Royal Ascot 2016- Day 3

Day 3 of Royal Ascot, commonly known as ‘Ladies Day’ is synonymous with large and crazy hats. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh attended Ladies Day on June 16th with the Earl & Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York, and Princesses Beatrice & Eugenie. The special guests in the carriage procession for Day 3 were Prince Hussein & Princess Sarvath of Jordan, and the Duke and Duchess of Fife.
