Even at the grand old age of 90, one is never too old for anything. This includes applying to university, as a higher education is something I have never achieved as Britain’s longest reigning monarch. In fact, I hold no formal qualifications at all, but I am determined not to let this put me off. So this autumn, I have decided to apply to several Russell Group institutions and see if they will accept me on to a part-time degree course in Politics (being the Queen, one is rather engaged with performing royal duties, and therefore unable to commit full-time).
