Royal<\/a> cars are always equipped with two crucial things, but a major safety feature is sometimes missing, according to a leading Royal biographer. The royals typically travel in style, riding in Jaguars and Aston Martins to Range Rovers and Bentleys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, no matter what they drive, Royal expert Dickie Arbiter stressed two things are always present: a set of blue lights and a protection officer sitting alongside them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He told Express.co.uk: \u201cThey\u2019ve always got security with them. Them’s the rules. The protection officer will always be armed. It will have blue lights fitted behind the radiator grille. It probably won\u2019t have radio comms because the protection officer has a radio.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, one major security feature the public would expect to be equipped on all Royal models is missing. Although many of the Royal Family\u2019s official state vehicles are equipped with additional armour, bulletproof glass and bomb-proof plating, Dickie suggested this is not rolled out on every single model used by members of the family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dickie told Express.co.uk: \u201cIf you get bulletproof, you\u2019re getting a very, very heavy car. They can hardly move, they are very heavy and they are built in such a way that you can\u2019t open the windows anyway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhen Charles was first diagnosed with cancer, he wasn’t allowed to go out and about, but he could carry on working at Buckingham Palace, and he drove every day from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace, had the windows down so people could see him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
