Stanley Tucci joins the King and Queen for Ascot procession with wife Felicity Blunt as they enjoy a day out at the races alongside Carole Middleton and the Duchess of Edinburgh

Stanley Tucci attended Royal Ascot with his wife, Felicity Blunt, alongside members of the British royal family including King Charles, Queen Camilla, Carole Middleton, and the Duchess of Edinburgh. Other notable attendees included Isabelle de La Bruyere, the long-term partner of David Armstrong-Jones, who made her debut in the royal procession.

It's a match made in society heaven as Hollywood and royalty came together for Ladies Day at Royal Ascot today.

Stanley Tucci, 65, who is a regular at royal events and dinner parties, looked just as comfortable in a landau as he travelled to the Berkshire racecourse alongside his wife, Felicity Blunt.

The American actor dressed for the part as he opted for a black top hat with an impeccably tailored suit.

Meanwhile, the sister of Tucci's The Devil Wears Prada co-star, Oscar nominee Emily Blunt , put on a stylish display in a floral dress for the most popular day of the festival, when racegoers pull out all the fashion stops.

Another famous face making their debut in the Royal Family 's Ascot procession was the Earl of Snowdon's long-term girlfriend, Isabelle de La Bruyere, as the pair had the honour of riding alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla .

Smiling at the crowds, Princess Margaret 's son David Armstrong-Jones , 64, has been dating the French art dealer since 2022, two years after he split from his wife Serena Stanhope after 27 years of marriage.

While the loved-up royal couple attended Ascot together last year, today is the first time Isabelle has joined the royal carriage procession - as she cut a striking figure in a white dress with a black belt.

Travelling behind King Charles and Queen Camilla in the second open-top landau were the Princess Royal, her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, 45, was pictured in the third carriage, riding alongside Princess Zahra Aga Khan, daughter of the Aga Khan, Qatari businessman Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani, and legendary Irish racehorse trainer Willie Mullins.

Senior royals joined thousands of stylish racegoers who put their best fashion foot forward as Ladies Day got underway.

However, the warm weather meant sleeveless dresses and airy skirts were popular sartorial choices - as the UK braces for the start of a six-day heatwave with temperatures expected to rise to 27C this afternoon.

A static area of high pressure building across mainland Europe – known as a 'heat dome' – is resulting in increasingly warm and humid air for southern England.

London, the East, South East and South West regions were placed under the amber alert, while the Midlands faces a yellow warning. There are no alerts for the North.

These warnings run from midday today until next Tuesday at 8pm – although the Met Office forecast currently suggests the heatwave could last until at least Wednesday.

The amber alert states that the areas covered are likely to see 'a rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions', while 'significant impacts are likely across health and social care services' due to the heat.
