Hi Lynda - Thanks for your reply and info. I too have read about the thought going into the choosing of the name.
To me and to a few other ship people on this side of the pond, the name Queen Anne seems like a slap in the face to The Princess Royal, Princess Anne. If not done intentionally, it at least smacks of insensitivity.
The Princess Royal will never be Queen, even though she is qualified.
It seems Cunard need to make it known why the name was chosen. I really do think it is hurtful to The Princess.
