Unauthorized Tidbits
King Charles reveals a previously unseen side - the royal couple is set to dazzle with five captivating appearances at Royal Ascot.
The hooves thunder, hats dazzle, and King Charles (76), the new sovereign, faces one of the most significant social events of the year. From June 17 to 21, the world-renowned horse racing spectacle, "Royal Ascot," returns to the British landscape. Charles, who ascended to the throne three years ago, has made an unexpected move, showing a side never seen before in his reign. This decision also carries consequences for Queen Camilla (77).
A New Chapter for the Monarch
Since his mother, Queen Elizabeth II (96, † 2022), passed, King Charles has been blending the crown's legacy with his own passion for horse racing. A duty became a genuine enthusiasm. While he used to mainly accompany his mother to the "Royal Ascot" racing week, King Charles has now discovered a love for the sport himself. Queen Camilla (77), who is a long-time horse enthusiast, must be delighted with this development, as she will, no doubt, be by his side.

According to The Sun, King Charles' enthusiasm for horse racing is evident, and he finds joy in meeting guests and supporting the horse racing industry[1]. However, he has yet to reveal if the royals will attend the event on day one or day five.
A Tradition-driven Dynasty
What sets King Charles apart is his decision to spend all five days at "Royal Ascot" this time, a remarkable choice given his recent health concerns. As reported by the Daily Mirror, the royal couple is planning daily appearances at the prestigious horse racing festival from June 17 to 21[1]. Moreover, horses from the king's stable will compete in the races.
Interestingly, the craft of hat-making is equally important to King Charles. To promote and support this traditional art, the King's Foundation offers an annual scholarship of around 12,000 euros to nurture emerging talent in the UK[1].
Last year, due to a perceived lack of opulence, Royal Ascot published a new hat guide to provide clear guidance and spark creativity among attendees[1]. With this year's event quickly approaching, we can expect nothing short of an extraordinary display of fashion and horsepower under the British sun.
