Queen Camilla is elegant in an all-white ensemble as she attends the King George Racing Weekend at Ascot solo
Queen Camilla was typically elegant in an off-white ensemble as she arrived at Ascot Racecourse without King Charles this afternoon.
The Queen Consort, 78, was attending the annual King George Racing Weekend in Berkshire – and she more than dressed the part.
The royal opted for a monochrome look, in a tailored, off-white dress.
She styled the long-sleeved dress with a matching wide-brimmed hat, and carried an umbrella to shield from any impending rain.
Camilla completed her look with natural make-up, and kept her blonde hair in its usual bouncy style.
It’s been a busy week for the Queen Consort, who attended the Sandringham Flower Show with King Charles just days ago.
She saw the funny side as she met a royal fan who has had her royal cypher tattooed on his leg – and revealed that one of her police officers also has one too.
King Charles and the Queen were attending Sandringham Flower Show, held in the grounds of the Norfolk royal residence, where they marvelled at exhibits, toured stands and met hundreds of well-wishers in their final large-scale joint public engagement before they begin their summer holidays.

Phil Smith, 61, from Northampton pulled up his shorts to show Her Majesty his latest royal inking, telling her that it had ‘bloody hurt’, prompting her to laugh uproariously.
She then turned to her one of her police protection officers and said ‘look, he’s got one too’.
Mr Smith said afterwards that he had been writing to Camilla since before her marriage to the King as he thought ‘she was great’ and that she frequently responded.

He has a total of four large tattoos along the outer side of his left leg, starting with Queen Elizabeth’s royal cypher and including both Charles and Camilla’s individual ones.
His latest – situated on the top of his thigh – is of their joint royal cypher and took about an hour and a half to do.
He waited at the front of the crowd at the Sandringham Flower Show to show the Queen.
Wearing a black shirt, large cross, denim shorts and sliders, Mr Smith said after their meeting: ‘I just think she’s fabulous and have got to know her a bit. We just hit it off.
‘I love the royal family and she in particular has got a good sense of humour. She frequently responds.

‘I waited to see her to show her my latest [tattoo] and she laughed. She said one of her security men has also had it done too.’
He said he thought it was of their joint royal cypher and the police officer was there with her that day.
He added: ‘Honestly, she’s just great. We exchange letters. She knew who I was. She asked how long it [the latest one] took and I told her about two and a half hours.
‘But I told her this one bloody hurt. She just finds it hilarious.
‘She pulled her police officer’s sleeve and said ‘look, it’s catching on!’
