As Queen there is not much HRH Elizabeth II goes wanting for, a point that was proved yesterday when she had a gold-plated Nintendo Wii delivered.Last year it was revealed that the Q-wii-n had got hooked playing on Prince William's Wii and in particular a ten-pin bowling game.
But now she will not have to wait her turn after being sent the specially commissioned gold finished gaming machine - a lot more fitting for a monarch than white plastic.
The console was sent to Buckingham Palace by games publisher THQ Inc along with a copy of their latest game 'BIG Family Games' which includes golf, tennis, ladder golf and lawn darts.
Her Royal Highness will be able to play against other royals like Prince Philip and Prince Charles or on her own ... once she gets used to calling her character a Mii rather than a One.
Danielle Robinson of THQ, said: "BIG Family Games is the ultimate Wii game to get all family members, from grandparents to young children, playing together. The Royal Family is arguably the most important family in the country so we felt that they had to have a copy of the new game.
"But we thought that Her Majesty the Queen wouldn't want to play on any old console, so an extra-special gold one was commissioned. We hope that she and the rest of the Royal Family enjoy the game!"
