The Most Perfectly British Hats From the Royal Ascot 2025
At the Royal Ascot, the race track stakes are high, and the hats are even higher. Every June, members of Britain’s Royal family descend upon the grounds of the Ascot Racecourse, bringing with them a sense of polished refinement and those signature, gravity-defying hats and tea dresses. This year’s staging, taking place from June 17 to June 21, is no different.
The late Queen Elizabeth II, famously an avid equestrian, was a fixture of the Royal Ascot. Her family now continues that legacy. As is tradition, King Charles and Queen Camilla will lead the daily Royal procession this year, and Kate Middleton and Prince William are expected to attend later in the week. Surely, you can anticipate extended members of the Royal patronage—Princess Beatrice, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Zara Tindall—to show out as well as models, athletes, and members of Britain’s high society.
