King Charles 'shocked and saddened' over soldier's 'unexplained' death at horse show he attended

King Charles III expressed shock and sadness following the death of a British soldier at the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Friday evening. The soldier, a member of the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, died after a fall after their display. While the royal family was present at the arena, they were not immediately aware of the severity of the incident. Police are investigating the "unexplained but non-suspicious death" and are appealing for information. The horse show will continue on Saturday, but without another display by the King's Troop. The King met with members of the King's Troop on Saturday and will be in touch with the soldier's family.
