It was the Queen's personal spacecraft. Estes made a flying model of it
back when the movie was out, about 1:144 or so. Within six months, the
hobby shop couldn't ~give~ them away!

From answers.com:

Naboo Royal Cruiser
The Naboo Royal Cruiser is a capital ship which transported Padmé Amidala to
Coruscant during the creation of the Military Creation Act. It was designed
and constructed by Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps, and
succeeded the Naboo Royal Starship as the primary transport for Naboo's
monarch. Like the Naboo Royal Starship, it has no weapons since it is a
peaceful ambassadorial ship. The Royal Starship is built around 2 Nubian S-6
hyperdrive generators and 4 J-type sublight engines. It carries 5 crew and 5
astro-utility droids for maintaining the ship, and can carry 10 passengers.

The design for Naboo Royal Starship was inspired by the B-2 Spirit.

Different ship. You are talking about the Royal Cruiser seen at the
beginning of Epp. 2 (before it was blown up).  The OP was talking about the
Royal Starship seen in Epp. 1 that looked like a SR-71.
