King Charles and Queen Camilla wave to fans as they arrive for the final day of Royal


King Charles and Queen Camilla were all smiles as they led the procession for the final day of Royal Ascot this afternoon.

The monarch, 74, wore traditional charcoal morning suit and black top hat as he arrived in a horse-drawn carriage with his wife.

Meanwhile, Queen Camilla, 75, looked effortlessly elegant in a white coat dress by Anna Valetine and matching feathered hat by her go-to designer Philip Treacy.

The stylish royal paired her sophisticated piece of outerwear with a simple gold necklace.

Camilla has worn two other Anna Valentine coat dresses this week, including the one she previously picked for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018.

Meanwhile, Philip Treacy – who also created Camilla’s wedding headpieces – has been the royal’s go-to hat designer this week.

The royal couple were joined by the Earl of Caledon – who carried Northern Ireland’s Standard at their Coronation last month – and his wife.

Lord Frederick Windsor and his wife Lady Sophie followed behind the King and Queen in the second carriage.

The pair shared a carriage with Princess Zahra Aga Khan, who will be presenting a trophy today, and Lady Weatherby, who is the wife of the late Queen’s Ascot representative.

Prince Michael of Kent’s daughter Lady Gabriella and her husband Thomas Kingston followed in the third carriage with horse trainer Andrew Balding and his wife Anna-Lisa.

Finally, retiring jockey Frankie Dettori and his wife Catherine – who will also be presenting an award today – arrived in the fourth carriage in the procession with Jamie and Lucy Snowden.

Frankie – who makes leaping out of the saddle his trademark move – hit a new milestone yesterday when he hit 80 winners at Ascot yesterday.

The British royal family have been out in force at the event this week, with the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Anne, 71, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Beatrice, 33, and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 38, all attending.

Yesterday, the Princess of Wales, 41, looked sensational in a scarlet Alexander McQueen dress as she attended Ascot.

During her visit to the Berkshire races, Kate enjoyed chats with her royal relatives including the Duchess of Edinburgh, 58, and also other famous faces including Dame Judi Dench.

On Thursday, King Charles and Queen Camila both shed a tear when they secured their first ever Ascot win.

The royal couple were overcome with emotion as they watched their horse Desert Hero win the King George V race from the royal box, after two losses.

Throughout the week Princess Anne, Princess Beatrice and Mike and Zara Tindall have also been spotted enjoying the races.

This year, organisers have displayed a heartwarming collection of photos of the Queen visiting Ascot over the years.

They include a black-and-white photo of the royal riding on the tracks in 1960 when she was 34 years old. 

The mother-of-four was pictured with a headscarf and riding boots on as her horse galloped along the track.

The Queen was taking part in an unofficial race with other members of her royal party and ended up finishing fourth. 

What’s more, the organisers also selecting a photograph of the Queen beaming at Ladies Day in 2013. 

The event turned out to be one of the Queen’s most successful Ascots as her horse Estimate won the Gold Cup – making her the first monarch in 200 years to scoop the prize.

The late royal was pictured beaming at her trophy, which was presented to her by her son Prince Andrew. 

The Queen was dressed in one of her signature coat dresses in a pretty shade of purple. 

Underneath her jacket, the monarch wore a pretty floral dress – which perfectly complimented the flowers on her hat. 

In the image, the Queen is seen wearing a three-strand pearl necklace – which she also wore to her final ever Ascot in June 2021.
