Royal Ascot - Carriage Procession 2022

During Royal Ascot, the Queen normally rides in the carriage procession each day, with other members of the Royal Family and special guests. There are usually 4 carriages, each with 4 people. Given the Queen’s mobility issues, even if she does attend Royal Ascot I would not expect her to arrive by carriage. And likely would opt to travel from Windsor Castle to Ascot by car  

The Carriage Procession begins at 2:00 PM. (Not every royal in attendance rides in the carriage procession.)

Royal Attendance at Platinum Jubilee Events

X - Confirmed by Palace

E - Expected

? - Unsure

(Events children are likely to attend are marked with *)

The Guestlist for each event has not been released. We took a bit of a light approach to not get people's hopes up. I expect we will probably see more additions to this chart, not removals. While there have been varying media reports, we only marked Xs on things that the Palace has officially announced people will be attending.
