The final resting place of Queen Victoria and her beloved Albert is suffering from damp.
The Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore is the responsibility of the Royal Household.
But recent monitoring revealed that an inadequate drainage system has caused a problem with damp.
Now a scheme of temporary additional rainwater drainage has been agreed with English Heritage and work is underway.
This will enable the building to dry out so that conditions can be stabilised.
