Mix of royals, international figures, and sports personalities highlights the global importance of Royal Ascot
Royal Ascot has released the official carriage procession list for Ladies Day, with King Charles and Queen Camilla set to lead the royal arrivals at the Berkshire racecourse for the third day in a row.
They will travel in the first carriage, continuing their central role in the event and drawing major attention as the royal procession begins.
Joining them in the opening carriage will be the Earl of Snowdon, along with his girlfriend Isabelle. The couple were recently seen at a royal wedding event earlier this month, and Isabelle is known for her work in the international art world, adding a cultural presence to the royal group.
The second carriage will feature a strong royal line-up. Princess Anne will attend with her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. They will be joined by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, showing a close family presence at one of the most important days in the racing calendar.
The third carriage will bring together guests from royal families, sports, and horse racing circles. Princess Zahra Aga Khan will attend as she continues her leadership role in her family global racing activities following the passing of her father, the Aga Khan IV. She will be joined by Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani, who leads Qatar Racing, and Zara Tindall, who is well known in British equestrian sport.
Irish trainer and former jockey Willie Mullins will also be part of this group, adding strong racing experience to the guest list. The mix of royals, international figures, and sports personalities highlights the global importance of Royal Ascot and its continued tradition of high profile attendance.
