Queens' Bedroom, Kennedy Administration

This photograph of the Queens' Bedroom, called the Rose Guest Room during the John F. Kennedy administration, was taken in April 1962. The Queens' Bedroom is named for the royal guests that have stayed there in the White House, including five queens: Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, Queen Wilhelmina and Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, and Queen Frederika of Greece. The room is decorated in shades of pink, white, and rose and furniture from the Federal period. The bed in the center of the room may have been purchased during the Andrew Jackson administration.
