Prince William and Kate Middleton match in sunny looks at Royal Ascot

Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, stepped out for annual horse racing event Royal Ascot on Wednesday.

The royal couple traveled from Windsor Castle to southern England's Ascot Racecourse in a horse-drawn carriage, following King Charles III and Queen Camilla in their carriage. Kate wore a sunny yellow dress and matching hat for the occasion and William sported a matching yellow flower on his morning suit.

William was on hand at Ascot to present The Prince of Wales' Stakes trophy on the second day of the event.

This year marks a return to Royal Ascot for the Princess of Wales, who missed the 2025 event amid her then-gradual return to work after her cancer treatment.

Charles and Camilla kicked off the five-day festival with a royal procession Tuesday, three days after the royal family celebrated Trooping the Colour, the yearly event celebrating the king's birthday.

The British royal family has long supported the Ascot Racecourse, which was founded by Queen Anne in 1711. Royal Ascot runs from Tuesday, June 16 until Saturday, June 20 this year.
