MARLBOROUGH (UNITED KINGDOM) - Leading English trainer Richard Hannon Junior is blessed with self-deprecatory humour, but that quality will be tested by how his horses run at Royal Ascot this week.

British dressmaker Angela Kelly, who has worked with the Queen for 25 years, revealed the monarch is just like the rest of us when it comes to getting her money's worth.

Some of Britain's biggest Flat meetings, headed by the June jewels of Royal Ascot and the Epsom Derby, are shrouded in uncertainty after racing was shut down until the end of April.

The monarch, 93, was accompanied by Kate, 37, and the Duchess of Cornwall, 71, for the traditional carriage procession, which marks the official start of the day's races.

The monarch arrived by an open-top carriage for Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot, alongside Prince Andrew and Princess Anne. Zara and Mike Tindall were also back for day three of the meet.

The Queen dressed for day four of Royal Ascot in a stunning raspberry pink outfit by British fashion designer Angela Kelly. She also wore one of her favourite brooches, the Diamond Star.

Michael Owen has revealed the mortifying moment he was 'b******ed' by the Queen after squeezing into a packed lift with her at Royal Ascot.

The hugely-popular meeting in June will not be held as a public event due to the coronavirus pandemic but organisers hope the five-day meeting in June can take place behind closed doors.
