The Queen interrupted her Scottish break for a glamorous outing on Thursday.
Camilla, 78, attended the second day of the Ebor Festival at York Racecourse, of which she is patron.
Her Majesty looked elegant in a pale blue belted coat over a white patterned dress, teamed with nude pumps and a Fedora-style hat with bow detailing.
Camilla’s appearance comes after she and the King officially took up their summer residence at Balmoral Castle.
The Queen was also spotted shopping in the nearby village of Ballater alongside her daughter, Laura Lopes, 47, and granddaughter, Eliza, 17.

Meeting charity representatives
During her outing, the Queen met with representatives from local charities supported by the track, members of the Yorkshire racing community and members of the York Racecourse team.
Over the last decade, a programme of continuous investment in the facilities for racegoers and horsemen has taken place.
Last August, Camilla opened the new Bustardthorpe End Development which offers racegoers shelter in the form of a canopy, food outlets and bookies.
