Celebrities, punters, and the usual guard of Britain’s upper crust have dusted down their tails and practised how to conceal their giant new hat’s fiddly elastic under their hair — for Royal Ascot 2024 has arrived.
The five-day affair started with cigar smoke, sunshine and a smile from King Charles on Tuesday, June 18. It was a strong turnout from the royals, with sightings of Queen Camilla, unmissable in a Cobalt blue outfit from Fiona Clare Couture, Princess Anne, wearing a red, embroidered dress coat, Zara Tindall, who opted for a puff-sleeve, lemon Laura Green dress with gold flying-saucer boater, and Princess Eugenie in mint green Diane von Furstenberg.
