Queen Camilla experiences an unexpected moment at Ascot that surprises everyone, including those closest to her

Every year, Royal Ascot becomes one of the most important events in the United Kingdom. The British royal family, led by King Charles III and Camilla, holds a prominent place in this glamorous occasion. The Berkshire racecourse, the main stage for this event, is where the nobility gathers to celebrate the arrival of summer.

This year, as in previous occasions, the royal family actively participated in the opening of the races. Among the most desired moments, the carriage procession marks the official start of the celebration. The leading carriage is the one carrying Charles III and his wife, Camilla.

Queen Camilla struggles at Royal Ascot

During the opening of the event, Camilla and her lady-in-waiting, Lady Sarah, had to face a strong wind that threatened to blow away their hats. A lip-reading expert, Nicola Hickling, has revealed that Camilla, concerned, exclaimed: "My God, if the wind blows any harder, my hat will fly away."

Although the incident seemed minor, it was an uncomfortable moment for Queen Camilla. She struggled to keep her elegance while greeting the attendees. The situation caused some confusion for Queen Camilla, who even considered the option of taking off her hat to avoid losing her composure.

According to Hickling, the queen commented: "I greet quickly and hold the hat again. Should I take it off? I can't." Despite the wind and the small chaos, Queen Camilla kept firm in her role, while King Charles III watched closely. Camilla, laughing, added: "This wind is causing a frenzy."

Charles III and Camilla lead the most relevant royal event for the family

Despite the uncomfortable moment, Royal Ascot remains one of the most prestigious events for the royal family. Other members of the royalty were also present: Peter Philips, Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice shared this day of top-level. As is tradition, the Dukes of Wellington and Annabel Elliot, Queen Camilla's sister, were also part of the celebration.

Queen Elizabeth II was a great enthusiast of the Ascot races and left a legacy that Charles III and Camilla continue to honor. This year, her horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V Stakes, an important achievement for the royal family. The mishap with the wind made it clear that royalty can also be victims of the unexpected.
