THE Queen has become the landlord of her very own McDonald's outlet, but don't expect to see her flipping burger patties any time soon. A retail park containing a McDonald's near her home of Windsor Castle has been bought by the Crown Estate for £92 million ($191 million), The Sun reports. She can apparently even see the golden arches at the site in Slough, Berks, across the Thames from her home. "We are delighted she chose us rather than Burger King," a McDonald's insider told The Sun
"The only trouble is the drive-through is one of the smaller ones so she'd have a job getting her Rolls-Royce round it." The retail park also includes a baby store and sports store, where the monarch could buy supplies for her next hunting expedition. The Crown Estate reportedly manages a £7 billion ($14.5 billion) property portfolio for the Queen. Labels: HRH |
