British government grants the yacht to Elizabeth II
Elizabeth II
The Queen of Britain will get the yacht, which price is 90 million dollars from British government. The Queen Elizabeth II is already 60 years on the throne. The government supported the idea of the gift, but they will not buy it with budget money.
“The government will support the project politically not financially.” – stated the representative of Prime Minister, David Cameron.
The government emphasize that the money of taxpayers will not be spent on it, but they do not specify how they will support it.
The project is initiated by Minister of Education Michael Howe. He said that they should establish the fund, which will attract financial resources from wealthy entrepreneurs.
Queen Elizabeth has no yacht already 15 years. The last ship “Britannia” was written off and transferred to National Museum of British Fleet in 1997.
