Overview
- This week the Princess of Wales joined the royal carriage procession and the Windsor Enclosure in a daffodil/canary yellow Roksanda dress, sharing a widely reported playful exchange with a shy child that drew warm public reaction.
- Kensington Palace has framed the appearance as part of a gradual return to duties after the Princess announced she is in remission from cancer earlier this year.
- King Charles and Queen Camilla have attended multiple days of Ascot, including a fourth straight day despite hot weather, and Camilla told ITV Racing that the meeting shows the 'best of British.'
- Celebrities including Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt joined guests in the royal box and procession while the official lookbook by Daniel Fletcher put fashion at the fore and named 'bright tomato' the event's colour of the year.
- Sporting coverage has tracked the royal horses separately, with early runs such as Reaching High and Golden Orbit finishing well off the pace and prompting note of the couple's mixed fortunes as owners this week.
