Queen Camilla exuded royal glamour on Saturday afternoon as she stepped out to attend the Ascot Chase Raceday at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire

During her solo outing, the royal judged the ‘Best Turned Out Horse’ for the ‘Ebony Horse Club Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase’ race. Later on, she presented trophies to the winning connections and also met a group of young people benefitting from the Ebony Horse Club’s work.

Galloping ahead in the style stakes, Camilla, 77, looked so chic dressed in a tailored cream coat by Fiona Clare complete with a peter pan collar. She paired the wintry garment with some suede knee-high boots and spruced up her look with her trusty fur-trimmed hat, some leather gloves and a handbag from Apsinal of London.

For some added shine, Camilla, who is a regular at the racecourse, elevated her ensemble with the addition of an extra special accessory in the form of a horseshoe brooch. The sparkling jewel is a favourite of Her Majesty’s and boasts an array of dazzling sapphires and rubies.

It also features ‘Minoru’ spelled out in diamonds, which was the name of one of King Edward VII’s most successful thoroughbred racehorses. It’s thought that the brooch was created to provide the wearer with good luck

Minoru has multiple meanings in Japanese, but is typically used to denote ‘bountiful abundance’. Minoru’s historic win in 1909 at Epsom Downs Racecourse made King Edward VII the first reigning British monarch to win a Derby.
