As much as it runs against our colonial grain to say this, there are some perks to being a monarch. Aside from having an entire kingdom crammed full of palaces and an army of staff just waiting to cater to your every whim, you’re evidently also free from prosecution under your country’s courts. At least United Kingdom. As it turns out, Queen Elizabeth II can’t cited traffic violations like, say, not wearing her seatbelt – something she was just caught doing. Why? Since courts conducted in her name, she would essentially trying herself. You can see where that might become bit sticky wicket.
Interestingly enough, Queen isn’t required to have a driver’s license or to register her vehicle, either. Considering that Her Majesty enjoys spending time behind wheel, those are both pretty good perks to have. Her custom 2001 Jaguar XJ8 recently cropped up for sale for close $100,000, though it appears she’s still driving Daimler Super 8.
