kindle Edition

by Helen Cathcart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.1 out of 5 stars 8 ratings
Celebrating a royal passion for horses and racing.

Perfect for readers of Hugo Vickers, James Pope-Hennessey, Philp Ziegler and Christopher Warwick.

‘Refreshing, uninhibited and sincere … a book anyone could enjoy’ – The Scotsman
‘Very revealing … the book is unique’ – The People

Here is the first full story of the Queen’s racing enthusiasms and the first authentic account of Her Majesty’s personal experience as a racehorse owner and racegoer, told with the help of trainers, jockeys and others.

This exhilarating volume traces the early years of the Queen’s racing story, from childhood horse-lover to ebullient racegoer and owner of one of the finest string of racehorses in the world.

Helen Cathcart goes behind the scenes to present a vivid picture of royal racing success and failures, from the Queen’s frail gift-horse to the spectacular triumphs of Aureole, Carrozza, Alexander, High Veldt, Almeria, Doutelle, Pall Mall and many others. Winners of lustrous fame, they come thundering on in a cavalcade of high hopes and disappointments, superb victories, and bitter defeat.

Here is a royal pageant of the Turf rich in some of the most colourful and interesting sporting stories from the younger Queen’s reign.

Praise for Helen Cathcart:
‘Wide acclaim as a royal biographer … objective, uninhibited and penetrating’ – Sunday Express
‘Helen Cathcart writes about royalty as if she were one of them’ – The Daily Mail
‘The doyenne of royal biographers’ – The Daily Telegraph
‘A tireless chronicler of royalty’ – The Guardian

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Lorna Bennett is a voice talent and audiobook narrator.



Helen Cathcart was a prolific writer about the Royal Family, who enjoyed enormous success with her books in the 1960s and 1970s. These emerged with regularity, sold well, and were largely enjoyed (if not always at Buckingham Palace). One mystery surrounded the author-she was never seen. Occasionally journalists visited her agent, Harold Albert, at his cottage near Liphook, and suspected that Helen Cathcart did not exist. Invariably they left less convinced. Only when Harold Albert died was it revealed-in an obituary written by Hugo Vickers-that Harold Albert and Helen Cathcart were one and the same.
