No other British Royals, other than the King and Queen, in the carriage procession today.

I was curious as to why this Sheikh would be in the carriage procession, so I Googled him. I think the Wikipedia article shows why he was invited. No political talk, please.

Frankly, I was more surprised to see a Saudi prince the first day, instead of the usual Maktoum/Jordan contingent.

I don't think there's been a JOrdanian/Maktoum presence in the carriages since at least 2021/2022, when her ex's many and various nefarious actions were revealed.

Fergie's dress is miles better than the awful one she wore on Tuesday, so good for her. Zara's pantsuit is just...why?? The trousers don't fit quite right, the hems are grass-srained, and she's pushed up the jacket sleeves like Twerker does. Why??

Eugenie looks perfect for a day at the races. She looks great!

Zara's trouser suit was a no go for me as well. She looked very awkward when she curtsied to the King and Queen.

Sarah Duchess of York's dress

I knew I had seen the dress worn by Sarah before. It's a Catherine Walker dress she first wore back in the early 1990s.

Cool! It looks like the only alteration Fergie's done is replacing the giant shoulder pads with smaller ones.
