The Queen's Old Malta Villa Can Now Be Yours, if You Have a Spare $6.7 Million

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, when they were first married, spent significant time in Malta at their Villa Guardamangia.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, when they were first married, spent significant time in Malta at their Villa Guardamangia. The "palazzo-style mansion" is apparently gorgeous, although it's fallen into disrepair since then. The residence is now on the market for 5.3 million pounds, which, roughly translated, is $6,753,233. Please, come join me as I ogle this gorgeous historical residence.

Here's more details about the place, which sounds like it might need an update (just like Frogmore (opens in new tab)):

The Queen apparently is very fond of the residence, saying in 2015, "Visiting Malta is always very special for me. I remember happy days here with Prince Philip when we were first married." So this is the spot of royal newlywed bliss—just sayin'. In fact, here's a picture of them at the villa:
