Queen wins Tesco gift card, looks happier than we've seen her in years

LONDON -- We're not sure if it's the Tesco vouchers, winning on the horses or some combination of the two that's made the Queen so deliriously excited, but one thing's for sure: she's having a really, really good day.

The Royal Windsor Horse Show took place on Thursday in the grounds of Windsor Castle. There were plenty of horses in attendance, such as these glossy white beasts.

The excitement started when the Queen's horse, Barber's Shop, triumphed in the Tattersalls & RoR Thoroughbred Ridden Show -- and earned Her Majesty a special prize.

Here is what we can only assume is the source of all her happiness.

We don't know what the value of that voucher is -- or whether or not the the Queen is a regular Tesco shopper -- but frankly these are minor details. Sometimes the winning is all that matters.

Best.
