Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is said to be ‘absolutely determined’ to attend the upcoming Platinum Jubilee Epsom Derby event despite her health concerns, with royal aides reportedly moving ‘heaven and earth’ to make it easier for her, reported Express UK.

It comes as the Queen was said to be unable to commit to any of the royal events planned for her Platinum Jubilee owing to her mobility issues.

Talking to The Daily Mail, royal aides have suggested that they’re working super hard to make the Epsom Derby possible for the Queen to attend and have already suggested numerous ways it can be done.

One Palace aide said: “She really is absolutely determined to attend.”

Among the Queen’s helpers’ suggestions to make the event easier for her to attend includes rerouting her car parking spot to one directly in front of the royal box at the derby.

Queen Elizabeth reportedly has three contenders in this years races, including Reach For The Moon, General Idea, and Educator.

Reach For The Moon was notably bred at the Royal Stud at the royals’ Norfolk estate, Sandringham.
