King Charles and Queen Camilla Attend First Royal Ascot of Reign — and Bring Her Family!

The Queen's sister recently played a prominent role on her May 6 coronation day

King Charles and Queen Camilla are trotting into the Royal Ascot with some special guests!

On Tuesday, the King and Queen led the Royal Procession on the opening day of the iconic British horse race at the Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. Queen Elizabeth was a great supporter of the equestrian event, and 24 of her racehorses won at Ascot through the years. ​​In a fashion tribute, Queen Camilla poignantly wore the Courtauld Thomson Scallop-Shell Brooch. The pin previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and she passed it down to her daughter Queen Elizabeth, who wore it to the Royal Ascot in 2019.

Continuing tradition (as they filled in in 2022), Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, rode in the first horse-drawn landau of the Royal Procession for a grand entrance at the track. Princess Anne followed in a second carriage with some members of Queen Camilla’s family.

The Princess Royal, 73, traveled with Camilla's sister Annabel Elliot, Annabel’s son Sir Ben Elliot and his wife, Lady Elliot. The Royal Ascot marks the second major occasion of Queen Camilla's family stepping into the royal spotlight in recent weeks.

Annabel is one of six Queen's Companions for Camilla, a modern spin on the traditional ladies-in-waiting that supported Queen Elizabeth throughout her reign. Queen Camilla’s younger sister served as a coronation attendant at her crowning beside King Charles at Westminster Abbey on May 6, where her grandson also played a special role. Annabel’s grandson — Ben’s son — Arthur Elliot was one of three Pages of Honor for Queen Camilla on coronation day and stepped up alongside his cousins Gus Lopes, Louis Lopes and Freddy Parker Bowles.

Gus and Louis, 13, are the twin sons of Camilla's daughter Laura Lopes, and 13-year-old Freddy is the son of Tom Parker Bowles, Camilla's son. The Queen shares her children with ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, who she was married to from 1973 to 1995.

After their formal duties in the coronation church service were complete, the boys and Annabel also appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with the King, Queen and members of the royal family.

Tom, 48, was also at the Royal Ascot on Tuesday and watched the action on the track from the Royal Enclosure with Charles and Camilla. Ben also affectionately greeted Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, while Zara Tindall and her husband Mike Tindall chatted with Camilla. Peter Phillips and his girlfriend Lindsay Wallace were also at Ascot, a few weeks after they attended the Coronation Concert together.

Princess Anne and her only daughter are both dedicated equestrians and frequent fixtures at the Royal Ascot, and Zara recently told PEOPLE that horses are a constant topic of family chats.
