A source said: “She’s been struggling with stiffness in her legs recently so the car is perfect.”

The Queen gifted her corgis a spin around Windsor Castle within days of receiving their deluxe golf buggy.

The 43-mile electric car, dubbed the Queen Mobile, was set up to shuttle her around her Berkshire home after months of suffering medical troubles.

She has been seen Using a cane in the past six months and has installed an elevator in Balmoral.

Last month she told a visitor to Windsor Castle: “As you can see, I can’t move.”

And this month The Sun on Sunday revealed she hasn’t been able to walk with the corgis since October.

A Windsor Castle source said: “The car has arrived in the last two weeks. You and your helpers have already used it.

“Last week she took the dogs in it on a tour of the private property.

“Her Majesty is struggling with stiffness in her legs so the trolley is a perfect way to move her around. She’s been through many physical struggles lately with Covid and her back sprain which would take its toll on anyone – let alone someone who turns 96 next month.

The vehicle is said to “put many passenger cars in the shade”.

It was built by the Danish company Garia as part of a collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. In addition to the top speed of 43 mph, it has a range of 50 miles before its lithium battery needs recharging.

“Everyone wants her to be seen by the public for as long as possible.

“I’m sure the Queen would rather go to the events and carry on as normal, but she’s struggling at the moment.

“Her mind is still razor sharp and she has no intention of stepping down.”

“QUEEN FIGHTS”

The Queen was pictured with her cane in the castle’s drawing room on Wednesday as she viewed artefacts celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Halcyon Days company.

She hopes to attend the memorial service for Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday — although there’s no suggestion she’ll have the buggy there.

Prince Philip is also said to have used a buggy at times.
Garia is considered the Rolls-Royce of the golf cart world.

One reviewer said his Monaco model – the one the Queen is believed to have – “dwarfs many passenger cars with its leather, wood and carbon fiber interiors”.
