Royal Ascot 3: 2019 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
While its sad that Ascot will not be held this year, its totally understandable.
 
They could do what is happening in Australia - and hold the meetings with no crowds.

Sydney is still running its major autumn carnival over the Easter period with the Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day running on Easter Saturday as per usual.
 
It will be like playing football in an empty stadium. The only winners would be the bookies.

Royal Ascot isn't just the horse racing. It is the sun, the people, the hats the fans, the betting on the colour the Queen wears each day, the guessing who will be in the Carriage Procession.

It is the total sum of its parts held together by an electric atmosphere of people from the stable hands to the royal party without which it would become a parody staged for cash and the winners could end up losers because there is no way they could keep six foot distances.

Is it really worth It? I think not.
 
That's a great pic of them.

Charles and Peter seemed to have a very animated conversation.
 
Charles and Peter seemed to have a very animated conversation.

I always enjoy watching Charles as he interacts with his nieces and nephews and this was no exception. They appeared to really enjoy their chat and it was good to see him visiting with Zara, Beatrice, and Edo. I was really hoping we'd see Lindsay with Peter but maybe later in the week.
 
It's wonderful to see them interracting with so much love !
