They took an Ascot Landau

They were seen riding in an Ascot Landau on a state drive to Windsor Castle. The ride put Kate’s Dior outfit on full display, as well as her Jess Collett bow-adorned hat.

The royal couple were last seen in a royal carriage together on Garter Day in June. Kate sported a white Self-Portrait look with a triple string of pearls that was reminiscent of today’s Dior ensemble.

However, Charles powered on. Both Charles and Camilla spoke with guests on the dais in Windsor as the military band trumpeted out ahead of the Macrons’ arrival.  The monarch was also seen chatting enthusiastically with President Macron, who affectionately tapped Charles on the back.
