Princess Madeleine was stopped by police as she glided past the queues and drove in the bus lane in central Stockholm yesterday.
She was released first off because it was unclear whether she had immunity from prosecution or a special permit - which she has not.
The King may violate the rules at any time - and still escape prosecution and punishment.
It is enshrined in the Constitution, one of Sweden's four constitutions.
Police had yesterday a check at Kungsträdgårdsgatan running between Hamngatan and the Palace. After a while appeared a black Volvo XC 60 in the bus lane, towards the Palace. Behind the wheel sat a person who did not have to show identification cards to show who she was - Princess Madeleine.
- I can certify that she was stopped in traffic control we had, which focused on collectively lanes, says Lars Lindholm.
According to Aftonbladet data Princess Madeleine then be showed a piece of paper and claimed that she had immunity from prosecution.
- I can not answer that, but the police officer who stopped her felt uncertainty about these immunity rules, if they were for the whole royal family. Or if there could be any exception rule for the Court's cars. And now we have checked it, says Lars Lindholm. Immunity rules apply only head of state, not her. And any exclusion rule, we have not found. This means that we will write a report.
Madeleine gets a traffic fine of SEK 1000.
