London: From horse-drawn buggies to aircraft, the Buckingham Palace will soon have it all — the British Queen is shopping around for a private jet.
Buckingham Palace is “in charge of procurement” of the aircraft and drawing up its own specifications for the interior, an unnamed British government source was quoted by The Sunday Times as saying.
The interior is expected to include a bar, catering facilities, in-flight entertainment systems, as well as up to 12 seats to accommodate courtiers, officials and the Queen.
Apart from the Queen, senior members of the British Royal Family will also be able to use the aircraft, including Prince William, the second-in-line to the throne, who recently got his pilot’s licence. The plane will be used for internal flights and short trips abroad. — PTI
