Whether it actually could be called a Royal Yacht may be less obvious but if it was renamed first Prince Albert and then Prince Charles, the connection seems strong. But who knows? In the end most of us are just repeating stuff we've read elsewhere, And speaking of the things we read - there's a lot more material on the Wallyworld site now, and it's clear the old boat has a tremendous story to tell, even since the Hitler diary forger Heidmann had her.

I seem to remember seeing pix of something bigger, or at least a different deckhouse. I know he had a sailing yacht, maybe he had several? jeff Hmm, isn’t there some dispute about this particular ‘Goering’s yacht’ re her provenance?
