Queen Elizabeth 11 treated her cousins so wonderful.She provided them financially and make them working royals.
Only because her grandfather made sure of it!
Tell Prince William of Gloucester that. Oh yeah. You can't.
You don’t know that
@@Nina-xo555 duke of Kent,duke of Gloucester and princess Alexandra all get allowances from the civil list and out of grace residences at Kensington palace.
@@salmahkadir8422 The Gloucester s moved back to Barnwell Hall according to an article I read recently.
Princess Alexandra is my favorite royal. There's some kind of inner light and warmth in her that make her special.

I don't use to answer to ignorant people, but ... I'm in the mood today:
"Favorite and favourite are both correct spellings, depending on whether you use American or British spelling standards. Favorite is preferred in American English, while favourite is preferred in British English."
@@alemar5810i don’t usually* if you say ‘use’ that means you NEVER do respond🥰
The sixties were such a good era for fashion. Everyone looked spectacular here.
I remember watching this wedding on TV. It was my second royal wedding. I am the same age as Princess Anne and followed her life. I loved that she was a bridesmaid. I felt that Princess Alexandra looked glorious
O
Do you watch videos of Jim Nduruchi
Yes. That gown is gorgeous. I love princess Anne as well. She is so devoted to her duties but so kind to people.
@@irenedavo3768 not important
Princess Alexandra is a hard-working, globe-trotting princess, going to functions, lavish or insignificant. MBEs or poor villagers, she greets every one of them with respect. Hong Kong newspaper wrote, "Princess has left the pier, but her smile lingers." "Prettiest woman in England." Everywhere she went, people were awestruck by her beauty, her class, her presence, and her kindness. 💕
Now here she is, widowed, but still doing her duty. A very great lady.
And still beautiful.
@@sazzieb1 Absolutely.
Yes, lovely.
I love wedding because the Holy GOD made it the first wedding was adam and eve 😍
Pm
I was 6 years old when I watched this wedding on tv and I’ve never forgotten it, so it clearly impressed me.
She's one of best member of The Royal Family.
I just wish she would get more of the tecognition that we know she deserves
Absolutely! The complete embodiment of grace, class, beauty, and devotion to duty.
Angus Ogilvy was spectacularly good-looking.
he looks handsome
That voice as well
LOL I've always thought he was a quite unattractive looking person. And he didn't get better with age. I never could see why on earth she married him.
@@SR-iy4gg I never thought he was physically attractive either. However, I assumed that he must have had other traits to which Alexandra was attracted. Perhaps he was kind, intelligent, attentive, etc. I am so glad that they are said to have had a happy union.
@@SR-iy4gg moi aussi lol
Princess Alexandra is surely the most beautiful member of the Royal family. She has maintained her good looks into her eighties.
Fascinating history, and lovely to see HM The Queen Mother (feathers and sparkle, as usual), Princess Margaret, Princess Marina, Princess Anne (always very organised), young Prince Charles, and the Queen and Prince Phillip in their prime. Great post. Angus Ogilvy was a fine-looking man.
You should see their children, so good looking like the parents.
@@thezmanchar their grandchildren are really good looking too
Some of the hats were amazing. Wish the cameras lingered a bit longer to get good view of outfits and hats.
I remember watching this live, as I’ve tried to do with all royal weddings, she is so elegant, and aren’t most of the guests beautifully dressed also. Love the hats!
Especially their hats
I especially liked Princess Margaret's unusual updo!
You must be 100 now
@@ednan9 I’m going to be 79 at the end of this month; you’re not very good at arithmetic!
@@maxinejacobson4006 - You tell them!🤣😂. These young urns are useless at maths without a calculator in front of them🤣😂
These narrators were something else.
Clipped accent
@@melgrant7404more the theatrical way that they put everything
@@comet1227 indeed so
I love these old times. Before I was born. The ladies were so elegant. Certainly more elegant dress than we see today.
I always remember her wedding dress being made from Lancashire Cotton. The best cotton in the World.
She was loyal to her Country.
Elegant and classy and no bare flesh . Beautiful.
And without pseudo-celebrities of music, TV and football...
I will never understand the naked brides.
I like Princess Alexandra too. Never showry or look at me Princess. 👍🏽British Pathe' Thank you xo
Pure elegance
Beautiful couple, and beautiful wedding.
She is so like her mother
I was there in London - so exciting to see a royal wedding.
Beautiful bride and well dressed.
Saw this amazing dress at Kensington palace in the early 70,s. Angela
Absolutely exquisite in life, princess Alexandra 👏👏👏
💖🕊 - Princess Alexandra is my favorite royal. 🍀🌹🍀There's some kind of inner light and warmth in her that make her special.A very great lady. 👑Absolutely LADY exquisite princess Alexandra!🙏🎼🎶
Gone are the days of class and elegance. As a kid of the commonwealth I still today shine elegantly and classy for church and every special event.I smile sometimes when I look at these old videos and wonder if these people copy my hats and dresses😂😂😂😂😂
Very true. I wish I could afford these sorts of clothes.
You go girl!! 👋 Go shine!
@@audspod1 Thank you!!❤
Beautiful wedding dress!
Wow! I wasn't born when this occasion happened 🇬🇧. I love hearing about royalties.
I'm 2 years younger than Princess Alexander and so watched her wedding with great interest... she was such a lovely quietly beautiful and sincere lady.. in this clip it was lovely to see the young king Charles with his grandmother and his sister Anne as bridesmaid... a lovely trip down memory lane!
A world of beautiful people ; those were the days.
What a scream, Ann instructing the couple to proceed! 13 and in charge!
Yes, I saw that too ! The bossy one !
I remember watching the BBC broadcast of the wedding, with Richard Dimbleby commentating. I loved the piping by two pipers from Angus Ogilvy's regiment, the Scots Guards - they were Pipe Major John Roe, and, I believe, Pipe Sergeant Robert Kilgour (see 8:35 onwards).
I remember watching it too. Was it princess Alexandra who chose a trouser suit for her going away outfit? My mum sent me round to our neighbour to tell her the 'scandelous'news!
Isn't Robert Dimbleby the father of Jonathan Dimbleby, the Prince of Wales" biographer?
@@AnjiKnutsen o
@@AnjiKnutsen Probably scandalous for the time.
These were real fairytales❤ such royal styles and titles ❤
the duke of kent looks so much like his father
good channel !!!!!!!!!
Beautiful
I loved Princess Margaret's hat!
O vestido dela perfeito 😭❤
Best wedding gown 👍
I was there
My girlfriend and I on our big overseas venture.
Sleeping on the pavement overnight was no hardship.
Princess Margaret in yellow took my breath away her skin was that of a china doll.
Royal households I shall never forget along with such a beautiful bride.
Leave it to the British to be so elegant as always.
Great match by look
Beautiful bride.
I only just noticed that the last sentence, where the speaker quotes Winston Churchill (without naming him) with the words "we got married and lived happily ever after", is almost certainly an allusion to the fact that the groom's father, Lord Airlie, was actually a first cousin of Churchill's wife (Clementine Churchill, née Hozier, daughter of Lady Blanche Ogilvy). Given that both Churchill and his wife were still alive at the time of this wedding it seems almost certain that the papers would have mentioned this relatively close relationship, and that therefore the speaker would in all likelihood have known about it too.
Interesting insight, thank you for sharing.
What a lovely dress
I had the privilege of spending four days with the princess she was great !
So stunningly beautiful ❤❤❤
Such dignity morality and panache. God Bless the British Royal Family. 🫡🇦🇺🇬🇧💯
Wish they had footage from the front seeing their faces.
Long long time ago?
Gorgeous Bride
❤️
She looked so beautiful!.
I love weddings! As long as I'm not the bride.
She is so beautiful ❤ wow ❤
Except for a few in the chapel the camera goes on two African men who are no doubt foreign dignitaries or Foreign Royals in their own right
Hello
Beautiful wedding. Love Vidor's Toccato!
0:50: Awkward ... Mr. Duncan Sandys followed by his ex-mother-in-law.
That looks like another lovely Russian kokoshnik fringe tiara
Старая добрая Англия 💝💖🥰🙏💞
Всегда удивляли их чудоковатые шляпки .
How beautiful. I was a 7 yr old American across the pond & didn't get to see this but very much enjoying it now. I did rise at 4AM, though, to watch Princess Annes' & every royal wedding thereafter.🤍⚘️👑
Which wedding do you want Dolia? Eric the great
Hace 60 años que tuvo lugar está boda. A punto estuvo de producirse un incidente diplomático entre Londres y Atenas ya que Federica de Grecia fue abucheada y agredida por disidentes políticos de su país.
Ella asistió a las ceremonias como pariente de la novia.
I didnt see the Glouscesters.
الناس نايمين في الشارع عشان حفلة الزفاف ليش هو الحفلة عندهم كانت تبدأ الساعه كم ؟
Mama ce de babe pa colo!
Her husband just like Kent
Strange how much they resemble duke of Kent and princess marina… well they are all related😅
В Александре больше голубой крови, чем в королеве Елизавете!
Princess Margret outfit is beautifull.
I just wonder why princess Alexandra and were not given away by their uncle?
what uncle
@@hannahhaines2351 I think she means Henry, Duke of Gloucester. Maybe he was suffering from an undisclosed illness, or the bride just didn't want to; or her mother may not have wanted him to walk her down the aisle. Who knows? A lot of possibilities.
@@patricianunez5423 ye maybe. I always thought she was given away by him because her father had died and brothers are next to walk you but i dont know
@@hannahhaines2351 I'm not sure what the protocol is either. Never gave it much thought. Princes Margaret had Prince Phillip walk her down the aisle rather than her uncle. Maybe it has more to do with preference tga than protocol
Ponerlo en castellano
Lo traducen.
Well that's how Dolia and I used to ALWAYS get married, is it different than normal? Just wondering...
Really is still always going to be annoying how the bbc kept stuff like this but destroyed things like some of the earliest episodes of doctor who. I don’t even know who these people are
The old geezer @2:37 seems to have spotted someone he likes😒😠
I wonder if lady Diana was there
She was born in 1961 so she was still a baby
a very clipped accented Archbishop.
What's with the almost singing-like way of speaking? I don't understand why he didn't just speak normally instead of almost doing a sing-song way of speaking.
You speak english in
England . That s all right .
9:21 Prince Henry looks funny in his old age.
Now they'll never arrive on time in fear of time bombs :/
Junior bridesmaid who doesnt know a word of english😂
I remeber mummy asking, why doesn't who in them be in them?
How are Princess Alexandra and the Queen related?
They're cousin..
First cousins, Alexandra’s father, Prince George, is the Queen’s uncle.
@@user-iw1gn4it5c Ohkay thanks
How they are descended:
George V--George, Duke of Kent--Alexandra
George V--George VI--Elizabeth
@@gidzmobug2323 Prince Edward, Duke of Kent is Princess Alexandra’s brother. Her father was Prince George, Duke of Kent
Due mummie!
Fake news. Me quedé con el planeta entero hace un año! Done. Next. Siesta
How pretentious
a very clipped accented Archbishop.
