Does the Queen have to pay for car insurance?

Does the Queen have to pay for car insurance like rest of us women? I don’t know – does she know even? Does she have someone who sorts all these things out for her?

I can’t exactly imagine her sitting down at her computer and going through the various car insurance comparison websites – she is, after all, no ordinary woman driver.

One thing we can be sure of is that the Queen has had plenty of vehicles in her lifetime – expensive ones.

Now, as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations, we’re going to be allowed to see them. It should be pretty interesting, that’s if you can find the time to head to the Sussex Downs for summer's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

They’ll be plenty to see: limousines, working cars, personal cars, family cars, planes, horse-drawn vehicles, and even toy cars, presumably once the property of young William and Harry.

But does the Queen have to pay for car insurance? Does the Queen get to vote in a general election? Does the Queen have a passport? Does the Queen get a pension? Does she sign autographs? Does she cook her own meals?

I know the answers to none of these questions, but I’m going to work incredibly hard to get an MBE, if only so have the opportunity to ask. But even then, I still might not know.
