Royal Ascot is underway in Berkshire, England, which means members of the royal family are stepping out in their most elegant fashion and biggest hats.
The five-day horse-racing event kicked off at Ascot Racecourse on Tuesday and finishes on Saturday. Royal Ascot is well known for its fashion and strict dress code — women in the Royal Enclosure are asked to wear hats and dresses that "fall just above the knee or longer," while men must wear morning suits with top hats, waistcoats, and black shoes.
Royals including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Kate Middleton, Princess Anne, and Princess Beatrice have been spotted enjoying the event so far. Here are photos of the royals' outfits from the week.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived at the first day of Royal Ascot 2023 wearing simple, yet regal, looks.
On Tuesday, June 20, Charles wore a light-grey suit, a silver tie, and a black top hat, while Camilla opted for a buttercream-colored custom coatdress by Dior with a matching wide-brimmed hat, white gloves, and kitten heels.
For day two, Camilla chose another coatdress — this time in pale pink — while Charles wore a blue tie with his grey suit and top hat.
On Wednesday, Camilla paired her pale-pink coatdress by Anna Valentine with a hat designed by Philip Treacy, a favorite milliner of the royals.
Charles wore a pink tie on the third day of Royal Ascot.
The third day of Royal Ascot is known as "Ladies Day," and many attendees embrace more traditionally feminine looks in celebration of the theme.
On the third day of Royal Ascot, Camilla wore a mint-green coatdress by Anna Valentine and a feather-trimmed hat by Philip Treacy.
According to Hello! magazine, Camilla also wore a diamond brooch that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.
The family heirloom might have proved lucky for the royal. On the third day of Royal Ascot, the King and Queen's horse Desert Hero finished first during the King George V Stakes Gold Cup event. The win resulted in a $65,650 prize, according to Sky Sports.
For the fourth day, Camilla wore a bold black-and-white hat.
The queen relied on the same designers for day four: She wore a white dress by Anna Valentine and a hat by Philip Treacy.
