It's mostly the usual suspects, including all the Queen's children, Charles and Camilla, Princess Anne, aka the Princess Royal, Prince Andrew and his daughters, and Prince Edward and his wife. What's new this year? Meghan! The new Duchess of Sussex is right there in carriage three. No sign of the Queen's husband, Prince Philip, and Will and Kate also get a day off. You can see last year's carriage lineup, for all five days of Ascot, here.

And here's Meghan, looking chic in a black and white hat:
