The Duchess of Cambridge has given tourists the ultimate surprise when they caught a glimpse of the royal driving herself into the gates of Buckingham Palace.
A video captured by Instagram user melissagrflx and shared Dec. 13. shows the 36-year-old royal behind the wheel of a car as she pulls up to the iconic gates.
Wearing a cream top with long sleeves and her hair loose, she waved to the crowd as she made her way inside, trailed closely by another car.
“At Buckingham Palace. 🇬🇧” the royal fan captioned her post, which included the video of Kate among her own shots in front of the Queen’s official London residence. “When you’re so lucky and get a shot of Kate Middleton right when she gets to the Palace.”
It’s common for the mother-of-three to be chauffeured by a driver, she and other members of the royal family often get behind the wheel themselves.
Queen Elizabeth often takes the driver’s seat, including when Kate’s family visited Balmoral. And after presenting Prince George to the world, Prince William drove his wife and new son home from the hospital — with thousands gathered on the streets to watch them go.
