The Monarch Does Not Have To Have A Driver’s License

Reason: All of the licenses in the UK are issued in their name already
Exception: None

As a king, King Charles III does not require a driver’s license. This also applied to Queen Elizabeth II. The monarch is not required to have a license in the UK because all licenses are already issued in the king or queen’s name. Technically, neither the King nor the Queen are required to undergo driving tests. They can drive about without a license, because what officer would stop the monarch to issue them a speeding ticket? However, this privilege is limited to the king and does not extend to any other members of the Royal Family.

Always Carry A Purse, Even An Empty One

Reason: It makes any outfit formal
Exception: If the situation practically prevents you from carrying one

Carrying a pocketbook lends a level of formality to any look, especially if it is designer. The Royal women usually carried a pocketbook for this reason, and the Queen was very strict about this regulation. The late Queen’s purses, which she frequently carried in a Launer bag, served as both a functional accessory and a means of surreptitiously communicating with attendants when she needed them to bail her out of a conversation. All she had to do was swap her purse to the other arm, and they’d arrive to save her.
