One of the few Australians invited to the Queen’s funeral will not be able to attend.

Chris Waller, who famously trained the four-time Horse of the Year Winx, had been invited to attend.

But he announced this afternoon he would be staying home “due to COVID-19 related circumstances”.

“Like so many others, I will live with and cherish for the rest of my life the fond memories I have of Her Majesty; her love of horses and all animals, her passion for life, and the respect she gave everyday people,” Waller said.

“What a great life Her Majesty lived, and what an inspiration she was, and will continue to be, to so many generations around the globe.”

Waller thanked Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the people of Australia for giving him the opportunity to attend.
