Princess Eugenie Honored at 2025 Royal Ascot

At the 2025 Royal Ascot, Princess Eugenie was honored with a prominent role in the royal procession by riding in the second carriage behind King Charles III and Queen Camilla, indicating a possible elevation in her public duties. Eugenie, accompanied by her husband Jack Brooksbank, is also set to present the trophy for the Hardwicke Stakes, marking a rare formal duty for a non-working royal. Queen Camilla drew attention for carrying Princess Diana’s Lady Dior handbag and wearing historic royal brooches, including the Cullinan V and the Cambridge Emerald Cluster as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. King Charles and Queen Camilla continued their support for horse racing, though their horse Purple Rainbow was unsuccessful in the Sandringham Stakes. The event also saw appearances from Prince William, Princess Anne, and Zara Tindall, each displaying personal and historic accessories. The occasion underscored both the enduring traditions and evolving roles within the royal family.
