Future queens collide at Royal Ascot

She also wore a pink outfit to the fête (but in a much brighter hue!), while Middleton sported a color-block dress featuring powder blue and coral panels.

The region’s secretary of state has hosted the event annually since 1984.

Kate Middleton is a vision in white!

The Duchess paired the vibrant coat with a Lock & Co. fascinator, Alexander McQueen clutch and the Robinson Pelham diamond earrings she wore on her wedding day.

Mrs Hassard, who was invited to the garden party with her husband David, added: “It was enchanting to meet him”.

What’s worse is the Duchess of Cambridge made the move at the reigning monarch of the country’s birthday bash.

Prince Charles will present a trophy to the victor of the Prince of Wales’s Stakes - one of the premier races of the week.

The Queen will see three of her horses racing throughout the day.

“Before I finish, I hope you won’t mind if I say a personal thank you to the Queen and to do so on behalf of all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren”, Prince William said at the picnic.

“He saw me taking selfies”, said Mrs Hyndman, who works in a coffee shop in Coleraine. I’ll take one of each and eat them both! Yum!

“It hasn’t happened for many years but the going can only get softer and we imagine that there would be nothing worse than the Queen’s carriage getting stuck in the quagmire”, William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said. We hope she won’t suffer from the debilitating hyperemesis gravidarum, the condition where a pregnant woman can remain nauseous and vomit for 15 weeks or more.

It’s no secret that Royal Ascot is close to Her Majesty’s heart and she shared her love for the annual event in a letter of welcome in the official programme.

As expected, the mother of Prince George, 2, and Princess Charlotte, 1, wore a fashion-forward ensemble that put her smack-dab in the center of attention.
