I was at home 9 pm September.9 when i see a video about what will happen if the Queen died and i went to the comment section and i tought it was a joke that they we're saying "Rest in Peace your Majesty🕊" and then i suddenly searched it up about the Queen and i was shocked
I saw it getting lowered as well and I knew Woody.EXE’s reign has started. I delivered the news of the Queen’s death to him in a personal statement and he immediately came down to my house to watch the announcements being unfolded only to proclaim me as Queen hours later and my mother as Mummy, Princess of Wales. I’ve never seen anything like it
As an American I expect it's a bit of a different view for me, however, as an avid Anglophile, I cried like a baby when Her Majesty passed. As a boy I always hoped she'd surpass Queen Victoria's length of reign. It seemed so impossible. To ME, Her Late Majesty became the WORLD'S Grandmother. May God Rest Her Soul. And May God Save the King!
@@EllPhillipThe king actually means the British people, like how in court cases instead of the people against blah blah it is the king (or crown) against blah blah.
I remember the passing of Princess Margaret,The Duchess of Snowden and just a few weeks later the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth, the Queen Mother both in 2002. Princess Margaret was 71 and Queen Elisabeth 101. I was not even a year old when Princess Diana died. I was alive for all of Queen Elisabeth ll’s reign. It was truly a sad and somber day when she passed away.
2:11 The funeral music of that logo would be fitting. And to think that she would’ve been queen consort since LAST YEAR had she survived and remained married…
I didn't own a TV when Diana died. My neighbor and i shared a balcony. He knew what a fan of Diana i was. He gently knocked on my bedroom door and slowly broke the news to me. I insisted it was just an accident. He then just stepped out of the way and i went into his apartment to see the TV. I just sat there crying for an hour or more
The death of Diana, Princess of Wales rocked the whole world, she was loved by so many, but it made the Royal Family wake up and start to take note of her people and with Tony Blair the then PM, She modernised and became more people focus. RIP all of the Royals listed here
Those ominous black suits. When I heard that the BBC anchors had changed into them, that's when I knew for certain that the Queen had died, even though it would several hours before the announcement was made.
i was being picked up from school when my now ex boyfriend texted me about her death. i can't remember which parent was pucking me up that day honestly. my memory is so bad lately lol
Being a republican. I van still have feelings for people. I feel for Charles. People still being sssholes about Diana, he loves her and didn't want to marry Diana. She like Phillip to Elizabeth is a rock to charles. Leave her the feck alone. People

I was turning 19 4 months later, I’m now 21 and very concerned for Charles, having sleepless nights over it. I didn’t think I would become Queen after Queen Elizabeth II died 23 months ago; Woody.EXE has been through hell for 24 months of his reign after losing Elizabeth II, I nearly died from a sudden illness in February 2023 and now King Charles is unwell in 2024. I hope Woody.EXE doesn’t abdicate because he’s thinking about it but I won’t let him because there has been heartbreaking rumours going around across Wales about the abdication but Woody.EXE definitely won’t be abdicating the throne anytime soon and told everyone the rumours were damn false. I can’t believe that Woody.EXE has to deal with a lot of stress from the rumours and everything
Technically, her death announcement took place in King Charles III reign. The moment she died, her reign ended and his began. Thus, the announcement will always be in the next monarch’s reign
@@somethingsmart3975 yes I believe King Charles knew instantly as soon as he had a phone call and the palace said your Majesty on the phone even though he was aware she didn't have long left. I think The Princess Royal was the only one at our late Queens bedside at that moment when all others were on their way 😢
My grandmother told me the day she saw Queen Elizabeth's coronation on TV, it was the first time she saw a real Queen. She then watched the funeral of the Queen live on TV and not long afterwards, she herself would pass away.
It was absolutely crazy timing when I found out about the Queen’s death. It was during history class. We were in the UK area in our studies that day, and we somehow got side-tracked onto the subject of the Queen. Then, my teacher brought up how her health was declining over the past few days. Then, we had lunch. After lunch, we came back to our class and we were told that the Queen died. She was truly one of the best ones out there. ❤ R.I.P
We're in Canada but we were visiting in UK and were in flight to return home. One of the flight attendants announced it. What a horrible flight this was on all kinds of levels. Just about all of us grew up with HRM and she was admired globally. Quite the role model...

I had just graduated from high school and celebrated my 18th birthday only 3 weeks before Princess Diana’s death in Paris, France. I remember getting up early to watch her funeral on TV here in the United States. The version of Candle In The Wind that Sir Elton John sang became a smash hit and I ended up buying the single. Her funeral introduced me to his music and in a way, the history of the royal family.
Mummy was 18 just 2 weeks before Diana died and little did she know she’d become Princess of Wales just weeks after her 43rd birthday. It was Woody.EXE who decided this and she’s been Princess of Wales for one year now, on that tragic Thursday night, it was totally unexpected but Mummy deserved the title from the start of 2021 when the Queen became sick, Mummy even knew it then
*HM, HRH stands for His/Her Royal Highness and HM stands for Her/His Majesty, HM is used by the monarch, HRH is used by those of a child, grandchild of a monarch or a grandchild of the heir to the throne, however royals can opt to having there children to have those titles, HRH
Since 1972, I can recall watching the death announcements of Lady/Princess Patricia Ramsay and Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, in 1974; Lord/Prince Louis, Earl Mountbatten of Burma in 1979; Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, in 1981; and Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, in 2004. Don't any of these get a look-in?
Very valid points, particularly when you consider that the Duchess of Windsor was never a Royal and Diana, Princess of Wales was not a Royal at the time of her death and therefore they should not have been included in this video.
That's true. My Dad was 9 when she became Queen. It was interesting to actually LIVE through rhis after seeing all those telly programmes about qhat will happen when the Queen dies.
I really think it's neat how this same family has been followed for centuries and even a millennium. Normally, you wouldn't know any of your ancestors from 927 AD.
He was absolutely a royal, a cousin to the Queen. first uncle to the late Duke of Edinburgh, and a descendant of Queen Victoria through the Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine, Alice who was Victoria's daughter.
I was 19 years old when I heard the news of the passing of the Queen. I'm from Australia, it was the morning of September 9th, I woke up and I reached over to grab my phone and the moment I turned it on I had an Apple News alert popped up say the Queen has died and I just gasped out loud and my family were in complete shock. It was raining that day and I was driving to work with my sunglasses on and the radio was playing countless reports of the Queen's passing and I couldn't stop crying all the way to work. When I arrived at the Bunnings Warehouse store where I work at I could see all my friends in shock and in tears throughout the whole day and our manager decided to turn off the music in the store and announced on the intercom for all of us to have a moment of silence to pay tribute and respect to the Queen.
I was 17 at that time, and I heard the news on the 9th at 12 am, I was scrolling Instagram suddenly a German page showed many photos of EIIR, then I searched her name on Google and got the news. It was such a piece of devastating news for me and I literally cried and could not control myself. It was like I had lost someone of mine, a vacancy was suddenly created. However on that day when the doctors announced that her health was not ok, I was not shocked and at an immediate moment, the thought that she would leave us came to my mind. The day was gloomy and at night I got the news.
@@leeosborne3793 This was because she was in many of our lives for such a long time, a Queen who many of us looked upto and she gave the feeling like she was a grandmother of the country and the common wealth. She was always there for us with her beautiful speeches that we call relate to. I know there some anti monarchists but may we carry on our traditions. When she passed I personally felt like I had lost a member of my family ❤😢
@@ajtommo I've got better things to spend my emotional energy on, to be honest. She was never "in my life" and I find the lives of astounding privilege and wealth the royals lead to be grossly offensive. They don't lead or represent me at all.

I remember thinking "It must be so hard for the UK to go back to the national anthem being "God Save The King" after it was "God Save The Queen" for 70 years." ABC was the first US news outlet to announce it after BBC did so in the UK.
It was a very poignant moment at the end of the funeral when the national anthem played and everyone realised they had to make the change to the new lyrics. I recall watching Charles and Camilla's faces and thought how they must have felt in that moment.
In my house watching TV when HM The Queen's death was announced. I'm 32 so she was a constant figure of growing up in the UK, and I admit, I cried my eyes out. It's part and parcel of being a healthcare professional because we deal with death all the time but aren't meant to cry in front of people, so we carry these emotions and I think hearing that HM the Queen passed was a shock and tears were all I could express
When I found out that the Queen died, I was on my way to work on the 2 train. I don’t remember what stop was next, but I remember announcing to the passengers in my traincar, "London Bridge is down, the Queen has died."
Diana was still young and in excellent health and died suddenly The rest were up there in age and/or had severe health problems or both for a long time before they passed on
That day when Queen Elizabeth passed, I was in Rio de Janeiro, for the Rock in Rio music festival. I woke up quiet late, that day, around 1:30 pm when a friend of mine txt me saying “London Bridge is down”. Immediately I switched on my telly on BBC News and they were still concerned about her health. The confirmation of HM’s death came one hour later - at 2:33 pm local time - from Huw Edwards. When the national anthem was executed, afterwards, I stand up from my sofa and sang “God Save The King”. 😢 I’ll never forget that day.
I remember going on my phone as every normal lunch time but the text from Woody.EXE was very alarming saying “Queen Elizabeth II is unwell, it’s not looking good” I just had a minute to try and take it all in. Then I immediately messaged her back saying “I guess I’m Queen now?” I still have the messages from that day a year ago and I cry looked back knowing I was already Queen at 12:40. Then I immediately called my mother and she remembers me crying as I announced the news to her about the late Queen and she became Mummy, Princess of Wales later that Thursday night
I remember being woken up at 5am on a Friday morning by my dad calling from the US (I lived in NZ) saying "did you hear the news?" I went online and it showed the Queen's death...i didnt know she was sick and i was in total shock, wore all black to work in her honor God save the Queen 🇬🇧🇳🇿
I was in college lunch break when her health was declining and then, Wody.EXE randomly messaged me about it because my sister had told him to message the news down and I remember saying “you got to be kidding me?!” He knows how much I loved the Queen so he decided to announce it. Woody.EXE never wanted to do this but he just knew he had too. My college tutor Sophie allowed me to go home an hour early than we usually do and she said “keep me updated and I’ll be thinking of you” and I went home early to be with Woody.EXE and my sister who were gathered together already waiting for Mummy to come home so we could be altogether during this moment. At exactly 6:30 on that tragic Thursday, the Queens death was sadly announced and Mummy became Princess of Wales and I was already Queen Elizabeth III. I only screaming “No not the Queen, I thought she’d make it to Friday but NOPE!” I went to tell my 2009 Woody what’s happening and even he couldn’t believe it. I stayed up all night having the news on in the background so I didn’t miss anything. The grief from Woody was probably the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced since he adored the late Queen and all 5 of us hardly slept until the funeral was over. I was only 20 then
My whole heart went out to Martine Croxall on her emotional announcement concerning the death of HRH, The Prince Philip. You could see she was emotionally moved, trying to hold it together. And how did the BBC reward her emotion and devotion? Subsequently, with the sack...Simply outrageous, and the Beeb should hang their collective heads in shame! Simply vile behaviour!
When Queen Elizabeth died last year:I was stunned and saddened by the news, I couldn’t really wrap my head around the fact she was gone forever and Charles was officially the king of the United Kingdom.
I was bell ringing at a feast of a town in Malta. I remember reading that her health was deteriorating earlier that day and then read that she passed away after a peal. It was the Victory Day of my country Malta, and the feast of Our Lady of Victories (The feast for which I was bell ringing). I will never forget that day.
@@veggie42 Queen Diana, Official Goodwill Ambassador of the British Royal Family!!!!!!!!! Queen Diana, would’ve massively outshone her husband; King Charles Yet, in this timeline, we’re left pondering on what could’ve been
In the UK, I guess not many of us can say we saw and heard the first news report in Diana’s death but, I was one. I came in from a night out clubbing at about 3am, switched on the telly whilst I made self something to eat and watched the news turn from seriously injured in a car crash to died.
Yes i woke up early and heard the same on world service and radio 4 interrupted i was so shocked i rang my mum i jad onky just talked to my ex from wales the night before and heard she had died a shocker that she hadnt worn a seatbelt. I cannot fathom why Harry hasnt done any speeding or seatbelt campaign
I can still recall where I was when I hear about Queen Elizabeth. I heard it almost as soon as Britan learned of, I have a friend who live within London and she told us the moment it happened. We are most likely to go through this again once Charles passes, but... it was almost surreal about the whole thing.
HM Queen Elizabeth ii is a monumental death of the 21st Century ya Charles and William and even George will eventually pass but nothing from the royal family will hit as hard as the Queen did for a while.
She was not the first! They played God Save the King on BBC and CBC Radios (and others, most likely) after George V's and VI's deaths, and I believe on the TV for George VI's where TV was on the air in the Commonwealth. There was simply no way to record those events at the time.
@sboudreaux27 well, owing to his circumstances (having abdicated, seen as quite shameful in the British royal system), it would’ve been seen as an innapropriate measure probably.
I never knew that until now, at least Woody.EXE agreed to have this happen when I’m no longer here and I would be his Queen by then. I dread him reigning on without me
@@evaharrison1733shameful yes. But just think, if he hadn't abdicated we would never had the most respected and dignified and longest reigning monarch. Simpson wouldn't have given Edward an heir so it makes you wonder how things would have been
Wasn’t there a controversy when the Queen Mother passed, that the BBC presenter did not have a black tie to wear when he made the announcement. Now they keep black ties (for male presenters) and a black blazer (for women) on hand if there is an announcement to be made.
Yes the Late Peter Sissons had a Maroon tie on. It wasn't as if it was a gaudy tie . It was quite appropriate actually. I wouldn't have noticed if such a fuss hadn't been made of it.
3:51 Here for Princess Margaret death Announcement News. Sadly Is Short Her Death Announcement And Without Anthem "God Save Queen ". And Is a Original.
When the queen's death was announced, i was gasped and couldn't believe that she was died. For a moment i thought it was a hoax until i saw BBC interrupting the program, announcing the death of her majesty the queen. I was in shock, really devastated at that time. And it's been almost a year after she passed away, but whenever this news shows up in my youtube feed i keep recalling the moment. Rest in Peace.
Umm...she was 96 and her husband,who was 99, died 17 months prior so her passing was not entirely unexpected. It seems that couples who have been married for decades one spouse passes away and the other dies within a few months.
It’s insane Britain & American have the same tune playing in that song at 3:07 I’m American & when I heard she was hours from death I thought this isn’t true. She’s always been there. Somehow we look at royal families like omg they exist…Then when she passed away it was like when Betty White died…You knew it was coming but didn’t ever really expect it to happen.
There are rumours surrounding the exact circumstances of Prince Philip's death. Apparently, it was more sudden than we were told - a 'source' claims he had gone to the toilet in the early hours of the morning and, while being escorted back to bed by his nurse, complained of feeling faint and then collapsed. The Queen was asleep and wasn't made aware until she had woken. Just a reminder that this is all rumour.
@@caz3502 6:17- 'It is with great sorrow that Her Majesty announces the death of her beloved husband. . .' as per royal protocol means that she was WITH him at the time it happened instead of in another part of the Castle at the time' it was announced TO Her Majesty' or another place altogether 'Buckingham Palace announces the death of.. '. Hence, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that she was with him when he left this world at age 99 (having known him from the time he was an 18-year-old naval cadet and she was a thirteen-year-old princess).
I don't think that's how it happened. Sophie (Edward's wife, now the Duchess of Edinburgh) said that he passed away peacefully with the Queen by his side. So more likely than not his health had just rapidly deteriorated and everyone knew that it was time.

A fact that makes my skin crawl was I was JUST talking to my coworker about the royal family (ex. Diana and how the royal family treated her) because she was on my phone case and we stroked up a convo and my coworker turned around and said “I can’t imagine if the Queen died if she would get that kind of treatment” and on my life not 5 mins later they announced she died on national tv in the break room. Till this day I get hybie jeebies
We've taken the stability the Queen provided for granted. Some people complain about the Monarchy, but it's hard to argue with success. Not just in Great Britain, but in over a dozen other Commonwealth Realms using the Westminster System of Constitutional Monarchy, you find what? Peaceful transition of power, different peoples united rather than warring, and a head of state who represents EVERYONE, not just one nationality or another - these are essential ingredients which don't just magically happen, and which we've forgotten to value.
i was in my language class when my teacher looked onto her watch and said "oh... the queen died." i thought she was talking about her watch dying until 5 minutes later when the bell rang and everyone started talking abt it
I remember that day perfectly. In bed with COVID, my partner and i were reduced to tears. I've spent almost all my adult life in service to the Crown, and it was never spoken of that Her Majesty may some day pass on. That day came too soon sadly.
It breaks my heart that one day William and Catherine and possibly their children will be announced. Obviously this is only natural because that is how life works but we have grown up watching William and his children and his marriage to Catherine has been every where. It was so incredibly hard to watch the Queen's funeral and when Charles passes and then Camilla it will just be so hard because I have grown up watching their lives. I don't know them personally but we see them all of the time. Royalists regard them highly and even as an American they are a great symbol of the United Kingdom. I know I will get mean comments on this and I don't care. It will be sad and I don't look forward to any one of them. Anne, Edward...their families any of them. God Bless the Royal House of Windsor. Long may it reign.
You're not alone, I hope to live and see them become King and Queen, we feel this way probably because with social media, we can even go into their lives every other day, I'm not fan of famous people, but this family is one I love seeing, so yes it will be sad for many, let's hope for the best. 🤴👸 🫅👸🫅
Even if King Edward would have been allowed to keep reigning while married to Simpson. Queen Elizabeth would have taken over in 1977. Still, way better that she took the Crown, since as we now all know, he had really "weird" allies on the Nazi party. 😮
I would think you should have included Lord Louis Mountbatten, Elizabeth II's second cousin and Phillip's uncle and mentor, who was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army on August 27, 1979. They blew up his yacht, killing him and several others. It was a devastating event for the Royal Family.
I remember Diana onward. I can tell you what I was doing when the news broke. ETA: I was 16, this was after TWA and I just thought “Oh not another plane crash, please!” First it was she was in a car accident, I was watching Dr Quinn Medicine woman and the episode was called “Colleen’s Paper.” A week later Sister Teresa passed away and remember my mom saying “Diana was no saint compared to Mother Teresa.” I have learned more about the Royal Family as I got older. I am a descendant of Robert the Bruce (19 great-grandpa) and QEII is a distant cousin.
Because Prince (of the United Kingdom) Was his title Aside The Duke of Edinburgh. It is just like when you say HM The Queen Elizabeth II. But i could be wrong with the explanation.
I am not sure why but using the definite article indicates a higher status. So Prince William actually became The Prince William when his father became king, and technically Harry would be The Prince Henry as the son of a monarch. However as William became the Prince of Wales within a day or so, his title became the POW, so he was only The Prince William for a day or so. Because of Harry’s circumstances he may have elected not use his title as The Prince Henry.
@@racheldemain1940 I am not sure what you mean - The Prince Philip is a higher status than just Prince Philip. It had nothing to with him being a consort. The Queen had it within her gift to create whatever title she chose. If you look at Wikipedia articles on the royals, the articles often set out each royal’s title and styles as they progress through life and their circumstances change. When their parent becomes monarch a royal’s style changes to The Prince or The Princess. Look up Queen Elizabeth II, and you will see from Dec 1936 until she became the Duchess of Edinburgh in 1947 her style was the Princess Elizabeth. Then her style became the Princess Elizabeth, the Duchess of Edinburgh Besides all of which, Prince Philip was of Blood Royal - he was of the royal houses of Greece and Denmark. So he was Prince Philip until he married the Princess Elizabeth. On marriage he renounced his foreign royal titles and was created the Duke of Edinburgh, but he wasn’t given the style of prince. So he was HRH Sir Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen then returned the style of Prince to him in the late 1950s, but gave him the higher status of The Prince Philip.
It gives the higher status to the title. Such as when Queen Elizabeth II became Queen there were 3 living Queens. Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen mother and Queen Elizabeth II. Hence the use of The Queen for Elizabeth II. Whilst at the time I don't think there were any other Prince Philips in the RF the definate article will raise Prince Philip above the others.

The illness trauma is still very valid and i have moments where i randomly start lashing out and he totally understands because he’s witnessed it all happening. I honestly don’t know how Woody.EXE could recover so quickly but deep down I don’t think he’ll ever recover. We both have gone through hell ever since Queen Elizabeth died
After all the historical figures of England in the 20th and 21st century passed away and after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of the century, England is no longer the same, it has gone out.

i was being picked up from school when my now ex boyfriend texted me about her death. i can't remember which parent was pucking me up that day honestly. my memory is so bad lately lol
Being a republican. I van still have feelings for people. I feel for Charles. People still being sssholes about Diana, he loves her and didn't want to marry Diana. She like Phillip to Elizabeth is a rock to charles. Leave her the feck alone. People
Lmao... Charles never ever loved Diana. The moment they got married, the only purpose she served for him was to produce an heir and a spare

I was turning 19 4 months later, I’m now 21 and very concerned for Charles, having sleepless nights over it. I didn’t think I would become Queen after Queen Elizabeth II died 23 months ago; Woody.EXE has been through hell for 24 months of his reign after losing Elizabeth II, I nearly died from a sudden illness in February 2023 and now King Charles is unwell in 2024. I hope Woody.EXE doesn’t abdicate because he’s thinking about it but I won’t let him because there has been heartbreaking rumours going around across Wales about the abdication but Woody.EXE definitely won’t be abdicating the throne anytime soon and told everyone the rumours were damn false. I can’t believe that Woody.EXE has to deal with a lot of stress from the rumours and everything
What about Princess Margaret??

To think that all of these deaths took place during Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
Technically, her death announcement took place in King Charles III reign. The moment she died, her reign ended and his began. Thus, the announcement will always be in the next monarch’s reign
It even happened as Woody.EXE and I started our reign of 80 years. Woody.EXE was absolutely devastated, 9 months on and still not over it

I was sitting on the toilet.
My grandmother told me the day she saw Queen Elizabeth's coronation on TV, it was the first time she saw a real Queen. She then watched the funeral of the Queen live on TV and not long afterwards, she herself would pass away.

It was absolutely crazy timing when I found out about the Queen’s death. It was during history class. We were in the UK area in our studies that day, and we somehow got side-tracked onto the subject of the Queen. Then, my teacher brought up how her health was declining over the past few days. Then, we had lunch. After lunch, we came back to our class and we were told that the Queen died.
She was truly one of the best ones out there. ❤

I had just graduated from high school and celebrated my 18th birthday only 3 weeks before Princess Diana’s death in Paris, France. I remember getting up early to watch her funeral on TV here in the United States. The version of Candle In The Wind that Sir Elton John sang became a smash hit and I ended up buying the single. Her funeral introduced me to his music and in a way, the history of the royal family.
Mummy was 18 just 2 weeks before Diana died and little did she know she’d become Princess of Wales just weeks after her 43rd birthday. It was Woody.EXE who decided this and she’s been Princess of Wales for one year now, on that tragic Thursday night, it was totally unexpected but Mummy deserved the title from the start of 2021 when the Queen became sick, Mummy even knew it then

Don't any of these get a look-in?

Very valid points, particularly when you consider that the Duchess of Windsor was never a Royal and Diana, Princess of Wales was not a Royal at the time of her death and therefore they should not have been included in this video.
For a majority of people she was the only Queen they had ever known.
I felt the same when Pope John Paul died, I was 11 when he was elected.
That's true. My Dad was 9 when she became Queen. It was interesting to actually LIVE through rhis after seeing all those telly programmes about qhat will happen when the Queen dies.
I really think it's neat how this same family has been followed for centuries and even a millennium. Normally, you wouldn't know any of your ancestors from 927 AD.

I was 19 years old when I heard the news of the passing of the Queen. I'm from Australia, it was the morning of September 9th, I woke up and I reached over to grab my phone and the moment I turned it on I had an Apple News alert popped up say the Queen has died and I just gasped out loud and my family were in complete shock. It was raining that day and I was driving to work with my sunglasses on and the radio was playing countless reports of the Queen's passing and I couldn't stop crying all the way to work. When I arrived at the Bunnings Warehouse store where I work at I could see all my friends in shock and in tears throughout the whole day and our manager decided to turn off the music in the store and announced on the intercom for all of us to have a moment of silence to pay tribute and respect to the Queen.
Womp womp
Why would anybody be shocked by
the death of a 99 year old?
I was 17 at that time, and I heard the news on the 9th at 12 am, I was scrolling Instagram suddenly a German page showed many photos of EIIR, then I searched her name on Google and got the news. It was such a piece of devastating news for me and I literally cried and could not control myself. It was like I had lost someone of mine, a vacancy was suddenly created. However on that day when the doctors announced that her health was not ok, I was not shocked and at an immediate moment, the thought that she would leave us came to my mind.

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR PRINCESS MARGARET'S DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT
It was there
I remember thinking "It must be so hard for the UK to go back to the national anthem being "God Save The King" after it was "God Save The Queen" for 70 years." ABC was the first US news outlet to announce it after BBC did so in the UK.
We're British, we nailed it!
Was it hard? I'm not from the uk so I don't know
It was a very poignant moment at the end of the funeral when the national anthem played and everyone realised they had to make the change to the new lyrics. I recall watching Charles and Camilla's faces and thought how they must have felt in that moment.
@@caz3502 You rocked it!
@@barsbay7598 Idk, but I am Scottish and Canadian, so I'm saying yes.
In my house watching TV when HM The Queen's death was announced. I'm 32 so she was a constant figure of growing up in the UK, and I admit, I cried my eyes out. It's part and parcel of being a healthcare professional because we deal with death all the time but aren't meant to cry in front of people, so we carry these emotions and I think hearing that HM the Queen passed was a shock and tears were all I could express
When I found out that the Queen died, I was on my way to work on the 2 train. I don’t remember what stop was next, but I remember announcing to the passengers in my traincar, "London Bridge is down, the Queen has died."
Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth 11 ,Diana princess of Wales, and the Queen mother,and Prince Philip , and Princess Margaret may they rest in peace ❤️

What about Mountbatten ?
'Peacefully' is a figure of speech.
Diana was still young and in excellent health and died suddenly
The rest were up there in age and/or had severe health problems or both for a long time before they passed on

That day when Queen Elizabeth passed, I was in Rio de Janeiro, for the Rock in Rio music festival. I woke up quiet late, that day, around 1:30 pm when a friend of mine txt me saying “London Bridge is down”. Immediately I switched on my telly on BBC News and they were still concerned about her health. The confirmation of HM’s death came one hour later - at 2:33 pm local time - from Huw Edwards. When the national anthem was executed, afterwards, I stand up from my sofa and sang “God Save The King”. 😢 I’ll never forget that day.
I remember going on my phone as every normal lunch time but the text from Woody.EXE was very alarming saying “Queen Elizabeth II is unwell, it’s not looking good” I just had a minute to try and take it all in. Then I immediately messaged her back saying “I guess I’m Queen now?” I still have the messages from that day a year ago and I cry looked back knowing I was already Queen at 12:40. Then I immediately called my mother and she remembers me crying as I announced the news to her about the late Queen and she became Mummy, Princess of Wales later that Thursday night

God save the Queen 🇬🇧🇳🇿
I was in college lunch break when her health was declining and then, Wody.EXE randomly messaged me about it because my sister had told him to message the news down and I remember saying “you got to be kidding me?!” He knows how much I loved the Queen so he decided to announce it. Woody.EXE never wanted to do this but he just knew he had too. My college tutor Sophie allowed me to go home an hour early than we usually do and she said “keep me updated and I’ll be thinking of you” and I went home early to be with Woody.EXE and my sister who were gathered together already waiting for Mummy to come home so we could be altogether during this moment. At exactly 6:30 on that tragic Thursday, the Queens death was sadly announced and Mummy became Princess of Wales and I was already Queen Elizabeth III. I only screaming “No not the Queen, I thought she’d make it to Friday but NOPE!” I went to tell my 2009 Woody what’s happening and even he couldn’t believe it. I stayed up all night having the news on in the background so I didn’t miss anything. The grief from Woody was probably the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced since he adored the late Queen and all 5 of us hardly slept until the funeral was over. I was only 20 then
My whole heart went out to Martine Croxall on her emotional announcement concerning the death of HRH, The Prince Philip. You could see she was emotionally moved, trying to hold it together. And how did the BBC reward her emotion and devotion? Subsequently, with the sack...Simply outrageous, and the Beeb should hang their collective heads in shame! Simply vile behaviour!
When Queen Elizabeth died last year:I was stunned and saddened by the news, I couldn’t really wrap my head around the fact she was gone forever and Charles was officially the king of the United Kingdom.
First time he said ‘The King’, it somehow felt strange and not right
I was bell ringing at a feast of a town in Malta. I remember reading that her health was deteriorating earlier that day and then read that she passed away after a peal. It was the Victory Day of my country Malta, and the feast of Our Lady of Victories (The feast for which I was bell ringing). I will never forget that day.

I can still recall where I was when I hear about Queen Elizabeth. I heard it almost as soon as Britan learned of, I have a friend who live within London and she told us the moment it happened. We are most likely to go through this again once Charles passes, but... it was almost surreal about the whole thing.
HM Queen Elizabeth ii is a monumental death of the 21st Century ya Charles and William and even George will eventually pass but nothing from the royal family will hit as hard as the Queen did for a while.
I remember where i was on Sept 11 2001 so many lives lost and still peaple today dying from the effects, god bless them 🙏
I find it so fascinating that Diana was the first royal family member to receive the anthem god save the queen after their death announcement
She was not the first! They played God Save the King on BBC and CBC Radios (and others, most likely) after George V's and VI's deaths, and I believe on the TV for George VI's where TV was on the air in the Commonwealth. There was simply no way to record those events at the time.
@sboudreaux27 well, owing to his circumstances (having abdicated, seen as quite shameful in the British royal system), it would’ve been seen as an innapropriate measure probably.

And it's been almost a year after she passed away, but whenever this news shows up in my youtube feed i keep recalling the moment. Rest in Peace.
Umm...she was 96 and her husband,who was 99, died 17 months prior so her passing was not entirely unexpected. It seems that couples who have been married for decades one spouse passes away and the other dies within a few months.
It’s insane Britain & American have the same tune playing in that song at 3:07 I’m American & when I heard she was hours from death I thought this isn’t true. She’s always been there. Somehow we look at royal families like omg they exist…Then when she passed away it was like when Betty White died…You knew it was coming but didn’t ever really expect it to happen.

There are rumours surrounding the exact circumstances of Prince Philip's death. Apparently, it was more sudden than we were told - a 'source' claims he had gone to the toilet in the early hours of the morning and, while being escorted back to bed by his nurse, complained of feeling faint and then collapsed. The Queen was asleep and wasn't made aware until she had woken.
Just a reminder that this is all rumour.
So we'll take no notice of it
@@caz3502 6:17- 'It is with great sorrow that Her Majesty announces the death of her beloved husband. . .' as per royal protocol means that she was WITH him at the time it happened instead of in another part of the Castle at the time' it was announced TO Her Majesty' or another place altogether 'Buckingham Palace announces the death of.. '. Hence, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that she was with him when he left this world at age 99 (having known him from the time he was an 18-year-old naval cadet and she was a thirteen-year-old princess).
I don't think that's how it happened. Sophie (Edward's wife, now the Duchess of Edinburgh) said that he passed away peacefully with the Queen by his side. So more likely than not his health had just rapidly deteriorated and everyone knew that it was time.

We've taken the stability the Queen provided for granted. Some people complain about the Monarchy, but it's hard to argue with success. Not just in Great Britain, but in over a dozen other Commonwealth Realms using the Westminster System of Constitutional Monarchy, you find what? Peaceful transition of power, different peoples united rather than warring, and a head of state who represents EVERYONE, not just one nationality or another - these are essential ingredients which don't just magically happen, and which we've forgotten to value.

RIP TO THESE people 😢
It breaks my heart that one day William and Catherine and possibly their children will be announced. Obviously this is only natural because that is how life works but we have grown up watching William and his children and his marriage to Catherine has been every where. It was so incredibly hard to watch the Queen's funeral and when Charles passes and then Camilla it will just be so hard because I have grown up watching their lives. I don't know them personally but we see them all of the time. Royalists regard them highly and even as an American they are a great symbol of the United Kingdom. I know I will get mean comments on this and I don't care. It will be sad and I don't look forward to any one of them. Anne, Edward...their families any of them. God Bless the Royal House of Windsor. Long may it reign.
You're not alone, I hope to live and see them become King and Queen, we feel this way probably because with social media, we can even go into their lives every other day, I'm not fan of famous people, but this family is one I love seeing, so yes it will be sad for many, let's hope for the best.

I remember Diana onward. I can tell you what I was doing when the news broke.
ETA: I was 16, this was after TWA and I just thought “Oh not another plane crash, please!” First it was she was in a car accident, I was watching Dr Quinn Medicine woman and the episode was called “Colleen’s Paper.” A week later Sister Teresa passed away and remember my mom saying “Diana was no saint compared to Mother Teresa.” I have learned more about the Royal Family as I got older. I am a descendant of Robert the Bruce (19 great-grandpa) and QEII is a distant cousin.
Can I ask why Prince Phillip was known as THE Prince Phillip? That puzzles me
Because Prince (of the United Kingdom) Was his title Aside The Duke of Edinburgh.
It is just like when you say HM The Queen Elizabeth II.
But i could be wrong with the explanation.
I am not sure why but using the definite article indicates a higher status. So Prince William actually became The Prince William when his father became king, and technically Harry would be The Prince Henry as the son of a monarch. However as William became the Prince of Wales within a day or so, his title became the POW, so he was only The Prince William for a day or so. Because of Harry’s circumstances he may have elected not use his title as The Prince Henry.
@@brontewcat he was the Consort and not a blood royal so that is the correct address for him
@@racheldemain1940 I am not sure what you mean - The Prince Philip is a higher status than just Prince Philip. It had nothing to with him being a consort. The Queen had it within her gift to create whatever title she chose.
If you look at Wikipedia articles on the royals, the articles often set out each royal’s title and styles as they progress through life and their circumstances change. When their parent becomes monarch a royal’s style changes to The Prince or The Princess. Look up Queen Elizabeth II, and you will see from Dec 1936 until she became the Duchess of Edinburgh in 1947 her style was the Princess Elizabeth. Then her style became the Princess Elizabeth, the Duchess of Edinburgh
Besides all of which, Prince Philip was of Blood Royal - he was of the royal houses of Greece and Denmark. So he was Prince Philip until he married the Princess Elizabeth. On marriage he renounced his foreign royal titles and was created the Duke of Edinburgh, but he wasn’t given the style of prince. So he was HRH Sir Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen then returned the style of Prince to him in the late 1950s, but gave him the higher status of The Prince Philip.
It gives the higher status to the title. Such as when Queen Elizabeth II became Queen there were 3 living Queens. Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen mother and Queen Elizabeth II. Hence the use of The Queen for Elizabeth II.
Whilst at the time I don't think there were any other Prince Philips in the RF the definate article will raise Prince Philip above the others.
I was at my old apt and sept 8,2022. When she died of long illness and I was at home with Pepsi my emotional support cat and he cuddled up with me. Diana i was Assintion place. And I and Dori crying 😭😂. She was are cousin Diana 😡🤬😱.
I'm surprised Lord Mountbatten (27 Aug 1979) wasn't included.
I just watched this video and made a similar comment before scrolling through the comment section . Not copying you just coincidence . Also glad someone else remembers him .
Wait he was part of the royal family...i mean he was the duke of Edimburg uncle...i don't know about the royal family im from south america
@@tacituskilgore5372 Lord Mountbatten was the late Queen's cousin .
@@robertclark2253 hum...i never knew
I know that I will ever forget where I was when I heard about the death of Princess Diana or the Queen. May they all rest in peace.
I was almost 25 when our queen Elizabeth ll died
I was 20 when she passed and I became very ill 5 months later. I survived my illness in 2023 feeling healthier than ever. I was amazed by how right Woody.EXE was about grief can make you pretty sick and this was what exactly i went through. The illness trauma is still very valid and i have moments where i randomly start lashing out and he totally understands because he’s witnessed it all happening. I honestly don’t know how Woody.EXE could recover so quickly but deep down I don’t think he’ll ever recover. We both have gone through hell ever since Queen Elizabeth died
After all the historical figures of England in the 20th and 21st century passed away and after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of the century, England is no longer the same, it has gone out.
Just England??? Maybe really The United Kingdom !!
@@wardenblack9734 ohhhhh yes👏👏👏
That's because it's full of illegals. We're losing our traditions and identity
I will never forget watching the coverage when Diana was in the crash and then the finality of the announcement saying she had died at the hospital. I had never cried over the death of someone I never met but did for days.
I was in school at the Falkland Islands when we found out, it first started as rumours then everyone was shortly announced.
Ah, you were in Argentina.
@@dnhy7951 I haven’t been to Argentina before because they don’t do direct flights from Falklands to Argentina
@@brickistic8188 You seem to be missing my point.
@@dnhy7951 Argentina hasn’t been to friendly as of recently, they have allowed family of the soldiers who passed to come and grieve in the Falklands but refuse to bring the remains back to Argentina
Funny, me and my neighbours just so happened to have been talking about Diana on that very day when the news reported that the Queen had passed away. All of our phones buzzed at the same time and we were like "HUH."
