The Royal Family appear to be distancing themselves from the project so it will not be called Duke of Edinburgh or even Royal Yacht according to Sunday Times article I read. PM a bit embarrassed apparently. Also as the Navy are short of personnel and budget and ships how is this going to be crewed and indeed financed and we no longer have those multiple Leander class frigates to run around after her.

Cheers
