The Princess of Wales shared a carriage with Prince William, Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
when it comes to Royal Ascot this week, and Princess Kate was no exception when she attended the event on Friday.
The Princess of Wales wore a striking red dress by her favourite designer, Alexander McQueen, accessorised with a fetching red hat by Philip Treacy. She added a coordinating red clutch bag and red court shoes.Her chic red dress had a plunging neckline and pretty puff sleeves, and Princess Kate let her gown do the talking, eschewing a necklace in favour of a pair of statement Esmee earrings by one of her favourite jewellery brands, Sezane.
While she does attend each year, it is thought Royal Ascot is not her favourite event, as she's allergic to horses! Princess Kate opened up about her issue to Australian author Kathy Lette during a polo match. When Kathy asked the royal why she didn't play herself, Prince William's wife said: "I'm allergic to horses."Two years later in 2011, Clarisa Ru, wife of Santa Barbara Polo Club president Wesley Ru told PEOPLE that the Princess of Wales was attempting to overcome her allergy through exposure – also known as immunotherapy.
She's not wrong. Exposing yourself to the allergens from horses works in the same way as immunotherapy, which the NHS describes as "being given occasional small doses of the allergen" with the aim "to help your body get used to the allergen so it does not react to it so severely."
