Ooh! Ooh! Planning update for America’s Royal Wedding! (In France they call it a wedding with cheese.) Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie mentioned that they’re considering holding their storybook Brangelinian nuptials aboard the Hebridean Princess, which would set them back a cool half-mill. But it’s clearly worth it, because ship was once chartered by Queen Elizabeth II herself for her 80th-birthday tour of the Scottish isles. And you know what that means: THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND POOPED IN THIS BOAT, Y’ALL.
Why get married on your $55 million France estate when you can get married aboard a tony ship sailing the seas off Scotland? The Sun reports that may indeed be Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s latest plan: The Hebridean Princess, which has been chartered by the Queen herself (or as the Sun puts it, “THE QUEEN”), holds 50 people and would, of course, offer total privacy, a source explains. Apparently the floating wedding idea was son Maddox’s idea; he spotted the ship “after looking back at photos of the Carnell Estate in Ayrshire, where they stayed and all loved,” a favorite pastime of any 11-year-old.
Brad and Angie are looking into booking the ship, which would set them back more than $450,000. “They could always sail to a secluded bay off the Orkney or Shetland islands and have the ceremony there,” the source hypothesizes. “The kids are all hooked on old British voyages, so they would love it. The fact that Maddox found it makes it more special.”
“Also,” added the source, “The Queen of England pooped in that boat, y’all.” [Newser]
