It’s shaping up to be a busy day for King Charles – after he attended a Windrush service at St George’s Chapel marking 75 years since historic migration of Caribbean and Commonwealth citizens to Britain.

The British royal family have been out in force at the event this week, with King Charles, Camilla, Princess Anne, 71, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Beatrice, 33, and Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi, 38, all attending.

Zara and Mike Tindall lead the royal arrivals today, with more of The Firm expected to be seen today.

Sabrina Elba, the actress wife of superstar Idris Elba, led the glamour today in a Kate Middleton-inspired white Self Portrait dress suit and beret, which costs £710. 

Zara stunned in a french lace short sleeve dress from Scanlan Theodore, which she paired with a fascinator with pretty flower detail. 

Many of the female dressers made the most of the relaxed new rules – which allows people to dress from male and female dress codes regardless of their gender – with women in trousers and three-piece suits.

Sir Clive Alderton, and his wife Lady Alderton, Private Secretary to King Charles III and Queen Camilla, also joined in the races fun

While others opted for plunging necklines and teetering heels which will no doubt be kicked off as the festivities continue. 

Yesterday the action hotted up as the champagne flowed and guests got very merry into the night. 

As the drinks kept coming and revellers began celebrating their wins, they began to loosen up and lark about with each other, in good spirits on a sunny day.

Among the scenes of revellers who were heading home after a day of partying were savvy women who had ditched their high heels in favour of sensible flat shoes to travel home in, as well as a gentleman who had picked up some snacks to tide him over for the evening. 

Stylish attendees made for a colourful and glamorous display as they arrived at the racecourse earlier for another day of nail-biting races and plenty of partying.

Many opted for wild and wonderful outfits for the occasion, with some taking advantage of this year’s updated dress-code which permits women to wear trousers.

The glamorous scenes at the beginning of day two, where white seemed to be the colour of the moment among the earliest attendees, come after hilarious antics captured last night as the opening day of the festival came to a close.

Before the Queen’s Vase got underway, the Queen was seen nervously swaying in anticipation.

Frankie Dettori was cheered as he won the Queen’s Vase and performed his trademark celebration of jumping out of the saddle onto the ground.  

Despite their losses on the racecourse, the royal couple appeared in great spirits as they met with other members of their family. 

King Charles and Queen Camilla left Zara Tindall in stitches earlier in the afternoon. 

The opening of Royal Ascot 2023 saw plenty of royals descend on the racecourse to celebrate King Charles’s first event as monarch.

Included in the royal line-up was King Charles and Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Zara and Mike Tindall, and Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

This year, organisers of the race have paid tribute to Royal Ascot’s ‘biggest fan’, Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away last September.

During her 70-year reign, Her late Majesty attended almost every single Royal Ascot festival, with the exception of last year.

This year, organisers have displayed a heartwarming collection of photos of the Queen visiting Ascot over the years.

They include a black-and-white photo of the royal riding on the tracks in 1960 when she was 34 years old. 

The mother-of-four was pictured with a headscarf and riding boots on on as her horse galloped along the track.

The Queen was taking part in an unofficial race with others members of her royal party and ended up finishing fourth. 

What’s more, the organisers also selecting a photograph of the Queen beaming at Ladies Day in 2013. 

The event turned out to be one of the Queen’s most successful Ascots as her horse Estimate won the Gold Cup – making her the first monarch in 200 years to scoop the prize.

The late royal was pictured beaming at her trophy, which was presented to her by her son Prince Andrew. 

The Queen was dressed in one of her signature coat dresses in a pretty shade of purple. 

Underneath her jacket, the monarch wore a pretty floral dress – which perfectly complimented the flowers on her hat. 

In the image, the Queen is seen wearing a three-strand pearl necklace – which she also wore to her final ever Ascot in June 2021.
