I was on LBC radio yesterday, James Obriens' mystery hour.

Apparently not !

The Queen does not have a passport.

From the Royal Family’s website: "As a British passport is issued in the name of Her Majesty, it is unnecessary for The Queen to possess one". It adds that all other members of the royal family, including The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales, do have passports.
