The Queen reported to police for not wearing a seatbelt
Someone dialled 999 as the monarch travelled to the Opening of Parliament
The Queen was reported to the police for not wearing a seatbelt as she travelled to the State Opening of Parliament in her official car last month. West Yorkshire Police said they had received a 999 call from a member of the public who spotted that the Queen was not strapped in as she was driven through London with her son, Prince Charles. They confirmed the news in a tweet which read: “999 call received reporting that the Queen isn’t wearing a seatbelt #not999 #notevenwestyorkshire.”
Under UK law, it is compulsory to wear a seatbelt if one is fitted, but the Queen is immune from any civil or criminal proceedings. A statement on the British Monarchy website states: “The Queen is careful to ensure that all her activities in her personal capacity are carried out in strict accordance with the law.”
