It was announced, however, that the Princess of Wales has pulled out of Royal Ascot as she continues her cancer recovery. More on Royal Ascot It is understood the Kate, 43, was previously listed by Royal Ascot as arriving in the carriage procession with Prince William - who is still attending.

Women must wear a dress or skirt falling just above the knee or longer, with shoulder straps a minimum width of 1 inch and hats are compulsory. The Queen Anne Enclosure offers a more relaxed dress code, while the Windsor Enclosure is the most relaxed, with no formal dress code but smart attire is encouraged. Royal Ascot was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne who, when riding out from Windsor Castle, came across a piece of land 'ideal for horses to gallop at full stretch' and thus Ascot Racecourse was born. 24 Lady Victoria Hervey also opted for a floral dress at the racecourse Credit: Getty 24 Guests appeared in high spirits as they arrived at Royal Ascot Credit: PA The first Royal Meeting took place at Ascot in 1768 and it is now Britain's most popular race meeting, welcoming in excess of 250,000 racegoers across five days.
