Queen Elizabeth II has had a "wheelchair-friendly" lift installed at Balmoral.
The 95-year-old monarch has kitted out her favourite cottage at her Scottish estate - Craigowan Lodge - with a more accessible lift after she is believed to be suffering from mobility issues.
The lift - which has the capacity for three adults or one wheelchair user - is believed to have cost £20,000 (NZ$38,000) to fit and was put there to make it easier for Her Majesty to retire to bed.
An anonymous royal source told the Sun newspaper: "For many years we have thought it would be the perfect place for the Queen to spend more time when she's older. It's one of her favourite places in the country.
