Kate Middleton and Prince William’s three-day tour across Britain aboard the Royal Train comes with cozy quarters!
Their palace on wheels is comprised of nine separate carriages, which Queen Victoria had originally decorated in 23-carat gold paint with silks and satin to resemble Buckingham Palace. It has since been updated with a more modest design.
The couple will sleep in separate beds on the train as their suite has his and hers single beds. It also has a private bathtub and a 12-seat dining room complete with a Formica table.
There is a room onboard for the royals to work in and a kitchen, where staff will prepare meals.
