Will Queens Grill class be renamed Kings Grill?

[NSWP]

OK, serious question will the Queens Grill class on the Cunarders be renamed Kings Grill?  

 

What say ye?

[bluemarble]

I think not. We've had a Kings Court on QM2 even though there was a queen on the throne. I find it interesting how many hits I get when I google "Kings Grill" from people who thought that was the name of the Kings Court.

Why should they as they are all on ships named after a Queen and they aren't not going to change them. 

[NSWP]

OK, so next Cunard ship...'King Charles?  Or perhaps Queen Camilla, lol.

No, because it is the Queens Grill because it is named after the original two Cunard Queens. Whereas it is the Queen's Room because it is named after the Queen (which Queen depends on which ship you are on).

It is never going to happen.

The next Cunard ship is going to be Queen Anne, I think the one after that might be a long time coming!

Not Camilla, she’s Queen Consort, not regnant.  How about Alinor/Eleanor of Aquitaine?  Now, there was a great lady…. EM

So was that Queen Mary.

If Cunard is going to stick with Queens, they are going to have a small fleet with names recycled to successors. I like the idea of Eleanor of Aquitaine, but I might find a cruise on Queen (Lady) Jane a bit brief and possibly heading nowhere.

Is that a deliberate pun?

Possibly. 😁

Passenger ships are often thought of in the feminine sense, so, no King Charles.  A new Royal Navy warship?  Quite likely to be named HMS King Charles, I think.

I agree with @Host Hattie that it will be a long time before there is another Cunard ship. They need to get the QA into the water and filled with passengers.

This statement confuses me as your last sentence negates your first!

One or our new carriers is HMS Prince of Wales.

The OP’s post, I think, is merely trying to get a debate started.

Passenger ship vs warship, I believe.

I imagine the Lady Jane Grey would have to do endless 7 nighters to Norway and back from Southampton as more than 9 nights would not be appropriate?

Captain would have to be careful they didn't head off in the wrong direction! 😕

The Prince of Wales is no longer Charles as I understand the situation.  Prince William is the newly designated Prince of Wales.

That was the intention of what I was saying in my post.
