King Charles III's cousin Lady Sarah Chatto was all smiles as she attended day two of Royal Ascot with her husband Daniel.

The pair took part in the carriage procession alongside a string of senior royals, including King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William.

Lady Sarah, 61, and Daniel, 68, rode together alongside author Robert Harris and his wife, Gill. For the sporting extravaganza, the monarch's cousin wore a coral-pink outfit which she teamed with a wide-brim hat in a soft caramel shade. 

She elevated her outfit with a pair of pearl earrings, a layered pearl necklace, and a slick of bright pink lipstick. Daniel, meanwhile, looked smart in a morning suit and a top hat.

It was a family affair for the royals, with the likes of Carole Middleton and James Middleton's wife, Alizee, also in attendance. The pair arrived together, with Kate's mother rocking a lemon-yellow lace dress from ME+EM, while Alizee donned a mint-green and white check long-sleeved dress peppered with delicate floral sprigs.

It marks the official birthday of the British Sovereign.

Lady Sarah is the daughter of Princess Margaret and photographer, Antony Armstrong-Jones. She has long maintained a close friendship with her cousins King Charles and Princess Anne. She was particularly close to her aunt, the late Queen Elizabeth II, up until her death in September 2022.

Sarah and Daniel tied the knot in a low-key ceremony at Stephen's Walbrook in the City of London on 14 July 1994.

They are doting parents to two sons: Samuel, 27, and Arthur, 25. Their eldest is following in the family's arty footsteps, and is now working as a ceramicist, while Arthur worked as a personal trainer before later serving with the Royal Marines.

Samuel's artistic talents can in part be attributed to his mother who studied art at the Royal Academy Schools. She is also Vice President of The Royal Drawing School and Patron of the Frederick Ashton Foundation.
