Queen Camilla was out and about braving the chilly weather this morning as she attended the Betfair Ascot Chase Raceday at Ascot Racecourse, looking as stylish as ever.
At 77, the Queen made a solo appearance at the event, proving that age has nothing on her elegance.
She was dressed in a sophisticated off-white, tailored coat, perfectly fitting the occasion.
A Warm Welcome at Ascot
As she arrived at the racecourse, located near Windsor in Berkshire, Queen Camilla was warmly greeted by Sir Francis Brooke, His Majesty’s Representative, and Felicity Barnard.
The three took a moment to chat in the Parade Ring before Camilla made her way to her private viewing area to enjoy the action-packed day of races.
The Betfair Ascot Chase Raceday offers a whopping £400,000 in prize money, attracting the very best in equine talent, making it an exciting event for all involved.
A Fashionable Outfit for the Queen
Camilla’s outfit stood out for its chic details.
She wore a statement light brown hat adorned with a faux fur trim, adding a touch of luxury while keeping warm.
Her knee-high black suede boots were both practical and stylish, perfectly complementing her outfit.
To keep the cold at bay, she also wore leather-look gloves and added an extra element of glamour with pearl drop earrings and a sparkling brooch on her coat’s collar.
It was the ideal ensemble for a day at the races.
A Busy Week for Queen Camilla
It’s been a hectic week for the Queen, who had already attended a number of important events earlier.
On Tuesday, she joined King Charles at Buckingham Palace, where they hosted hundreds of military personnel at separate receptions to honor their service.
King Charles, in his role as Commander-in-Chief, engaged with about 340 service members, while Queen Camilla had a touching moment with Warrant Officer Danny Manifold from HMS Astute.
During the reception, Manifold recalled the Queen’s thoughtful gesture during the height of the Covid pandemic when she delivered tea and biscuits to submariners on board HMS Astute.
A Connection to the Military and History
Queen Camilla’s involvement in military life was a key theme throughout her week.
The reception saw her speaking to various guests, wearing a gorgeous emerald green frock, and black suede boots.
The King’s event also revealed his keen interest in the history of military units, especially when discussing the elite Number 30 Commando unit, proposed by James Bond creator Ian Fleming during World War II.
King Charles’ eyes lit up at the mention of Fleming, showing his passion for this important chapter of history.
Lieutenant Colonel Chris Armstrong from the UK Commando Force said that their conversation with the King was “really special,” underscoring the deep connection between the monarch and the military.
A Royal Week to Remember
It’s clear that Queen Camilla and King Charles are both deeply involved in the lives of the service personnel, and this week was a reminder of their unwavering dedication.
Whether at the races or hosting important military receptions, they continue to demonstrate their commitment to their roles and the people they serve.
