Let’s talk about the perks of being a member of the royal family. Recently, writers over at Cosmopolitan uncovered a fascinating rule that grants Queen Elizabeth a unique privilege: she can never be arrested. Why? It's all thanks to something called "Sovereign Immunity." Imagine that—no speeding tickets, no legal trouble, ever! Of course, we all hope she stays on the right side of the law, right?
According to the royal family’s official website, "Although civil and criminal proceedings cannot be taken against the Sovereign as a person under UK law, The Queen is careful to ensure that all her activities in her personal capacity are carried out in strict accordance with the law." In other words, Queen Elizabeth may be above the law, but she takes her responsibilities seriously. It’s a balance of power and responsibility that’s been upheld for centuries.

Sovereign Immunity: What Does It Mean for the Royal Family?
Now, here’s where things get even more interesting. Sovereign Immunity isn’t just for the Queen—it extends to her family, too, but with some limits. Let’s break it down. While Queen Elizabeth herself is untouchable by the law, that doesn’t mean Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Prince William, or Prince Harry are completely off the hook. According to Halsbury’s Laws of England, "Members of the royal household can’t be arrested in civil proceedings, arrests can’t happen in the monarch’s presence, and arrests can’t take place anywhere near a palace." So, while they have some protections, they’re not totally exempt from the law. Fascinating, right?
When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in May, she stepped into a world of privileges that most of us can only dream of. One of the coolest perks? The money she might inherit from Queen Elizabeth. Reports suggest that the Queen, now 92, has grown so fond of Meghan, 37, that she plans to leave her a substantial sum of cash after her passing. But here’s the twist—this decision hasn’t exactly thrilled everyone in the family. Apparently, Prince Charles, the Queen’s eldest son, isn’t too happy about it.
