As for Charles’spenchant for the Anderson & Sheppard wardrobe staple, he toldBritish Vogueeditor Edward Enninful last year that, “in the case of that particular morning coat, as long as I can go on getting into it, [I will].”
He added, “I only wear it a few times a year, in the summer, so obviously you want to keep those sorts of things going.”
At this week’s festivities, Charles chose to accessorize the suit this week with a lavender tie, though he andCamilla, Duchess of Cornwalldidskip one accessorymost Ascot attendees typically wear: a name tag.
