Royal Ascot 2026 gets underway on 16th June and is set to be attended by a variety of huge celebrity names.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to be front and centre of the iconic Royal procession that takes place before racing and they will be joined in carriage one by the Duke and Duchess of Wellington.
Day one is opened by the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes and is joined by two further top-level contests in the King Charles III Stakes and feature St James's Palace Stakes. The latter looks particularly unmissable this year with English and Irish Guineas winners Bow Echo and Gstaad set to clash for the second time this season.
We take a look at the most notable names on track for Royal Ascot day one...
