A chillax too far: 'Distraught' Dave and Sam Cameron left daughter Nancy, 8, behind in pub for 15 minutes after driving back to Chequers from lunchtime drinks
David Cameron mistakenly left his eight-year-old daughter in a pub by herself when he drove off without her, it was revealed last night.
The Prime Minister – who had been enjoying Sunday drinks with his family near Chequers – only realised his eldest daughter was missing when he arrived back at his official country residence.
The Camerons had been drinking at the Plough Inn, in Cadsden, Buckinghamshire, with their three children and two other families.
(David Cameron, pictured holding his daughter Nancy at a wedding in 2007, thought Samantha Cameron had all their children but she thought Nancy was with him.)
As they went to leave, Nancy went off to the toilet without telling them.
The Prime Minister was driven back to Chequers, which is two miles from the pub, with protection officers in one car, while Mrs Cameron drove their other children in another.
Mr Cameron presumed that Nancy was in the car with his wife, while she thought that their daughter had jumped in with the Prime Minister.
They later confirmed that Mrs Cameron returned to the pub to pick up Nancy.
‘Thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well,’ the spokesman said. ‘The Prime Minister went down straight away to get her.’
When Mr Cameron arrived back at the pub he found his daughter happily helping the pub staff. It is understood she had been left by herself for 15 minutes.
A Downing Street spokeswoman said today that the Camerons take full responsibility for looking after their children and were not blaming security officers for failing to ensure that Nancy was with the party before returning to Chequers.
