Queen Elizabeth has acquired an eco-friendly van to transport plants and machinery.
The 91-year-old monarch has added to her fleet of electric vehicles with a Nissan van and as a result she now requires another charging point on the grounds of Buckingham Palace to ensure the motor doesn’t run out of juice.
A spokeswoman said: "The gardening team will shortly replace their existing vehicle with an electric van.
"An application has therefore been made to introduce a charge point in the Long Shed at the back of Buckingham Palace.
"This vehicle will be used for transporting machinery, plants and personnel."
Elizabeth is also the proud owner of three other green cars, a Renault Twizy – gifted to her in 2012 – a BMW i3 and a hybrid 7-Series.
The spokeswoman added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The Royal Household has had two fully electric cars, and one hybrid, for official use by the Royal Mews for several years.
"There are two existing dedicated charging units for these vehicles, at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle."
Despite reducing her royal duties, the queen was spotted driving herself home from church on Sunday (15.10.17).
The monarch looked quite content as she motored her way back home to Windsor following a recent three-month stint at her Scottish residence, Balmoral.
Her security guard was seen sitting in the passenger seat.
