[size=18pt]1. She doesn't need a passport to travel[/size]  [size=13pt]All passports in Britain are technically issued in the Queen's name, her madge doesn't need one to travel herself. "As a British passport is issued in the name of Her Majesty, it is unnecessary for The Queen to possess one," according to royal.gov.uk. "All other members of the Royal Family, including The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales, have passports."[/size] [size=18pt]2. She knows how to fire a gun[/size]  [size=13pt]This photo was snapped during a royal visit to Surrey's National Shooting Centre. The Queen couldn't resist some target practice when she was shown this L85 battle rifle.[/size] [size=18pt]3. She served during World War II[/size]  [size=13pt]The Queen is the only living head of state in the world to have served during World War II and she was the only female member of the British royal family to do so. She joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service when she was 18 and learned how to drive a military truck, during which time she also acquired some serious engine-fixing skills (which leads to the next fact).[/size] [size=18pt]4. She's a trained mechanic[/size] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2grMaRttws [size=18pt]5. She has two birthdays[/size]  [size=13pt]The Queen doesn't just celebrate one birthday a year like regular folk, oh no; as well as probably getting better presents than you (she got her first corgi, Susan, for her 18th), she also gets twice as many birthdays. She was actually born on April 21, but her "official" birthday is held in early June on a Saturday, during which she hits the town for the Trooping the Colour parade.[/size] [size=18pt]6. She was sending emails before the internet[/size]  The Queen sent her first email from an Army base back in 1976 [size=18pt]7. She's not averse to the occasional photobomb[/size]  [size=13pt]During the Australian Commonwealth Games, hockey player Jayde Taylor tweeted one of the most epic selfies of all time, which featured a grinning and slightly blurred Queen Elizabeth in the background, peering into the lens.[/size] [size=18pt]8. She's starred alongside James Bond[/size] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW5abat5NEU [size=13pt]The clip above was filmed as part of the opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympic Games, which saw Daniel Craig escorting Her Majesty out of Buckingham Palace and into a helicopter, before the pair made a grand entrance by skydiving into the Olympic Stadium (the Queen may have used a stunt double for that last bit, but given her proven track record in badassery it's impossible to be sure)[/size]. [size=18pt]9. Celebrities queue up to hang out with her[/size]  Source: [size=13pt]Mashable[/size] |
