Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster smiles with rarely-seen son
Loose Women star Penny Lancaster stunned in florals as she attended the Royal Ascot with her son, Alastair Wallace Stewart, while Sir Rod Stewart's absence didn't go unnoticed Penny Lancaster has been pictured enjoying a day at the races with her and her husband Sir Rod Stewart's rarely-seen son Alastair. Penny Lancaster turned heads at Royal Ascot as she stepped out in a glamorous vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress, joined by her son Alastair, 19. The model, 53, oozed elegance on the opening day of the prestigious racing event, teaming the floral frock with gold heels, a chic Annabel Fenley percher hat and a £1,100 Loewe Bee basket bag. The mother and son duo enjoyed some quality time together in a the rare public outing – weeks ahead of musician Sir Rod's epic Glastonbury headline performance. The couple's son looked fresh in a classic morning suit and grey top hat as he enjoyed the VIP experience at the Berkshire event - a rare public outing for the teen. Penny also shares 14-year-old Aiden with Sir Rod, who has eight children in total - four sons and four daughters with five different women. The couple were last seen together on May 23 at the London premiere of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. But just days later, Rod, 80, was forced to cancel yet another Las Vegas show due to illness. He had been due to perform at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on June 5 but pulled out after doctors advised him to rest while recovering from the flu. Taking to Instagram, the Maggie May singer wrote: 'I'm awfully sorry to have to cancel my show June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding. Rod.' Despite the setback, Sir Rod has a packed tour schedule lined up for the rest of the year, including the iconic Legends slot at Glastonbury later this month. He recently admitted the idea of retiring terrifies him, 'I enjoy going out on tour now more than I've ever done at this ripe old age of 80,' he said 'I'm doing seven concerts in Vegas and then I am everywhere around the world. I'm playing Athens, Germany, three nights in Buenos Aires, two nights in Rio, it goes on and on and on.' 'It keeps me fit. You have got to be fit to do it,' he added 'I would probably die if I didn't do it.' He also touched on how over the years he's watched so many give up their career, retire and end up with nothing to wake up for. 'I don't know what they do with themselves - they must get up and go 'What do I do today? Down the betting shop? Have a drink?' I don't know.' he said The Royal Ascot event runs through to Saturday, with King Charles and Queen Camilla expected to take part in the traditional carriage procession.
