Queen Bees

Queen Bees
Nickname for the vehicles that transport the Queen of England’s personal belongings from p(a)lace to p(a)lace.

A Daily Mail article on the trials and tribulations of a Royal Christmas noted, in passing:

The Army, using unmarked lorries known as the “Queen Bees,” transports the Queen’s effects, from shoes and clothes to government papers and computers that ensure that, wherever she is, she remains fully in touch with affairs of state.
