King Charles and Queen Camilla are enjoying Royal Ascot!
The royal couple were all smiles as they led the Royal Procession on the final day of the 2023 Royal Ascot on Saturday afternoon. The King, 74, and his wife Camilla, 75, were dressed in their finest as they sat in a horse-drawn carriage and waved to the crowds at the event, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England.
Charles wore a light gray three-piece morning suit — adorned with a light pink buttonhole and a patterned pocket square — and a black top hat. The monarch's gold cufflinks could be seen as he gestured to the crowds during the procession.
Queen Camilla 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.
