September 17, 200718 yr The Queen stuns primary school by winning prize in its raffle - £10 worth of toiletries Last updated at 10:01am on 17th September 2007 Comments The Queen has shocked staff at a primary school after snapping up a ticket for their raffle - and winning a prize of toiletries. Shocked organisers of the raffle could hardly believe it when they handed over a prize of two bars of soap and bath oil to her majesty. Staff at Fox Primary School in Notting Hill, West London, at first thought it was a joke and binned the ticket. Scroll down for more... Toilet humour: School staff at first thought the Queen's £10 winning ticket for soap and bath oil was a prank But it was later revealed a courtier at Buckingham Palace has her children at the school and the Queen had snapped up some tickets. And the Queen - worth around £280million - is now the proud owner of the £10 prize. According to The Sun, a source at Buckingham Palace said: "This is not the first time The Queen has taken part in raffles. Like most people she thinks they are a bit of fun and a great way to raise money. "I have no idea whether she has ever been lucky enough to win a prize before but the fact that she has won bath oil is very amusing. "She loves to relax in the bath and I am sure she will be looking forward to getting her hands on her windfall." The Queen is known for her love of a flutter and is a big fan of the horses. Perhaps more surprisingly, it has been revealed that her majesty is also an Arsenal fan. The Queen Mother was thought to be a fan and also Prince Harry is known to like the Gunners. The revelation came after her majesty met the Arsenal team and manager Arsene Wenger at a reception in Buckingham Palace in February.
