One of the main events of the British society takes place annually and attracts the attention of the media and the owners of the best racehorses in the world who participate in horse racing. The center of the event, of course, becomes Queen Elizabeth and her family. This year, everyone was waiting for the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, who got married a month ago.
But Ascot attracts people not only to put money on a horse. Traditionally, this is a demonstration of the British style, which is required by the dress code - dresses, hats. And for each rostrum it is different. That's just how everyone understands this set of rules — that's another question.
The first day of the race starts, as always, decorously and nobly, ladies and gentlemen arrive in the best outfits. By the evening, after a couple of glasses of champagne, and most likely more, the guests get tired and the most interesting begins.

The Royal Horse races have been held since 1711, since Queen Anne, returning from Windsor Castle, noticed the field where the races are being held now, and said: "This field would be perfect for racing." The first event was held a year later.
In the carriage, the Queen was accompanied by Princess Anne.
And Meghan Markle, for whom it was the first horse race, was wearing a Givenchy dress.
