Dust up at Royal Ascot!

My Dear Loyal Subjects:

I come before you today to read The Riot Act. It's bad enough I must deal with Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie's skin-tight red dress shenanigans but now this? ..... A drunken brawl, a celebrity call girl and tattooed men (and women) ... whatever happened to a genteel day out at Ascot?

For 300 years, it has been the highlight of the summer calendar for the well-off and well-connected.

But these days, it seems, the enclosures and stands of Royal Ascot are becoming increasingly popular with a much less distinguished breed of racegoer.

As the Queen’s favourite racing event celebrates its tricentenary, fights have been breaking out amongst the male racegoers at the historic Berkshire course, watched by worse for wear women who can barely stay upright in their high heels.

A quick glance across the terraces reveals a sea of flesh and unsightly tattoos – of women in cheap, tawdry dresses and men who have shunned the expected top hat.Notice the dummy on the right - that's a $154 bottle of Laurent Perrier Rose Champagne. Hopefully, he had the presence of mind to first drink it!
