Visitors to the Royal Yacht Britannia are frequently surprised by how modest the Queen's sleeping area was. A single twin bed with a flowered bedspread were apparently sufficient for Her Royal Majesty. Matching curtains hang from the two windows.

Two matching blond-wood night tables, a writing desk with a chair, lamps, and two occasional tables completely furnished the room.

Elsewhere on the ship, many happy family photos line the walls. There are several of the smiling Queen wearing slacks and looking relaxed amidst her nearest and dearest.
