The King has attended three out of the four days of Royal Ascot so far.
The King, 75, reportedly told courtiers he wants to honour the memory of his late mother by attending this summer's Royal Ascot, despite undergoing cancer treatment.

King Charles plans to spend "at least" one day at the racing festival and will host a lunch for a select "bubble" of friends and family, according to reports.
Earlier in the year a source told The Mail: "Ascot is the perfect event for his current 'bubble'-style distancing preferences – there will be lots of fresh air and plenty of chances to be seen by royal fans who will be desperate to get a glimpse."
The couple, joined by the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, waved to the crowds in the grandstand - 500 schoolchildren from 23 schools among them - for the first of five days of racing.
