"999 call received reporting that the Queen isn't wearing a seatbelt," police said.
Police noted the event was not even in Yorkshire, but rather at the Palace of Westminster.
The monarch was at the palace to deliver the Queen's speech before the resident spotted her without her seatbelt, as she was exiting the ceremony.
Usually traveling in a vehicle without a seatbelt would result in a fine, but the Queen is immune from prosecution and police warned the 999 number is not meant to be used as a joke.
"I cannot stress enough that the 999 number is for emergencies only," Tom Donohoe of West Yorkshire Police told the Telegraph.
