The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall's royal Australian tour diary takes them to Flemington today, for the Melbourne Cup.
The Duchess will present the lauded cup just after three o'clock this afternoon (AEDT), before an expected crowd of more than one hundred thousand, while Prince Charles will award the Diamond Jubilee Plate.
The royal couple's six day Australian tour across six states and territories is focused on advocacy - from promoting wool to healthy eating to osteoporosis awareness.
Clarence House assistant press secretary Eva Omaghomi says the theme of the Diamond Jubilee is Service to Others'.
While in Melbourne, Prince Charles will meet aspiring young cricketers from Cricket Victoria's Harmony Program, before later visiting the National Rugby League's "Dream Believe Achieve" program in Sydney for indigenous youths.
The duchess, whose mother Rosalind Shand died aged 72 from osteoporosis, will also visit a Melbourne reception for Osteoporosis Australia.
