throne rooms
Monarch's audience chambers
Throne rooms are chambers in palaces or castles where monarchs hold formal audiences and conduct official business.
The throne—an ornate ceremonial chair—sits prominently, often on a raised platform.
By extension, throne room is humorous slang for a bathroom: I'll be in the throne room for a while.
