Royals at Ascot 2011

The Royal Family were out in full force again today as day one of Ascot kicked off. Her Majesty, Prince Charles, Camilla, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie arrived together in horse-drawn carriages to celebrate the event’s 300th year. And once again, all eyes were on the hats.

The Queen was elegant in mint green. The young princesses had a more toned-down look. The Countess of Wessex had the biggest hat of them all, and the Duchess of Cornwall recycles her Royal Wedding dress.
