The Princess of Wales made a graceful return to Royal Ascot in Berkshire after a three-year absence.
The last time the princess wore this bright yellow dress was during the Royal Tour of the Caribbean on March 22, 2022 in Kingston, Jamaica.
Arriving at the racecourse on Wednesday and taking her place in the royal box, the princess was seen sharing a tender moment with her sister-in-law, Alizée Thevenet, who is married to her younger brother James Middleton.
The couple greeted each other with a warm kiss on the cheek and bright smiles, happy to be reunited as the race got under way.
The Middleton family have long had close ties with Alizée, who first stepped into the public eye with James Middleton at Lady Gabriella Kingston’s 2019 wedding at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
The couple became engaged later that year and married in 2021 in a romantic ceremony in the South of France after their wedding was delayed twice due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
