Meghan Markle has been living in the UK for almost two years. The Duchess of Sussex is likely ingratiating herself with British life
She has rented a Cotswolds cottage with Prince Harry and is moving to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor
But can Meghan legally drive in the UK? According to reports Meghan Markle had a US driver's license, although she drove and automatic car on the right side of the road
It was claimed that Prince Harry was taking on the job of teaching Meghan how to drive on the left
Surely a risky undertaking for the prince, as clashes over driving often cause argument among the tightest of couples
Meghan has lived in the UK for over a year, is she legally allowed to drive? Can Meghan use her US license in the UK or does she need a new one? The government states that if you are a residing in the US you may use a US driver's license for the first 12 months
However, after this new residents will need to apply for a provisional license. This means Meghan will have to pass her theory and practical driving tests to drive in the UK
It is not know whether Meghan has taken steps to get a UK license, she has been quite busy since she moved to the UK, organising a wedding and then falling pregnant
However, the Duchess of Sussex might find it helpful to drive when her baby is born in the spring
Luckily for Meghan she will have lots of chance to practise on the huge expanse of land the royals own
It is legal to drive without a license on private property, with the owners permission, provided you are driving your own car
