Taking part in the traditional royal procession, Charles, 76, sat next to Queen Camilla, 77, in the first carriage as it travelled past packed stands on the Berkshire course to the tune of the national anthem.
Travelling behind in the second carriage was the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh as well as Princess Anne, 74, and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
Charles' stylish nieces Zara Tindall, 44, and her husband Mike, 46, as well as Princess Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi featured in the third and fourth carriage.
Zara herself looked glamorous in a monochrome chic outfit, which she teamed with an elegant hat.
Meanwhile Princess Beatrice had also opted for bright shades of yellow for Ladies' Day - adding a white floral hat to match.
Yesterday, the Princess of Wales sparked concern after pulling out of attending the races at the last minute. But aides stressed that Kate was continuing to "balance her return to public life" following her cancer diagnosis last year will resume her duties with a slow and measured approach.
