Princess Anne started her two-day visit to Paris last weekend with a visit to Longchamp Racecourse to watch the 100th Prix de L Arc de Triomphe, Europe s richest horse race. After the race, Princess Anne presented the prize to the winner in front of an audience of millions.

Torquator Tasso was trained by Rene Piechulek and was ridden by Marcel Weiss. The winner received a prize of 278, 000 euros. The horse racing god Torquator Tasso won the title of Best at odds of 80 1 - a victory described as one of the biggest shocks in the history of horse racing. She has been a member of the International Olympic Committee for many years and she is going to meet representatives of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics. The visit to Paris is the first time the Princess has been abroad in 2021. In 2019 the Princess Royal was involved in nearly 500 engagements. She packs four or five engagements in a single day into her itinerary, which sometimes makes it difficult for her team members to explain.
