The Queen has reportedly had a £20,000 “wheelchair-friendly” lift fitted at her cottage in Balmoral to help her upstairs, according to reports. The monarch, 95, is expected to spend more time at the Scottish estate as she plans a future with fewer official royal engagements.
The Times reports that the seven-bedroom Craigowan Lodge in the Scottish Highlands has been fitted with the lift and extra security including a stronger gate, a more modern intercom system and extra CCTV cameras.
The lift is understood to be a Stiltz Trio, which can fit up to three adults. The plans have been sent to the local council for approval, The Times said.
