Beatrice and Edoardo were joined by Professor Douglas Antczak and Mrs Douglas Antczak in the carriage. The Princess appeared to recover from the incident once the horse was settled, and was later seen smiling whilst getting down from the carriage.

The royal, 33, was the epitome of elegance, rocking a regal polka-dot printed dress with sleek pointed-toe heels and a black and white floral fascinator. She certainly turned some heads in her crystal-embellished Saloni dress.

With her auburn tresses worn in loose waves, Princess Beatrice showcased a natural yet camera-ready glamour glow, consisting of a radiant complexion, gently brushed brows and a bronzed smokey eye. Meanwhile, Edoardo, 38, looked dapper in a traditional top hat and a long coat over a yellow waistcoat and black tie.

Over the course of the annual event, the royal couple made a number of appearances. On one of the days, Beatrice revealed she now goes by her married name. Her Ascot name badge revealed her new name, 'HRH Princess Beatrice, Mrs Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi'.
