Queen Camilla has been filmed taking a selfie with a colleague from the Cheltenham Festival today.
The royal, 76, attended the newly named Style Wednesday (formerly Ladies Day) without husband King Charles, who is undergoing cancer treatment.
A video of the event shows a woman speaking and talking to her, though it’s not clear what she’s saying.
With one hand on the queen’s coat, the woman pulls out a mobile phone, and the two ladies wait for her to take the snap before Camilla walks away.
The Queen was just one of the royals at the four-day horse racing festival today.

Princess Eugenie’s with her husband Jack Brookbank and Zara Tindall with her husband Mike Tindall also attended the event.
Camilla chose a structured jade green coat for the event, which she teamed with a gray furry hat and tall dark boots.
Attached to her coat she wore a very appropriate brooch – the Horseshoe Brooch.
Made in the shape of a horseshoe, it boasts three rubies and four sapphires. It also has diamonds which are said to spell the Japanese word ‘Minoru’.
Minoru, a thoroughbred horse, was loaned to Edward VII by his breeder Lord Wavertree.
The animal was one of King Edward VIl’s most successful thoroughbreds, with a number of wins on his record including the 2000 Guineas and The Derby.
He also won the Epsom Derby in 1909, making him a hugely celebrated animal and making King Edward VII the first reigning British monarch to win a Derby.
He was entered at stud in 1910 after running 13 and winning seven races in 1909. It is not known what happened to the horse after he was exported to Russia in the 1910s, disappearing during the 1917 revolution.

Day two of the prestigious four-day event is known to attract a host of royals and celebrities as they show off their sartorial prowess while enjoying a day out at the races in Gloucestershire.
A Cheltenham Racecourse spokesperson said: “This year we relaunched day two of the Festival as Style Wednesday to celebrate ‘fast horses, slow fashion’, encouraging racegoers to make more sustainable fashion choices, showcase their unique and personal style and share the stories behind their amazing outfits with friends, family and on social media.
“This includes repurposing outfits they already have in their wardrobes, buying timeless garments to wear again and again and also buying from retailers that specialize in pre-loved clothing.”
Commenting on the change, The Daily Mail’s Nadine Dorries said in her latest column: ‘I looked at the program and saw, without fanfare or warning, that Ladies Day at Cheltenham appears to have been downgraded to Style Wednesday.
‘I assume this is some sort of wakeful nod from the Jockey Club to the powerful trans lobby. If that is the case, the Jockey Club might want to consider who exactly should participate – and who it is they are now offending’.
