Royal Ascot - Day 2
I couldn't resist this shot. I like to think all these dudes are thinking, "how ON EARTH is she walking in that?!"
Prince Harry and Jake Warren, Day One
The fact that Harry is wearing a new waistcoat is somewhat unnerving. First, he's cranky at Trooping The Colour. Now he's not wearing his Favorite Yellow Waistcoat. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?
Prince Harry, Day One
HE seems delighted, though, so...okay. Fair enough. I'll allow it.
Princess Beatrice, Day One
I approve of the fact that she's taking a fashion risk, in this Roksanda Ilincic (I think). It's a bit weird, but I think I'm going to vote yes. What do you say?
Sophie Wessex, Day One
It's not Ascot if Sophie isn't vaguely quilted. I do appreciate the drama inherent in this perfectly enormous hat.
Sophie and Autumn Phillips and Prince Edward, Day 2
I like this look considerably better on Sophie. Well, rewind. I like the DRESS better. I think I prefer Day One's big-ass hat.
Zara Philips, Day One
OH ZARA. I DON'T KNOW. (There was a photo that I sadly couldn't get, in which she was in the Royal Box, drinking a giant glass of what looked like champers and wearing huge sunglasses, though, and as far as that goes, I DO KNOW, and what I know is: Yes.)
Princess Anne, Day One
On the hunt, as ever. I'm sure Anne has owned this entire ensemble -- down to the hat, the interior of which appears to be lined with feathers -- for at least 40 years.
Princess Anne, Day Two
WHAT? I'm just saying.
THE QUEEN, Day One
So much more cheery than the last time we saw her! Her Maj DOES love the ponies.
The Queen and Prince Philip, Day Two
I guess everyone is cheerier when they get to arrive places to great applause in a carriage and THEN GAMBLE.
Camz, Day One
Camilla's Monday outfit was A Salute To Bathroom Soap.
Princess Michael of Kent, Day One
The EYEPATCH is BACK! I hope all the younger royals have taken to calling her Patches behind her back. In all seriousness, this woman wears her eyepatch VERY well.
Princess Michael of Kent, Day Two
"This bloody thing is driving me bonkers. How do pirates do it?"
Princess Alexandra, Day Two
I just appreciated that Princess Alexandra rather looks like she feel into a Paper Source and couldn't get out. (She is the Queen's cousin. Is she the one who ALLEGEDLY had a lengthy affair with Prince Philip? Because if so I personally would have sent her off on a long, long long long royal posting to Zanzibar or somewhere similarly remote had I been Queen.
John Goodman, Damian Lewis, Day One
Because if I asked you, "where do you think John Goodman and Damian Lewis were yesterday?" your immediate answer would have been, "looking sharp and hanging out at Ascot together, DUH."
