Driving cars for a living is just a regular job, fellows, even if you chauffeur royal members at the Buckingham Palace instead of people that are late for work. Sure, you’ll be working on a different schedule than the average 9 to 5 program and weekends will most likely be quite busy. But think of it this way - you’ll make more than $37,000 (£24,000) a year with meals provided. Yep, we’re serious. UK’s Buckingham Palace is looking for a new member, we mean employee of course. The contract is permanent and you’ll be working for Lord Chamberlain’s Office in London. Sure, we’re looking at a live-in position which means you basically stay there most of your time, but there is going to be some salary adjustment for that. The job is permanent and implies you stay busy 48 hours per week, over five days, Monday to Sunday. The Royal Mews is the employer and they supply all coaches and cars for State and official occasions. This is also the department which is responsible for caring for and training Her Majesty’s carriage horses, maintaining the coaches and keeping all working vehicles in outstanding condition. Just in case you never heard of it. Obviously, the new chauffeur will join a big crew of people who drive members of the Royal Family, Household officials, guests and official visitors. As to what the future employee needs to have there are a couple of other requirements other than a UK driver’s license and professional driving experience. The person looking forward to this job has to be a good team player with strong attention to detail and with effective organizational and administrative skills. Since the job means you move at your work place, according to the announcement, the future employee will also be provided with accommodation. The Royal fleet
In case you are wondering what sort of cars you’ll be most likely be driving, let us remind you most of the Royal fleet is made of Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, Jaguars and Daimlers.

There are also some old models that join UK’s Royal fleet. One worth mentioning would be a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI which was presented to The Queen in 1978 for her Silver Jubilee by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. The other is the oldest car in the fleet is the Phantom IV, built in 1950, boasting with a 5.76-liter with a straight-eight engine and a Muliner body.
