‼️A Royal Welcome‼️

King Charles welcomed members of the Afghan Refugee Women’s Cricket Team to Clarence House. Founded in 2010, the team lost official recognition after the Taliban returned to power. Many players fled Afghanistan and have since rebuilt their lives in Australia while continuing their campaign for recognition and the chance to play the game they love.

‼️Behind the Lens at Ascot‼️

While we admire the elegance of Carole Middleton and Alizée Middleton on Day Two of Royal Ascot, there is another story unfolding. The jostling, the crowds, the split-second timing and the race to capture the perfect moment.

Yet somehow, Brungraf always manages it.

Turning the madness behind the lens into effortless beauty in front of it. That’s the magic of a truly talented photographer.

‼️Through Oliver’s Lens‼️
Day 2 of Royal Ascot looked even more magical through the lens of Oliver Turrell. His striking black and white images captured both the majesty and the quiet moments behind the scenes that so often go unnoticed.

The angles, the atmosphere and the storytelling are simply magnificent. We are genuinely speechless and, like so many royal watchers, absolutely adore his work.

‼️A Sweet Father’s Day Tribute‼️
Princess Eugenie shared a lovely Father’s Day message for husband Jack Brooksbank, calling him “the best there is” and joking that he was also the “chief child entertainer” at a best friend’s wedding. She added, “The boys couldn’t ask for a better Dada.”

From family strolls to keeping little ones happy during the celebrations, Jack seems to have earned his royal stripes.

‼️Princess Anne at Ascot‼️

The Princess Royal looked lovely in soft pink on Day 2 of Royal Ascot, wearing a beautifully tailored ensemble first seen at the races some 25 years ago. While fashions come and go, Anne’s elegant approach to dressing remains wonderfully unchanged.

No one does a royal rewear quite like Princess Anne — practical, polished and perfectly at home at Ascot.

‼️ Zara Tindall: Calm, Classy and Completely Unfazed‼️
Looking absolutely beautiful on Day 2 of Royal Ascot, Zara Tindall showed why she remains one of the most relatable royals.

After reportedly being stopped by security over an issue with her pass, Zara simply headed to the front office, waited patiently like everyone else and sorted it out without fuss or fanfare.
