Carole Middleton is also at Royal Ascot, with a dress that seems taken from her daughter Kate’s wardrobe (and all the other looks from the second day)

Going down the pecking order, Queen Camilla, alone without King Charles, opts for a designer cobalt dress Dior different from the usual with a pleated skirt and white lace insert combined with a hat of the same color. The nuance goes very well with the earrings and the brooch that the sovereign pins on her dress, an heirloom of diamonds with turquoise that had a certain popularity in the last years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign.
They were the then Princes of Wales, the future ones Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, who donated the jewel in 1893 to Mary of Teck for her wedding to the man who would become George V.

Upon the death of Queen Mary, grandmother of Elizabeth II, the brooch passed to her granddaughter who, however, only began to show it off in the mid-1910s. Those with a good memory may remember it being worn by the monarch in the video message to the nation in highlight of the pandemic. It was thought at that moment that Elizabeth, dressed in green, wanted to reassure her subjects with a look that exuded hope by adding a stone that in ancient times was known for its protective and healing properties. If turquoise truly possesses such qualities, members of the royal family can only benefit from such energy.

The York sisters were also there on day two of Royal Ascot with their husbands and mother Sarah Ferguson. Eugeniewho arrived in a carriage, had a singular labeled pale pink straw hat Emily London enlivened by a tassel that fell on the face. The dress instead in cashmere and silk with a fitted silhouette is signed Gabriela Hearst.
