An enclousere fit for a king...  1822 inspired Ascot
Although a Royal Stand dates back to the 1790's, the Royal Enclosure that current regulars are used to at Ascot was conceived in 1822 when King George IV commissioned a two-
story
stand to be built with a surrounding lawn. Access was by invitation of the King. The Royal Enclosure was further developed in the mid-nineteenth century when the Emperor of Russia, Nicholas I, visited Ascot for the first time as a guest of Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert. The concern raised from an impromptu descent in to the winners’ enclosure by the Royal Party prompted authorities to enclose the area in front of the Royal Stand in 1845. To this day entry is still by invitation only.
