THE royal family has enjoyed its first family get-together since Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding with a day at the races.
The new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the Queen and Prince Philip, with Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie in the Royal Box at the Epsom Derby.

The royals gathered to cheer on Carlton House, the Queen's colt and 5-2 favourite, which came third after losing a shoe.

It was disappointing for the Queen, who had hoped to score her first Derby win.
"It's a prize she always wanted and at the end she looked deflated, but philosophical," an onlooker said.
Catherine was a fashion on the field standout, wearing wedding white by American designer Ralph Lauren, with a bronze hat and beige shoes by Reiss.
The choice of dress designer was a nod to the couple's upcoming tour of California this month, fashion observers said.
Pippa Middleton, who shot to fame after her turn as maid of honour, did not attend as she was competing in a triathlon, but reportedly had a secret catch-up with Prince Harry last week at famous London pub The Troubadour.
