Princess Anne appeared to have trouble taming her horse during the 2024 Trooping the Colour procession in London on Saturday.
Live cameras caught only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip attempting to maintain her composure as her horse began acting unruly while she rode next to two royal guards who were also on horseback.
She eventually got the horse in control and continued on as normal.

Princess Anne, 73, rode in the annual Trooping the Colour with her brother Prince Edward and nephew Prince William.
The parade celebrates the British monarch’s birthday. King Charles III will turn 76 on November 14.
Anne’s role in the parade was the “Gold-Stick-in-Waiting,” which means she was entrusted with her brother’s safety.
While the parade is meant to honor the King, all eyes were on Kate Middleton as she made her first public appearance since announcing she was diagnosed with cancer in March.
The princess went to the event Saturday morning in a car with William, her husband, and their children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
Later on, the mother of three was photographed smiling in a carriage with her family as they followed Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, who were riding in a carriage in front of them.
The Princess of Wales, 42, looked elegant in a simple white dress by Jenny Packham, featuring a large navy and white bow attached to her neckline and a matching waistband. She also wore a wide-brimmed hat designed by Philip Treacy.
She then made her way to the balcony of Buckingham Palace, where she stood beside William, their kids, Charles and Camilla to watch the flypast.
Middleton confirmed she would attend the Trooping the Colour parade on Friday.
“I’m looking forward to attending the king’s birthday parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet,” she cautioned.
“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”
Her cancer news came weeks after Charles made his cancer diagnosis public.
“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” Buckingham Palace announced in February. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
On Saturday, Middleton and her father-in-law were seen sharing a sweet moment when they laughed together as they chatted on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
