New Royal Yacht in honour of Prince Philip

Times will change when Charles becomes king so better get the 'skates on' if there is to be Brittania 11.

Is this an April Fool’s day prank? The royal family would never waste this amount of money, especially now, would they? I think it is another Boris bonkers idea. He’s a twit!

Is that a choice grannylyn65?

Why build a yacht? Those days have gone when they had those huge cruise ships for Queen Elizabeth. In fact where did those ships go or am I thinking of something else.

So ? What's wrong with a park bench,grannylyn ? In every park, with a plaque on it commemorating him. A lot cheaper than a yacht !

Park bench my arse

What's wrong with a park bench ?

For whom?

The Queen cried when the Britannia was decommissioned so let’s put forward the idea to build a new Royal yacht to honour her husband now that she is a widow.
I do hope that this is fake news but either way it is just cruel.

Isn’t it the usual suspects on the Tory back benches?

Esspee

I would hazard a guess that whoever is lobbying for this has a vested interest in it being built.

Hancock branching out into shipbuilding is he ? Or he has a mate who has ?

If there's any money going spare I would further honour Prince Phillip by investing more in his award scheme.

Is this a windup?

Exactly Rosie51 and I doubt that Johnson would agree to it, apart from the Palace.

It will never get off the ground, a ridiculous idea. Charles is said to want a slimmed down RF going forward, a new horrendously expensive yacht doesn't seem a good fit with that ethos.

No. Ridiculous idea.

To be fair to Johnson (no, really....) what I read was that he is being "urged" to build a new Royal yacht to honour Prince Phillip, so it could be another invented story to whip up the masses. Daft idea.

I think naming a new RN ship after him is a good idea, but I don't think we've got many new big ships on the horizon any more, thank goodness.

A stupid idea by some MP’s, and it has not been reported that
Boris is considering it.

I suspect the palace will put a stop to it. They know which side of their bread is buttered.
