That’s why Joe Biden was allowed to drive in The Beast.

For British security authorities, the Queen’s funeral is the biggest challenge in its history. “Think of the London Marathon, the Carnival, the past royal weddings and the Olympics – all at once,” said London Mayor Sadiq Khan. The British Crown invited more than 500 international guests from countries and dignitaries to attend the grand event.

For example, in this video, the presidents of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Jamaica arrive at Westminster Abbey:

The responsible metropolitan police left open which state guests were brought to Westminster Abbey, but apparently there were other exceptions besides the US president and his wife. According to the “Daily Mail”, Israeli President Isaac Herzog, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Japanese Emperor Naruhito were also allowed to drive in their personal bodies due to special security requirements.

“Everything will be negotiated in advance,” the Queen’s former bodyguard Simon Morgan told CNN. Morgan believes that British security authorities may have received guests from a foreign country in some cases. In other cases, there shouldn’t even be facilities due to understaffing: “That’s why some guests were probably huddled together for logistical reasons,” says Morgan, who was responsible for protecting the Queen and new King Charles III between 2007 and 2013. He was in charge. Incidentally, it was up to the royal family to decide who was invited to the Queen’s funeral.
