King Charles cut an elegant figure as he arrived at the Cartier Queen’s Cup Polo on Sunday afternoon, where guests also included Princess Diana’s twin nieces.
The 75-year-old monarch brought a royal touch to the final day of the prestigious tournament, which was held this year in Egham, Surrey.
Guests at the exclusive event also included Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, 31, the twin daughters of Diana’s brother Charles Spencer.
Sponsored by Cartier since 2012, the Cartier Queen’s Cup is one of the largest polo tournaments in the world and features some of the best players and ponies in the sport.
The tournament takes place over three weeks and the first trophy was awarded by the king’s late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1960.

Both the king and his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, are receiving cancer treatment, and the monarch recently announced that he would return to public duties.
In February, Buckingham Palace confirmed that he had been diagnosed with a type of cancer, other than prostate cancer, that was discovered while the King was being treated at the private clinic in London for an enlarged prostate.
Charles initially postponed his public-facing duties but resumed them in late April, speaking of his “shock” at being diagnosed with cancer while meeting patients during a visit to University College Hospital’s Macmillan Cancer Center in downtown London.
For the occasion yesterday, King Charles III traveled in a carriage with Queen Camilla, unlike last year’s ceremony due to her illness, and inspected the officers and guards on Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall from the carriage in place on horseback.
At today’s polo, Charles seemed to be in good shape and interacting with the guests around him.
Among those in attendance were the glamorous Spencer sisters and Lady Amelia opted for a sophisticated white silk blouse and trousers, paired with gold accessories.
Her twin sister, Lady Eliza, accessorized her in a short-sleeved white belted dress.
The brothers grew up in South Africa but moved to the UK three years ago and have enjoyed the high fashion scene ever since.
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2021, the duo spoke about their childhood in the wealthy South African suburb of Constantia, admitting that they do not use their titles outside the UK and that they had a “normal, happy childhood”.

Other attendees at the event included popular Swedish singer Mabel, Trippin singer Kara Marni and actress Nikkita Chadha.
Charles’s attendance at the polo coincided with Father’s Day and came just hours after the Royal Family’s X account shared images of the King and his late father, Prince Philip, taken from the BFI archive.
The Prince of Wales also shared a photo of him playing football with the King. The photo of William and Charles together in the gardens of Kensington Palace was taken on June 12, 1984.
“Happy Father’s Day, Dad,” read the social media post, personally signed by William.
The photo shows William, almost two years old, in short dungarees and a blue striped blouse, and the King in a gray double-breasted suit kicking a small soccer ball.
Later that year, William would have a younger brother, and the Duke of Sussex would be born in September.
