The Queen Elizabeth Bus Ride To Protest Fuel Price Hoax!

Spread the love

On Facebook, there is a new claim that Queen Elizabeth took a bus for 2 days “as a sign of protest against the price of fuel“, and on the third day, “the price of fuel dropped by 20%“.

It’s now being shared as an example of a “good monarch“, or evidence that “fuel prices are way too high“, depending on one’s viewpoint.

That is a picture of Queen Elizabeth alighting a bus with the Duke of Edinburgh, isn’t it? So it must be true… Right???

 

Yes, Queen Elizabeth Took A Bus But…

It didn’t happen recently, and it had nothing to do with fuel prices. That was a picture of Queen Elizabeth II alighting from one of Cambridge’s new guided buses on the 23rd of May, 2013.

Needless to say, fuel prices did not drop in Britain after that bus ride…

This bus ride was actually a special service (note the busway special display at the side of the bus) that took her from the station to the new £212 million Laboratory of Molecular Biology at the Medical Research Council, to officiate its opening.

Queen Elizabeth Did Not Take The Bus To Protest Anything…

Don’t believe us? Here are more pictures showing her journey from the guided bus station to the Laboratory of Molecular Biology.

The driver for this momentous occasion was Mick Capper, who described the experience as “the climax of my career“. He said, “I don’t think it gets any better than driving the Queen“.
