Over the course of the next five days, the King and his wife entered a string of horses, taking on the thoroughbreds owned by the late Queen.

The custom of the King and Queen arriving at Royal Ascot in a carriage procession with their guests is a 200-year tradition that dates back to 1825, under the reign of King George IV.
Over the next five days at the Berkshire racecourse, fans will cheer on the riders in stylish suits, summer dresses, and headwear.
Established in 1711 by Queen Anne, who said Ascot was the best place for “horses to gallop at full stretch,” it has grown into a significant social occasion in addition to a popular athletic event.
