The Queen was spotted driving her Jaguar away from a polo match in Windsoryesterday without wearing a seatbelt.
She wasn’t on a public road when this photo was taken, but even if she was, there was no chance a PC would pull her over.
Although driving without a seatbelt is against the law, a reigning monarch cannot be found guilty of it.
Because British courts are established on her behalf, the Queen cannot be a defendant in one - as it would mean she was prosecuting herself.
The Queen is also the only person in the UK who is permitted to drive without a licence and is not obliged to have registration plates on her vehicles.
For ordinary motorists, the fine for not wearing a seatbelt is £60. It was doubled from£30 last year after the Home Office admitted the fine was not acting as enough of a deterrent.
