Princess Anne to attend Cunard's 185th anniversary 

Cunard will host Princess Anne on board Queen Anne during the ship’s 185^th anniversary celebrations in Liverpool.

The festivities will begin on May 26 when the line’s newest ship arrives in the Mersey almost a year after its naming ceremony in the city.

Her Royal Highness will complete the ship’s first royal tour as the British Army Band Catterick, comprised of musicians from The Royal Corps of Army Music, commemorate her arrival.

After this, Cunard will open its Sea of Glamour exhibition at The Royal Liver Building curated by Mary McCartney showing the cultural heritage of life at sea.

Katie McAlister, Cunard president, said: “This is a landmark moment for Cunard, and we are incredibly honoured to welcome Her Royal Highness to Liverpool as we celebrate 185 years of our heritage.

“The opening of the Sea of Glamour exhibition is a fitting tribute to the elegance and legacy that define Cunard, and to the special bond we share with this great city.”
