Dramatic moment horse pulling Royal carriage into Ascot gets spooked

Horses pulling Princess Beatrice’s carriage into Royal Ascot became spooked as crowds watched on at guards attempting to control them.

The royal, who was with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, seemed unphased by the horse jolting around as they entered the arena.

33-year-old Beatrice managed to climb out smiling and uninjured by the situation.
