Queen Elizabeth II

The British Royal Family has had its share of notable moments on the road. From presidential visits to weddings and luxury vehicles, the royals get behind the wheel just like anyone else — Queen Elizabeth II included. Now in her mid-90s, the Queen is known to drive a Jaguar and, seen here, has been photographed driving in 2019 and 2020.

Prince Philip

Prince Philip's driving, however, made headlines for the wrong reasons in recent years. Some questioned whether or not the Duke of Edinburgh, in his late 90s, should still be on the road. This 2018 photo shows Philip driving for one of the final few times, prior to a scary crash in 2019. He gave up his license shortly after the accident.

A few years before his crash, Prince Philip notably insisted on driving U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to lunch at Windsor Castle. The President rode shotgun while the Queen sat in the back with the First Lady.

For Prince William and Prince Harry, driving photos tend to capture the royals amid meaningful life moments. In this 2013 picture, the Duke of Cambridge drives home from the hospital with his wife, Duchess Kate, and newborn son Prince George. The photo came the day following the birth and was the first shot of the then family of three.

Like the Queen and Prince Philip, the Cambridge family (and Prince Harry while he lived in the UK) are often photographed driving themselves to the Queen's Christmas party and birthday lunch. Sometimes the royal brothers carpooled, but here a bespectacled Prince William drives only Kate Middleton in 2014.

Over the years, the British Royal Family has had its share of notable moments on the road. From presidential visits to weddings and crossovers with the world of luxury vehicles, the royals still get behind the wheel just like anyone else — Queen Elizabeth II included.

British Royal Family Driving Cars

Despite living lives of royalty, the British royals regularly choose to drive themselves, sometimes even insisting on doing so for major events. This has extended to the Queen and Prince Philip as they've entered their 90s, but the Duke of Edinburgh gave up his license after a scary crash in 2019.

But the younger royals such as Prince Harry and Prince William are still photographed behind the wheel from time to time — and both took memorable trips on their wedding days. The Queen and Prince Philip were both seen driving as recently as 2019, too.

This gallery highlights the best in royal car moments. Enjoy!
