The passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II witnessed an outpouring of grief around the globe. Formula 1 too mourned the loss of the longest-serving monarch of the UK. However, in the F1 realm, it looks like it was Red Bull boss Christian Horner’s wife Geri Horner who was the most affected by the loss of the Queen.

It is no surprise that Geri had a bond with the deceased Queen. Earlier this year, she appeared in a video message for the Queen for the Platinum Jubilee. Geri lauded the Queen’s efforts for uniting the Commonwealth, among other things. She also called her “inspirational” and thanked her.

Geri Horner decided to not celebrate her 50th birthday

Geri’s 50th birthday party was supposed to be a grand affair. She had even invited her fellow Spice Girls, Emma and Victoria. However, after the news of the Queen’s death came in, she decided to scrap the plan.

She even posted a heartfelt tribute on her Instagram for the Queen. She wrote, “My thoughts and sympathies go to the Royal Family for the loss of their Mother, Grandmother, Aunt. Thank you to Her Majesty for her resolute never-ending service. She is, and always will be the epitome of dignity and elegance.
