The Queen stepped out for Style Wednesday at the horseracing event

Queen Camilla made a nod to Meghan Markle's style at the Cheltenham festival today.

The Queen, 76, arrived for Style Wednesday today, previously known as Ladies Day until this year.


For this occasion, Camilla carried a handbag from Demellier London called "The Mini Venice".

The £370 bag is also owned by Meghan Markle, who was seen carrying the accessory in 2018 during a visit to Cardiff.

The accessory has the following description: "The Mini Venice is as cute as it is practical.

"Crafted in luxurious calf leather, this little gem is lightweight, making it perfect for long days out. Choose to wear it over the shoulder, cross-body or by its ladylike handle."

Queen Camilla paired her handbag with a green coat and a matching faux fur hat today.

The Cheltenham festival has been accused of "going woke" this year, for replacing the annual Ladies Day with "Style Wednesday", in an effort to become gender-neutral.

Other royals that attended today include Zara Tindall, 42, and Princess Eugenie, 33.

The royal cousins arrived with their respective husbands, Mike Tindall and Jack Brooksbank.

Eugenie posed for pictures with Brooksbank, who was dressed in a light grey suit and green tie.

Zara and Mike exchanged a quick kiss before Princess Anne's daughter walked off with Eugenie.

Earlier this month, the two royal couples jetted off to Bahrain to watch the Grand Prix with Eugenie's mother Sarah Ferguson.

The Tindalls and the Brooksbanks later flew back to the UK with Jeremy Clarkson on a private jet.

Zara and Mike live in Gloucestershire, while Eugenie and Jack split their time between the UK and Portugal.
