Bag a royal on Balmoral £120 safari!

THe Prince of Wales favours aston martins, while the Duke of edinburgh derived pleasure from his London taxi which he reluctantly surrendered only last year.

But the Queen has a soft spot for Land Rovers, especially over Balmoral’s 50,000 acres. Now her subjects can experience the same off-road stimulation, courtesy of the introduction in april of Land Rover ‘treks’ at the estate.

Costing £120, the threehour treks will allow ‘four stopping points for photographs’. Those hoping to snap Hm will need to keep their wits about them, according to former SNP leader alex Salmond.

He recalled being driven through Balmoral ‘at a very substantial speed in a Land Rover by Her majesty’.

This did not, added Salmond, preclude her from conversation. ‘She turned to me and said: “First minister, you have the worst writing of any of my ministers.” ’
