Also, will Prince Charles have a licence when he becomes monarch?

As part of the royal prerogative, the Queen does not require a driving licence.
She learned to drive aged 19 in 1945 in the army.
For those interested, here are a myriad interesting facts about the Queen:

As for Prince Charles, I think he probably already has one. When/if he becomes King, it will be as above.

I would say no because I saw a show about Prince William on BBC the other day and he wanted to get his diverse license but he had to ask his grandmother, the Queen. She wanted to know why he needed them when he had a driver to take him where ever he wanted. It goes the say for Prince Charles because he said basically the same to Prince William.

They are all having licence to drive. Prince 'William has one too He is driving a VW Pasat.
Also the queen occassionally when not on duty enjoys a fairy tale ride.

Yes she does. And she drives a Range Rover. Charles has an Aston Martin

I doubt they need it. The queen has her own personal driver, and Charles usually prefers horses than cars...

Sybaris (above) is right.
Not only did the Queen learn to drive, she learned atuo mechanics as her contribution to the war effort.
