All the Best Photos of Royal Ascot 2023
In 1711, Queen Anne founded Royal Ascot, the annual horse-racing event, and since, it has remained a staple on the British royal family's annual calendar. The Royal Ascot has a strict dress code: men must wear "a full morning suit with waistcoat and either a black or grey top hat at all times," and women need to wear hats, and dresses that cover their shoulders. The royals even have to wear name tags.
The event was historically a favorite of Queen Elizabeth's, and this is the first year the royals will attend without their late matriarch. On day one, King Charles and Queen Camilla attended, along with Princess Anne and Camilla's sister Annabel Elliot. Here, see all the best photos of the British royal family at the 2023 Royal Ascot:
