The Queen was photographed while she was returning home from church after the Sunday service.

British monarch may not have the power to rule its subjects anymore but surely royal family enjoys a great popularity. And it’s not just Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton or Prince Harry who create a social media frenzy. Only last week, an emergency meeting at the Buckingham Palace created a pandemonium and took social media by storm, asserting that the world is still interested in the Queen and her family.

After great suspense when it was known that the highly confidential meeting was just to announce Prince Philip’s retirement, Internet lost their mind — claiming how brilliantly Queen Elizabeth II trolled everyone. While her Star Wars avatar and memes are still doing rounds on the Internet, Netizens have been hooked to her new pictures. Yes, pictures of the 91-year-old queen behind the wheels, driving a green Jaguar are going viral, and people are going gaga over her panache!

Known for her love for cars and great automobile knowledge, the Queen was photographed driving through Windsor Park. The royal highness was on her way to her home from a Sunday morning service at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor Park with a security guard.

While the Queen is chauffeured during royal occasions and engagements, it must be noted she is a capable driver. It is said the monarch mastered her driving skills while serving as a mechanic in the Women’ s Auxillary Territorial Service during the World World War II. In fact, earlier on several occasions, she was spotted at the driver’s seat. One such famous instances was from last year when she drove in Balmoral, driving the Duchess of Cambridge to a picnic lunch with Prince William.

It’d be hilarious if the Queen was a terrible, brutally bad driver who just couldn’t be banned because she doesn’t need a driving licence https://t.co/XyO9acjujZ

@DailyMailUK I do like the fact that it is an older Jaguar. The new ones lack the style and grace of those older models.

@DailyMailUK @RoyalBiographer Good on her! She’s still got it.

While her husband has decided to take a break from public services at the age of 95, it seems there are so signs of retiring for the Queen, who is currently ruling the Internet with these pictures.
