The Queen, who became the first reigning monarch to win the race, was seen cheering home her four-year-old in enthusiastic fashion, while the 7-2 winner was greeted by huge cheers from the crowd.
Estimate, a daughter of Monsun bred by the Aga Khan, was settled in midfield by Moore as German raider Earl Of Tinsdal set the early pace.
He was closely followed by Saddler’s Rock in second with last year’s winner Colour Vision third.
Moore always seemed confident and his mount improved her position as the race reached its closing stages, hitting the front only to be challenged by Simenon and Top Trip, who came late and fast.
Simenon, a dual winner at the royal meeting last year and trained by leading jumps trainer Willie Mullins, looked a huge threat under Johnny Murtagh, but Estimate held on to delight racegoers and her famous owner.
Stoute said of his 66th Royal Ascot winner: “She showed a lot of courage and was always in a lovely position. She switches off so well.”
Stoute, winning his first top-level race since Workforce’s Arc success in 2010, added: “It’s a great thrill and honour as we know how much she [the Queen] loves the game.”
It was a second Gold Cup triumph for Stoute – he won it with Shangamuzo in 1978 – but a first for Moore, who said: “She won well. We had a great draw, she relaxes well and has a good attitude. She was always holding on. It’s fantastic to ride a winner for the Queen.”
Mullins, “pleased and disappointed” with the performance of Simenon, was equally honoured to have played a part in one of racing’s great days.
“The stands erupted, you could see everyone wanting to get to the front to see, and I’m sure it’s a very good result for racing,” he said, adding of his gallant second: “He’s run a career-best.”
Also on Thursday, King George V Stakes (Handicap) 1m4f, 3yo
A DOUBLE for the Queen, which would have lifted the roof off the grandstand, failed to materialise as Bold Sniper ran a gallant race finishing third behind Elidor.
Trained by Mick Channon, 20-1 chance Elidor was giving Martin Harley his first winner at the meeting, with the jockey describing it as “a dream come true.”
All eyes were on Bold Sniper, who was sent off the 7-2 favourite, but despite Ryan Moore’s best efforts the colt ran out of steam deep inside the final furlong, with Elidor a length clear while Space Ship took second at 16-1. Fourth went to Cap O’Rushes at 20-1.
Channon said: “We thought he had a decent chance, he’s a smashing little horse.”

COVENTRY STAKES G2: L’O’Brien che non ti aspetti. Nella prova dei puledri che l’anno scorso ha laureato Dawn Approach) a vincere è stato un portentoso War Command (War Front), bellissimo e di mole, che negli ultimi 200 metri ha lasciato a distanza siderale Parbold (Dandy Man) e Sir John Hawkins (Henrythenavigator) con al quarto Thunder Strike (Sakhee’s Secret) ancora con Lanfranco Dettori in sella. Non una edizione esaltante delle Coventry forse, ma il vincitore (che pagava 20/1) aveva in sella Seamie Heffernan per i colori di Joseph Allen e, come Declaration Of War, è un figlio dello stallone americano War Front (Danzig) che funziona in America alla Claiborne Farm in Kentucky al tasso di $80,000. Tempo finale sui 1200 metri di 1m 12.86s (slow by 0.46s).
