'Queen' takes corgis on royal day out ahead of Jubilee - but it's not what it seems

It's very rare that us regular folk get to experience what life is like for the rich and famous, in a world where money isn't an object and staff are always on hand to help with mundane tasks.

But to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this weekend, the bosses at GoBoat are rolling out the red carpet to offer the ultimate royal experience.

People hiring out the eco-friendly boats will have their very on butler on board to serve drinks and food during their trip around some of London's best sights.

And if that isn't enough to get you into the royal mood, they're also also teaming up with The Luxury Picnic Company to serve up afternoon teas fit for the Queen.

To launch the offer, the company enlisted the help of a Liz lookalike and a furry corgi friend - and it's fair to say they gave it the royal seal of approval.

Founder Grant Sweeney said: "The bumper bank holiday is the perfect time for Brits to try new and exciting ways of spending time with friends and family - as well as celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

"We’ve worked closely with The Luxury Picnic Company to curate the perfect Jubilee High Tea so our guests can enjoy the festivities in style and get a taste of royal treatment for themselves."

The butler service will be on offer on June 3 at the company's Kingston upon Thames route, where VIP guests will be able to see Hampton Court Palace.

Guests can pick between a one, two or three hour boat ride with prices starting at £95 for eight people. The afternoon tea, which includes berry and caramel tartelettes, baby scones with jam and clotted cream, truffle and rosemary focaccia with Spanish ham, is an extra £86.40.

While the Jubilee event is only on offer in Kingston, the company also operates in Birmingham.
