The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Charles always arrive in style!
At the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony on Thursday night, the royal heir made quite a debut when he rolled his vintage Aston Martin onto the arena. The ride is environmentally friendly because it is run on bioethanol made from wine and cheese waste.
The car was purchased by Prince, a longtime supporter of sustainable living, in 1970, and later converted to run on biofuels utilising ethanol made from wine unfit for human consumption and cheese-making whey. As a result of the gasoline, David Snowdon, the son of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon, supposedly made the following corny jokingly said, “How does Prince Charles drive his Aston Martin? Caerphilly.”
Still getting better with age… 🚙

The Aston Martin DB6 automobile made another notable appearance at a royal wedding in 2011 when Prince William, the son of Charles, took his bride Kate Middleton there.
At the Commonwealth Games’ ceremonial opening, which brings together the Commonwealth nations for a multisport competition, Prince Charles, 73, and Camilla, 75, were there. The opening ceremony of the games this year, which are being held in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom, had a theme of cars and featured a performance by the region’s pop band Duran Duran.
