The Duchess of Edinburgh had Prince Edward and Lady Louise laughing this weekend when she took part in an unusual challenge while driving a carriage.
Sophie, 59, was spotted taking part in the Sandringham Driving Horse Trials on Saturday as her husband and daughter looked on.
During the event, the royal had to hold a wine glass filled with sparkling water between her teeth while driving.
The Duchess was then supposed to place the glass in the next place, but she failed.
As she attempted to reverse, Prince Edward, 60, and Lady Louise, 20, were seen laughing hysterically from the side of the road.
She demonstrated her skills as she picked up the wine glass filled with sparkling water from the stand, holding it between her teeth as she drove.
The Duke of Edinburgh was seen with a big smile on his face and captured the fun moment on his phone.

Sophie looked chic in a navy velvet jacket by Laurie & Jules, a sapphire blue net hat by Jane Taylor London, a long white checked skirt and brown boots.
Sophie’s involvement in the competition comes after she accepted an invitation to become chair of the Sandringham Driving Trials.
It has a long-standing relationship with the royal family and was founded and chaired from the beginning by the late Prince Philip.
Sandringham Horse Driving Trials said they were “deeply grateful” that the Duchess had taken on the role.
In a statement, a spokesperson said: “The Duchess’ acceptance marks a continuation of the Royal Family’s esteemed association with Sandringham Horse Driving Trials, and we look forward to a long-standing relationship with Her Royal Highness.”
Prince Edward was seen protecting himself from the sun with a straw hat and sporting a relaxed look consisting of a simple white polo shirt and loose brown trousers.
Meanwhile, Lady Louise looked chic in an oversized navy polo shirt which she tucked into camel-coloured trousers, showing off her sophisticated figure.

The family was joined by Lady Louise’s friend Felix da Silva-Clamp (pictured right).
The University of St Andrews student paired the simple look with brown leather Chelsea boots and a bright blue belt to complete the look.
She wore her wavy blonde hair up in a sleek messy ponytail and opted for a natural makeup look today.
She made an impressive debut and managed to take home a silver medal in the three-day competition. It is believed that her grandfather, Prince Philip, encouraged her to take up the sport.
The family was joined by Lady Louise’s friend Felix da Silva-Clamp, with whom she appears to have formed a strong bond as they both study at the same university in Scotland.
Felix was driven to the event by the Duchess of Edinburgh and the pair were seen chatting away as they watched the races.
