Photo: The Queens Living Room

The Royal Yacht Britannia

This was the Queens living room on board the Royal Yacht Britannia which was the official royal ship launched in 1954. The Queen travelled the world on the yacht contributing to her becoming the most travelled monarch in history.

The Royal Yacht Britannia was decommissioned in 1997 and now lives in Edinburgh where we normal folk can climb on board and have a good nosy into all of the rooms which include the Queens bedroom. Whilst there don’t forget to take afternoon tea, I highly recommend the scones, just beautiful!

    When I visited the Royal Yacht Britannia I was particularly taken by the Queens sitting room—-it looks so comfortable and inviting not at all stately which the commentary tells you was Her Majestys personal taste.
    Wonderful fudge on sale in the little shop on the yacht.

    Agreed! I could of happily put my feet up and relaxed on Her Majesty’s sofa whilst enjoying the very tasty fudge 🙂
