RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Being queen apparently doesn't exempt one from being what we all are at times, an impatient driver. Queen Elizabeth was driving to church through the park leading out of Windsor Castle, and she just couldn't pause for a family out for a Sunday stroll blocking her way.
