In the absence of the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were joined by the Princess Royal, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and the Earl of Snowdon. Due to the ongoing Pandemic, there was no procession from Windsor Castle to the Ascot Racecourse in horse-drawn landaus, and the members of the Royal Family and their guests spent the day in the Royal Enclosure.
