Queen Elizabeth: The golden carriage for her coronation in 1953 was 'not very comfortable'

During her coronation in 1953, she was required to travel by a golden carriage

During her coronation in 1953, she was required to travel by a golden carriage to Westminster Abbey.

She told explained in the recent BBC documentary The Coronation just how uncomfortable the journey was for her 25-year-old self.

The Queen said: “It’s only sprung on leather [which is] not very comfortable.”

Measuring seven foot long, and weighing nearly four tons, it was pulled by eight horses which she states is “not meant for travelling in at all" and only went a couple of miles an hour.

Queen Elizabeth: The monarch disliked travelling in the golden carriage the most

Her favourite method of travel was reportedly the Royal Yacht Britannia, which sailed for 44 years in the Royal Service.

It travelled over one million miles with a favourite trip of the monarch's being to the Western Isles of Scotland.

It was decommissioned in 1997 due to the sheer cost of running the ship being too expensive to maintain. 

She famously shed a tear during its final service.

Queen Elizabeth: She often travels by car or by train in the UK

What many people may not realise is that Queen Elizabeth often travels by train when returning from Norfolk.

The Royal Family head to Sandringham every year, with the 91-year-old travelling from King’s Lynn station in Norwich to London Kings Cross, taking the 10:45am train with her entourage.

Costing £56.10, she travels first class for the 90-minute journey, choosing the commuter train over a plane or car.

One passenger reportedly bumped into her security team without even realising who the famous royal was.
