Queen Elizabeth’s favourite home | The Royal Yacht Britannia documentary @HistoryCalling

Ever wondered what life was like aboard Queen Elizabeth II’s private royal yacht? Step inside the Royal Yacht Britannia and experience the opulence, history, and royal legacy of one of the most iconic ships in British history.

In this video from History Calling I take you inside the Royal Yacht Britannia—Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved floating palace—for an exclusive tour that showcases the grandeur and significance of this remarkable vessel.

Launched in 1953 and decommissioned in 1997, the Royal Yacht Britannia served the British Royal Family for over 40 years. From royal honeymoons (including that of Charles III and Princess Diana), to state visits, world tours and diplomatic missions, Britannia played a key role in British diplomacy and heritage. Now permanently docked in Leith, Edinburgh, the yacht is one of Scotland’s most popular tourist attractions and a must-visit destination for royal fans and history lovers alike.

In this video, you’ll get a closer look at:
• The State Apartments, including the Queen’s bedroom and drawing room
• The Royal Deck Tea Room
• The Engine Room, still gleaming with polished brass
• The crew quarters, where behind the scenes photos will highlight life aboard for over 220 sailors and officers

I’ll also share fascinating facts, stories, and hidden details that bring the ship’s royal past to life, including which couple had the only double bed installed on the boat for their use!

Whether you're a history buff, a fan of the British monarchy, planning a visit to Edinburgh or just curious about what it’s like inside a royal yacht, this virtual tour of the Royal Yacht Britannia has something for you and offers a unique glimpse into royal life at sea.
