When you're a member of the royal family, there are definitely some "perks" that you get to take advantage of.
Never waiting in line, having a personal stylist, and apparently, being a royal can exempt you from wearing your seat belt, sometimes.

Never waiting in line, having a personal stylist, and apparently, being a royal can exempt you from wearing your seat belt, sometimes.
Have you ever noticed that in a lot of these photos, they typically aren't wearing their seat belt?
But as soon as it was brought to my attention, it's all I can focus on now.
I mean, we all know the importance of a seat belt, and how it can literally save your life in an accident, right?
HELLO! spoke to the former royal protection officer, who explained everything.
Sometimes, not wearing a seat belt is for their own safety — just in case they need to quickly escape in an emergency.
"In the threat and risk matrix it's a matter of looking at each individual situation to decide what is the best way of achieving what needs to be achieved. For example, considering that a quick entry or exit to a vehicle is easier when people aren't strapped into seatbelts," he explained.
He explained, "Protection is a very unique area of policing and there are a lot grey areas, but you are always judging each situation to weigh up the risks and threats with the outcomes you are trying to achieve."
For example, if a person is involved in a procession organized by the Crown, or if it's customarily held.
They're also exempt if the vechile doesn't have a seat belt to begin with. Say if it's a classic car, for example.
Based on paparazzi photos, Prince William and Kate tend to always buckle up when their kids in the car. It's important to set a good example!
Overall, let's make sure we wear our seat belts, it's the law!
