Summary
- Queen Camilla joked about wine with onlookers at Royal Ascot.
- Camilla was seen biting her nails during a tense horse race.
- Royal Ascot 2026 featured appearances from the King and Queen.
King Charles and Queen Camilla commenced Royal Ascot 2026 on Tuesday, arriving by horse-drawn carriage to enthusiastic cheers. During a stationary moment, King Charles engaged with the crowd, eliciting a humorous exchange with Queen Camilla about onlookers possessing wine, which charmed the attendees. The event also saw a rare moment of Camilla biting her nails during an intense race, possibly due to the excitement. The royal couple's own horse, Reaching High, had a disappointing performance, finishing last after being a favorite.
Day one also featured Princess Anne and the Tindalls, alongside newlyweds Peter and Harriet Phillips, who made a notable debut. For day two, the Prince and Princess of Wales joined the King and Queen, with the Princess of Wales making a vibrant appearance in a previously worn yellow Roksanda outfit. Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie were also in attendance, though not part of the carriage procession.
