The final day of the 2023 Royal Ascot was a grand affair, with King Charles and Queen Camilla leading the Royal procession.

The couple were all smiles as they waved to the crowds at the event, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England.

The King, aged 74, looked dashing in a light grey three-piece morning suit, adorned with a light pink buttonhole and a patterned pocket square, and a black top hat.

The monarch’s gold cuff links could be seen as he gestured to the crowds during the procession.

Queen Camilla, aged 75, looked elegant in a buttermilk silk dress by Anna Valentine, which had a scoop neckline, long sleeves and a flared mid-length skirt.

She wore matching court heels, gloves and a hat by designer Philip Treacy, who also created her wedding headpiece, which had a burst of feathers to the side.

Gold earrings and a necklace completed her outfit.

The Royal couple were joined in their carriage by the Earl of Caledon and his wife the Countess of Caledon.

The second carriage was occupied by Lord Frederick Windsor and his wife Lady Sophie Windsor, Princess Zahra Aga Khan and Lady Weatherby.

In the third carriage was Prince Michael of Kent’s daughter Lady Gabriela and her husband Thomas Kingston, horse trainer Andrew Balding and his wife Annalisa.

The fourth and final carriage of the procession was occupied by soon-to-retire jockey Frankie Detry and his wife Catherine Detry, with horse trainer Jamie Snowden and his wife Lucy Snowden.

As the Royal couple watched the first race of the day, they were joined by Lady Gabriela and Kingston as well as Lady Sophie, who is also known for her role in the British TV comedy Peep Show.

All appeared riveted by the race, with Charles in particular focused intently on the action on the track.

The King was also spotted in conversation with a smiling Lady Sophie, who stood out on the day in a chic yellow dress and white hat, as the pair walked through the racecourse.

The happy afternoon for the King and Queen came after Kate Middleton and Prince William made their first appearance at the 2023 Royal Ascot on Friday.

Although William and Kate, both aged 41, have attended the famous horse races numerous times in the past, this marked their debut at the event since becoming the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Prince William looked dapper in a top hat and suit, while Kate dazzled in a red dress by Alexander McQueen, her royal wedding dress designer, paired with a matching hat, also by Philip Treacy.

She accessorised with statement gold earrings and a clutch.

The Royal couple arrived for the fourth day of the annual event in the Royal Procession, riding in a horse-drawn carriage behind Charles and Camilla.

In the third carriage was Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and the late Queen Elizabeth’s cousin Prince Michael of Kent and his wife.

In a surprise addition to the Royal Procession, actor Dame Judi Dench rode with her partner, David Mills, and the former US Ambassador to the UK William Farish, a close friend of the late Queen.
