She's such an amazing person, honestly and I think she deserves a big break ❤

Elizabeth would visit Toronto, Ontario in her yacht to visit her cousin Grand Duchess Olga who lived in the greater Toronto area for a long time. Oddly, Olga’s branch of the family was never used as a source of DNA to test against the remains in Russia to verify if they were indeed the Russian royals. Olga was the sister of the tsar.

[@cserd8734]

The reason for that is they get much better results when the take DNA from the female/mothers line of the family. Empress Alexandra was a great Aunt of Prince Phillip which is the main reason they took DNA from him.

Thank you, Lindsay! Getting a video at this time is a treat :).

While this isn’t exactly related to the _Britannia_ it’s still a navy-related story, though from the other side of the pond. My grandfather was a US Navy sailor during the late Vietnam War and the Apollo missions. He served aboard the USS _Hornet_ which is now an air, sea, and space museum docked in Alameda, California. During almost every visit we take Papa up to visit the old girl and on one of our recent visits we met another sailor who served around the same time Papa did, now volunteering as a docent. He brought us down to the gun bay Grandpa worked in while in service, which is usually off-limits to guests. Amazingly the weapon still moves!

2:40 John Brown & Co also built many famous ships including the Royal Navy Battlecruisers; HMS Hood (infamously sunk by the German battleship Bismarck during WW2) & RMS Repulse (sunk by Japanese bombers along with HMS Prince of Wales only 3 days after Pearl Harbor), and the Cunard Liners; RMS Lusitania (infamously torpedoed a German U-Boat in 1915), RMS Aquitania (nicknamed "Ship Beautiful" and served in both World Wars), RMS Queen Mary (Cunard's "Superliner" that was almost never built & is now a floating hotel in Long Beach), RMS Queen Elizabeth (Queen Mary's running mate that caught on fire in Hong Kong Harbour in 1972) & Queen Elizabeth 2 (named after the Queen herself, served for 39 years between 1969 and 2008 (beating out Aquitania by 3 years) & is now a floating hotel in Dubai)

Thank you 🙏!

[@zay4401]

Nice video Lindsay

[@danielleporter1829]

Sweet fact, The Late King Constantine of Greece 🇬🇷 in a documentary I watched had a framed watercolor that King ( then The Prince of Wales) Charles did while on his and Dianas honeymoon while they were sailing around the Greek Isles. The watercolor was very good to be honest. 😊 🎨🖌🖼 Britannia had been decommissioned in 1997, and premenntioned edict from the Queen of having no honeymoons on the ship The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were married in 1999, so they couldn't have had their honeymoon aboard anyway.

[@tburrrg2502]

Yay!! A Christmas treat! Merry Christmas Lindsay I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday. Thank you for taking time to post this video!

[@cindchan]

[@loislewis5229]

My favorite Bond is Sean Connery, just like the Queen’s 😊

[@donnashapleigh4863]

Happy Holidays! We visited the yacht last August. I missed the tea room though- next time! Enjoyed it very much! Though you got more info & stories! Thanks!

[@payrysdoscs4903]

[@tc2334]

[@dijonrayrollan2954]

Merry Christmas Eve to you Lindsay!

[@payrysdoscs4903]

9:10 That bed is smaller than mine, and I got it when I was 6.

[@payrysdoscs4903]

4:48 I wonder what kind of chaos went on in those hockey games...

[@S_J_banana]

[@lfgifu296]

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎁🎁❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄

[@stephaniex90]

I really miss the queen. The pomp of monarchy died with her.

[@Richardsonprincess00]

Before planes invented it, yacht of ships was sailing to go for royalty families of Europe.

[@Richardsonprincess00]

Edward dodge the bullet of not sailing on the Britannia yacht at all.

[@yogitakapoor4901]

Hi merry christmas

[@ericfasold805]

Montreal hosted the Olympics in 1976 not 72.

[@MrMomo182]

Because it was laid down as The King's Ship, when he died the ship should have been sunk, as the royal yacht of George V was sunk in The Solent. This is why it was unlucky, I believe. They are descendants of Vikings, after all.

[@AlfredBortne-mm8ez]

Not vacation. They go on holidays.

[@amaraMarie-e4i]

omg 1 minute ago?

[@Sam-tr6ur]

Is there anyway you can start making videos about the monarchy in the beginning like 1066 and the Plantagenets? Or even possibly before 1066? There’s so much history no one knows about in that era.

[@quinncrochet19]

If you already haven't can you make a video about all the history that is in the first couple seasons of Outlander. It is really confusing to me. I love your channel! This video is awesome thank you so much!

“A connecting door in case they were feeling romantic on their travels” those beds don’t look big enough to do anything romantic in 😂😂

[@theelitemanticore151]

When I was this early, the Titanic was still floating…🤪 XOXO Merry Christmas, Lindsay!!

[@S_J_banana]

6:42 I wonder...

[@iluop3623]

Phil had Diddy party on the yatch....😜

[@_Geist]

it's scary how privilege treats expenses, but super insightful how human nature stays the same

[@michaelhowell2326]

Depending on whom the order to not wear their sailor's caps, they might not be out of order. Seeing they were traveling with the Head of State and Admiral of the Fleet, I'd imagine the men were permitted or requested to not wear them.

[@Arielsfork]

Yep the armed forces swear to serve the monarch, she was their commander in chief and can order whatever er she wanted
