Buckingham Palace maintenance 'may mean Queens moves out'

The Queen may have to move out of Buckingham Palace to allow maintenance work costing £150m to be carried out.

It is one option being considered by the royal household, which says the upkeep of the London palace is now a "significant financial challenge".

It needs new plumbing and wiring and has not been decorated since 1952, the year the Queen ascended the throne.
