It’s that time of year again! The British Royal Family attended the second day of races at the Ascot Racecourse on June 19th. Royal Ascot is a permanent fixture on the British Royal Family’s June calendar and the late Queen attended all five days of the horse-racing event for over 70 years. This year, Royal Ascot follows Order of the Garter Service and Trooping the Colour.
