Queen Elizabeth can

Queen Elizabeth, 94, has travelled by sea, land and air on her many travels as monarch. Unsurprisingly she has fine-tuned her jet-setting preferences over the years. So which is her favourite way to travel?

It was designed as a royal residence to entertain guests around the world but also served as a private retreat for the family.

During 44 years in the Royal service, the yacht sailed a whopping one million miles around the world.

One of the Queen’s favourite trips was around the Western Isles of Scotland.

So attached was the monarch to the ship that she shed a tear at its decommissioning.

DON’T MISS

The Royal Yacht Britannia website described what a usual day for the Queen would be like onboard the ship.

Queen Elizabeth would often wake up at 7:30am for a cup of tea, which she always has without milk and sugar, followed by a breakfast in what was the Sun Lounge.

She would then work on official documents all day, with buffet lunch and coffee breaks in-between.

The evening would then be spent having dinner with the senior members of the Royal household and the Royal family, followed by films, games or puzzles into the evening.

In fact, when Queen Elizabeth goes to Sandringham for Christmas she has been known to travel on the same train as countless others – only in First Class and away from prying eyes.

Last year she took the Great Northern service from London King’s Cross on December 20.
