The Princess of Wales was seen joining trainer John Gosden at the Prince of Wales Stakes presentation ceremony at Royal Ascot.
The appearance comes after a thrilling resumption of the main Group 1 race, where Ombudsman delivered a dominant performance to retain his crown in impressive style.
Gosden, who trains the champion alongside his son Thady, has long been a familiar and respected figure at Royal Ascot.
The Prince of Wales’s Stakes remains one of Ascot’s most prestigious middle distance competitions, attracting top international competitors each year.
A top field of eight runners lined up for the 10-furlong contest, with the John and Thady Gosden-trained star sent off the 11-10 favorite as he aimed to become the first horse since Muhtarram in 1995 to win the race back-to-back.
The race moved at a brisk pace early on, with Devil’s Advocate and Mississippi River battling it out at the front and setting a searching tempo from the start.
Jockey William Buick was content to bide his time aboard Ombudsman, stalking the leaders before heading into the straight.
Speaking after the race, trainer John Gosden paid tribute to the performance, praising both the pace and his horse’s exceptional turn of foot.
“It was a real race race and everything went as we hoped in terms of pace,” Gosden said.
