Ryven 07/01/23 8:18:26 AM #1:	https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/other/30-things-king-charles-can-do-that-you-can-t Drive a car without a license Usually, the King is chauffeured to engagements, but occasionally he likes to get behind the wheel. And he can do so without a driver's license. Avoid getting arrested The King doesn't ever have to worry about getting locked up. He has sovereign immunity, and therefore can never be prosecuted. Travel internationally without a passport Since all British passports are issued in the name of the King himself, he isn't required to have one. However, other members of the royal family aren't granted this right. Drive without a license plate You can easily spot a vehicle belonging to the King. It will be the only car on the road without a license plate, and probably there will also be police escorts nearby. Own unclaimed swans in the UK Dating back to the 12th century, the monarch is technically the owner of any and all unclaimed swans swimming in open waters in the UK. Skip paying taxes As a sovereign, the King is exempt from paying taxes. However, he followed his mother lead and decided to voluntarily pay taxes on income, assets, and gains that aren't used for official royal purposes. Decide what jewelry is loaned out For formal occasions, such as state dinners and royal weddings, the King decides which jewels and tiaras from the late Queen's collection can be loaned to family members. Decide when dinner ends According to royal etiquette, when the King is done with his dinner, the meal is officially over. So you better eat quickly at Buckingham Palace! Have a private ATM Imagine never having to rush to an ATM before closing time... That's the case for the King, as he has a private ATM in the basement of Buckingham Palace. Provided by the British bank, Coutts, it's only available to the royal family. Ignore speed limits The Road Traffic Regulation Act allows emergency service vehicles to break speed limits, so when the King is escorted by police officers, she's granted the same right. Own all the dolphins in the UK Due to a rule that goes back to the 14th century, the King technically owns all the dolphins, whales, sturgeons, and porpoises in the waters around the UK. --- 'We're not gonna make it, are we?
