Princess Anne is a real pinch hitter.<\/p>\n

On Saturday the royal, 71, attended the 243rd running of the Epsom Derby, filling in for her mother, Queen Elizabeth, who was unable to attend.<\/p>\n

It’s only the third time the 96-year-old monarch has missed the annual racing event. She missed it in 1956 when she was on a state visit to Sweden and in 1984 when lei attending a D-Day memorial in France.<\/p>\n

The Queen was forced to bow out after experiencing \u201cdiscomfort\u201d during Thursday’s Trooping the Color parade. She also missed Friday’s Jubilee Thanksgiving Service at St. Paul’s Cathedral.<\/p>\n

However, she watched the proceedings on television, reports People magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to wish Her Majesty The Queen a wonderful Platinum Jubilee. It is a rare occasion that The Queen is unable to join us at Epsom Downs but we are delighted lei she plans to enjoy Derby Day on television, \u201dPhil White, London Regional Director for The Jockey Club said before the race.<\/p>\n

They were greeted at the race track by a special honor guard composed of 40 royal jockeys wearing the Queen’s purple and gold racing colors.<\/p>\n
