The Queen has applied to Wiltshire Council for permission to fell a tree on her private residence.
Queen Camilla wants to chop down a cypress tree at Reymill House in Lacock.
An application to Wiltshire Council in the name of “HRM The Queen” – which was completed by her tree surgeon – says the tree is “showing signs of deterioration and (is) shading new trees.”
The Queen needs Wiltshire Council’s permission to carry out the work because the tree is in a conservation area.
The council is due to make a decision on the application by next Wednesday, March 11.
The Queen bought the house in 1996 for £850,000 following her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles.
Earlier this week it was reported that ownership of the house had been transferred to her children, Laura Lopes and Tom Parker-Bowles.
Before they married, the King and Queen agreed the Queen should keep Reymill House to give her a “separate space” away from royal duties.
Last year, King Charles bought a £3 million house which shares a private lane with Ray Mill, amid fears it would be sold and turned into a wedding venue.
