Default Our car is being used by the British royalty

Pregnant Catherine leaves hospital after acute morning sickness treatment - CNN.com

My wife was pleasantly surprised and proud she is riding the same car as the British royalty members. I told her how lucky we are to own such a car and enjoy it on an everyday basis.

Wow, royalty is broke!... I would expect a 2013 Rolls Royce being used by royalty. But regardless, the Jag is stunning and it's a great choice!

Jaguars are actually built in Britain. Are Rolls Royces and Bentleys any more?

Also (and I know I may be slightly biased) if you offered me the choice between a Rolls, a Bentley and a Jaguar, I'd take the Jaguar. I think the others are a bit vulgar.

How could the Queen Mom 'appoint' the new XJ? Didn't she kick it a long ago?

Without getting into politics much, it says that because it's a Monarchy over there. Everything legally belongs to the King and Queen. People in England might think they own this or that, but what they own is just the interest on whatever it is, from a car to a house or land. The Queen controls everything. Control here doesn't mean operational. It means legal. Same goes here in US, believe it or not. All you have is debtor-equity interest. Legal control is in the hands of the Monarchs, and "Britannia" is a hub of the Roman empire, Vatican. That's why it says that on those pages. It's all in Trusts, you are the grantor, the queen is the trustee... you guess who's the beneficiary.
