Jerry987654321 Posted May 22 #476 Share Posted May 22 I appreciate the photos quite a bit as there are many similarities between the staterooms and it looks lovely. Can't wait to see her live. Thank you again for all your help. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be heading down there! Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the office until 5, but it's not far from there to Pier Head. It'll be particularly special for my mum, because she has memories of meeting her grandfather, a Cunard crewmember, off the original Queens when they came in. I'm a little confused by the choice of Matt and Emma Willis as the focus of so much of the QA publicity. I've googled them, and I'm still not sure who they are. I don't think I could pick them out of a line-up even if I had pictures in my hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is normal protocols due to the election being called the King has cancelled a large number of the Family's events so if it is one of them there's a risk it could be not happening. Not sure if they carry a spare(!) but at least Mr Bocelli is a bit special ... guess we will find out soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for the benefit of non UK readers, a general election was called for 4 July, and in that period the Crown does two things - keeps away from any area that has political overtones or implications; and doesn't do anything to distract unnecessarily from the election process. Some things won't be touched, notably the D Day remembrance events, also anything outside the public eye won't be affected (such as meeting high commissioners and ambassadors). I'm not sure where being a Godparent comes into this, but it may possibly fall into the distraction category. I guess the Duchess of Sussex is available though. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millieloulou Posted May 24 #482 Share Posted May 24 Becareful NE John, when I mentioned some time ago that perhaps Liverpool would be a likely port for the naming ceremony,and Stephen Gerald to do the honours I was shouted down.At least I got part of it right! Ok Stephen was a bit silly !, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to news bulletins yesterday, Prince William will be at the FA Cup final today. I have also heard news reports stating that the King is definitely going to France for the DDay commemorations (presumably health permitting). It sounds like not everything is being posted into the online Royal Diary at the moment and they are probably still reconsidering everything previously planned between now and 4 July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely mentioned that this document had15 pages of engagements prior to the announcement, now it is curtailed. I don't doubt there are plenty of other things going on, it was simply an observation with an attempt at humour regarding carrying a spare.

Because if someone writes something back to me with question marks after every point it reads that way to me. It makes me personally feel challenged and I find it unnecessary. I apologise if it was a misunderstanding. Returning to the original point, I understand that each event will be looked at on a case by case basis in respect to royal attendance. If indeed it is to be a Royal family member I doubt very much that it would fall into the cancellation category. Only time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winifred 22 Posted May 25 #497 Share Posted May 25 Princess Anne would be a likely contender what do others think? She awarded me my degree many many years ago so I would be happy with that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanky Lad Posted May 30 #500 Share Posted May 30 I wasn't sure where to ask this so I thought, he is a good a place as any. Is there a free sauna on QA like QV and QE, or only the one in the Spa you have to pay to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
