    1. It was the one place where the only photos were taken by the family. They could anchor offshore and go to quiet coves.Total freedom and privacy. The crew became a close team.
    2. There was also real nastiness in Cherie Blair's alleged interference in the decision to decommission and not replace the yacht which
    3 had served as a floating embassy for the UK providing the comforts of home in an endless round of official events

    It’s always sad when a ship is decommissioned. We grew up seeing it take members of the RF to different countries all over the world. I emigrated to the US and watched from my living room window as Britannia sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge in 1982. She looked magnificent. So much history…

    Tony Blair, the then prime minister, gave the royal family the option of paying for the upkeep of the yacht as the British tax payer had paid for it's upkeep up until then. They declined the offer.

      It was not only used by the royal family but also used by the important people of govt. as well. Btw, it was not HM's personal purchase that she would have put her own money in its maintenance. It was a sea presence of HM's Govt (UK) which was a good PR material for the country. Many important diplomatic missions were accomplished over there.

    I'm sure it's not "countless" someone somewhere has the exact tally. The late queen was sad and felt let down a little since all of her estates/castles and lands were passed down through inheritance...the queen's yacht was commissioned during her rein and therefore she felt it part of her legacy or as the only one of her "properties" that bore her name.
