D.fter two years of closed gates and stables, Royal Ascot 2022 is back, the most famous and glamorous horse show in the United Kingdom. And Beatrice of York was the first royal to be seen. This year the dominant theme is brightly colored flowers and, unique in history, a little more freedom in the dress code: men will not be rejected if they wear, just think, Cuban shirts.

Will Queen Elizabeth be there too?
This year the horse races will be concentrated until 18 June. It is one of the most coveted social events in London. Yet anyone can buy a ticket: for a seat at Queen Anne Enclosure 87 pounds is enough, for a 37 pound Windsor Enclosure. Instead, the Royal Enclosure is by invitation only. Will Queen Elizabeth be there this year?
Indeed, the ruler of records (she just cut the ribbon of the longest-lived monarch in the world) is a huge horse lover. And last year it was received triumphantly. It will be necessary to see if her health conditions will allow it. But knowing her, he will surely surprise everyone …
