1. The queen never wears new shoes
The queen always wears handmade black patent leather shoes but she never wears shoes just after buying them since the leather in the new shoes is quite hard she needs them to be comfortable so she has employees whose job is to wear her new shoes and ensure they are comfortable enough such employees always have to wear socks and walk on the red carpet while wearing the queen's new shoes

Taking a selfie either solo or with anyone else is against the royal protocol as a part of her royal etiquette the queen also cannot sign autographs for anyone being the 21st century equivalent of an autograph the selfie is forbidden
3. She never went to school
But that does not mean she is not educated she received the best tutors in the country and is quite educated throughout her early life she received an exclusive and private education at home
4. She has never voted
The queen has the power and the right to vote but she is expected to remain politically neutral and that means no voting being the reigning monarch she always stays away from the voting systems
5. She has never taken a driving test
The queen can drive very well and is also quite fond of driving but she never had to take or pass a driving test she loves to drive her famous range rover but needs no driving license to do it once she drove Saudi Arabia's Prince Abdullah around in one of her country estates
