Why HMS Princess Margaret would need a capital ship

A ship named for a specific royal would need enough status to carry the name, making a large future combatant the plausible fit.

Question

What kind of Royal Navy ship could be commissioned as HMS Princess Margaret?

Short answer

A capital ship or similarly prominent future combatant, perhaps a sufficiently large Type 83.

Notes

HMS Princess Margaret would need to be a capital ship or another exceptionally prominent combatant. A personal royal name carries more weight than a label that could be assigned to any hull. In the modern fleet, a sufficiently large Type 83 is the kind of future ship that might fit.
