Just a few days after the separation from life of Prince Philip, with whom she lived 73 years of marriage, the Queen of England celebrated her 95th birthday, but, of course, in an unusual situation.

Being the queen of a country not only has the share of responsibility to the country and the people, but there are also many positive aspects or privileges that only a queen can have.
Here are 9 privileges that the Queen of England enjoys:
