The Duchess of Edinburgh (centre) had Prince Edward and Lady Louise in hysterics this weekend when she took part in an unusual challenge while carriage driving. Sophie, 59, was seen participating in the Sandringham Driving Horse Trials on Saturday while her husband and daughter watched on. During the event, the royal was challenged to hold a wine glass full of sparkling water (right) between her teeth as she drove along. The Duchess (left) was then meant to place the glass down at the next stand - but missed the post.

THE inquiry into the election betting fiasco triggers nervous gulps among Palace flunkeys who discreetly provide inside information about royal events to favoured punters for a fee. Before the Palace released advance details of what the Queen would wear to Royal Ascot, one courtier trousered a hefty bookie bonus by correctly betting on her hat colour.

As essayist Walter Bagehot noted on the mystery of majesty: 'We must not let in daylight upon magic.' TREASURY plumbers are on standby for likely election victor Rachel Reeves's elevation to Chancellor. Current incumbent Jeremy Hunt's black-and-white tiled private bathroom is 'masculine and functional' and has never had a female occupant.
