What She Can Do. If the Queen pleases, she can ride in a horse carriage
down Rotten Row, where others can only ride horseback. Her picture will
appear on postage stamps, but she will not need them; her personal mail
is franked. She can drive as fast as she likes in a car which needs no
license number. She can tell her sister Margaret when she can marry,
and will surely advise her on whom to marry. She can confer Britain's
highest civilian decoration, the Order of Merit—one honor in which the
Sovereign retains freedom of choice.
