Rides a royally fitted train that cost millions. Can't drive up in her own vehicle, too dangerous. I wouldn't want her life, no, I wouldn't. |

But, the last time I saw her, she was riding in a very nice burgundy Rolls-Royce Phantom V with her Lady in Waiting next to her. |

Later on, her husband produced the first UK TV commercial; for Gibbs toothpaste. Indeed, her husband was one of the very first people ever to appear on a UK TV, as a young reporter for The Times, and was sent off to do a story on this new invention and got a demonstration of it too. |
