Fergie can't contain her excitement at being invited to Ascot with Andrew and Beatrice

It's been 22 years since Fergie divorced from the Queen's son Prince Andrew, but her enduring fondness for the monarch couldn't be stronger.  

The Duchess of York, 59, could hardly contain her excitement as the Queen's carriage pulled up at Royal Ascot this afternoon, waving ecstatically to the monarch to welcome her to the Parade Ring.

Fergie hasn't been a member of the royal family for more than two decades, but she proved that she hasn't forgotten how to curtsey as she bobbed in deference to the monarch alongside her daughter Princess Beatrice. 

Mother and daughter were joined for the occasion by Prince Andrew who doffed his top hat to his mother as her carriage arrived. 

The Queen was accompanied in her carriage by the Earl of Snowdon, the son of her late sister Princess Margaret, and her racing manager John Warren. 


Beatrice, 29, opted for an understated look in a pale grey dress by The Fold teamed with a pink picture hat by Sarah Cant.

Meanwhile, her mother looked elegant in a dress by Roland Mouret teamed with a hat by Philip Tracey, a royal favourite.

Since splitting from Prince Andrew, the Duchess does not appear at public events with the rest of the royal family. 

However, she's welcomed back into the fold for Royal Ascot and this is the fourth year running that she's attended.
