The Official Useless Information Society brings you another essential compendium of everything you never needed but always wanted to know about the royals, such as: the popular misconception that the royal family cannot vote in political elections; the Queen learnt to drive in 1945 when she joined the wartime army but has never held a driving licence; on the Duke of Edinburgh’s birthday, a Royal gun salute is fired, and the Union flag is flown on government buildings from 8am until sunset, and Prince Harry has two secretaries to handle his fan mail. Hopefuls should be made aware that no royal contender may be adopted, divorced, Catholic or born of unmarried parents. In Tudor times Catholics were forbidden from living within 10 miles of the throne.
“Although the title title calls it “useless information”, I found the contents to be very useful and interesting…I would definitely recommend it.”
