Royal Ascot 3: 2019 Onwards

Een dag later is het koningspaar te gast bij de paardenraces van Royal Ascot.

According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, The King and Queen will attend the Ascot Races on Tuesday June 18th

I am not surprised. They are going to be a the Garter Day service and traditionally the Queen has invited foreign royals who have attended the Garter Day service to one of the day's racing. Should be a lovely day for everyone.

I wonder how the visiting royals will be entertained on the Sunday!

I will be surprised if they attend. It doesn’t look like it is their thing as you said.

This would be fab - i am attending that day. Im sure Maxima will wear a fabulous outfit

I hope you'll have a fantastic day! I'm looking forward into seeing Maxima and WA there - alas from my computer screen - too.

Lucky you! I'm sure Maxima will be fabulous, but I'm also wondering whose hat will win the most extravagant hat award, Maxima or Camilla?

King Felipe has another entry in the official agenda on Tuesday 18.06. so at last he will not be there for Ascor. And unlikely that Letizia attends it without him.

I never expected Felipe and Letizia to be at the races , so it doesn’t surprise me at all that Felipe already has another scheduled engagement.

 

[Lady Marlboro]

My bet is Maxima by a mile.

My bet is Maxima by a mile.

I feel you’re forgetting the queen of wacky hats at Ascot - Sophie.

 

[Al_bina]

I feel you’re forgetting the queen of wacky hats at Ascot - Sophie.

Sophie's hats were/are mostly well-chosen.

 

[carina_a]

I think I've only seen Mary & Frederik who are not regulars to attend the races in recent years. It will be nice to see Maxima & WA there, especially with Maxima's colourful personality and HAT.

 

[CyrilVladisla]

Have any members of the Greek Royal Family previously attended Royal Ascot?

Have any members of the Greek Royal Family previously attended Royal Ascot?

I seem to remember Pavlos and Marie Chantal at Ascot a few times

 

[Lady Marlboro]

I was thinking more in terms of big hats rather than wacky. Nobody does big hats like Maxima and Camilla.

He’s probably working.

Zara and Mike are there today.

Master of the Royal Household, Tony Johnston-Burt, replaced Princess Alexandra in the York carriage procession.

Princess Alexandra is not attending in the carriage anymore.

Lots of light blue on the Royal ladies today at Ascot.

 

[Rudolph]

Lovely to see WA and Maxima enjoying their visit to Britain. Not many foreign royals make public visits anymore and it’s nice when HM rolls out the red carpet.
