I am African Amerian from the United States, but I do find it fascinating. A lot of people don't like the royal family and a lot of people love them. I have a detached judgment, knowing human beings no matter what, are not perfect (but rather gray). Having a whole royal family and their titles and positions, I have to admit.. very unique. On the side note, all of the things I love, I end up finding out they are from UK. My favorite writers, my favorite hat shop(lock and hatter), musicans and broochs etc. Maybe I lived there in the past life lol. But seriously, I hope one day I can visit. Anyway, I hope you continue to carry on your traditions. It's so ornate rich and intelligent. Just as I am proud of the culture of our country. Not all of it, but definitely a patriot. Cheers to the new King.
This is very well said. 👏
Thank you for introducing me to lock and hatter! I am obsessed , my three year old son wears a either a flat cap or a fedora style hat every day, he’s my little old soul. Any way, I’m definitely going to be getting his father a nice matching cap.

If people feel threatened by loving another people it’s an problem the conversation needs to be opened most people think people are different and in that way lack compassion but comments like yours remind us we are all human and if you have troubles you should look to the good people and Atleast realize we are all human

Some of the speech the Queen mother gave to the soldiers in Portsmouth for the unveiling in 1954 has been glued to my heart forever ....
"I am specifically proud to come as the wife of the one who greatly loved the royal navy and all it stands for".
She was a proud naval wife and loved her dear husband the King so much for all he was and kept the light burning in his honour ....
Crazy to think I was born 4th august 2000 exactly 100 years after the queens mother
King George V looks exactly like Zar Nicolaus, you can't deny that they have been close relatives.
Yes but more like tsarina Alexandra were related through queen victoria.

I was born in 100 years after the Queen Mother. It’s amazing to think about.

I saw a documentary about Diana, where the princess wondered how the Queen Mother was very cold and reserved when she met her daughter Elisabeth II after a long trip. No warmer movements. Diana was not ashamed to publicly show her love for her children, but also for caring for strangers, including war victims and the poor.
Good
She was a great woman, Diana. The royals did not understand why she was very caring for the people they considered low life’s. There will never a another Lady Diana.

Diana was from a different generation. They didn't show emotion. It was considered vulgar to do so. She taught the RF the value of public contact. They learned a lot from her.
The narrator is impeccable...I love her command of language and tone of voice aligns perfectly...a standing ovation
Agreed, absolutely!
Amazing
Very true ❤️
Yes!💐
Her voice is so SOOOO SOOTHING 🥰
The queen mother was an absolutely beautiful child 😍
I thought she was beautiful throughout her life.
A beautiful child...then grew up...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Interesting. Much more so now that Elizabeth II has just passed. I see Queen Elizabeth II in her namesake (the name Elizabeth that is) and mother. Her looks, the way she dressed in bold head to toe matching color, her hats, her love for horse racing, her calm quality, her dignity, and even her longevity. Queen mother 99 years of age, and Queen Elizabeth II 96 years of age, which is remarkable in itself.
I feel that the Queen mother did amazingly in light of the fact that when she married “Birdie,” neither knew that one day he would be King. It is heartwarming to know that she supported her daughter in the early years of her reign after her father passed suddenly, but that she didn’t interfere.
I believe though, that the Queen Mother was so supportive of her husband, without being overbearing or overpowering, that it was said that she brought out the best in him and they complemented one another, was probably her best trait in her marriage, and for her children.
I totally enjoyed this video!
It's bertie
It's bertie
Queen mother lived till 101 years
Alexandra's resemblance to Diana is striking.
I wanted to cry at those words.." It'll be the last time Elizabeth would see her her father again " ..To go through that grief as she loved her father and to find herself suddenly queen of the huge British Empire , when all you would want to do was go somewhere and grieve...
I am certain she was able to do grieving in private or with her husband’s shoulders to cry on.
Elizabeth Bowes Lyon was just what the Royals needed at the time.
She injected vitality into a progressively
boring institution.
It seems that outsiders to the Royal Family always do this. Diana, Kate, etc.
The reason Princess Diana was quite upset with the Queen Mum and rightly so is she allowed Price Charles and his Mistress to rendezvous at her Scotland castle and lied about, it surprises me that the Queen Mum agreed to that, but I've read it multiple times in different books and watched it on documentaries too. Many of Charles friends followed suit and both Camilla & Charles were invited to weekend events, Princess Diana did Not receive an invitation to those parties! They called Diana difficult, well I believe I'd be more than difficult if I found out that my husband and his Mistress were invited but I his Wife was not...
She cheat him 1st and not to mention that she force her selfe on him knew that he loved Camilla
i just find it unfair the brits have a reference towards unity as a nation..... all the rest of us have sailing rulers every 4 years. we lack thinking. we dont know who to choose. therefore i agree with this propaganda. it is, you know?
@@jozebutinar44 she forced herself on him! You know back then he couldn't marry Camilla.
Wrong of the queen mother
@@jozebutinar44 what most people do not realise about the royal family unless you have the right bloodline there is no way you are going to marry breed and produce offspring with its members
I will always cherish as my family has of the photograph we have of my great auntie Mary meeting and shaking the Queen Mother's hand. My great uncle Norman established one of the most prominent all boys school at that time and he and my auntie were so grateful to have been invited to meet Elizabeth. I always noticed how kind and genuine she looked in the photo! 🙏👑💕
I love the friendship between Elizabeth and Princess Mary daugther to king George the 5th & queen Mary.
Clearly Elizabeth the Duchess of York's warm personality drew people in return warmly to her.
She's such a powerful mother earthly figure.
The royal biographer at 4:14 is straight gansta with that cuban link on her neck🤣🤣🤣
Queen mother was NEVER surprised about Margaret and Peter Townsend.
I love the way they say “Queen mother”
3:39 Queen Alexandra was probably one of the most beautiful British Queen consorts up to date
Unsurprisingly the Queen Mothers voice is the same as the Queen
Valerie Singleton has the most lovely narration voice...I lived two doors down from her in west London 40 yrs ago!

Charles relationship and fondness of his grandma was why he married Diana. She was the granddaughter of her lady in waiting.
What a love letter to the Queen Mother. Failed to mentioned she was a lush.
Mary was a heavy smoker and drinker. Most were in her time.
The QM once said, “I am not as nice as people think I am,” and she wasn’t. She was absolutely fit to be tied after QEII ascended to the throne and flatly refused to leave Buckingham Palace. She was so financially extravagant that QEII spent millions of her own money to cover the debts her mother rang up. The worst thing is that the QM deliberately drove a wedge between a very young Charles and his mother, taking advantage of the long State visits QEII was forced to make to spoil him and make much too much of him, which is why they were always so close. And why Charles felt abandoned by his mother.
Lush Mush. Praise the temperance and pass the gins and tonic...
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be remembered as a great leader of Past and Present times. She provided inspiring leadership to UK and people of Common wealth Nations. She personified dignity and decency in public life, we can't forget the evening at Bunkingham Palace with her along with my family. It's Pained by her demise. Our thoughts are with the entire Royal family and people of UK and Common wealth Nations in this sad hour. May her soul be rest in Peace.
I don't remember her as a great leader but rather a cold lazy boring Woman Who Loved sitting in luxury and never once served the public. Rather they served her. She did not lead she merely followed orders. She did not even address the nation after Diana was killed. She was happy Diana was finally gone because Diana had caused her nothing but trouble. That's the reason she hit away .only when public outcry became so great did her advisers tell her she better say something otherwise risk pissing everybody off forever. She did not once acknowledge the amount of wealth and luxury she sat on, most of which had been looted and plundered from the Nations that were subject to British rule under colonialism. The millions of lives that were lost the millions of people who were subjugated were not acknowledged by her. The old saying never explain never complain meant that she could sit there saying nothing, giving an address every year at Christmas talking to the people about poverty while she sat in front of a gold piano. What a hypocrite. Who exactly did she serve and how? Everyone served HER. She never went without or demonstrated her greatness by donating even temporarily, her land for common use. Of her vast amount of houses which could have helped the unemployed to foster new work schemes or farming schemes. Nope, she never one goy ut of her chauffer driven life to lead her subjects.
Ha perfettamente ragione! Mi ricordo di aver visto un video che parlava della Regina Elisabetta II da un lungo viaggio. Ad attenderla c'era anche il principino Carlo che avrà avuto circa quattro anni. Era in fila, ma non vicino alla Madre. Non gli fu concesso di correrle incontro, ma attese il suo turno. Quando fu presentato alla Mamma, la regina non lo prese in braccio ma le strinse la mano quasi fosse un adulto! Prigioniera del cerimoniale barocco di Corte che adorava. Regina fredda come la Nonna Mary, la Regina di ghiaccio.@@tordyclark
How does he blithely call Camilla 'the adulteress' without calling Charles ' the adulterer'?
I know this is a rhetorical question but I can’t help myself - because of sexism.
THANK YOU!
Let's face it, Diana Was No Saint. It Was Simply A Poor Choice For ALL Involved. Charles DID Love Diana, As SHE HERSELF Admitted. The Problem WAS, He Wasn't "IN LOVE" With Her. People Should Have Seen The Remark He Made In The Engagement Interview In The Way He Meant It. "Whatever IN LOVE Means." He LOVED HER, But He Wasn't, IN LOVE With Her. People Took The Remark The TOTALLY WRONG WAY! The Engagement & Marriage Should Have NEVER Taken Place. It Was WRONG In EVERY WAY For ALL Involved!
@@pjcampbell4143 She was BEFORE she married CHARLES! And yes Diana did eventually do wrong, however, Diana’s mistake was to ever marry into that family.
So right.
Isn’t that too often the way?
1:21:20 information is incorrect. The speaker quotes information published in a 1987 book on the Queen's Jewels which described in error the “Hanoverian tiara/necklace” made for Queen Adelaide in 1830 and not Queen Victoria who later inherited it in 1837. That tiara is a different from the fringe tiara that Princess Anne & the Queen wore to their weddings. The tiaras look almost similar but this wedding tiara was made by Queen Mary in 1919 as a more modern alternative to the Queen Adelaide tiara. Mary gifted it to the Queen mother in 1936 who bequeathed it to the Queen in 2002. Both tiaras are now in the royal vault,
Agree. Don't you love when we "common" people know History better then other's. I have corrected many Royal video's over time as I do my research plus I came first in History in High school. So DEEV, may I say, we rock!!! 😊
@@queenofcheap6310 . We do!!! However i now realise that the speaker quoted from Leslie Field's 1987 book which was the most up to date information available at the time this film was made. It wasn't until Hugh Roberts went digging through the Royal Archives for into to publish "The Queen's Diamonds" that we found out the provenance of these two very similar fringe tiaras.
Thank goodness the tiaras are safely locked up a new addition to the family misunderstood the tiara situation and caused a ruckus about an Emerald Tiara.
I understood that the Queen Mother was in a bad financial state when she died. She had really overspent.
We see another situation with battles between Princes over an American and maybe the outcome will be similar, who knows, settling their differences is unfortunately during a time of mourning for Prince Philip.
@@jeanross7430 We are told that the Queen Mother got seriously in the red when she placed a large portion of her cash assets into a Trust Fund for her great-grandchildren. After the removal of that money from her bank account, she did not cut back on staff, homes, or lifestyle and ran up a huge overdraft which was covered by her daughter and perhaps with help from Prince Charles. William, Harry, and all the great-grand children have benefited from the Trust. While the Queen Mother ended up cash poor, she was very asset rich. She bequeathed to the Queen her entire estate which included a Monet, a great deal of Faberge, a huge and very valuable jewellery collection (including the Boucheron emerald tiara worn by Eugenie at her wedding) , and enough antiques to fill a museum. The value of these far surpassed the debts Charles & the Queen paid off
Not very clever of this programs writer(s), theives stole someone else's words! Shows you how low civilization standards have fallen! Picked up a book.
She honestly looks like she would have no trouble smashing your knees in down some back alley.
very much
The royal goddesses were the brains an heart of the Royal's duties 🙏🏿❤️👍🏿
My favourite Royal was Diana she was way too good for them RIP Diana your so missed
Speak for yourself.
Diana was no saint. I wish people would stop making her out to be one.
Agreed.
I wrote a letter to Princess Diana in 1994, and received a letter back from a lady-in-waiting.
"The Princess of Wales has asked me to thank you for your letter. Your thoughtful words are very much appreciated."
It ended with best wishes... I was surprised. I had not expected an answer.
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was probably the best thing that happened to the house of Windsor for a period of about 75 years. Although reluctant to marry Prince Albert at first, she of course eventually did. Being smarter than most of the Windsors then close to the throne, and tough as an old boot as well, she infused the family with political savvy and iron resolve. She and George VI served as a tower of strength for the British people during WW2.
To suggest however that she was not a strong political force within the royal family is ludicrous. It's quite clear she ruled the roost, having things done her way from the moment her husband became George Vi.
She was in many ways a hearty bonne-vivante noted for her fondness of gin, and the odd naughty joke. She was well loved by the British people for the most part. Politically she may not always been right but she was always Queen Elizabeth.
Kip
Marry prince Albert?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It occurs to me that I was born in 1947 when Queen Elizabeth got married and she and Phillip were on the same generation as my parents. Parents in that time were more traditional in raising their children... not quite as emotionally giving to their children and stricter. Not that they didn’t love their children, just parental ways were different.
Children had much more respect for their elders back then .
@@toocuteforwords9976 I don’t know if that was “respect” or FEAR…..🙈
It is a golden age to be a child in a home where they're loved and cared for.
@@toocuteforwords9976 It was fear. I got beaten up and down the back of my whole naked body (but mostly my rear end) with a leather belt for making what these days would be considered very minor incorrectnesses, because I didn't know better. Nowadays a calm explanation of why we don't do or say things like that usually suffices on the first attempt. I had a great mom who made sacrifices (you might not even bekieve if I mentioned a few) to keep and raise me on her own, but that was the way she was taught "discipline". All the while it was happening I promised myself that I would never raise my hand to a child, and I never did. But yeah, it was fear.
They didn't entitle children back then.
I worked the platinum jubilee as a sound engineer for the show at cardiff castle. Met Prince William and Kate.
I’m not a big fan of the monarchy but surprised how frustrated I am with some of the comments and posts about the queen mocking her death.
Just remember how the "royals" got there. Hardly people worth looking uptoo although I agree mocking the dead is immature, I wouldn't get frustrated on behalf of them.
Completely agree. It's disgusting how low some people are and feel they are entitled to make such comments when you, I and everyone else knows those who are most scathing in their judgments have the ugliest as well as the most skeletons in their closets
"Standing back and never interfering"?! She was opposed to Philip marrying Elizabeth: she and her pal, Diana's grandmother, were the ones to engineer the marriage of Charles.
Thus her disappointment at the behaviour of Charles & Diana. She had hoped that marriage would be as successful as her own. It's likely she was unaware of the adulterous horseface her grandson had been involved w/for years.
@@georgecarberry9222 Wasn't she the one who help Charles with his affair? Since they met secretly in one of her residences.
Yep very interfering non interfering
Fun Fact: the Queen mother was the last official Empress of India. Crazy that the last Empress of India died in 2002.
Who cares?
Why was any Empress of India not an Indian woman?
Murderous, thieving parasites.
@@Apollo_Blaze During Britain’s Colonial reign over India Queen Victoria was made Empress. As her descendants were crowned they inherited the titles Emperor & Empress, along with other titles. I didn’t realize she was considered Empress after 1947 when India took back independence.
Well she wasn't really the Empress of India. The English were invaders, who sucked the wealth out of India, and when they were through with raiding it, they got kicked out by Ghandi, leaving India a billion pounds in debt, which impoverished India for generations after, as that was an unheard of sum back in those times. With that money they financed their war against farmers in South Africa, as they tried to take over SA, to suck the wealth out of it too (gold, diamonds and minerals) but they lost - even though they invented the first concentration camps where hundred of thousands of farmers and their families perished via disease and starvation. The invaders self-styled themselves overloads of Indian royalty, but they were not accepted as such by the Indian people. It was such hypocrisy. All that glitters is not gold, and behind every great family is a crime. Or two.
Call me old fashioned, but you don't air your dirty laundry in public. I really enjoyed this video. The Queen mother was a strong woman. You can tell where Queen Elizabeth picked up her strength. God bless the Queen.

She was from a different age
She was the continuity.....
Now our queen is the continuity.
Thank you for this video, I realized that they all suffered one or other sadness....I really have sympathy with the royals....🤗
I found it odd that the Queen Mother was so particular about her outfits, dresses, jewelry, and hats, as a fashion perfectionist , but her teeth were absolutely appalling in every photograph and video made within the last twenty five to thirty years before her death. Her teeth were yellowed, with black ends and it appeared as if her teeth were rotting in her mouth. Surely, she could have afforded dentistry to clean and repair her teeth , or to remove them and give her teeth implants, if she didn't want dentures.
As old as she was, I wonder if she wasn't just afraid of dentists. Even now, people still won't go to dentists because of the fear pf pain.
I wondered about that as well. Apparently the Royals will have nothing to do with plastic surgery….maybe she thought aesthetic tooth repair was a similar no-no?
The other issue is that she drank a fair amount of red wine….which can stain one’s teeth badly.
She had BRITISH teeth! And she was proud of them. It's only fairly recently the Brits en-mass have started doing cosmetic improvements to their choppers. Sadly nowadays most of them cannot afford to visit a dentist, so their teeth are slowly going in back in time. The Health Service hardly works at all in some areas, and they are so done down as a nation, they cannot afford private.
Wauw...
They are very simply British teeth. The royals have never been big fans of cosmetic surgeries until about 20-30 years ago when the younger princesses married into the family. The mostly just wore makeup to enhance their natural beauty. But if I remember right Princess Katherine spent upwards of 12K by visiting a hugely popular French dentist who has mastered applying braces/straightening out the teeth from behind so there are no visible “train tracks”. The results apparently produce a perfect smile but still retain the British qualities… quite interesting

Interesting and informative. The thing I had no idea of, and this is coming from an American, I had no idea the the Queen Mother allowed Prince (then and no King) Charles and Parker-Bowles to carry on their affair in one of her homes. That seems so scandalous.
I enjoyed the clips of the wedding dresses and the jewelry most of all. I do believe Princess Diana's dress was the poofest, and grandest dress of all. Diana seemed as thought she was hiding in it. Perhaps she was.

In those old tapes back then everybody sounds like a 10 year old.
Yes, but that and 1:36:07 I suppose are the only sound of the queen mother in this episode.
There is a little known reason why she wore such loose clothes - she had had part of the large bowel removed (for a precancerous condition) and was left with a colostomy - the flowing dresses masked the colostomy bag.
Another little known fact is that she had both her daughters (Elizabeth and Margaret) via Caesarian section - that is why there were no more children, as Caesarean sections were dangerous, and could only be performed twice in delivery.
The Duke of Windsor had 7 names!!!

Virginia Fry: They wore loose clothing to hide the fact that they were men dressing and pretending to be women. This is still going on today in all aspects of our world. The queen is not a woman. These men were never pregnant and those are not their children.

It was not Hartnell, but George VI himself who came up with the "white" wardrobe.
Yes, she had a "Remarkable strength" to live show off lavish lifestyle
It’s like the Netflix of HISTORY‼️
"Same date, different king" was the Prime Minister's remark - Baldwin.
I've traced my ancestors back to about 1400's, so exciting to see this video. My ancestry as well to Scotland. I'd love to find someone to assist me in connecting my branches!
It's all about YOU.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Worth saving * photos * facts and * lovely and memorable and 💓 touching stories.
This biography made a huge mistake: the "back of the wedding gown" is ACTUALLY the back of her CORONATION GOWN!! ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DRESS!
That woman is adorable! Purely adorable!!!
Not those teeth 🤢
She was an extraordinary lady.
She died?

Mr Dan wonderful videos..Thank you
Yep history is repeating itself Megan sounds just like Wallis Simpson. Especially the part about separating David from his brother.
U sound jealous because he didn't marry u.
@@don3.lf3 hahahahahaha!!!! How you got jealousy out of that comment is beyond me unless you have your own preconceived notions. Like you're the first person to accuse us of jealousy or racism LMAO those comments lost their effect 2 years ago hahaha
@@pamelaevm880 but it’s true, and you know it
@@xav96 I'm sorry what's true? That this is the reason you don't Mary American divorcees especially actresses? For generations that's why the sons that been in love with actress have been told you step out with actresses you don't marry him. Megan definitely didn't have what it takes to be a royal and from her own words the strenuous workload of being a duchess.
@@pamelaevm880 that people like you are nothing but racists and judgemental of places that aren’t yours to talk of
Stunning design no doubt!!! I adore learning about history!!

@@przemyslawstasiuk3444 shut up don’t be so rude to the Queen
I've just found your channel. Have you considered doing any kind of documentary on Russian Royalty? I know that some English royalty is mixed in there.
The remarkable strength of some women who go through poverty and raise a family
Just one glass? Of champaigne, at that? The odd bucket of gins and tonic would help explain herself being quite so well preserved...

Lady Diana had an excellent Security & PR firms! They could lose her easily, scurrying along on a crowded London sidewalk . But the best times, were when she was all alone. Times they would find her reflecting quietly, along the edge of the shoreline, while dipping I her toes in the water. Twenty years have passed
Hello Jill
L
What ? Person security and pr firms she never had that is why she was liked so much she was all natural never strategic
Whenever I hear ( royal ) I think...archer!
op
Her unrequited love for Edward was her down fall but he loved Wallace Simpson and she made sure they both paid a price
GODBLESS
I doubt very much that Queen Victoria had the Hanoverian Tiara made to order in 1830, seeing as she wasn't yet queen in 1830 and was a sheltered young girl of mere 11 years of age
They didn’t say that, go back and watch. She said it was made in 1830 and then passed down to Queen Victoria and descendants
@@Mrsttowner They did indeed say that. Go back and watch it yourself! At 1:21:21 just for your information, a woman named Sandra Boler states that Queen Victoria had it made to order in 1830 (which is so not true) when describing the tiara that Princess Anne wore at her wedding to Captain Mark Philips. Yes I know that it was handed down through the Hanoverian monarchs from George IV onwards but this Sandra Boler woman obviously doesn't.
