Royal Ascot - The Queen

The most famous personality of all those who attend Royal Ascot is the Queen, who heads the daily procession down the course to the Royal Enclosure.
As a 19-year-old in 1945, Princess Elizabeth attended the meeting for the first time, starting a long association.
The Queen is known for her love of racing and she has enjoyed 19 winners at Royal Ascot, the first was Choir Boy, who won the Royal Hunt Cup in 1952.
But nowadays, there is as much interest in what the monarch is wearing with a flurry of bets on what colour outfit she will sport.
