The Queen to invite Meghan Markle into her carriage during Royal Ascot Evens with Ladbrokes

I don't know Queen Elizabeth II, but I do know where she'll be at 2pm between June 19-23 – making her way up Ascot's home straight as part of the Royal procession.

Equally, I don't know who she is planning to invite, but surely it's a near certainty that on one of those days Meghan Markle will be in the carriage? She will have become a member of the royal family by then and, as an American, what better way to show off what Great Britain does best than a day at the royal meeting?

Surely the only thing that can scupper the bet is if Meghan and Harry are still on honeymoon but, with a May wedding, they should have returned long before Ascot begins. Even a two-week break gives her ample time, and surely it's a question of if she's at home, she goes.
