Reigning monarch sees Ruler Of The World win Derby

 Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh attend Derby Day at The Derby Festival on June 1, 2013 in Epsom, United Kingdom.



THE Queen headed to the races today — and saw the Ruler Of The World romp home.

Britain's reigning monarch watched the 7-1 shot, ridden by Ryan Moor, storm to victory in her annual visit to the Epsom Derby.

Beatrice and Eugenie, who have faced criticism in the past for their choice of hat, especially for those worn at Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton, chose wisely this time opting for delicate headpieces.
Beatrice elected to wear a maroon cloche style — popular in the 1920s — which matched her lipstick and handbag, and flattered her red hair.
