The Royal Yacht Britannia by Gena




Today we went and saw the Britannia, the yacht the queen and her family sailed on in the 1950's till the late 1990's. The tour was an audio set that was self controlled. My favourite rooms were the queens bedroom and the state dining room. It was even big enough to sit all glenisters for christmas lunch (56 seats) and uncle peter would be very happy to sail it!

The servants and crew were not nicely treated with their jobs and living space they had to do all the chores before 8am eg. scrub the deck, so they wouldn't get in the way of the royal family.They lived in a shared cramped room with not much space for their belongings.
