I'm not sure what their current car is but the Earl and Countess of Wessex seem to like Rovers.

Default Prince Andrew driving Princess Beatrice

I've never posted a picture here before, not sure if this is correct. The picture is from Hello Magazine.

I guess its a sign of the times that neither Wills nor Harry drive flashy or conspicous sports cars. Wills drives an Audi S4 (which is a very fast A4), and Harry drives an Audi A3. This is quite unlike the previous generation of British royals or other European royals of Wills and Harry's generation. If I am not mistaken, Charles received an Aston DB5 from his parents on his 21st birthday (he still has the car and uses it occassionally around Highgrove in the summer months), and we have a relatively recent picture above of Andrew is an Aston Martin DB7. Even parsimonous Anne had a sporty little convertible in her younger days.

Is it that the lefties have scared the boys into not driving anything flash, or is it that the boys are not into fast cars (quite hard to believe!!)? Come on guys, get something interesting. Wills in an Aston V8 or an Audi R8 would be great!

I think Sophie used Rovers when she was still working and Rover was a client of hers. They tend to be seen in a Range Rover these days

Yes, I remember hearing when Prince William of Britain got his license he was instructed in defensive driving.
