King Charles has delighted Ascot racegoers for four consecutive days in a display that proves that, at 77, the Monarch has staying power
Dapper in his morning suit, doffing his top hat to the ladies and beaming with delight at being surrounded by family and friends, King Charles proved he has as much staying power as the racehorses at Royal Ascot this week. Despite still undergoing regular weekly treatment for cancer more than a year after his initial diagnosis, His Majesty braved soaring temperatures to attend the world-famous race meet each day. Indeed the Mail understands that he has been so buoyed by the experience that he also plans to attend today too, his fifth day in a row. But there has been a serious side to the King's attendance: both he and his wife, Queen Camilla, feel strongly that Royal Ascot is an important showcase for both the British racing industry and the UK as a global tourist attraction, more generally. Indeed, the Berkshire racecourse has seen record attendance figures all week and, according to head of corporate affairs, Will Aitkenhead, seeing the monarch and his family is an intrinsic part of what makes the event so popular with the public. Describing how the course was founded by Queen Anne in 1711, he explained: 'Three hundred years later, we are still putting on top class racing. 'Thirteen monarchs through to His Majesty The King now. 'The support of the Royal Family for the meeting is incredible. People really look forward to seeing them here. 'Sometimes they have runners on the day and sometimes they are just here to support the industry, but either way they are an intrinsic part of the day. 'We welcome guests from around the world in particular America, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, UAE and across Europe. Royal Ascot is also broadcast in 180 countries. Horses from Japan, France, Germany, Norway, Australia, America, Ireland and Qatar compete, and lots of jockeys from overseas as well. Royal Ascot is a huge soft power asset for Britain.' A royal aide agreed, stressing how much Charles, 77, had embraced the 'sport of kings' so loved by his late mother and enjoyed interacting with so many members of the public, adding: 'The King feels it is important to show support for what is a huge industry and global showcase for the UK, especially given the number of high-level international visitors it attracts. 'He also genuinely enjoys the chance to catch up with old friends, celebrate royal tradition and see members of the wider public particularly given the [health] issues [he has endured] over the last year.' Indeed jovial Charles, 76, was seen yesterday affectionately kissing the hands of his stylish niece, Princess Eugenie, and her mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, who was wearing a vintage 1991 Catherine Walker outfit pulled from her wardrobe with a Jess Collett hat and Ethan K handbag. He also appeared entranced by his niece, Zara Tindall, who rocked the trouser suit look now permitted in the Royal Enclosure with a stylish powder blue two-piece. The King's own style nod has been to wear a different waistcoat with his morning suit each day – in pale shades of baby pink and blue or primrose yellow. His wife, Queen Camilla, looked cool in a white chiffon dress with embroidered flowers by Anna Valentine with a white feathered Philip Treacy hat and Queen Elizabeth's 'raspberry pip' diamond brooch. Among the other stars catching the action was Harry Potter creator, JK Rowling, who wore an oversized blue hat.

'Stupid, stupid, stupid' – Jackson opens door for Delap
On the day Liam Delap made his first start for Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson's response was to get himself sent off four minutes after replacing his new rival in the striker was dismissed on his 24th birthday after a late, studs-up challenge on Flamengo defender Lucas Ayrton at the end of a disastrous six-minute collapse where goals from Bruno Henrique and Danilo cancelled out Pedro Neto's early Yan rounded off the scoring with a late goal as Flamengo beat the Blues 3-1 in the Club World was the least a confident Flamengo, led by former Chelsea defender Felipe Luis, deserved. But the scapegoat will almost certainly be the Senegal international striker. It was, after all, his second red card in four matches and he is now suspended in two competitions - the Premier League and Club World means Delap will likely start the next match - an important clash against Tunisian side ES Tunis - and the opening game of the Premier League season at home to Crystal Palace. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is anticipating a longer ban as he suspects Jackson's red card for such reckless foul could rule him out of the asked about the sending off, he said: "It happened against Newcastle and today. I am not 100 percent sure it's a red card compared to the Newcastle one. "It's a little bit of a bad moment for Nico. The red card has nothing to do with Nico's future... Nico knows in both games it was not good for the team."Jackson apologised on Instagram while both defender Marc Cucurella and Maresca revealed the striker said sorry in person to his team-mates after the match. 'I'm so angry at myself' Jackson issued a statement on social media less than two hours after the match had finished. It read: "I want to say sorry. To the club, the staff, my team-mates, and all the fans watching, I let you down."Another red card... and honestly, I'm so angry at myself. I work hard every day to help the team not to put us in this kind of situation. I still don't fully understand how it happened. "But one thing is clear: it wasn't intentional. Just a football moment that went the wrong way."No excuses. I take full responsibility. I'll reflect, I'll grow, and I'll come back stronger for the badge and for everyone who believes in me. Sorry."Chelsea manager Maresca said in his post-match press conference that the red card has no bearing on Jackson's future. "Six minutes changed the game," he said. "In the second half, we started better compared to the first half. But we conceded two goals in two minutes and then the red card. It changed the dynamic. They deserved to win."Nico apologised. At Newcastle, we were just 1-0 down and it was in the first half. Today, we were 2-1 down but with half-an-hour left. There was time to play, but with one man down it became all the more difficult." Jackson criticised for 'stupid mistake' One of Jackson's long-time critics is former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel, who featured on the TV broadcast of the game on Dazn. He said: "[It's an] unbelievable, stupid, stupid stupid mistake, I don't know what is going through his head. You come into the game at 2-1 down and your team needs you and he does that. "He did that at Newcastle, a very important game we needed to win to get to the Champions League. You can't keep making mistakes. I don't care what his frustration is, it is massive club, Chelsea Football Club. "If you are annoyed that Delap is going to be the competition with you, if you are a big player you have to embrace it. We can become successful together as a team."Maresca must ask do I still trust this guy or do I stick with the player I brought into the football club, Delap? If he doesn't trust him then it is time for Delap to start the game. "It is the competition he is not embracing, he wants to be the only guy in the club. No, healthy competition is important. If he is not ready for it he shouldn't be at Chelsea Football Club."Cucurella defended his team-mate, saying: "He's very sad. He tried to win the ball, had the bad luck that he kicked his leg and that's it. He's a young player with a lot of quality but maybe needs to improve a little bit in these things."But he has to learn. After the manager spoke, he said sorry, he didn't do it on purpose. He's a very important player for us." Could Delap replace Jackson? Maresca said during the Premier League season that Jackson needs support from another forward and the Blues agreed a £30m fee with Ipswich for Delap just 24 hours after winning the Conference League. Delap scored 12 goals in 37 games for relegated Ipswich Town but also scored 24 times in Maresca's league-winning Manchester City Under-23 team in 2021, which also featured both Cole Palmer and Romeo started the 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC in the opening Club World Cup match and delivered an assist. But Delap also set up a goal for Enzo Fernandez on his debut - as the pair battle to impress. Subsequently, Delap earned his first start against Flamengo but had a quiet game where he received a yellow card. Third striker option Marc Guiu came on after Jackson's dismissal. Maresca previously said of the competition for places before his match with LAFC: "I am curious to see how Nico reacts (to Delap). He competed with [Marc] Guiu who is very young during the season. They are both good No9s."
