Is this the infamous one when they were all at the Races. They have a sweep on each race in the Royal Box and the Queen wins. So she is due a fiver from each of the rest of them there. A flunky appears at her side and bows over a gleaming silver salva with neatly ironed clean five pound notes fanned out on it. She turns and says "And what are these ?" "Your winnings Ma'am" says the flunky who is only allowed to speak went spoken to directly.
You will note, of course, that she has not chipped in her stake. Some Brigadier A. Whole always does it for her. She hadn't a clue that the fivers were money!
Prince Charles is famous for trying to look 'the man of the people' by wandering into shops and buying loads of stuff. Then he turns to his security and says 'get that will you, I've no money with me !' What a fantasy World they live in!
The only reason to ring this back up again is a possible plot to get rid of them as far as I can see. !
