Ridiculous Jobs Queen Elizabeth Actually Has Her Staff Do
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- Any monarch or head of state is going to have a whole staff of people to make sure they’re safe and taken care of, but Queen Elizabeth II has some employees who do seemingly ridiculous jobs. Sure, she’s the queen, and she’s busy, but does she really need someone to wear in her shoes before she puts them on for the first time?
The footwear specialist is just one bizarre royal job, with others including the bagpipe player who wakes her up and the official meat carver. Let’s take a look at some ridiculous jobs that Queen Elizabeth II actually has her staff do.

What job would you want if you worked in the royal household?
I would love to be The Queen's advisor.
Kim Taehyung you need to be able to spell correctly. Try Advisor
@@alexandrabojcun8914 Thanks for telling.
I would love to do any job the Queen would assign to me. I love to work and jobs are very scarce right now. I admire her for continuing the traditions of the monarchy while also introducing a touch of modern/technology.

I think she employs people because it is tradition and most of them can then say they worked for her . One of my relatives was a lady in waiting for queen victoria, she obviously was proud to be able to say so or we would know nothing about it.
Agreed, though there is a purpose to every job listed and not all receive financial compensation. Regardless of how one feels about the job in question, working for the Queen always looks good on one's resume. Here in America I have a friend who used to work on the staff at Buckingham Palace and now works at an upscale hotel in Florida. Just the mere mention of Buckingham Palace got him instantly hired at the hotel. They didn't even bother with an interview. They saw his resume and called him up and asked when he could start. They even gave him a choice between three different positions. He is now in charge of making sure the dining room staff treat all guests as royalty and he knows exactly how royalty like to be treated. he also happens to earn about twice what he was getting paid at Buckingham Palace which of course is often the reason people take jobs there in the first place. I would take a job as brass knob polish inspector there if it meant I could put on my resume that I worked at Buckingham palace and I'd do it for minimum wage.
Tradition ...it's old hat move on .
@@nunyabiznez6381 I know, its just an honor to have such an experience.😎😊And a good experience story, my fam had many such as well. Although, I would love to see if some things are true or lay eyes on some very important historical items. After reading Norma Goodrich and solomons ship and on joseph of Aremethia's bloodline with grail castle and isle of Mann's which the queen has exclusive control over, and Anne Catherine Emmrich's life of christ and her life mentioning joseph of Armenthia.
P was
Queen Victoria?
As an American, I would call these the most charming rather than the most ridiculous jobs.
As an American, I find the entire “right to royalty by birth” just plain silly. The rites and ceremonies are designed to separate the royals from the subjects. Harry gets that very clearly.
I am glad Harry has escaped this odious circus.@@sandragruhle6288
I would love to go and just stare at all the paintings with a book that explains the history of each. My dream vacation.
Arts are amazing ..
it would be a big book then
@@lucaslocust9567 ok, so I would need several days/weeks... I'm ok with that. I'll even bring my own coffee (yeah, I live in Washington State (not a fan of Starbucks))
@@Stuff-is-cool No, that would not be enough, that´s like saying instead of actually getting to know a person by talking to them, read their facebook profile.
@@Stuff-is-cool in a book there is way for facts, that's like saying, watch Harry Potter and you Will know all there is to know but in a movie instead of a book.
By accident, I discovered the Queens Gallery and was overwhelmed. Not on any tourist list that I saw. Made my day.
Most of these are honorary positions for the leading and most distinguished UK person in their profession. They usually hold a senior full time position and these roles come with it. The Queen gets up way before 9.00am. The bagpiper is playing for entire staff and for the tourists, not to wake the Queen.
Tom Moncrieff And you know because ?
@@linsayross278 The Queen's been getting up before 7, since she was a child.
The bagpiper is also a traditional form of reveille in the days before serious alarm clocks. Even now the military still uses bugle calls and farmers might have had a rooster (and still do).
@@bfc3057 You don’t know that lol
@@captlanc I mean she does now
Master of the horse is a very important job! Everytime they go out on horseback, or in the carriages, they have to have horses that can be trusted amongst crowds of millions of people who will just walk on and "do their job". Not an easy task!
“Millions” 😂
Blah ,blah,blah ,lizard people make me sick.
Maybe a mechanic would do - BMW, Mercedes, even an Opel would not bother in the crowds!
Millions ? moron
How low does your self esteem have to be to like people who do nothing for society?
The royal philatelist might seem silly to some but the royal stamp collection is the largest and most valuable stamp collection in the world and is worth north of $100 million and requires a lot of attention to detail. It is equivalent to a head curator of a major museum and should actually be a full time job with a large staff. My modest stamp collection requires as much attention as this gentleman devotes to the royal stamp collection and that is actually fairly typical of any serious philatelist.
This is a year ago. But I’m so curious, what is there to do once the stamp is put into its little sleeve or book? What kind of constant attention does it require.
No offence, but stamp collecting is futile, everyone knows philately gets you nowhere.
This joke was brought to you courtesy of 1976.
We use POUNDS in the UK! ... Are you saying the Royal Stamp Collection is worth £87,260,000?*
*According to ALEXA 16.09.22.
A much more respected job than that of the Royal Fellatalist!
@@halcyonzenith4411 Philatelist!
my gran had exactly same thing with her shoes - only she did not hire a person but my mum had to wear them in for her :)
If i was the Queen i would definately want someone to break in my new shoes and ensure i would not get blisters. This is NOT an unreasonable request.
I guess she doesn’t have Shoe Stretchers! 😉
Thanks
Who would want to wear used shoes?
Just buy your shoes from a charity shop, totally worn, and worn out too.
100%!
I would love to be surveyor of the Queen's pictures, all that art must be so incredible
Anthony Blunt, the spy, thought so, too.
I hope that the collection is located in a Royal Gallery that is open to the public, since the whole justification for allowing the monarchy to continue to possess such treasures is the expectation that the Crown can be trusted to hold culturally and historically important items in trust on behalf of the British people as well as the whole of the human race. Can any Londoners reading this shed any light on whether they can go somewhere to view and learn about the Queen's pictures?
One other. A great uncle of mine was Apothecary to The Household. I believe that this wasn't purely an honorary role, and that he was actually a member of the royal household's medical staff, but the title, which still exists, sounds strange to modern ears
I had heard a long time ago that they turn to Homeopathic remedies first, who knows if they still do.
God bless our Gracious Queen
Yes VERY Strange Thanks for sharing
Choropidist Foot Doctor is now called A Podiatrist something like that
Fabulous video , thank you .
These jobs have been with the English royal household and families for 100's of years steeped history and tradition, not only the royal families but some of the people who do these jobs have gone into them because for 100's of years their families have also served the royal family, they're not ridiculous.
It's the British royal household.
It’s out dated garbage.
@@jamespeters2859 I agree!
@@jamespeters2859 You sound like your impotent.
@@Spike-yc5gx You meant important didn’t you.
It is almost suggested that HM The Queen has a massive Household and is extravagent. What is barely mentioned is that all these positions are Historical and honorary and, if they receive any payment, it is usually a 'peppercorn' amount - in other words, very small.
Well said, the vast majority of these positions are historical and are honorary. Those holding the positions often provide their incredible experience and service at virtuality no cost, i.e. it an honour to serve and is the definition of Commonwealth.
You think that for an honorary job, the royals would be willing to give an honorary pay, they certainly have enough spare change in their couches for it. Who knows how well they actually treat their staff.
@@ayla5094 Well the staff certainly stick around and are amazingly loyal. Don’t think they’d do that unless their Employer was good to them.
The pay is absolute crap, but you get to live in a prime Central London location on a total shoestring and the credentials for future employment are something else. People who used to work at Buckingham Palace carry great prestige and the likes of Arab gazillionaires will pay you very well.
@A H You win “Stupid comment of the Century” award. Well done!
The royal court in Thailand have even more bizarre staffers to perform odd jobs: The man responsible for fanning the king with his gold gilded fans. The staff responsible for shading the King with his royal umbrella at all times outdoor (even night time) The man responsible for showing the King his walking path even though it is obvious from carpet layout. The staffs handling candles and lantern for the king at religious ceremony. To name a few.
Well there is an opening for a candle handler next time MM and s invited to anything the Royals are having he is up since she does the most to be seen it will be a big job
I love Queen Elizabeth, admire her, there's no one who can fill her shoes.
I first saw her on her coronation, and been a fan of her.God Bless The Queen.
Something so interesting to watch. I'll never get tired of watching what's going and what everyone is doing and passes their time from every aspect of the Royal Family. They live such an extraordinary life, no other than they live a life like this, but also is a demanding one.

Hello Adele
Royal my bullocks
How are you
None of those jobs seem 'ridiculous' to me. They all make sense, even the woman who breaks in the shoes.
I need someone to break in my shoes.
Same
Thank you!
There are actually manufactured inserts to break in shoes but she needs the whole person. Yup! ridiculous!
@@theresabraddock9310 Yeah, you try running the greatest kingdom in the world, at that age, with uncomfortable shoes. Also, that is not all her job is. Get a grip.
This give "Have you ever walked in her shoes?" a new meaning.
She provides a sense of purpose and pride. I wish she could employ the world.
Hi Lori hope you are having a good day so far??
Hello dear
Hello Lori
She supply's a sense of gross over indulgence
What about her USELESS PERVERTED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN ,GRANDCHILDREN ETC. THE COMMONWEALTH has been providing for these KILLERS AND THEIVES TOO LONG. The Queen of Corruption has left them in the lurch. Who gives anyone the right to lie on GOD. She abused the name of GOD. for her Endless Evil Deeds
She doesn’t do anything ridiculous. She not only drove trucks in WWII bet she was a mechanic as well. She has done some really cool things. She basically has a full time job being the Queen and has for all of her life. She deserves a little pampering. But, since I’m American, it’s not for me to say, but I like her.
Kelly Kerr You have nothing to say then !
Her role is important. I think that was evident when she was able to calm and reassure an entire nation by just a few well chosen words over the Covid-19 issue.
Your entitled to your opinion regardless of where your from, it's nice to hear positive things being said about our monarch, she truly is an amazing lady, it's a pity Princess Anne isnt next in line, Prince Charles is a fool
@@need4HIM You are funny
You are 100% . Our Queen is fabulous.
The job of taking care of the clocks is an honerable job. I was in the US Navy for 20 years and one job I did as an extra duty was to call the time number on telephone. Set a old fashion watch to the correct time and go into the Commanding Officers office and set the wall clock to the correct time. I did time before he came into work. With all the duties of Queen Elizabeth office she would need the correct time available to her staff and herself.
@Justin Time which is accurately maintained using old pennies.
Does she wear a new pair of shoes all the time?
I love zoning out imagining this is my life.
Aaaahhhh what a staycation.
I’ve always wondered about the shoes! Now I know 😁
Even this rather silly video explains that most of the somewhat archaic posts are "honorary" or ceremonial" which means that those who receive payment receive a "stipend"c which is probably that same amount as it was four or five hundred years ago - i.e. a piffling amount, but the honour of the post recognises their skills in those areas.
It is easy for many to confuse "the Queen" (a person) with "The Crown" (a post) monarchs come and go, as they are human, but the crown is a continuous tradition and as such is where all ceremonial things and places are "owned" (The Queen doesn't "own the crowns, or most of the palaces, and other premises.
The wearing in of shoes may sound ridiculous to some, but our ageing HRH attends many functions where she is obliged to walk or stand, and she merely ensures that she is able to meet the requirements.
All in all the Queen (now aged 94) still works to serve the UK and commonwealth, and when inheriting the crown from her poor father in 1952 pledged to serve the people for life.
Frankly, she has never put a foot wrong,
Long live the Queen!"
😂😂😂
Long live the Queen!
@@marlborodude123 Yes!
Well said indeed. After all, Her Royal Majesty has more time in active service in war time than many other Heads of State. Her parents were aghast at her volunteering during World War II. Her husband, sons and grandsons have all served as well, and not just in ceremonial roles.
Well her sons made up for her adulterer pedophile
My dad - as a professor of music at Manchester university - knew Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.
So glad that the Queen protects the swans that live in the park and has people looking after them. She's been Queen since 1952, 5 year prior to my birth. I've never known anyone else nor do I want to. I realise it's coming though.
Gayla it came! May the king in his shorter reign serve with the same grace and wisdom that his mother displayed!
@@oldfogey4679 May she rest in peace. She gave her best to lead her country through the best and worst times. She certainly kept her oath. She shall be missed. Hopefully, her son and heir will do well by her now.
The bagpipers don't wake up the queen. She's already up by nine. She gets up at around 7:30.
The title of the video doesn’t reflect the content at all.
I would want to be the "piper of the sovereign"...imagine having such a title on my business card....!!!
The shoe break in is a brilliant idea. I’d totally employ someone to do that if i could 😅
I am glad for these people to have a job. They are blessed.
Thank you!
I have 24 clocks in my houses there’s only 8 rooms 5 of them were made by me and my bro. Also we have a bus much of watches and paintings worth a lot around the house
Today the 9th April 2021 HRH Prince Philip passed away aged 99yrs. He has given decades of service to our kingdom & he was an amazing consort to our monarch Queen Elizabeth. RIP HRH Prince Philip ✝️
RIP, HRH Prince Philip, may he rest well..
There are alot of England citizens who are glad they have the Royals. The QUEEN has made changes to update the Royals. Keeping people working as much as possible. She loves her country 100 percent. She worked to help out during the war to save England from takeover from foreign countries!!! Just like some Royals did in the pass.
Love the Piper - what a wonderful thing to do 💕
Wrong title. Some of these jobs actually seem important and/or useful.
True
Food taster for sure
Agreed!! She is employing people, helping society and the economy.
...Can’t quite say the same for many other wealthy people who constantly look to fire people for their own benefit.
@@Mokes888 Exactly!
As an American, I find these appointments “a window to the past”. Incredibly important that people remember their history and so glad the British continually stand behind the traditions that made them who they are today. Job Well done By the Queen. I hope people of the UK realize how important their customs and traditions are to others around the world as well.
You guys are still in a state of open rebellion as far as I'm concerned.
As a young boy I dreamed of one day being the Protector of the Swans. But my father insisted I take up the family chamber pot business.
These are all simply modern jobs, with ancient titles. It's just traditional, whereas the trend now is to go for more important sounding job descriptions. For example an old fashioned 'Bullshitter' might be described as 'A documentary maker'.
Thumbs up for best comment here!
Agreed
@TheEtruscanhorse, you have no idea how hard it is to type this comment and have this beer of mine raised to you in one hand. Brilliant comment!
A big thumbs up. This video maker likes to spew a lot of TOSH against the monarch. God Bless the Queen for carrying on.
This was very enjoyable. Every position is interesting and necessary....and a great honor.
Not just in Britain, but in every country with a royal family my question is - how can you live in that unfathomable amount of luxury knowing there are homeless on the streets in the country that takes such good care of you?
they don't give a fuck about people
I can’t believe this still goes on.
Wow time has changed I still love with respect to Elizabeth our queen and her swans , her hats are astonishing as her . Thank you for the show giving me good memories of royalty then and now .
Hello dear!
Good video
Well by your definition of "staff" I personally have a few hundred myself, I've bought a bagle before and that would be dubbing the person selling that bagel my personal royal bagle maker.
I wondered about the new shoes. Usually when I buy a new pair, I will wear a pair of socks and walk around the house a few times until I know they are comfortable before I wear them out in public. That way I can manage the blisters, I am sensitive with my feet though.
I wish someone would have broken in my wedding shoes
While I assume that if the Queen instructed her Chief of Staff to make changes to anything mentioned in this posting, it would be done. That said, I doubt that she cares one way or the other for much of this traditional stuff. She inherited almost all of it, actually "owns" almost NONE of it... and will pass all of it on to her successor. It's the British people who want it and fund it. Don't blame Elizabeth II.
The Queen is one of the richest women in the world, as she has her own private properties and money.
@@300books Oh, I understand she inherited several estates and other property and businesses, and certainly she's a long way from destitute. My point is that much of the "theatre" surrounding royalty - the gold carriages, the palaces (Buckingham and Windsor among them), the Crown jewels, vast art collections, the state banquets, etc., are NOT owned by her but by the British people. The queen, I understand, lives rather frugally when she's allowed to. I've heard her state that she rarely wears jewellery unless it's required as part of some costume. She's worth far more to the British people than she costs them.
@@300books Not true.
@@antisimanticath : The queen personally owns Balmoral Castle, Sandringham House, and Marlborough House, all worth millions and millions. However, she does NOT own Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. According to Business Insider, the queen's private assets are a least $600 Millions. Her private stamp collection alone is worth $130 Millions and not owned by the British people, but by her privately. All this can be verified.
@@300books You might want to check up on that.
I don’t think these jobs as ridiculous, i find this very interesting, and steeped in history.
Love the job of breaking in shoes. Have had my daughter do that for me years ago. Lol!!
I love your Queen, I love England, all blessings to you from Mexico 🇲🇽
I would love to be official taster of all desserts! I need a master carver myself! I think the surveyor of the Queen's pictures is very interesting.
I think the last Surveyor that I remember was the spy Anthony Blunt!
Get yourself a hobby before you become a 'yes master !!'
I was worried there, for a minute, when I thought that they were gonna show the poor, exhausted page boy fainting...
And what did she do Nothing probably
What is the name of the faun statue at 11:00. That is gorgeous work.
I'll drive those Rolls Royces for her please!
I have read that one of her great pleasures is personally driving her Land Rover around Balmoral.
as part of my job as an Estate Caretaker for a wealthy family, i was also the Chauffeur..The 1960 R/R Silver Cloud 2 was fun to drive around town..
i havent watched yet but i suppose no matter how ridiculous or pointless a job is there is no problem as long as im getting paid enough
I think job satisfaction is more important than pay.
You omitted the esteemed role of "Procurer of young boys" which was undertaken by Sir Jimmy for so many years.
About the Swans: It is not just mute swans in England. That is the case throughout the entire British Commonwealth, something few people realize.
I didn’t know that.
All seem perfectly normal to me. Fantastic traditions
thats nice that she keeps people employed

I would love to know who and where all of her hats are cared for and stored. There has to be thousands as she never repeats as I know it. Can you even imagine? Plus her matching coats..
The Queen does repeat all her clothes. The Daily Mail, having no greater News to report, calculates the Queen wears every outfit and hat on average 22 times, but mixes them up.
Thank you so much for politely responding to my comment. It is really nice to know that these beautiful items are reworn by the Queen herself. It seems the majority of times we don't get to see the lovely dress underneath the coats. Very kind of you!
harpers1niter And thank YOU for your charming reply. The Queen's dresser, Angela Kelly, who designs, makes and stores most of the Queen's clothes, recently wrote a book (with the Queen's approval) about what the Queen wears and why. I haven't read it but I read rave reviews of it. Might be worth a peek!
@@tommoncrieff1154 I have seen the book and it has the best photo (in my opinion) of the queen ever. Standing with her hands in her pockets in a cream tweed shift dress pretending to be a model, its absolutely charming.
It is also my understanding that when she is finished wearing the items, she lets her staff take them to remake, or to give away. She is a pretty wonderful woman. I'm American, but I love her. Been to the British Isles a few times and love the country and how everyone I met, even waiters and waitress always speak of her with respect.
Blessings
The queen has so many walk abouts to do . The last thing she needs is blisters.
Lizard people make me sick!

Junior members of the Royal Family work for a living in some business or other. The late Princess Margaret's son is a furniture designer and cabinet maker.
Senior members of the Royal Family have various formal duties to carry out depending on their status.
The most senior member, next to the Queen is Prince Charles, he, as heir to the throne is now deputising for the Queen in many of the 'out-and-about' duties. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also represent the Queen, visiting various parts of the country or abroad. There can often be several 'representation' visits in one day. These duties would have been shared by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had they done what was expected of them and stayed in the UK.
@Gavin MacNeish
Naturally, there are no dysfunctional families in the US.
Grow up you jerk.
Just visit the official website of the Royal Family and you will understand what they do. And definitely check before you ever leave for a trip to London as you may be able to see them in person while there! They work tirelessly for their country and their is usually one or more out and about working on any given day in London. Fun to see them in action!
Thanks Mim
The only real criticism I have of the queen is her treatment of Diana after her death.
I’m pretty sure the queen’s astronomer is paid in pounds sterling and not dollars as pounds sterling is, in fact, the currency here in the UK. who knew? Well I thought everyone did but clearly not.
I'm American and I thought that odd, as well. My guess is that these channels pander to Americans because so many of us are fascinated by the English royal family. They believe their viewership is mostly American so they use American terms. I'd very much rather it be announced in pounds than dollars.
the queen can dress...she always looks well put together...shes always matched up
I wouldn’t mind if someone broke in my shoes for me lol. Actually it’s due to this I started buying sketcher brand and other brand shoes that have memory foam seals so that they are comfortable from day one and 8 didn’t have to wear shoes in for them to be comfortable.
Well people might hit the snooze alarm on an alarm clock or whack it off. However with a piper you aren’t going to fall back asleep and miss anything.

Hello dear!
1400 to run her household? No wonder shes living a long life!
I watched documentary on TV about the queen. She always carries her purse on her left forearm. When she wants the guards to get her away from somebody she puts her purse on her right forearm. Pretty slick isn't it.
Brilliant wait
Are these people played from tax money or the queens personal money?
Probably from tax ....
Same thing
Guess I'm a Royalist. I do not find any of these "ridiculous". The majority are honorary, and bound up with tradition. As an historian it pleases me that traditions are upheld. They are what makes a country different. What a bland world it would be if everywhere was the same. The other jobs are actually important. Maintaining the royal collections is important because of their historic significance. Would someone say that a person doing the same job in a museum is also ridiculous? The royal collections do not belong to the Queen, but to the Crown, and, therefore, ultimately to the country.
It is not popular today to be a monarchist. It needs pointing out that the "I don't see why I should pay...blah, blah" is actually based on incorrect information. The monarchy handed over the largest source of their income to the state. Out of the money raised by the Duchy of Lancaster, the monarch receives funding. The amount given to the monarch is less than the money raised by the Duchy, so the state is actually in profit from this arrangement.
I am not a Royalist by any means BUT I have nothing but respect for Queen Elizabeth II, She has reigned with dignity and integrity.................Not at all sure about Charles but William looks promising
That look on the Queen's face on the cover photo Is a "perfect" look for M Market...lol
All good for the UK economy. Jobs, jobs, jobs. Yes, even the ceremonial ones.
more fools fools and still MORE FOOLS HURRAY IDIOT
The Swans were also tasked with another job in ancient days, they are excellent anti-burglar guards. If they were still kept around the palaces & castles none of those trespasser stories we have heard would have occurred. Swans and Geese are extremely territorial and have no problem with attacking human strangers
They do have swans again. I love watching programs about the palace.
@random k
I read that the taxes per person run a little less than one US dollar per person per year and that they brought to the economy 1.8 £ billion. (I think I use the right monetary symbol) if not some tacky person will let me know ; )
