The reputation of royal horse racing in Ascot is almost hopelessly ruined. On Thursday, an ugly fight broke out near the royal box. It is just right for Her Majesty to say: "Eh, there were people in our time, not like the current tribe …". Where has English respectability gone?
This year the famous event turns 300 years old - it was in 1711 that Queen Anne discovered a suitable place for organizing equestrian competitions.
Queen Elizabeth II has not missed the races in Ascot since 1945, when the 19-year-old princess first came here with her parents. Royal Ascot has long been the main summer event in UK social life. The strictest dress code applies here. Gentlemen are prescribed bowlers and top hats, ladies need to choose an appropriate outfit (no mini-skirts!), And most importantly - an original headdress.
However, British observers - both secular and sports - note that the royal races have lost their former gloss, writes Gazeta.ru. Among the public there are gentlemen without top hats, and ladies, instead of exquisite hats, show vulgar outfits and tattoos. Moreover, on the very first day of the races, a young man with drugs was detained in Ascot.
"It is disrespectful not only to the queen, but also to the horses," Ascot commentator Sir Peter O'Sullivan was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
But the loudest scandal erupted on June 16 - not far from the royal box, eight drunk men, incited by girls whose appearance in no way corresponded to the traditional image of British ladies, staged a grand scuffle. Not only chairs were used, but empty bottles of Laurent Perrier champagne. In the end, the police arrested two of the most active participants in the scuffle, grabbing knives.

This can easily be traced back to new American and European films. The attractiveness of the new generation is devoid of clear gender differences, or, in the language of fashionable terms, androgy
