Royal Facts

Her Majesty The Queen celebrates her eighty-second birthday today.
The Queen is Head of State of the UK and is still the sovereign of other fifteen countries, including Canada and Australia.
She is the fortieth monarch since William I (William the Conqueror), and also the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Did you know that Queen Elizabeth is the only one in Britain who's allowed to drive without a driving licence? She never went trough a driving exam, but she learnt to drive in 1945, when she joined the Army.
Happy Birthday Queen!
