CHELTENHAM, England — Queen Camilla has comforted the girlfriend of a jockey who recently died following a fall as the horse forever linked to his career won at the prestigious Cheltenham Festival. Camilla kissed and put a reassuring arm on Charlotte Giles. Giles had joined trainer Barry Connell on the winning podium after his horse, Marine Nationale, won the feature race of the day: the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Marine Nationale was ridden to victory in 2023 in another big Cheltenham race, the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, by Michael O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan died last month from his injuries following a fall at Thurles Racecourse in his native Ireland.
