Queen Camilla and Prince Harry seen at Cheltenham Festival
The Cheltenham Festival celebrated glamour and racing with the return of Ladies Day.
The Queen attended the event, meeting a group of trailblazing female athletes and joining a host of royal and sporting guests.
Ladies Day returned to the festival for the first time since 2019, and Queen Camilla marked the occasion by wearing a feathered hat by Philip Treacy and a coat by Anna Valentine.
She was seen chatting with Zara Tindall, and exchanging a brief greeting.
Mrs Tindall said: “How are you, good to see you,” with the Queen replying: “Very well.”
The Queen also spoke with England rugby stars Natasha Hunt and Zoe Aldcroft, as well as jockey Rachael Blackmore, the first female rider to win both the Grand National and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Among the guests in the royal box were the Queen’s children Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes, as well as Laura’s husband Harry.
Aamilah Aswat, the first black woman to win a jump race in Britain, also spoke with the Queen.
Ms Aswat said: “I said how it was an honour to win, especially twice in her colours and she she said it was a ‘pleasure’.”
Ms Aswat made history last month riding 9-1 shot Guchen to victory in a handicap hurdle at Kempton Park.
The horse was owned by the Friends of Ebony Horse Club, a Brixton-based equestrian charity supported by the Queen.
Ebony Horse Club uses riding to help transform the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Other familiar faces in attendance included the Princess Royal, the Queen’s former husband Andrew Parker-Bowles, and the Princess of Wales’ mother Carole Middleton.
The Queen, joint patron of the Jockey Club, is a regular at the biggest occasion in the jump racing calendar.
She was later seen on the balcony of the royal box alongside Sir Francis Brooke, the King’s representative at Ascot.
The pair watched the climax of the Brown Advisory Novice’s Steeple Chase, which was won by Kitzbuhel.
