Queen presents winner's trophy at Ascot after King George race
Dressed in white, she was seen laughing with racing manager John Warren and Sir Francis Brooke, the King's representative at Ascot.
French-trained Calandagan, ridden by Mickael Barzalona, won the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes, beating Kalpana.
The Queen presented the trophy after the race.
Camilla's visit to Ascot comes just weeks after she joined the King at Royal Ascot, where the couple were seen watching the action from the royal box.
During the five-day meeting, the King shared a warm exchange with Sarah, Duchess of York, in the parade ring, while his horse Purple Rainbow was beaten in the Sandringham Stakes.
The late Queen Elizabeth II was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign.
Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V Stakes.

'I'm the only fighter to face Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez - here's my prediction'
Both Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will settle their rivalry next month - and a former opponent of both fighters has weighed in on the clash Amir Khan - the only man to have fought both Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez - has given his prediction for the upcoming clash. Both Alvarez and Crawford are set to go head-to-head in a mouthwatering showdown in Las Vegas on September 13th at the Allegiant Stadium. 'Saul' will defend the undisputed super-middleweight titles against Crawford - who has already claimed the undisputed prize at both super-lightweight and welterweight. With Crawford moving up two weight classes for the dust-up, fans are intrigued to see how 'Bud' will fare in yet another division. One man who is backing the smaller man to shock the world is Khan. The British boxing legend famously fought the American back in 2019. Khan lost to Crawford by TKO in sixth round after his corner threw in the towel following an accidental low blow. Three years prior to the showdown with 'Bud,' Khan took on Alvarez and was brutally knocked out by the Mexican in the sixth round in Las Vegas. Sharing his views on the upcoming showdown, the Brit told The Ring: "There are weights for a reason in boxing. I have huge respect for Crawford for showing the balls and fighting a beast like Canelo. "Maybe Crawford is seeing something in Canelo that others are not seeing, and that he is past his sell-by date. And maybe Crawford is the guy to catch him at the right time. Let's see, I think it's a brilliant fight. I'm going to support my boy, Terence Crawford. He's a good friend of mine. I think he can do it. He has a great boxing IQ, his IQ is perfect and he can see everything. 'Crawford does hit hard. A lot of people don't give Crawford the credit for the punch power he has. I've been in the ring with him, he's hit me hard. Obviously the most powerful fight between the two is going to be Canelo, but I think Crawford still has enough power to hurt Canelo and push him back, and that he is there in front of him as a challenge." Throughout his professional career so far, there aren't many fighters who have really test 'Saul.' Back in 2014, Erislandy Lara gave the Mexican one of the hardest fights of his career - which the Mexican won via split decision. Lara used his movement well to get Alvarez to hesitate. Lara believes Crawford has to use his legs well and move in and out of range. Speaking to FightHype, the 42-year-old WBA middleweight champion said: "I see it as an interesting 50-50 fight. I feel that Canelo is very strong right now, and I want to see how Crawford handles the power, especially in the early rounds, and what's going to happen." Headded: "I remember fighting Canelo 14 years (11 years) ago. I remember, I used my legs real good. As long as Crawford uses his legs and doesn't let Canelo hit him in the arms and beat him up on the arms, he has a very good chance of winning." When is Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford? The 12-round super-middleweight title fight will take place on Saturday, September 13. The fight will take place in front of over 65,000 fans at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. While the official fight times are yet to be released, expect the undercard to get underway at around midnight in the UK. It is likely that the main event ringwalks will begin at around 4am UK time. All of the action will be streamed live on Netflix - their third venture into the world of boxing - in both the UK and the US.

Ben Earl: I'll bring what I've learnt with the Lions back to England
When the jetlag, and his hangover, subsides, Ben Earl will reflect on how England can become more like the British & Irish Lions. During five years of international rugby he has never loved anything in his career quite like the past eight weeks. He returns a Lions series winner, having played in two Tests, and has realised that he and England could do so much, so much better. Earl calls the Lions a 'life-changing experience', that has been 'completely transformative' for him, and he said he has appreciated being 'treated like adults' by Andy Farrell, the head coach. Earlier in the tour he said he had worked out you do not need to live like a monk all week before a Test match, like he has done before. The two-games-per-week rhythm in the middle of the tour challenged him to adapt, and Earl feels like he thrived.

McLaren boss anticipates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri ‘swapping paint again'
Norris heads into Formula One's summer break just nine points behind Piastri in the standings following his third win from his last four appearances at Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix. Piastri came close to taking Norris out on the penultimate lap as they duelled for the win. There was a similar narrow escape between the McLaren drivers at the Red Bull Ring in June, a fortnight after Norris ran into the back of Piastri in Canada. Lando Norris won in Hungary and is now nine points behind Oscar Piastri (Bradley Collyer/PA) 'There is competitiveness brewing but we are not feeling any tension,' insisted Brown. 'As the championship builds, I am sure that tension will grow. We are fully anticipating them swapping paint again at some point but I am very confident it wouldn't be deliberate, which is when you get into problems and get bad blood. 'I don't think they will fall out because of the communication, trust and respect we all have and they have for each other. We are very fortunate to have the two personalities that we have and I am looking forward to them racing each other. They are free to race. And if something bubbles up we will deal with it. DRIVER STANDINGS (AFTER 14/24 ROUNDS) Oscar Piastri takes a nine-point lead into the summer break#F1 #HungarianGP — Formula 1 (@F1) August 3, 2025 'It is not the elephant in the room because we talk about it. We meet every Sunday morning, they know each other's strategy, and we are totally transparent. 'I have said to both of them individually: 'Has your team-mate done anything to p*** you off?' Never. And that's what they have both said. Fundamentally you've got two great, respectful guys and their relationship today is the best it has ever been.' Norris drove well at the Hungaroring but could count himself somewhat fortunate to win after he qualified behind Piastri and then dropped two places to fifth on the first lap. A one-stop strategy reversed his fortunes but Norris admitted afterwards that he is 'not making life easy for myself' and there have been doubts as to the 25-year-old's title credentials. McLaren CEO Zak Brown has led the British team back to the front (Bradley Collyer/PA) Nico Rosberg, the 2016 world champion, said recently that 'the championship is going to be decided in Lando's head'. But Brown responded: 'Lando is in a great place. There was also a time Lando couldn't win from pole position, according to the world, and he has won four of his last five races from pole, so I think this kind of narrative around Lando is not accurate. 'He is open, he kind of wears his emotions on his sleeve, everyone is different, and Lando of a year ago could maybe be more critical on himself but he is in a great place, I've never seen him in a better place and he is doing an awesome job.'
