Gloriana looks quite nice for £1m [if that's correct].
But why did they have to row it, couldn't she afford a little Yanmar?:D
 
It's a green issue. They probably thought of solar power but were sensible enough to know that it will be overcast and raining.
 
I thought there is twin electric motors & a bow thruster? (photo's on Thames forum, but haven't looked too closely)

Looking at the photos again, there is a propeller visible on starboard quarter, so there could be one 'tother side as well.

I wonder what sort of anchor Her Maj has specified?:D
