Carole Middleton just made a stylish debut at Cheltenham in navy and chocolate brown - and her hat looks rather familiar

Carole Middleton attends day 2 'Ladies Day' of the Cheltenham Festival at Cheltenham Racecourse on March 11, 2026.

I fully expect Zara Tindall to attend Cheltenham Festival every single day again this year, but seeing Carole Middleton joining her on Day 2 took me totally by surprise. She’s partial to a day at the races and she’s stepped out at Ascot multiple times before, though this marked Carole’s Cheltenham debut and she made it in serious style.

The Princess of Wales’s mum steered away from the brights and pastels that are this year’s spring/summer fashion colour trends and dressed in head-to-toe navy and brown. This is such a classic colour combination and meant each individual piece would be so simple to re-style.
