Five days of Royal Ascot came to a close on Saturday afternoon with a huge royal turnout throughout the week, including the Princess of Wales's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, King Charles's cousins and Peter Phillips with his new girlfriend, Harriet Sperling.
While all eyes were on the fabulous fashion on display from the likes of Princess Beatrice and Zara Tindall, there were also some very animated reactions in the royal box.
There were cries of frustration from Queen Camilla as she and the King missed out on a winner in the King George V Stakes.
But Princess Eugenie appeared to be victorious on Wednesday as she jumped for joy.
See all of the best reactions from race day in the gallery below…

The King and Queen's hopes of a second Royal Ascot winner were dashed when their racehorse was well beaten on Ladies' Day.
Charles and Camilla's thoroughbred Gilded Water ran in the King George V Stakes, the same race that gave them their first victory at the famous Berkshire meet last year.
The Queen kept a keen eye on the race through a pair of binoculars as the King chatted to the couple's racing adviser John Warren, and she bobbed up and down in anticipation when the horse was among the leaders.
But the couple watched as it was left behind and finished well down in the pack as Going the Distance crossed the line first.
