British Queen owns a McDonald's

Among Her Majesty's Queen Elizabeth II most recent acquisitions was a retail park in Slough - which encompasses a drive-through McDonalds. Bath Road Retail Park was purchased in June by the Crown Estate, which administers the monarch's property portfolio, for euro 100 million. The site, which is visible from the Queen's State Apartments at Windsor Castle, is also home to a B&Q superstore, and branches of Comet, JJB Sports and Mothercare. But it seems unlikely that the Royal taste buds will be tempted by the fare on offer too often. The purchase will be good news for shops in these times of uncertainty, because having the Queen as landlady means the future of the site is secure.
