Photo inside the Queen's Balmoral retreat show her antique clock, cushions with a crown motif and VERY retro heater (but Her Majesty does have a Sky box) Balmoral photo reveals the Queen's private space

This revealing image, taken today during a private audience between the Queen and the Governor General of Canada, Julie Payette, shows how the monarch has taken great care to preserve the traditional decor inside Balmoral Castle, her beloved Scottish summer retreat. Pictured: 1. An armchair, believed to have been recovered and finished in the Queen's preferred skirted style; 2. A Samsung TV and Sky box, a rare modern touch; 3. Volumes of books, including the works of Sir William Fraser, some of which have remained in exactly the same position for 40 years; 4. A red chair and leather-top desk which have been used by the Queen since at least the 1970s; 5. An antique gold-plated clock (also top right); 6. An electric convention heater, of a type available for less than £20 on the high street (also bottom right); 7. Cushions covered in a crown motif fabric that was once used for a sofa in the library (also middle right).
