The Queen travels around Chelsea Flower Show in a buggy amid 'mobility issues'
The Queen attended the Chelsea Flower Show in style and comfort as she used a luxury buggy to get around amid her ongoing health struggles.
- The Queen delighted attendees and royal fans as she made a surprise appearance at the preview of the Chelsea Flower Show.
- To ensure her comfort, the Queen toured the show in a £62,000 buggy, marking the first time she’s been seen using one.
- This royal news comes after the Queen’s love for Kate Middleton for adoring the ‘real’ Prince William was revealed.
The Queen attended the royal preview of the Chelsea Flower Show, much to the delight of royal fans.
Her Majesty wore a lovely bright pink coat and looked very on theme with a floral dress and broach. She toured around the iconic show in style, using for the first time in public, a luxury buggy.
The four-wheeled buggy reportedly cost £62,000 and offered the Queen relief amid her ongoing ‘episodic mobility issues’ that have left her using a wheelchair ‘for much of the time’.
Her appearance at the show was uncertain as the monarch has been forced to cancel numerous engagements, including the latest disappointing news that she will miss the Jubilee’s Trooping of the Colours. This will mark the first time she’s missed it in 70 years, she will also sadly miss the reaming Buckingham Palace garden parties.
Buckingham Palace released a brief statement regarding the Queen’s new wheels saying, “Adjustments have been made for the Queen’s comfort.”
A video of the Queen, accompanied by her son Prince Edward and Sophies Wessex, traveling around the show was shared on Instagram, where fans were quick to praise her buggy.
