Three Queens Make Joint Appearance
The Duke of Edinburgh joined celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the “grandest ocean liner ever built,” the Queen Mary 2, as it made a rare arrival at its home port alongside its two sister ships. The ship sailed into Southampton accompanied by the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria, making the Hampshire port the only place in the world to have hosted the “Three Queens” three times. The Queen Mary 2 was named by the Queen and Prince Philip in January 2004, when it became the flagship of the Cunard fleet.
