Congratulations to Ryan Moore who won the Pertemps Network Yorkshire Oaks

Queen Camilla has awarded the winner's trophy on day two of the Sky Bet Ebor Festival 2025 at York Racecourse. 

The royal was all smiles as she handed Ryan Moore his trophy after winning the Pertemps Network Yorkshire Oaks. Before giving him the ornate glass trophy, the Queen was seen shaking Ryan's hand warmly.

Earlier, Ryan was pictured with the Queen as well as his horse. 41-year-old Ryan hails from Brighton, and he got his first win at just 16 years old with jumps in an amateur riders' handicap hurdle at Towcester.

The printed number featured long sleeves, structured shoulders, and a floaty skirt. It was paired with nude pumps, a cream hat, and what appeared to be a Bottega Veneta bag.

She has made floral dresses her go-to this week as she was spotted shopping in the Scottish village of Ballater with her granddaughter, Eliza Lopes, on 18 August wearing  Sophie Dundas' 'Isla' dress - love!

"One of my favorites is a mini dress that she wore to the Temperley London show at London Fashion Week back in 2011, which also features a callback to the Princess of Wales' wedding," writes Josh Osman.
