I think this may be the nicest suit I have ever seen on a public figure. One assumes a top hat with a suit is only appropriate at Royal Ascot?

It's a morning suit (see picture), which is why a top hat is acceptable.
Ah, so it is. I want a morning suit like that.

Hmmm . . . so many interesting details to dissect. It's a black hat with a gray suit. Note to self: Black hat with gray morning suit is OK. Spread collar. Check. Blue shirt with white collar. Check. Blue tie. Check. Similar but not matching pocket square. Check. Double breasted lapelled waistcoat. Check.
August demeanor. Gotta work on that one.
And regardless of what other people may say, the lady looks quite nice, too.

No fan of the man myself, but that's by the by - I certainly can't deny that his wardrobe, whether selected by himself or his tailor, or some collaboration between the two, is typically flawless. I'm a big fan myself of this less-formal all-over light grey morning suit look, albeit that its usefulness is limited if one wants to be strictly traditional.... Ascot is about the only place one could wear a grey jacket without being either the groom or the father of the bride.... As to the light grey matching trousers, these are permissible for grooms - not sure about the FotB?
The double-breasted, peaked (one assumes) lapel waistcoat is a particularly nice detail, IMO.
If in doubt - overdress.

That's the handiwork of Anderson & Sheppard.

The 'throne of England' - has something constitutional happened that I don't know about?
