The Queen opening Sandringham to public as drive-in cinema at £32.50 a car

The Queen will open up one of her private estates to the public for a drive-through movie night.

On Friday, September 25 members of the public will be able to drive onto Sandringham Estate for a socially distanced cinema experience.

Tickets cost £32.50 for a series of films beginning with 1917 and including Rocketman, Toy Story, The Greatest Showman and A Star Is Born.

An advert for the event listed online reads: "Enjoy your favourite movie from the comfort of your car in the wonderful setting of Sandringham Country Park.

"We have selected some great street food vendors to join us at each performance.

"Upgrade your ticket for just £7.50 to add a deckchair, table, popcorn and separate area to the side of your vehicle."

Sandringham was purchased by Queen Victoria in 1892 and is now privately owned by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

It is unlikely that film-enthusiasts will bump into the Queen, who is currently at Balmoral.

She is not expected to return to Sandringham until Christmas.

While Her Majesty has a large team of people running the properties she inherited, the decision to open up the estate follows a relatively tough few months.

The Firm has lost an estimated £18m from shut tourist sites this summer, The Sun reports.

Earlier this week Royal tear-aways Meghan and Harry's money spinning plans were brought to light.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have inked an agreement said to be worth $100million (£75m) to produce documentaries and films for the streaming giant.

The Mirror reported earlier today that the Royal Family would cast an eye over any contracts.
