British Queen’s cruise holidays come to an end

Queen Elizabeth, together with some of the Royal family, had gone on a series of cruise holidays recently. Now that the vacation is over, business now back as usual.

The Queen was personally greeted by the Prince Charles when she arrived. The Prince of Wales was on holiday in Caithness and then went to meet his family who just arrived at the Scrabster harbor following an eleven-day trip aboard the Hebridean Princess.

Part of the entourage was the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children. The group then attended a lunch hosted at the Castle of Mey.

Also enjoying this special cruise holiday were the Duke of York, daughters Eugenie and Beatrice, Vice-Admiral Timothy Laurence.

The 49-passenger vessel sailed from Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis on July 23, 2010 and the trip was a memorable one for everyone since they managed to spend significant time with each other.
