As many readers know, the day’s events begin with the royal carriage procession. Below, the King and Queen in the first carriage.
Here is today’s list as posted by Ascot Racecourse. 
Here you see the King’s cousin, Lady Sarah Chatto (Princess Margaret’s daughter), and her husband, Daniel Chatto.
More from this People story.
Prince William sported a top hat and morning suit for the occasion, matching his wife with a yellow flower pinned on his jacket.
As she got into the carriage, she greeted onlookers who told her she looked “lovely” by saying, “Thank you. Hopefully the sun stays out,”
In this video, you see the Prince reacting to someone shouting “Up the Villa!” a reference to Aston Villa, the football club the Prince has supported since his school days.

Now for a quick glance at what some of the royal women wore today, beginning with the Queen. She wore an Anna Valentine dress, the perfect backdrop for the Williamson Pink Diamond brooch made by Cartier for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, per The Court Jeweler. 
The Duchess of Edinburgh was in Suzannah London’s “Victoria” Silk Shirtdress, with a Jane Taylor hat and a Sophie Habsburg clutch. 
Lady Gabriella chose a soft blue bespoke coatdress by Claire Mischevani and an Aspinal of London Mini Mayfair handbag. 
Carole Middleton repeated the pale pink Catherine Walker ensemble worn at her daughter Pippa’s wedding, accessorizing with an Emmy London handbag and heels. 
I do not yet know who made the dress worn by Alizee Middleton. Thank you once again to Royal British Fashion for the ID information.
And now for our look at what Kate wore for the day at Ascot. 
It is a custom version of Roksanda’s “Brigitte Dress” in Marigold Yellow, seen below in the off-the-rack style. The dress features a bow-effect bodice, short sleeves, a fitted waist, a full skirt, and a hidden back zipper. 
It was first worn in Jamaica during the 2022 Caribbean tour; the Princess repeated it for Wimbledon in 2022. 
The Princess debuted a new chapeau, the Epona Hat in Straw ($3700) by Jane Taylor, with thanks to Laura for the speedy ID. The hat has a wide, downturned brim, and the lovely confection is covered in spotted veiling. 
And a look at the Princess’s updo. 
In the jewelry department, the Princess wore the Diamond Chandelier Earrings that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Nigel Milne pearl-and-diamond bracelet. 
The Princess brought back her Gianvito Rossi 105 Bisque Suede Pumps ($850) and her Anya Hindmarch Maud Pearls Clutch in Ivory ($830).
