- Princess Anne has said the Queen did "exactly the right thing" by staying in Balmoral with Princes William and Harry in the days after the death of Princess Diana.
Interviewed in 2017, the Princess Royal said: "I think it's absolutely extraordinary that any right-minded parent should believe that it would have been an alternative to bring those children down here to London in all that hoo-ha."

I totally agree with Princess Anne...I could never understand the public reaction when The Queen decided that those 2 innocent young boys needed sometime to realize that they had lost their mother..The Queen was thinking like a grandmother...not a monarch...As far as I saw the media first started with the fact that the Queen and the children were no where to be seen and then the public got on that bandwagon...I thought it was the best thing she could have done...I salute the Queen
I agree. But i think even as a monarch, it was the right decision. They were grieving in a sober dignified manner, as it shouldve been. People lost their minds and were being hysterical. Ill never forget those scenes of those poor kids having to walk around consoling sobbing strangers when they lost their own mother. The public, largely, behaved very poorly.
Are you kidding? They made the kids walk behind their mothers coffin around London. That was cruel!!
So glad that the Queen's side of this issue is finally cleared up.Could not understand what it was that Brits wanted from the Queen...Diana was her ex-daughter-in-law who left the RF and was living her life dating and having fun. People were crying down the place begging for the Queen to say something - like what?!!! When she ignored them there was so much hatred being spewed at her - wondering if those hypocrites lining up the streets now to "pay respect" to her...really?!
@@r.22r Exactly absolutely tragic.
Agree. But I think the people were more concerned to see the Queen grieving with them or if the Queen got word to the masses she cared but why she needed to hold out before going back to London. Yes. The boys were better off isolated for a little while as they absorbed what had occurred to thier mother. And perhaps the public didn't think of that initially.
I always thought the public were so selfish in expecting the Queen to drop everything and come to London. It was callous to openly criticise her at the time for staying in Scotland with two small boys with broken hearts.
Absolutely right.....the grandmother becomes the mother. The same happened in my family. My father was orphaned when his mother died from childbirth. His paternal grandmother lovingly raised him..
Agree, well said ... and thanks for sharing this. 🌷
Their mother died when they were teenagers.
They is strikingly different.

I guess my dad was raised by my great-grandma. We’re so lucky to still have her. I miss her. She’s a state away.
@@shantelane2553 No. From the information we are given, this person is basically saying what happened from the equivalent perspective of George/Louis/Charlotte: the only difference being that Diana died from a car crash whereas this person's father's mother died from childbirth.
Totally agree. Being a grandmother was most important at that time.
ua-cam.com/video/dUqKftU4pnM/v-deo.html
Exactly. They needed "Grandma", not "Your Majesty". And she tried to be just that: Grandma.
Now the bow makes sense.. she was higher in rank in the royal family, but in family family.. Diana was Mom.
That's right she was being a grandmother first to her grandchildren
No! Being a queen was EQUALLY important as being a grandmother. Diana's fans NEEDED the outpourings of grief!!!
I completely agree. No one else considered that those boys didn't want to be on display!
She absolutely did the right thing. I have always felt that way. Losing a parent at that age or at any age is hard much less for young children.
Yes, losing a parent is hard at any age.
BUT...William and Harry weren't young children. They were teenagers. Old enough to understand that their mother was loved by many.
@@claireakahayes-fogarty8452 But they still were grieving and needed their grandmother with them. The press pushed this issue of her hurrying to go to London. The people who said they loved Diana should have never fell into the trap the press layed out.
I remember it all well, and I think the press whipped up a mob like frenzy, demanding the Queen return to London. Now, in hindsight, I think most people would agree that the situation was well out of hand and our poor Queen was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Absolutely right!! Those kids were much better served being away from the wailing mob that was in London after Diana died. Her Majesty and her family were so right. Balmoral was the best place they could be. Its peace, beauty and serenity combined with the support and love of their whole family would have been much more healing and restful during the early days of their grief. They were children after all!!
Totally agree with The Princess Royal .. the whole situation was crazy the Queen had to bring the boys away from the tranquil peace of Balmoral into the mayhem of grieving people in busy noisy London . I understood the people’s grief but they were only superficially affected.. The boys lives were completely turned upside down at such a vulnerable age..
I always thought the Queen did the right thing. It's impossible to please everyone. She did what was right for her grandsons and that was paramount in her mind.
Children come first before anything.
Yes, but remember millions criticized the queen at the time... people were very un fair to the queen
She absolutely did the right thing by shielding and protecting her two grandsons from the media. It's what anyone else would do in the same circumstances.
💯 in agreement with the Royal Princess 👑 from this Canadian & grandmother. Much appreciation, respect & love 💕 from 🇨🇦
Anne has such a strong presence. As much as I like Charles, Anne would have been my first pick for a monarch.
Best Queen we never had
Aye she's kept her head down and worked hard
I love an iron lady
Yep indeed best Queen we never had.
I have often said the very same thing over the years
She is too outspoken. I have never cared for her brash manner. She's too opinionated. To be Queen, you can't speak out on many things even though you believe in something. Keeping quiet is not Anne's strong point. However, I like her speaking her mind about certain things, like keeping her children out of the family. She doesn't want to be neutral.
Well said.
The Queen's children are truly heartbroken. You can see they loved the Queen dearly. It's a sorrowful time for all of us.
video from 2017
@@cindylong624 not this video but pictures of Ann and other royal relatives, they're devastated.
I do agree as well. Grief is something that should never be rushed.
Ignorance and criminal stupidity and avarice of the press turned all that into a mess.
as the press always does in order to start a reaction for some big news story. I hate the press in the USA. They've turned our country into a third world mess.
So agree. It was obvious to me that she was protecting the boys - and if I felt that I'm sure many, many others felt the same.
And Blair or Bliar as he should be called.
@@sazzieb1 no! Public grief was perfectly acceptable!!! Diana was unique and well-loved. She was NOT just a mother, she was a PUBLIC figure and the boys were old enough to understand!!!
I think the press was terrified of the backlash against them so they fueled the flames to redirect it.
Most people out side of the London thought the media( papers ,TV ex)
Whipped up hysteria for their own advantage.Thank you for speaking your mind💯💐
When you think about it..the media did the same with COVID....they whipped up all the fear and hysteria... without the press no one would have known about covid.. the homeless and Amish people were 'safe' from covid.... no tv or newspapers.
So sorry for your loss beautiful Princess 🌹 I agree with her Majesty the Queen then, and I agree with you now !
Agree. The Queen was protecting those boys. Balmoral was the perfect place to keep them
Totally agree, I kept trying to say this at the time ,when my "freinds "were braying and demanded we needed her ,I couldn't believe the selfish demands,it was so obvious her majesty was protecting the boys .
God save the king
I love Ann. What a dignified woman.
The Princess Royal is so classy. As well as a good parent.
I always thought the same thing. Her grand sons were experiencing shock on top of their profound grief. She was protecting them in the best way she could. The press even at a time were just an awful bunch of vultures.
They still are...attacking Harry still...
@@MamaStyles Ha ha ha ha
Yes. It was the press driving the attack. Nobody should have bought either the lie or any insensitive person claiming to love Diana yet saying the Queen should leave the children to show public grief for Diana. The Queen's place was with her grandchildren.
Wish I could see more of this interview. I really like Anne.
I agree and feel that we will see and hear more from Anne in the days and years ahead. She is built solid like her mother and the media may finally give her the attention she has been due. Although Anne does not seek out or choose to be in the media for fame and adulation, she would accept it as part of her duty.
Me too. She’s very no-nonsense.
Yes, the Princess Royal is correct.
Her Majesty wanted to ensure that the boys were able to grieve for a short period in Scotland away from the media circus.
It’s simply what any sensible Grandmother would do.
Absolutely spot on , the two boys were very young , i think Princess Anne will be a huge support to Charles going onwards
Yes William confirm that his grandma was there for him both bad and good times
When she saw Diana's coffin pass by, The Queen gave an impromptu bow as a mark of respect and admiration for her. The Queen responded as well as she could have done
i doubt it was impromptu. that was a delicate time and all actions by the royal family were carefully planned and discussed. Ironically, Princess Margaret barely dropped her chin.
It was totally appropriate her love and duty was to two young boys who had lost their mother...
As an American, I have always admired the Princess Royal. I wish them well in their mourning of her Mother.
With their father away escorting Diana home the Queen was needed by her grandchildren. Right decision
Absolutely.
I never understood the public reaction. She did the right thing, looking after Prince William & Prince Harry. The public made it all about them, when 2 young boys just lost their beloved mother. Can you imagine if she left the 2 boys, they would have said she didn't care about her grandchildren. She was in a no win situation. She absolutely did the right thing. God Bless the Queen.
Or ev n worse brought the out to be publicly "displayed" all for the whim of Diana worshipers. I honestly thing Diana would have done everything she could have to stop the public from intruding on her children's grief.
@@samuelmorris9625 they did do they. They made those boys go out in front of Buckingham palace and comfort random strangers who were upset
@@boomds5602 yes. The Queen tried to keep them at Balmoral. The people and the press saying that the "people at Balmoral didn't care about Diana". They forgot that Two of those " people" were her childre!. I remember all of it.
I totally agree. I always thought it was wrong of the public to demand that the RF ‘showed’ they were grieving. I felt that the RF was forced to return to London to appease the public. The Queen did absolutely the right thing. She put the boys needs first. I think history will show that she was right.
Right. No one had the right to tell the Royal Family how they should grieve, nor should the press have said that. I understand they wanted some show of grief, but that could have happened at any time. The important thing was the taking care of Diana's children.
Fully concur with the Princess Royal's statement.
She gave her whole life to her beloved country except one time. Everything was country first, even before her own children at times. The one time she put her grandsons first was when the needed it most and she did the right thing. It had to have been the hardest moments to go through, but she did it right.
Oh, please Elizabeth had a fleet of assistants, butlers, cooks, maids and any other staff at her beck and call. All she had to do was pop in and out or snap her fingers.
@@dot0422 Those people were not the children's grandmother. They needed her.
@@TheRivrPrncess I didn't say they didn't need her!!
@@dot0422 they are not family, already they lost thier mother they couldnt lose their grandmother to duty too. the one time she put her family first in my opinion she did the right thing.
@@mariadavola noone is saying Elizabeth didn't do the right thing.
Wise words from Princess Ann. It's time to stop all that Diana vs Elizabeth thing. Story wasn't like that. They had different points of view because they were from different generations. You will find disagreements and somo problems in every single family, and the British Royal Family isn't an exception. God Save The Queen and may she and Diana rest in peace.
Yep - the Murdoch press is good at "manufactured angst" (and if you seen recent Diana headlines they are still manufacturing it) Its what brings in the cash for them.
Absolutely, the pressure the press put on the Queen and those boys at that time is unforgivable.
That is what I thought at the time
Absolutely correct..I might add Tony Blair to that ...He helped stoke the crazy people ...
@Ynys_Mon
Wrong!
@@ritacobb3063 Wrong!
@@donnamacleod4488 Wrong!
Agree. Family first in this situation. Then the nation. Like all granny’s would do. Protect the children’s right to grieve as a family first. The days after had to be the most difficult period of these young mens lives. I think it honored Diana’s wishes to protect her children and their brig private time to mourn. The Queen was a very wise mother, grandmother and monarch. Remained loyal to her priorities against the tide of opinions. Emotions were running high with grief for all. The Lord Bless her !
I admire and respect Princess Anne so much. It would be wonderful to see more of this interview.
You are so right… after all these years.. someone to say the right thing
I totally agree. Family always comes first, no matter what your position is. ❤🍀
Exactly HRH Princess Anne, I totally agree with you, why would Her Majesty The Queen
want to put both Her grandsons on display and through all that, when they had only lost
their mother. The Queen did the right thing alright. God bless you Princess Anne.🌹👍
Very true words..❤
Queen Elizabeth was a remarkable women . She will be missed but her legacy lives on in her grandchildren who loved her and learnt to respect others because of the example she showed and the influence of her life and love on their lives . May God be with those left behind and strengthen them in the days ahead
Totally agree with Princess Anne's comment. The 'boys' would've been traumatised more if not for the sanctuary of Balmoral castle.
It was about keeping the boys safe and out of the public eye ..... Who are we to judge, she did the right thing,
Agree with the Princess Royal 🕊️👏💯
I agree, too....
Absolutely no doubt whatsoever...I always said that and never understood why she was being criticised.
Shows the craziness of the mob when it gets goin.
We have seen the mob mentality on Social Media recently and it is alarming that normally sensible people behave so irrationally.
Well said! Shameful the abuse the Queen received in 1997 for loving and protecting her grandchildren.
Princess Anne is an amazing woman. With an amazing work ethic. Just like her Parents. Amazing sense of duty. My favourite royal.
The Queen lost her father at a young age. Im sure she wanted to be there for them. Especially no where near the press who had hounded her family and swarmed Diannas car off the road.
true. the public always want the royals especially the monarch to think about them first. forgetting that the queen was not just a sovereign but also a woman, wife, mother, and grandmother. at that moment, it was her grandchildren who were her priority and NOT the emotional demands of the public. they should respect that.
Those boys were exactly where they should have been, surrounded by their family.
As an American I was surprised by the public "outrage" over the Queen going to Balmoral with the grandchildren. To me it seemed right because those boys needed their family and time away from the public to grieve. I had an English neighbor at the time (she was born during the 1930's and lived through WWII) and she commented to me that the way the public acted was "not the English way". The media, of course, was creating their customary yellow journalism.
I had never paid much attention to Princess Anne, she seems to fly under the radar, but from what I've seen here and during the Queen's funeral, I have a lot of respect for her. She is a formidable lady.
The Princess Royal is absolutely right. I am glad Anne spoke up. Well done!
Agree!
They were the queens grandchildren and she knew better also how some one conducts their affairs is no business of others the queen was a wonderful and beautiful woman who was such a wise woman from young age she understood what was required of her and the privilege that was bestowed came at a cost of personal freedom this amazing individual worked till her last days unlike the useless key board warrior who are so work shy the young should learn a few things from this amazing human who I for one love and adored and will still do so she has raised good children all gave service to their country may Allah swt bless you and grant you the highest rank also in jannah lots of love from Kashmir
Bueno......lo del príncipe Andrés lo ha tapado con unos varios millones de euros
Ejemplar......
I’m sure the Queen had her own unique experiences with the press before the royals Charles and Dianna did.
I hope we will be able to hear from Ann soon, since the Queen's passing. At this time, I find her input to be the most consoling.
Nothing but respect and admiration for The Princess Royal.
Absolutely agree! X
Well said👏✨
It was absolutely right she protected them. I lost a parent at that age I wouldn't have had the strength to do what those boys did. The Queen safeguarded them. Why is it mentioned it's utterly ridiculous that people get to judge the Queen or anyone. It was they loss not everyone else's time to mourn. I've held on to those views for over 25 years, I am pleased Princess Anne expressed her views. I truly know what it's like to lose a parent as a teenager. It's clear she was trying to save them from further trauma.
So true
Agreed! Princess Anne, speaks a lot of sense.
She’s right!
I think the Queen was unjustly criticized. That was a tough time for her family and she did her best
The Queen was very vindictive to her son Prince Andrew and to her grandson Prince Harry and took away their royal titles, yet did nothing when Charles was exposed as an adulterer with Mrs Parker-Bowles, and sat back and allowed Charles to get married to Mrs Parker-Bowles afterwards. Charles should have been booted from the royal family for ridiculing them and bringing the monarchy into disrepute. Prince Andrew was unjustly punished because he was not convicted by any court of any crimes. Prince Harry was punished for wanting to live overseas with his wife and family.
Princess Anne such a remarkable soul!!! Her beauty radiats even with the heavy grief we can see she is going through 💔 Social media can do big things, let's show her how impactful she is #princessanne
Love Princesse Anne so very much. Même si on sait pas beaucoup de choses sur la Princesse j'ai toujours aimé sa façon d'être. Mes sincères condoléances Princesse. Dieu vous bénisse et apaise votre peine.
I absoloutly agree with Princess Ann my respect to you and your Family.
Well said! Princess Anne is a solid figure of Royalty always knowing her place and highly respectful of her mum. Such sadness in her face these past days. God Bless her and her family in this time of grief.
Princess Anne is absolutely right. A world in mass hysteria sought consolation from the queen, the only ones entitled to that at that time were the two princes.
The moment the Queen showed herself deeply human and normal, like any other granny, the world cried out for her to behave like Her Majesty, the Queen, citing that she should acting "human and normal." And then this loser Blair comes along and drags the kids behind the coffin.
I will always give Prince Philipp great credit for fighting for his grandchildren with Blair and not leaving their side when he lost.
That was the day when I was in favor of abolishing the monarchy, because what was being asked of the children at that time was just plain cruel. You don't do that to children. William was right not to invite this hypocrite to his wedding.
I don't want to know what comes up with Prince William and Harry when they see all the flowers laid down for the Queen and when they have to walk behind a catafalque again.
That Tony B Liar, what a bleeding Pratt! How People could put up with him for so long, is beyond me.
I absolutely agree. The boys were with their family in the vast landscape of Balmoral. They had their cousins with them. It must’ve been very frustrating for them to force on a brave face when all the strangers around were so upset and free to show their emotions.
Let’s face it most of the public breakdown was because of everyone’s own guilt at purchasing the papers that encouraged the paparazzi to hound Diana.
Absolutely right
We are so sorry you lost your Mother. She must have been a good friend to you.
I adore HRH Princess Anne! Such grit, humor and elegance!
Heart felt sadness for the loss of our Queen. She was and will continue to be a strong force for the future of UK. Forever in our memories. God bless.
Absolutely right Princess Anne.
Ex-pat in Australia - at the time, it was clear to me that HMTQ was putting the boys first. I never saw anything wrong, or "uncaring" in this decision. Once I saw headlines calling things like "we need you Ma'am" from London papers I remember thinking "don't you realise those poor boys HAVE to be the Queen's priority?". Yes, everyone was in shock and grieving but common sense and decency puts the children first. I think HMTQ explained perfectly with has speech " I talk to you today as your Queen AND as a GRANDMOTHER
So true Princess Royal.
I agree
It hurts so much to see such a queen mother gone , she will forever be in our heart my lovely friend Shafur
I agree with all she says here regarding the Queen's decision to keep the young princes in a safe environment during that time.
El amor de una abuela por sus nietos, es difícil de comprender, porque va más allá del amor por sus hijos.
Excelente palabras de la princesa!
La partida de la Reina, será por mucho tiempo irreparable, la gran mayoría de los británicos nacieron con ella como reina.
Mis condolencias a todos sus súbditos.

Si vale una abuela se muere por sus nietos, y esta no era diferente.
@@alejrhillslara1412 buenas tardes.
No literalmente, pero habla de la ocasión en que muere Diana y como la reina trata de proteger y mantener a sus nietos fuera del alboroto, priorizando las necesidades de sus nietos, por tan lamentable hecho.

Ela não passa de uma bruxa velha e mal amada que tem inveja da Diana até hoje... 😑

She’s so right, fantastic person, the Princess Royal 👏🏻 Like mother, like daughter.
Totally agree!
I totally agree. It was unfortunate that the one time the Queen put family first, she was hammered for it.
And yet Harry made things so difficult on her in her last years. Such a shame
Let it go.
Harry has a lot of baggage he has to deal with
Harry made things no more difficult than her children did...Everyone seems to forget the way all of her children caused major issues. Harry is trying to break free and have a life with a woman who is not a wilting flower and the UK shats on him for it.I like H and M very much.
@@MamaStyles then they should stay free and not have to *always* talk. The RF already gave them an opportunity for a free life, why bother having to do interviews and a podcast discussing their RF life when they chose not to be in in the first place. Lol
More than andrew
Agree 100%🇨🇦
Well said
I absolutely agree with you your Royal Highness . We were appalled by the behaviour of the public. Incredibly selfish. On top of that they demanded to see the boys too. Shocking
She is absolutely correct ❤️❤️
I agree with Anne
The single most sensible pragmatic gracious woman in the world today, Anne, gotta love her
Bless you Princess Royal you were so right RIP Your Majesty and thanks, Ma'am
I agree with her. The insanity to think anyone, who is a parent, in their right mind would have done differently.
She hated Diana 😐 Anne treated her horribly
Thanks!
She’s absolutely right the Queen was right. The press stirred up the public and created absolute hysteria.
Well said PR
I have heard the media in the past give Princess Ann a hard time, I once saw her as she passed in a car and I thought, what a kind face.
cant' have been Anne, then. She always looks grouchy
She’s the best, plain and simple. Then Edward.
