Queen Camilla's £20 Note Fumble at Ascot
24 Jun
Summary
- Queen Camilla was seen struggling with a £20 note at Royal Ascot.
- Royal horses, including one owned by King Charles and Queen Camilla, had disappointing results.
- Prince Harry confirmed that royals typically do not carry cash.
Queen Camilla recently caused a stir at Royal Ascot by appearing to struggle with a £20 bank note, a detail that stood out as Queen Elizabeth II reportedly never carried cash. The incident occurred during the event where royal horses faced a week of setbacks.
Earlier in the week, the King and Queen's favored horse, Reaching High, finished last. Later, another of their horses, Warrant Holder, narrowly missed a win, coming in second. These racing disappointments coincided with Camilla's cash-handling moment.
This observation echoes Prince Harry's own admission during a TV sketch, where he cheekily stated that royals don't carry cash. In contrast, King Charles and Princess Kate have occasionally been seen carrying money for small courtesies, like tipping bar staff.
Adding to the moments of note, Queen Camilla was also observed biting her nails during a particularly tense race at Ascot. This habit has been acknowledged in other members of the royal family, including the late Princess Diana, Prince William, and Meghan Markle, who once aimed to quit the practice.
