Hampton Court welcomed royalty back to the palace as Prince Michael of Kent attended the Horse Rangers’ Association's 60th anniversary carol service last week.

Prince Michael, a cousin of the Queen, was among 100 guests at the carol service and the charity’s birthday party in the garden room of the palace on Sunday, December 7.

The Horse Rangers, founded in 1954, offers 400 children, including many with special needs, the opportunity to learn horse management and riding.
