It has been her London home for nearly 90 years, but the Queen may have to move out of Buckingham Palace for a year under plans to carry out £150million-worth of urgent repairs.

女王在伦敦的白金汉宫已经住了近90年,但为了配合为期一年、耗资1.5亿英镑的紧急翻新工程,女王可能将被迫搬家。 

 
If she leaves, it will be the first time a monarch1 has been forced out since Queen Victoria designated it as an official residence in 1837.
 
Surveyors called in to assess the royal residence say it needs a major top-to-toe overhaul2 after years of neglect.
 
They have suggested that the cheapest option would be to move out the sovereign and all her 426 staff in one go to so all the work can be done at once.
 
Royal sources on June 22 confirmed that moving the Queen and Prince Philip out of the palace is one choice being considered. They would live at Windsor Castle, their weekend home, although it is unclear how long this would be for.
 
The Queen currently spends around three days a week working at Buckingham Palace, spending an increasing amount of time at Windsor Castle where she conducts royal engagements with greater frequency.
