Queen Elizabeth rides the Windsor Castle grounds in style.

Queen Elizabeth is making use of a Mercedes golf car to get around Windsor Castle, where two more cars have been delivered to help chauffer guests.

According to British tabloid newspaper the Sun, Her Majesty, 95, has been getting around the castle grounds in an $80,000 four-seater golf car with leather seats, an infotainment screen and built-in refrigerator. The car tops out at 43mph and has been dubbed the Queen Mobile, according to the Sun.

The queen has had a number of health problems recently and walks with a cane. Aides have been using the car to drive the queen and her corgis around the Windsor estate grounds; it is reported that the queen has been unable to walk the dogs since October.

The two new cars were delivered in time to be used for Easter services at Windsor, the Sun reported.
