King Charles III enjoys a set of privileges specific to his position as the King of Britain, most notably the fact that he is not required to have a passport or a driver's licence, in addition to owning all the swans and sturgeon fish in the United Kingdom.

The king can travel without holding official papers.

Unlike other members of the royal family, he does not need a passport as this document is issued in his name.

The British king benefits from a special privilege in the matter of driving, because he is the only British citizen exempt from the obligation to possess a driver's license.

The king must adhere to serious political neutrality, as he cannot vote in any elections, nor can he run for any of the elections.

The King is responsible for opening parliamentary sessions, in addition to approving parliamentary legislation and holding regular sessions with the Prime Minister.

Queen Elizabeth II, mother of King Charles III, celebrated her birthday twice during the year, the first on April 21 in a private celebration with members of the royal family, and the second in official celebrations usually organized on the second Saturday of every June, a date chosen because the weather is usually moderate in it.

The official website of the royal family indicates that celebrations on the occasion of the birthdays of rulers are often organized on a different day from the day of their actual birth, especially when the monarch was born outside the summer, such as Prince Charles, whose date of birth dates back to November 14, 1948.

And the rule of the British monarch is not limited to the citizens of the United Kingdom only.

For decades, swans swimming in the country's seas have been the property of the British monarch.

An accurate count of the numbers of these animals is carried out annually in the River Thames, a tradition that has now become part of conservation measures.

This royal privilege also applies to sturgeon fish, dolphins and whales in the waters around the United Kingdom.

Each poet whose works are of "national importance" has the opportunity to organize poetry for the king, who gives this honorary position every 10 years to one of the poets.

The brands that are chosen to supply the king with their products and as a result witness a rise in their sales, have the privilege of displaying the royal emblem on their products.

Among the most prominent of these goods are French champagne, and "Schweppes" soft drinks, as well as handicrafts made by small British craftsmen.

Among the companies benefiting from this royal mandate are the fashion house "Burberry", the "Jaguar" and "Land Rover" brands of vehicles, as well as the "Samsung" electronics company.
