Every year in June, a small town in Berkshire can look forward to high-profile visitors. The horse race at Ascot is a must for Queen Elizabeth II.
Ascot – In 1945, Queen Elizabeth II (95) attended the traditional equestrian event for the first time, and since then – with the exception of 2020 – she has not missed a racing week. Also this year, the horse race in Ascot was at the top of the British Royals’ program.
On the opening day, Prince Charles (72) and Duchess Camilla (73) watched the first races in the VIP area, and Princess Anne (70) and Countess Sophia (56) also appeared in Ascot. However, the head of the British royal family did not appear until the last day of the five-day high society event. Accompanied by her racing manager John Warren, Queen Elizabeth II visited the Ascot * racetrack, which is just a stone’s throw from Windsor Castle.
She renounced the traditional carriage procession and traveled by car. The regent, who wore a mint green dress with a matching coat and the obligatory hat, was greeted with loud applause from the visitors. England’s most famous horse lover chatted lively with the jockeys. To the delight of Royal fans, the Queen found her smile again after the death of Prince Philip (99, † 2021). * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
