That is the history that we are trying to continue. The royal procession down the course. It’s still a standalone feature of what happens at Royal Ascot.”\n\nPrincess Anne's son-in-law outlined the sequence of travel involved, beginning with official vehicles before transferring into horse-drawn carriages.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHe said: “You jump in cars. The fleet of cars that they use are very old, historical, good old-fashioned sort of cars.”\n\nThe father-of-three later clarified they were “state cars” used to transport guests towards the Great Park before the carriage stage of the journey.\n\nHe added that the carriage ride itself lasts approximately 20 minutes from start to finish.\n\nMr Chamberlin referred to the traditional landaus used in the procession, asking whether they were the wicker-sided carriages associated with the event.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMrs Tindall's husband confirmed this, describing the experience of travelling through the course: “You go past, I don’t know how many schools you go past, it seems to be a load.\n\n“They always let the children out and wave their British flags, and I’m thinking, that’s great.”\n\nHe noted the conditions can be challenging in hot weather: “If it’s too hot, it’s a bit of a nightmare. The sweat!”\n\nMr Tindall laughed before adding: “Don’t take the hat off - there’s this, like, pool of water drops out.”\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
