Ahead of the Queen’s funeral, Kaye Holland looks at her Majesty’s life at sea.
The death of Her Majesty The Queen at the Scottish royal residence of Balmoral on September 8, following a 70-year reign, has been a source of grief across the nation, the Commonwealth, and the world.
The nation is now readying itself for the Queen’s state funeral on Monday September 19 – and we send our warm wishes and heartfelt sympathy to King Charles 111, the Royal Family, and all those whose lives she touched.
As a mark of respect, for the much-loved and longest-serving monarch in British history, we’re charting her close connection with the cruise sector.
Make no mistake: Her Majesty played a pivotal role in the maritime industry christening some 21 ships – more than anyone else in the nation’s history – serving as godmother to five others and famously hiring out Hebridean Princess on two occasions; once in 2006 to mark her 80th birthday and again in 2010 to celebrate Princess Anne’s 60th and Prince Andrew’s 50th.
