Royal Ascot continues today with an extravagant display of high fashion, glamour, and racing. Day Three, known as Ladies' Day, sees the King and Queen leading the royal procession, as they have since the event began on Tuesday.
Royals in Attendance
Wednesday marked the triumphant return of the Princess of Wales, who attended Ascot for the first time in two years. She was accompanied by Prince William, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal and Sir Timothy Laurence, and Lady Gabriella Windsor with Lady Sarah Chatto.
Notable Absences
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie remain absent from the annual event. Their appearances have been in doubt following their parents' humiliation amid the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Reports indicate the princesses were told not to attend this year. Last year, Beatrice attended Day One and Day Three, while Eugenie was pictured on Days Four and Five.
Today's Highlights
The Gold Cup, a highlight of the day, is scheduled for 4.15pm.
