Queen's Hunt (River of Souls)

Product Information

Until 1997, holidays might be spent on Her Majesty’s yacht Britannia, now in dignified retirement at Leith, providing visitors with an insight into the little-gilded simplicity of Her Majesty’s domestic taste; its chintz sofas and quilted eiderdowns suggest a comfortable holiday cottage on the waves.

Those who could not afford to save enough would be funded by the state". [27] Hunt later denied that the policy pamphlet expresses his views.
