The monarch and wife didn't have the celebratory occasion they might have hoped at Royal Ascot
, with King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and Zara Tindall all in attendance.
While they certainly enjoyed the races, it was sure to be tinged with sadness as Ascot was one of the late Queen Elizabeth II's favourite occasions, so the family likely had many memories of the late monarch during the event. King Charles and Queen Camilla made sure to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II in a joint foreword for the official programme, writing: "The royal meeting always played a central role in her late majesty Queen Elizabeth's calendar."The absence of the late Queen wasn't the only reason the event stirred up emotions for the royal, though.
The King and Queen's hopes of winning their first Royal Ascot race were dashed on Tuesday, when their thoroughbred Reach For The Moon failed to win, followed by their horse Circle Of Fire losing in the Queen’s Vase.
The monarch and his wife were joined by several friends for the occasion, arriving by royal carriage shared with the Duke and Duchess of Wellington., and Annabel's son, Sir Ben Elliot and his wife Mary-Clare, who were also joined by Charles's sister, Princess Anne.
