Princess Anne's Carriage Delays Royal Ascot Procession

Princess Anne's carriage experienced a malfunction during the Royal Ascot procession in Cheapside, Berkshire, as fallen reins on the second carriage caused a brief delay. Royal aides quickly intervened, and King Charles paused his own carriage so the family could continue together, ensuring the procession soon resumed. The Princess Royal was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, Annabel Elliot, Peter Phillips, and Harriet Sperling, who made her royal carriage debut. Anne attended the first day but is set to miss today's event due to a scheduled engagement at the Lincolnshire Show. This year, Royal Ascot marks the 200th year of its ceremonial carriage procession. King Charles is planning to attend all five days of the prestigious event.
