Full list of royals in today's Ascot carriage procession - including surprise celeb guest

Royal Ascot have released the carriage procession list for Ladies Day, with the King and Queen named for the third day in a row. The royal couple will lead the first carriage, and will be joined by the King's cousin, the Earl of Snowdon and his girlfriend Isabelle de La Bruyere.

The couple were recently spotted among the high-profile guests of Peter Phillips' wedding to Harriet Sperling at the start of the month. Isabelle, who has been dating Princess Margaret's son for about two years, is an internationally acclaimed art expert.

The second carriage is another all royal affair, with the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence joined by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

Following in the third carriage is Princess Zahra Aga Khan, who recently took over her father's horse-racing empire after his death last February. High Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, who died aged 88, was a spiritual leader of 12-15 million Ismailis - a mystical sect of Shia Islam - in more than 25 countries worldwide.

She will be joined by Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani, a prominent member of the Qatari royal family and CEO of Qatar Racing, Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, and Irish racehorse trainer and former jockey, Willie Mullins.

The final carriage hosts Lord and Lady Cavendish, close friends of Camilla who attended the Coronation in May 2023. They are joined by American actor Stanley Tucci and his wife, Felicity Blunt.

The Devil Wears Prada actor has met the King several times before, including when Charles hosted a special, star-studded Italian-themed dinner at his Highgrove Estate.
