On June 17, 2026, members of the British Royal Family attended the second day of Royal Ascot 2026 at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. The Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Anne and Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Lady Sarah Chatto and Daniel Chatto, and Lady Gabriella Kingston joined King Charles III and Queen Camilla for the second day of the Royal Ascot horse racing meeting.
Royal Ascot is a longstanding fixture on the British Royal Family’s June calendar, following Trooping the Colour and the Order of the Garter Service. The late Queen Elizabeth II attended all five days of the horse-racing event for more than 70 years.
Roksanda Brigitte Dress
Suzannah London Victoria Shirt Dress
Even though Kate's dress is a Roksanda re-wear from some years ago, I love it because it isn't another coat dress like she's been wearing a lot of lately. She looks lovely. The bright yellow lights up her beautiful face and the dress itself is pretty and light. I don't really like her hat...but at the same time I do, lol. It is simply constructed and has all that light frothy netting which complements of the lightness of the dress's skirt. It is not fussy at all. So perhaps it is well chosen.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing Lady Gabriella present. She is another tall beauty and she is dressed nicely too. I love her hat and it matches her features beautifully.
I find Sophie's dress far too sombre among all the lightness and colour around her. Reminds me of a dowager widow.

Stunning!
ReplyDeleteAfter so many straight and slightly severe coatdresses - how very good to see a real swishy wide-skirted (because who if not Catherine should wear them) feminine dress at last! This is a re-wear and I am for many more returnings for this dress. Also happy to see a hat that deserves this name. - Gabriella Windsor looks very elegant in this brocade dress or coat dress, quite similar to the one Catherine wore to the Garter ceremony, I like the collar, the pockets and that little belt-something at the back very much, they break up the otherwise quite large surface quite well. And dear Princess Royal, please buy yourself a non-black bag, I would not mind purple at all, and wear nude gloves, because then, I could really love that you wear pink today.
ReplyDeleteGood rewear from Kate. Don’t particularly care for the hat. I suppose it’s colour coordinated. Camilla has a new white dress and she wears it well. Lady Gabriella looks elegant (which we all expected), surprised by her posture in the photo with Kate. Sophie’s dress seems to have been chosen on account of being useful on multiple occasions, including funerals. It’s not inappropriate, just rather depressing. She might want to try something different, not always Susannah.
ReplyDeleteI don’t like Kate’s yellow outfit. It’s too bright and I don’t think the colour suits her. The style is once again too Windsory.
