While getting her make-up done the reality TV star says to her make-up artist: “I ain’t being funny, but Dame Gemma has got a ring to it.”
She goes on to say: “And this year at Ascot I’m going to find King Charles because it’s what his mother would have wanted.”
It comes as the King’s Birthday Honours is officially announced tomorrow (Saturday) and David Beckham is set to be made a knight.
Gemma’s advert for Paddy Power Ascot Ladies’ Day was filmed last month (May) but an insider reveals she has had her eyes on a royal prize for a long time.
A source said: “Gemma is a huge royalist and would love to be recognised for her role in entertainment. She has already met King Charles and follows their activities keenly.
“The royals love Ascot so Gemma is hoping she can make a good impression on him when she is there.”
Gemma met Charles and Camilla in 2023 when she was invited to a party at Lancaster House because of her support for conservation charity the Elephant Family
Gemma’s fondness for horse racing began when she was guest of honour in Paddy Power’s box at Cheltenham races in March.
