CUNARD’S NEW 2,092-passenger ocean liner Queen Elizabeth – successor to the QE2 which retired in 2008 – was launched by Queen Elizabeth on October 11th, when she smashed a bottle of 2009 Cunard Graves (a Rothschild wine) against its hull. She was the only person there who could claim to have been at all three Queen Elizabeth ship namings.
