The five-star luxury hotel is close by but only a few of the best rooms actually allow guests to see the royal residence.

Gaga is in Britain for an appearance on the Jonathan Ross show and a private gig. And she has been glued to her hotel window at every opportunity to try to catch a glimpse of the Queen or Prince Phillip.

A source said, "She is totally obsessed with the royals. One of the reasons she loves that hotel is because of how close she is to the Queen. This time she thought ahead and brought a pair of really high-tech binoculars with her. She hopes she'll eventually get to see Her Majesty walking the corgis in the garden."

This is not the first time the singer has shown her love for British royals. In April, she held a British tea party for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton ufffd complete with Union Jack bunting.

The star has even spent ufffd10,000 (Rs 7.6 lakh) on memorabilia from the wedding to decorate her New York home.
