Royal Procession 2026: Who’s in Each Carriage On Day 3?
A look at the published Royal Procession carriages list for Thursday, with some famous faces heading to the Day 3 of the 2026 Royal Ascot meeting.
Once again, the Royal Procession is scheduled to make the mile-long journey down Ascot’s famous straight at 2pm sharp. It has been a tradition since 1825, with the first ever Royal Procession taking place back then and is now part and parcel of Royal Ascot’s heritage.
The Royal Procession signals the start of each day at the Royal Meeting and is now eagerly anticipated by both racing fans and those who follow British culture and history from all over the world.
And if you have placed a bet on the colour of King Charles III’s tie today, you’ll be keeping a close eye on proceedings – with HM The King and HM The Queen once again travelling in the front carriage.
