King Charles and Queen Camilla’s horse, Reaching High, finished last in the Ascot Stakes held at Royal Ascot on Tuesday. The gelding, ridden by jockey Ryan Moore, was considered the strong favorite with odds of 13-8 but was unable to maintain a competitive position in the field of 20 runners. Reaching High, who had previously placed ninth in the same race last year, fell significantly behind the leaders this time.

Despite this disappointing result, the royal couple remains actively involved in the week-long racing festival, with five additional horses still entered to compete in various events. The Ascot Stakes is a key race during the Royal Ascot meeting, drawing top thoroughbreds from across the country and internationally. The performance of Reaching High was a setback for the royal stable, but the presence of other entries offers continued opportunities for success during the prestigious racing week.
