Queen Elizabeth - The Feminist - An interesting fact.

in life •  7 years ago 

An interesting fact I learnt recently about Queen Elizabeth.

When the Saudi King visited Balmoral, a massive royal estate in Scotland and got offered a tour, Queen Elizabeth jumped into the driving seat, turned on the ignition and drove the King.

Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia at this time ( or even now ) and King Abdullah was of course, not used to being driven by a woman.

Queen Elizabeth was a wartime driver so his nervousness was only increased as she accelerated her Land Rover along the narrow Scottish roads.

The King, through his interpreter was asking the Queen repeatedly to slow down but she did not.
