If you’ve ever wanted to own something that’s been touched by royalty, well, now is your chance! Prince William and Kate Middleton have—according to the official press release—put their Range Rover up for sale. And if you’re interested in making this royal vehicle your very own, make sure you’re ready to dig deep into your pockets.
As for the history behind Range Rover and the royal family, the vehicles have long been associated with the current monarch. The tradition can be traced back to the early 1950s when Queen Elizabeth received her first Land Rover. The royal family has continued to be a loyal customer ever since.
Of course, we know you’re dying to find out the exclusive details of this luxurious SUV. The original Range Rover was supplied by the VIP Department of Land Rover. The vehicle is officially a Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8, and it’s packed with—as you can imagine—various luxurious features fit for royalty. Some of these features include interior mood light and even a fridge inside the center console.
The royal Range Rover will be auctioned off online by Charity Stars—a website that’s popular for selling exclusive items. If you’re interested in making a bid, the Range Rover is projected to set you back £150,000, which is about $196,980. All proceeds of the vehicle will go to two different charities: Stand Down, a military and mental health charity, and Sun Screen IT, a charity that donates IT equipment for schools, hospitals, and orphanages in developing nations.
