Royal Ascot 2023, one of the most prestigious horse racing events in the world. Held in Ascot, Berkshire, the five-day event showcased top-class racing, exquisite fashion, and regal splendour. Attendees embraced the strict dress code, and each day commenced with the majestic Royal Procession. The races, including the renowned Gold Cup, thrilled spectators with incredible displays of equine talent.
The origins of Royal Ascot can be traced back to 1711 when Queen Anne first spotted the potential for a racecourse in the area during a carriage ride. The first race meeting, known as Her Majesty’s Plate, took place in August 1711 on what would later become the Ascot racecourse. Royal Ascot gained its “Royal” prefix in 1911 when King George IV officially granted the event the title of Royal Ascot. Since then, it has enjoyed the patronage of the British royal family.
