Britain could soon get a new royal yacht. There have been rumours for more than a decade but on this occasion it looks like they could be true. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government is prepared to splash more than 200 million pounds on a new vessel for the royal family which would also be a floating world trade embassy for the new “global Britain.”

@ Les C. Really ? How boring. Why would anyone want to visit a yacht that was used by garrapatas who live of the public. The squatters in Buckingham Palace should all be decommissioned. Off with their heads.
The Royal yacht has not been scrapped, but de commissioned, and is moored in Edinburgh, as a tourist attraction. Visited a few years ago, and a well worthwhile visit
