The King and Queen cheered along as their horse Desert Hero raced to first place in the King George V Stakes on Thursday. Camilla was coincidentally wearing a diamond brooch that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth — which perhaps proved to be a lucky charm

Queen Camilla and King Charles gave a wave after their horse won the King George V Stakes at the 2023 Royal Ascot.

The royal couple gave an emotional wave after the victory. Desert Hero was bred by the late Queen Elizabeth, who died in September at age 96, The Guardian reported. King Charles then inherited his mother's horse racing operation, which was a lifelong hobby and love.

“It’s bittersweet, isn’t it?” Zara Tindall told ITV Racing. “To think how proud and excited our grandmother would have been, the queen would have been. But to have a winner for Charles and Camilla, to keep that dream alive, was incredible.”
