It's almost that time of year when the royals don their best dresses, suits and hats and all enjoy a day at the races.
Royal Ascot returns on Tuesday and there's no doubt we will see various members of the Firm having a great day out in all of their finery.
It's unclear if the Queen will be able to make any of the days at this year's event - but in the past, it's been where she can enjoy her favourite sport while sharing a laugh with her family.
And one family member who had her in a fit of giggles at Royal Ascot in 2019 was Mike Tindall - when he had a strange surprise.
Looking very smart in full tails on the first day of the event, Mike, who is married to the Queen's granddaughter Zara took off his hat as he greeted Her Majesty
But he then surprised everyone by pulling something out of it - a tiny top hat, which he then popped back inside his big hat before placing it on his head.

Footage of the prank shows not only the Queen cracking up but Princess Beatrice and Sophie Wessex who were standing by.
And it led to royal fans to ask, where did Mike get his tiny top hat from. Luckily, all was explained later by the Telegraph's Camilla Tominey.
He told her: "It is a chocolate hat that I am taking home for my daughter Mia.
"I was given it at lunch but it is really annoying to store in a pocket so I decided to put it in my top hat instead."
However, it's unknown if Mike will have the chance to crack the Queen up again this year as there is a question mark over whether she will attend or take part in the meeting's traditional carriage procession.
The monarch usually attends every day of the horse racing meeting and takes part in a procession at the beginning of each day by riding in a horse-drawn landau carriage.
She has travelled in a carriage into the racecourse nearly every year of her reign until the Covid pandemic.
But due to her apparent discomfort in travelling in horse-drawn carriages, the Daily Mail reports that at this year's Royal Ascot, she will arrive by car instead.
A source told the publication's Richard Eden: "It’s the end of an era. Carriages are no longer possible for Her Majesty.
"It’s not the ride that’s the problem, but the steep steps that are needed to get into and down from the landau.
"The Queen hopes very much to attend Royal Ascot, each day if possible. She will arrive by car, though."
In recent months, the Queen has been forced to pull out of several high-profile events including the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, a thanksgiving service at St Paul's on her Jubilee weekend and the State Opening of Parliament due to her mobility issues..
