History was made on Thursday when King Charles and Queen Camilla had their first ever winner at Royal Ascot.
Their majesties, attending the world famous race five-day meeting for the first time since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, were the centre of joyous scenes when Desert Hero got up on the line in a thrilling climax to the King George V Stakes.
The King and Queen, who now jointly own the royal string of thoroughbreds, had endured a winless first two days of the fixture.
