In Pictures: King and Queen Delight Crowds as They Visit Newmarket

On July 22, 2025, King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the National Stud in Newmarket, feeding polo mints to champion racehorse Stradivarius.
As joint-patrons of the Jockey Club since last year, their Majesties' first official visit since 2016 led to the launch of the Queen Elizabeth II Jockey Club Patrons Scholarship for diverse talent.
The King said after the horse crunched the mint loudly; the Queen added 'keep away from their teeth,' and they had viewed four stallions a month after Royal Ascot.
In her remarks, Baroness Dido Harding said 'Looking to the future, the launch of the Jockey Club Patrons Scholarship provides a lasting legacy from today's visit' and added 'It was a great honour to welcome the King and Queen to Newmarket'.
Each year for the next three years two students will be selected from the diversity recruitment pathway for training at the National Stud and the British Racing School, and a plaque will commemorate the visit beside newly planted trees.
