King Charles went for a walk down memory lane on Monday evening, touring the former Royal Yacht Britannia where he and his family spent so many happy summers. They and the rest of the family spent many summer holidays aboard Britannia, sailing around the Western Isles and landing on remote beaches away from the public eye.

Their sons Princes William and Harry both enjoyed childhood holidays on Britannia before she was decommissioned and not replaced, much to Queen Elizabeth’s dismay, in 1997. In almost 44 years of service, Britannia took members of the Royal Family and other dignitaries on 696 foreign visits.
