10 Misconceptions About the British Monarchy-- Part 2

5.  DRIVING ILLEGALLY WITHOUT A LICENSE--  During World War II, the then-princess Elizabeth joined the ATS, Auxiliary Territorial Service and learned how to repair cars and drive.  She has a license but never has to use it as she is driven everywhere.  She seldom, however, wears a seat belt.

4.  THE QUEEN RULES OVER US--  Since the Magna Carta in 1215, no king or queen has ruled over the United Kingdom or England.  They work with the government.

3.  THE QUEEN WEARS HER CROWN AT ALL TIMES--  She has only one crown and seldom wears it.

2.  "WE ARE NOT AMUSED"--  Queen Victoria set the trend for wearing white wedding dresses.  She most likely did not give that famous quote, probably one of her ladies-in-waiting.

1.  CHARLES ISN'T GOING TO BE KING--  Even though he's been preparing for it for 60 years.

Hey, Queen!  Click It or Ticket.  --Cooter
