Racing dreams dashed for King and Queen on opening day of Royal Ascot

King Charles and Queen Camilla watched their horse Reaching High finish well beaten in the Ascot Stakes on the opening day of Royal Ascot, with 25-1 shot Kizlyar taking victory. The royal couple, who inherited the late Queen's stable and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot win in 2023 with Desert Hero in the King George V Stakes, still have four more horses entered later in the week. Charles did present a trophy in the King Charles II Stakes, won by Mission Central and trained by Aidan O'Brien.
