Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, was the first member of the Royal family to own a car. He had his first drive in a “horseless carriage” – a Daimler – on a private road in February 1896, aged 55. In 1898, while some were still branding the new invention “dirty” and “evil”, he drove a vehicle for the first time on public roads. He bought his first car – again, a Daimler – in 1900. In 1905, by then Edward VII, he bought no fewer than seven Daimlers in a single year.
