Love that set (4) of Royal Yachts.....have to put my hands on some of these. Understand the Britannia was retired for X reason (not my business).....very nice stamps.
One day, Rod might invite us on his.....!!!!!

We are not all going to fit in the bath, though.

It came to the end of its practical life as a sailing vessel (it's still there as a visitor attraction) and the cost of a replacement was deemed too high, hence the lack of a royal yacht these days.
