Its saddle has supported the world’s most famous bottom across 3,000 miles of tough terrain.

The money is going towards the BHF and the Michael Matthews Foundation, named after a close friend of Pippa’s who died in 1999 aged just 22.
‘The challenge of riding across the Rockies, coping with the heat of the Arizona desert and climbing over 170,000 feet in the six days was incredibly tough, but every inch of the 3,000-mile race was worth it, to help the BHF,’ she said.
