Queen Elizabeth's former Malta home, Villa Guardamangia, has been put up for sale for nearly €6m (£5.3m).

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

The villa, located on the outskirts of the capital Valletta, is the only place outside the UK that the Queen has ever called home.

She lived there between 1949 and 1951, in the early years of her marriage to Prince Philip, who had been stationed in Malta as a naval officer.

The Grade Two listed property has since fallen into disrepair.

It is currently being listed by a luxury real estate agency, which describes it as "an amazing grand Palazzo style property... with documented great historical value."
