Camilla, Duchess of Cornwallis both a bargain shopper and a royal collector!
During a visit to the pre-Jubilee Big Lunch at Emmaus Mossley Homelessness Charity in Manchester on Tuesday, Camilla looked around the shop at the center — and spotted a commemorative mug celebratingQueen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee (marking 25 years on the throne) in 1977. The best part? The mug was priced at just under $2.
“I see you’ve got a nice jubilee mug. I am going to buy that! I have a whole collection, believe it or not,” she said, according toThe Telegraph.
Although Camilla didn’t elaborate on exactly what she collects, it appears that she has a knack for finding fun royal memorabilia and Jubilee souvenirs.

Unfortunately, Camilla didn’t have a chance to use her new item just yet.
“This always happens to me,” she quipped when she realized she had not sipped any tea during her chat with volunteers and team members.
“There’s a really nice teapot here for anyone who collects them,” she told onlookers. “I wish I had a bit more time here. It’s a great place to get presents if you have the time.”
