Join me for a private tour of the late Queen's favourite home - The Royal Yacht Britannia. Go beyond the ropes for a look inside the private apartments, including the Drawing Room, State Dining Room, the Queen's Study, and even her bedroom.

The Queen first visit to a foreign country was Panama, my beloved country navigating the previous Royal vessel The Gothic. It crossed the Panama Canal while the queen and Prince Philip visited Cristobal on the Atlantic side and Panama City on the Pacific. As a 14 year old student (given the day off) I lined one of our narrow streets on her way to Panama presidential palace in a yellow convertible Cadillac with red leather upholstery. She was so delicate and to me, ten feet away, the most beautiful english rose. I am 84years old now sitting in my back patio next to my mango tree, retired bilingual Panama Canal claims expert, your loyal suscriber, ... and the yellow Cadillac belonged to my cousin Josefina. Her father, a successful businessman gave it to her as a graduation present in 1952. Surprised you, eh!

Ohhhhhh.... This was one of the most exciting videos I have seen from you... I looovvvveeed viewing the rooms and envisioned the Royal family and guests aboard. I was 5 when I sailed on the Queen Mary ( 1960). My mum, brother and I were in second class . My brother and I would sneak up to first class at night and watch! Lol we never got caught...well.. not from anyone except mum. We were ģoing to England back to my mums home in Norwich. The casualness of the rooms, almost understated reminded me of the Eisenhower's and Churchill's home. This was brillant...

I was picturing the Queen and her family being there and imagining what it would feel like to live that life... especially back in the 50s...a time in history I wish I could snap my fingers and be living in myself. ♥♥♥
