Here are some of the most bizarre and interesting facts about passports from Britain.Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was once offered a passport with the number 007, the code number for fictional special agent（特工） James Bond. However, she turned it down. The passport with 007 now belongs to Geoffery Howe, a member in Thatchers government.Everyone needs a passport to travel around the world, but one person doesnt. Although she may not travel abroad as much as she used to, Queen Elizabeth II has traveled around the world all without a passport. According to the U.K., it is unnecessary for the queen to have one because British passport is issued（颁发） in the name of Her Majesty. However, it doesnt mean that the entire British royal family doesnt need passports. All the other members, including Prince Philip and Prince Charles, all have passports.The British passport had a very long history. The oldest passport still in existence in Britain dates back to June 18, 1641. And there is the signature of Charles I on it.In addition, the British passport is one of the most powerful passports in the world. Anyone with a British passport can travel 174 countries without a visa（签证）. It is as powerful as passports from Finland, Germany, Sweden and the U.S.A.
