On June 18, 2026, King Charles III and Queen Camilla attended the third day, also known as Ladies’ Day, of Royal Ascot 2026 at Ascot Racecourse in Ascot. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal and Sir Timothy Laurence, and Zara Tindall joined King Charles III and Queen Camilla for the day’s racing.
For the occasion, Queen Camilla wore a silk coat dress by Fiona Clare with the Queen Mother’s Shell Brooch. The Duchess of Edinburgh wore a navy midi dress by Suzannah London with her black-and-white pearl necklace. The necklace was designed by the Duke of Edinburgh as a wedding gift. The Duke and Duchess will celebrate their 27th wedding anniversary on June 19. Zara Tindall wore a yellow dress by Rebecca Vallance.

Everyone looks so stylish......
ReplyDeleteSophie seems to have favored black for this years events. I don't like this Suzannah dress because it looks too costumey or elaborate with too much going on. The hat is also on the wild side. But she looks like she is having a lot of fun wearing it.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking with the color of her hat I wonder if her dress is more navy blue... Thoughts???
DeleteShe’s in navy here. And I think Ascot has long been elaborate and costumey. You’re right - it’s the week for the rich to really have fun with their elegant and long planned outfits, and the hats are excellent good fun!
DeleteA mourninglook or ist ist Bavarian-Dirnldl?
DeleteYou are right, the dress resembles a Bavarian Dirndl a bit. But our Dirndl always have dress or skirt and "Mieder" (I don't know how to translate), blouse and, very important, "Schürze". All parts are separate so you can combine them. A Dirndl can easily cost around 1.000 € because traditionally they are crafted of very good material. But then of course one can also buy a 29,99 € Dirndl of plastic at C&A, which is what a lot of Oktoberfest-tourists do.
DeleteZara Tindall is the winner for me. She looks fabulous! Love the hat!
ReplyDeleteAch Sophie, das ganze Outfit tut nicht mal im Ansatz etwas für dich.
ReplyDeleteDo you think it appropriate to "talk" to her directly on this blog? If you think her outfit does no good for her, take the time to tell why, because as a statement it is simply uninteresting .
DeleteOoh I do love Sophie’s outfit. The Royal Enclosure dress requirements list “nothing sheer” but it is exceedingly tasteful, and the hat carries the theatricality which works wonderfully at Ascot. Loving all the lemon and soft yellows in these days, and think Anne looks wonderful in orange.
ReplyDeleteThe best dressed today is Zara Tindall. If the skirt of the dress was a bit less wide it would be better. Less ribbons on her boat style hat would be welcome too. Picture N°3 is a beautiful portrait of Zara. She has a beautiful face. Her make-up is never overdone. She has always a healthy sunkissed tan.
ReplyDeleteIs it Mrs Middleton the PoW mother to whom Q. Camilla is talking on the 5th photo ?
Duchess Sophie in a rewear by Suzannah. Did she bought a complete collection of dresses by this brand ? The ribbons on her hat ruin the nice shape.
Surprise Princess Anne didn't wear gloves today, but her outfit is worse than the pink one she wore yesterday.
Q. Camilla's white dress by Dior she wore yesterday was so much better than this one.
It is indeed Carole Middleton. She is wearing the outfit she wore to Harry & Meghans wedding.
DeleteYes, I think it's Carol Middleton. She looks good, as always
DeleteSi, è Carole Middletone…splendida signora.
DeleteI hate those coat dresses. I think the U.K. is the land where the most coat dresses are worn. For any ocassion they are wearing a coat dress. The garden parties, Royal Ascot, weddings, baptizing ceremonies, funerals, and all other possible events.
DeleteZahra est merveilleuse
ReplyDeleteFroufrou
Zara looks great. The light color and clean lines of her dress are flattering. I think Sophie’s outfit would look nicer without her wedding necklace. I know Edward designed the necklace, and she is a loyal wife to wear it, but it looks like a DIY craft project, unfortunately. Camilla continues to wear fabulous brooches. The light orange and cream color combo looks good on Anne.

Sophie and Zara look great.
ReplyDeleteZara looks beautiful, this dress has shape, I don't mind the width at all, and suits her perfectly, ideal for her body type, very attractive. The triple pearl necklace the Princess Royal wore is a lovely addition to her ensemble. Queen Camilla's brooch is so beautiful, what a gorgeous jewel piece.
ReplyDeleteSophie is wearing her wedding necklace, and I must confess I have a soft spot for that.
Zara looks gorgeous! And the photo of her and Anne is so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteQueen Camilla's dress is light/ pastel green not white
ReplyDeleteSophie per due volte con abiti scuri è una bella novità, ma secondo me ad Ascot deve trionfare il colore.
ReplyDeleteZara è sempre stata bella e ultimamente la trovo strepitosa, sempre sorridente. La preferisco con i colori accesi, le illuminano di più il bel viso.
So che non ha titoli reali, ma fossi in William terrei conto di questa cugina per “lavorare” nella RF.
Après réflexion, c’est Zara que je préfère jusque dans son chapeau original ; bon choix que
ReplyDeleteses petites boucles d’oreilles dont le pendant comporte une pierre jaune clair afin d’être en harmonie !
I would love to wear Zaras dress..right away!
ReplyDeleteLove them all without distinction!
ReplyDeleteZara really beautifull as is Sophie in her wonderfull navy blue dress!
Charles wins my best dressed award by far! Smashing!!
ReplyDeleteI like them all, some more than others but you all have said it, so now is only a matter of scrolling back and seeing the pictures once more after reading your comments, you always point out things I hadn't seen!
ReplyDeleteAlso Carol Middleton following the trent of having the zipper at the front of the dress, im 49 and only wear dresses, when i turn 70 i will remember this zipper to the front idea, I might look great ;)
Luna
You only wear dresses Luna? That’s fun!
DeleteI thought Zara looked fabulous. The color and style suited her perfectly. I read she works with a stylist, and you can see it pays dividends.
ReplyDeleteI wish Sophie looked to another designer other than Suzannah. The clothes do not compliment her. She needs more streamlined structured fits rather than layers of unnecessary fabric.
Mrs Middleton and QC both in similar designs. Fabric just skimming the body is perfect styling for both of them.
PA - Looked lovely. Her coat dress has probably been in her closet for some time, but it looks fine on her.
Lowri.
