Royally loved

Ascot is an occasion beloved by many members of the British royal family, but in particular for the King and Queen, who are racehorse owners.

HELLO!’s resident racing expert Charlie Atkin believes the King and Queen have a golden opportunity to add another Royal Ascot success to their record.

He states: “King Charles and Queen Camilla will be in attendance today not just as King and Queen, but also as racehorse owners. While they have a few runners across the week, their best chance of a winner will be in the Ascot Stakes, going off at 5 pm today.
