Princess Royal visits Queen Anne as Cunard hails Liverpool bond
Her Royal Highness Princess Royal joined Liverpool city officials, crew, and guests on Queen Anne to celebrate the enduring bond between Cunard and its spiritual home.
Liverpool has a special place in the company’s 185-year history as the birthplace of Cunard’s first Transatlantic Crossing and was the company’s headquarters for 128 years.
The city was named – in a world first – as Queen Anne’s Godparent during an historic naming ceremony at the iconic Liverpool Waterfront last May.
Princess Royal met with members of Cunard’s Women Officers Network.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: “Liverpool is not just where Cunard was founded — it’s where our story began. The bond between Cunard and Liverpool has grown over generations. We feel a strong connection to this city and are always proud to return.”
The visit coincided with Sea of Glamour, a special exhibition curated by Mary McCartney and featuring 184 images from Cunard’s past and present since the first Atlantic crossing which sailed from Liverpool in 1840.
