RY Britannia and Nuclear War

[uk 75]

Just listened to HM The Queen broadcasting to the nation and Commonwealth reminded me of the revelation some years ago that in the event of WW3 it was planned for the Queen to be on board Britannia sheltering in various Scottish lochs.
At about the same time the thriller Warplan Z had the Queen leading resistance to the zombie apocalypse from Windsor Castle.
Slightly unnerved by all this. But also glad that she is still my Head of State.

On a tangent:

The Queen's address left my fellow French people more than a little envious

Three weeks into le confinement , the complete lockdown French authorities have imposed on the nation, TV viewers here tuned into the Queen’s address yesterday more out of curiosity than to find any kind of succour.

I think uk75 may be referring to those cold war plans enabling the British Monarchy to survive and continue post nuclear apocalypse, ie:
podcaster Julie McDowall and her Atomic Hobo series of weekly podcasts on how we prepared for nuclear war. ie this was one episode
on how they purpose build a set of Scottish ferry ships that had a Royal purpose:
