There are still talks over a new Royal Yacht. Apparently the Royal Family aren't interested (before the passing of the Queen) but Liz Trust wants it. To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing one. I think it does well to advertise our nation to the world. Same can be said for The Red Arrows.

All service personnel swear an oath of allegiance to her, personally. My Dad was a servicemen and I asked him if the government and the crown issued conflicting orders, his answer was that legally, he would be bound by oath to follow the Queen's orders. It is Her Majesty's Government, it is Her Majesty's Armed Forces, first and foremost. As to taxes, remember, taxes are also collected in her name, which based on this constitutional arrangement would technically make the tax money hers.

@@matthewvwuk Perhaps you might care to check your facts . The RY Britannia , named after her Great Grandfather’s racing yacht, was not given to the Queen by her father the king .. She was built at the Nation’s expense on the Clyde and was not commissioned until 1954 . I was referring to good ole “Britannia” once a decent country , as in Blighty . As for assuming that I am a Republican ? On the contrary , I am a devoted Monarchist , one deeply disappointed in the House of Windsor since the death of the late and splendid King. Furthermore , I suggest that the only unwanted people here , are those whom arrogantly presume to assume and do precisely that without the requisite knowledge or information .
