A two week, Western Isles cruise has been organized next week by the Royal Family in order to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of the Princess Royal and - belatedly - the fiftieth birthday of the Duke of York.
The MV Hebridean Princess has been chartered. It will be recalled that HMY Britannia was decommissioned over a decade ago, much to my chagrin.
The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall are unable to be on the cruise due to other engagements; though Prince Charles shall host a luncheon at the Castle of Mey for the Royal party.
As my own entourage are cruising the Erne system at the same time I hope the weather is a bit better than at present.
ReplyDeleteI share your sentiments on the Royal Yacht.
It was a shame.
ReplyDeleteOh, to be on the Erne! I have an immense fondness for L Erne and Fermanagh generally. We used to spend many happy hols there.
