Royal Ascot 2: 2008-2018

[PrincessofEurope]

I will be at Ascot again this year - attending the first day which usually has a large turnout of Royals. Hoping for a good show and will make sure i get a front row standing point in the parade ring for the best pictures.

Thank you Sun Lion. Ascot is a very interesting time for us Royal watchers and I will certainly be taking a look.

Here's an article to get us in the mood Curryong -

No bowties or cravats!

No facinators in the Royal Enclosure this year!

No facinators in the Royal Enclosure this year!

Enlightenment dawns! Shall we see a passel of wide brimmed hats? Wonder why the change of heart regarding fascinators. Wide-brimmed hats can be (if done badly) space inhibitors. ?

I thought fascinators had been banned from the Royal Enclosure for quite some time now.
This article dates back to 2012.

I don't like that they allowed jumpsuits. They may be fashionabe, but definitely not formal.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are attending Ascot today. They'll present the trophy after the St James' Palace Stakes.

I can’t believe I’m watching Royal Ascot live on NBCSNHD in America. It’s on TV Folks!

The Duchess of Sussex in Givenchy [again], and a Philip Treacy hat...

 

[Pranter]

I haven't see a whole body shot but I like her hat and blouse part.

All the royal ladies look lovely today. I especially admire the shade of blue and style on Beatrice.

 

[Dman]

Everyone look wonderful. I’m just happy that I’m able to see Royal Ascot for the very first time in America on my tv.

 

[Al_bina]

First time ... I am disappointed by Sophie's Ascot ensemble. Sleeve embellishments are ugly. Hopefully better photos will make me change my opinion.

 

[An Ard Ri]

I wonder are there any foreign royals at Ascot this year?

I wonder are there any foreign royals at Ascot this year?

Probably from Dubai.

 

[Al_bina]

Qatari royals can be at the Ascot too.

Congrats to Accidental Agent and the winning trainers!

A good video of the Sussexes and Wessexes in the carriage. Love the interaction between Sophie and Meghan.

ITV's sport presenters Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani did a great job covering the carriage procession, praising our amazing Queen, even described her as the best dressed woman in the world.
They were joined by Katie Nicholl, Royal Correspondent for Vanity Fair and The Mail on Sunday (not my favourite royal commentator, but I survived through it).

It seems like Sophie caught a bug in the face. Meghan made sure she was okay and Sophie laughed it off. Love those normal moments.
