MIRROR NEWSPAPER
15 June 2005 - COUNTESS LOOKS SATELLITE DISHY - Wessex wows Ascot fans. By Paul Byrne

THE Countess of Wessex looked a picture yesterday in an Ascot hat that resembled a satellite dish. Her grey tweed outfit was flecked with black and white and she had a white Yorkshire rose on her hat to mark the meeting's move to York.​

It is being held there for the first time in 294 years because of a £185million refurbishment at the Berkshire course.​

Satellite Dish Outbreak

This one seems to have been lost in the mix; I noticed it in one of ~*~Humera's~*~ photos. I have cropped it so it's not really a duplicate pic. Anyway, the lady next to the Duke of York is also wearing an obviously modish and very "now" satellite dish hat. We can only hope this fashion is short-lived.

I think she is the Countess of Derby.

what is lady's day?

 

[Elspeth]

According to the Royal Ascot website, Ladies' day is the colloquial name for the day the Gold Cup race is run, because it's the most popular day of the meeting and so attracts more female visitors.

Queen Elizabeth II and other member of the royal family atends the third day of Royal Ascot 2005, Ladie's Day, at York Racecourse on June 16, 2005 in York, England. One of the highlights of the racing and social calendars, Royal Ascot was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne and royal patronage continues to the present day with a Royal Procession taking place in front of the grandstands each day. This year's Royal Meeting is relocated to York Racecourse due to a major redevelopment programme at Ascot, due to re-open in 2006.

Are you sure that's a new hat on Anne? I'm certain I've seen the hat (and the outfit) several times already.

Oh yes,Kelly you were right,she had worn it before:

Royal Ascot 2005 - Day Four

 

[Amira]

Queen Elizabeth II is seen at the presentation of The Golden Jubilee Stakes at York Racecourse on June 18, 2005 at York, England. Today was the fith day of The Royal Meeting which this year is being held at the Yorkshire track due to redevelopment at Ascot. The meeting features some of the flat seasons best racing and displays of the finest fashions.

Does anyone know who was with the Countess of Wessex in the carriage on day 2 of Ascot, I know the question was asked before but it was than lost in the muddle?

 

[kelly9480]

The man is the Earl of Derby, but I can't place the woman.

 

[Claire]

I was reading the hat rules for the Royal enclosure and I don't think that Sophie's hat passed the bill.

However the hat looks 'better' from this side, and I have seen almost seven people wearing similiar hats at Ascot, so yes the saucer shaped head thing has made a revival.

Looking at all these pictures makes me actually realise the difference between all the royals and commoners. The all have soo much class. They all look so splendid

 

[Saragli]

Did Camilla ever attend ascot before marrying Charles. I loved her hat at the most recent Ascot but I have always wondered if she attended with Andrew or on her own in the olden days.

 

[Elspeth]

I think she did, because wasn't there some instance where she and her husband were invited to the Royal Enclosure, and people were saying that it was the Queen's way of showing support for Charles and sending a message to Diana or something?

im not sure about Sarah,Duchess of York attend Ascot before she marry to Prince Andrew?

sarah attend in 1985 because diana invited her.

 

[Lady Jean]

The June 1985 Ascot was when Andrew and Sarah first noticed a spark. She also attended in June 1986 before the wedding. Remember she wore that color-blocked dress of white, green, and black or navy which was not one of her better fashion choices.
