Her Majesty's Yacht Britania





















And look who is at the helm.


I wonder what is the message in Debenhams window?














The Royal Rolls




The Royal bucket. I don't know the story about this one. Perhaps Marcia does. I was too busy snapping photos to get the bucket story.




Aft deck where the family played. Sometimes the staff would even assemble a pool on this deck. The Chinese gold and white thingie was moved from an earlier Royal yacht belonging to Victoria.















The Royal Rattan. Patsy, this one is for you. Hail Rattania!



The Royal dining room. The Queen sat in the middle of the table in order to be more accessable to her guests.



This is just one of the many gifts that decorate the walls of this room.























This little boy and I thought this silver ship, HMS Thunderbird, was quite swell.














The Royal bedchamber. Queen Victoria had the coverlets made, and Elizabeth II thought they were just fine. Prince Phillip has the adjoining bedroom.





Just outside the bedrooms are family photos.




The young royal family.





















This one is called, Three Generations.




The contemporary grown up royals.



















George, the Queen Mother, and the two young princesses.

The Royal Barge.
