Fans of Prince William (41) and Princess Kate (41) had to wait until the fourth day of the famous Royal Ascot horse race before the couple joined the other members of the local royal family. But the wait was worth it, just because of Kate’s outfit. The princess donned a bright red Alexander McQueen dress. According to the “Hello” magazine, designer Philip Treacy contributed the perfectly matching hat, while her statement earrings are from the French brand Sezane. Of course, her handbag and shoes also matched the outfit – a “Lady in Red”.
But Prince William had also dressed up for the visit: in a three-piece suit and with a tie and the obligatory top hat, he drove up next to his wife in a carriage. Also on board: William’s cousin Princess Beatrice (34) and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (39).
Together, Prince William and Princess Kate then had the honor of presenting the trophy to the winner of the Coronation Cup, it is said.
The column of carriages was once again led by King Charles III. (74) and Queen Camilla (75). They were joined on day four by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire on the drive.
From June 20th to 24th, 2023, the traditional horse race Royal Ascot will take place – for the first time without Queen Elizabeth (1926 – 2022). Consequently, as the new patron, King Charles III. takes his late mother’s place at her favorite event. While he has long been considered a horseracing agnostic, his wife Camilla is the opposite: According to the Daily Mail, she is known to have been a lifelong horseracing fan. At the previous races in Ascot, she was therefore very excited.
