This comment is about the painting...I'm not going to comment on the man, because I know absolutely nothing about him. I ran across this video and wanted to see his portrait of the Queen. I truly love the painting. I think he caught her personality brilliantly. You can see her sense of humor captured beautifully in her eyes. She truly was a treasure and I always had so much respect for her. Please know that we Americans feel the loss as well. Best wishes to everyone from across the pond. :)
Haha she definitely did and that's most unusual as the Queen speaks with 'crystal glass' flawless English and never uses slang words or informal English usually even. The Queen also though, has an unusual ability to put people at ease I've heard, as it can be a nerve wracking experience for people being in her presence. A skill she's honed over a long period doing what she does. The way she said naah was typical Australian. It's possible she unconsciously just copied what Rolf said, to put him at ease and lower formalities.
@42:30 .... Rolf: "Do you keep a lot of the portraits?" Queen: "No, none! They're all painted for other people." (Exquisite awkward moment) Rolf: "Would you like to keep any of them?" Queen: "No!" ...........All his efforts completely wasted - priceless!

Coming back to this two years later, when Her Majesty has died, and Rolf Harris is, apparently, desperately ill at 92, I'm left with a feeling of total sadness: it was a good portrait - far better than so many others; he was so pleased and so honoured to have the chance to paint her; and since then - total disgrace for him. I suppose he deserved it; I can't judge the sins of others, having enough of my own; but to dismiss him, to forget him, to cast him into nothingness - just isn't right. He WAS a talented artist - he was also a fallible man, and even at times a wicked one, if judged by standards he just didn't seem to understand. But there was far more to him than his crime, or crimes - he doesn't deserve to be air-brushed from history.
Agreed and his wife and daughter his wife of 62 years dying of dementia and his poor daughter and son about to bury two parents and grandparents at the same time is awful for them ROLF will still be my childhood artist like Tony Hart was etc
Yes, now that he's died there's something undeniably tragic and pathetic about it all. If he'd behaved himself and constrained his urges, his death would be big news and we'd be celebrating his life. As it is, most people are just shrugging and saying 'good riddance'.
I'd like to agree... but if she wasn't the Queen, she wouldn't be picked out of a crowd as anything spectacular, IMO. Very pretty and nice person... would live her life well and honourably, but not at all an "exceptionally lovely lady." When she was younger and in full regalia at state affairs she looked like a movie star - she was stunning... but almost anyone would stop the show when all dolled up by dressers and dripping with diamonds. It was her dedication to duty and to her promise to serve that is exceptional. We have no way of knowing how many days she got out of bed feeling like hell and still went out smiling and shaking hands until her arms ached. She's getting the respect now that she's always shown to others. Compare her fundamental qualities to the likes of Donald Trump. They couldn't be farther apart on the scale of human decency..

...beautiful picture! I liked to watch the process. The Queen is a very nice person. Imagine how may years of smalltalk she spend and she is still very friendly to exited people. I like the Queen!😊
He was a huge inspiration for me, the reason I got into painting 🎨. It was a huge shock hearing on the news when he was charged for sexual offences. I couldn’t believe it, under the soft gentle outside he was a very dark person. I still find it hard, I know what he did was disgusting his talent was short lived by his actions
Yes it was dark & shocking. He did much good too 'we all loved him as kids'. He was a performer & a showman so the public image is a show.That's the guy we all saw. I met him in the early 2000's after I'd become friends with a guy that I traveled in India with. Upon my return he invited me to dinner at Rolf's house as he lived in a wing of the house. I won't go into all but basically Rolf had taken him in & included him as family as he had had a bad childhood. It was great to see them do a double act at parties. They had met years before at a charity event as both played the Digirido.
Over here in America, the only thing that we know about Rolf is his song ‘Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport’…at least that’s all I knew about him until very recently. It seems to me that Harris got caught up in operation Yewtree… again, I knew nothing of this, Jimmy Saville, or Gary Glitter, but would it be incorrect of me to ask that Harris is not as evil as Saville and Glitter?
What a beautiful gesture from the queen to have her portrait taken from her room for Rolf to inspect.. these are the things people may overlook..she was a truly lovely woman.
LOL Imagine a VIP doing something over & over again, that would get tiresome, especially if its a painting of themselves. We are always our own worst critic & IF you are of a stringent mind. For me personally, I like the idea of the seeing the impressions of each artist on the same subject, in this case Queen Elizabeth 2. The chattery was a bit distracting but considering who the artist was talking to, I's likely be a chatterbox also to get an impression of the personality I am painting, this helps create the atmosphere & persona of the person being painted & gives it character & life. I use to sketch with charcoal & graphite & standard lead & sometimes ink. Creation of a living object is difficult without mood & an idea of the personality. He didnt have much time with the queen & in my opinion he did a fantastic job.
I noticed how she touched her ring at some point. I heard it is a signal for her entourage that means she had enough of a certain situation, or conversation.
i think that woman has lost all warmth and uncontrolled deeper emotions being over 60 years in that position. cold and uninterested she seems to be. and resigned emotionally.
Her Majesty is just like that she needs to remain proper infront of cameras ive met the queen and i know others who have she is good at reading people if you don't care too much about the fact she's the queen she will relax a bit and be herself if you're shitting your pants that you're meeting the Queen she will act proper because she doesn't want to spoil the illusion for you
What a lovely presence she is. Her smile is disarming, her face beautifully animated. He really missed the corners of the smile, which are the best parts of it. Otherwise, she was the essence of grace. I wish she'd talked some more. She has a wicked sense of humor. She was ill, and still showed up! Glad I saw this. Through the years, she's been vilified and demeaned, yet she's weathered it all and come out of it as the classy lady she is.
She's a pro, no doubt. But considering what's happening in England, the world nearly, with the inevitable forced vaccinations and NWO agenda (own nothing and be happy), which she absolutely KNEW would happen perhaps since the Americans helped defeat Hitler. This is not a good person and allowed, maybe encouraged, totalitarianism on her British Commonwealth subjects.
Yes, it's uncomfortable because we now know what Rolf Harris turned out to be. But listening to the Queen speak here is still fascinating, and so far nobody has made any bad claims towards her. So imo this interview can still be watched for what it is becuase it's the Queen that makes it interesting, not Pedo Rolf.
I love watching Rolf Harris I used to watch him growing up when I was a child I used to love his cartoons and him drawing painting them I think he was the perfect choice to draw paint the Queen of England 🇬🇧🌹♥️🦁and he did a really very good job and drew her with a bit of sense of humour and friendly which I rather liked and of course class a very enjoyable video indeed for me to watch thank you for sharing this ☺️👍🏻💯🥰😊👍🏻💯
I hope he realizes what a privilege it was to have such access to her like that, up close, personal, relaxed small talk. The way she delivered that line, "... after I succeeded and got into her safe..."
@@nairemlap533 True. And his accusers didn't know at that stage either. Read rolfharrisisinnocent (just add a dot and the three letters 'c' followed by 'o' followed by 'm'.)
I remember him slapping out full paintings in less than 5 minutes but he's taking ages here and he's made her look weird. It's the nearest thing to an interview with the Queen but what a shame it had to be with Rolph Harris!
Have none of you considered this?. Perhaps she enjoyed a conversation with somebody who was not sucking up to her and grovelling . He kept it very casual and she did seem very relaxed and not at all offended that he was so informal with her.
Queen Elizabeth has always been beautiful during her young life + today. Don't think anyone else is capable of fitting in the shoes of such a wonderful person she is. She looks younger than her age.
Stop supporting greedy lawyers and their quest for money. Look at the way lawyers use the misguided, the deluded and the outright fraudulent. Wendy Wild is a 54 year-old woman who is the 7 - 8-year-old mentioned by those who seek to demonise. This is the best example the muck rakers can think of to promote the theme of the male perpetrator + female victim. Wendy Wild decided to go for some Harris money after she went bankrupt. Wendy Wild alleged that Harris gave her a swift touch when she was at the head of an autograph queue, in a crowded hall 45 YEARS AGO. Strangely she didn't tell anyone, strangely no one saw it happen. It has been proven, by the police who were seeking evidence, that Harris was not at the location, a community hall in Leigh Park, Portsmouth, where she alleges this happened. Harris was not there either 3 years before or 3 years after the year that Wendy Wild was 7 years old. The police searched the news archives, they questioned the staff of the hall in Portsmouth, they letter boxed residents of the town and they interviewed people in aged care facilities. The police who did all this work are disgusted that Wendy Wild's accusation still resulted in a conviction. All men should be warned by this. These are FACTS.
I'm saddened that he tainted his life with his perversion because he was so gifted by such a beautiful gift. It is interesting that they spoke about George Stubbs. I had to do a painting of a horse for Three Penny Opera that was based on a George Stubbs painting.
It’s a real shame Rolf threw everything away for his own sexual gratification. He’s almost hypnotising in this, with his soothing voice, you just can’t help but be amazed by him. Rolf will always be plagued by what he has done and he’ll live with that regret until the end.
The soothing voice and gregarious demeanour are all just part of the sexual predators repertoire, how he gets close to his victims, and how he gets away with it for so long. He always was and is a vile human, I’m glad he’s so sick he can no longer eat and will likely be gone from this world in a very short time.
That's the majority of men unfortunately, ruled by dopamine and testesterone.. Fortunately u don't find men with low testosterone being perverts, rapists or paeodophiles...so something to be said bout losing testesterone as u age..should be spent by 25 lol...haha
As much as I loved the Queen she wasn’t the easiest to strike a conversation with. She can be quite difficult. She is abrasive at times, and makes others uncomfortable with her lack of replies and awkward silences. I imagine it must have been difficult for Diana to try to build a relationship with her. I also found her to be sarcastic at times when people asked her questions or tried to come forward to help her. We all just say ahhh isn’t she lovely, but if that was an ordinary person you would say don’t talk to me in that fashion. She got away with however she spoke because she was Queen, and we already had a great respect for her, but she came across as rude at times.
It's nice to read these honest insider views. I think a lot of people fail to realise that the image of the Queen they have has been meticulously crafted through the media presentation that she's been given. And this is the problem with the entire royal family as an institution. Unfortunately, when you raise people to believe they're better than everybody else by blood, it's not surprising that they're actually not very nice people in general. But none of that matters if the only exposure to them are images of them waving and smiling to the masses, delivering inspiration speeches they didn't write, and being told at every opportunity how wonderful they are and how everyone else adores them.
I don't like him but Charles seems a lot more outgoing and accessible in comparison. Even in correspondence he uses the first person instead of the Royal 'we'.
I must confess I was worried first, but then, what an achievement ! That was a good job ! You do not betray her expression and we can find her in it ; thank you so much .
Rolf was clearly so privileged to paint the Queen's portrait. He was a brilliant artist and credit has to be given for at least some of the positive things he left us with. The portrait is stunning.
Despite not knowing much about him and skipping through large chunks of this video... I think: She's very classy and seemed relaxed. He did a pretty nice job capturing her.
I kind of enjoyed the chit-chat and the anticipation of the Queen who acted with graciousness in making it pleasant for the artist. Even though she is having so many conversations during the day every day. You never hear of the Queen taking afternoon naps. Is she? I wonder.
What joy it was to watch your creative process...those small details you shared were like hidden diamonds wonderfully shared..your sincerity and interaction allowed the public to get to know the queen ...how pleasant demeanor..thanks for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter were totally different to Rolf Harris. For a start there was actual evidence against them. Rolf Harris (if you actually bother to look into the details of the trial and the unprofessional way the police "investigated" his case) was convicted mainly after trial by media before his case came to court and his whole trial was clouded by the first case dealt with by the court, that he was accused of having molested an 8 year old. The other charges against him at his first trial were tainted by the accusations made by the woman who claimed to be 8 years old at the time. However, when the details of her accusations were investigated thoroughly by investigators acting for Rolf Harris at his subsequent trials, it was shown that the whole thing had been made up and consequently he was found not guilty of that charge. However, as he had already been convicted, it was too late to prevent the jury from perceiving him as being a paedophile. The other accusations for which he was convicted were also provably false or at the very least based on accounts that when looked at or scrutinised, could not have happened the way it was claimed. He was found not guilty of all other charges brought at his second and third trial after "victims" had brought stories to operation yew tree after responding to requests for "victims" to come forward having been told "you will be believed" with newspapers of a certain type boasting of potential compensation for victims being in the tens of thousands if not more. None of the cases on their own would have been enough to convict anyone. However, the fact that Operation Yewtree presented their "evidence" as if there had been a pattern was enough for the jury to decide, against real evidence, that he was guilty. There is a book out now by this investigation team (Rolf Harris. The Defence Team's Special investigator Reveals The Truth Behind The Trials by William Merritt) which quite clearly illustrates the shocking stitch up Rolf Harris was subject to. Anyone who genuinely thinks Rolf Harris was treated fairly should read this account and it will shock you to the core that someone could be convicted on the flimsiest of evidence. I think there is a suggestion that Rolf Harris may have been a bit tactile at times with people (not those who made accusations as most of them provably did not come in to contact with him or others whose account would have been witnessed by people if they had been true) as was the behaviour of people in the 70s and 80s, which doesn't condone that sort of thing but it was almost certainly not as sexually aggressive as was portrayed in court and certainly not paedophilia. As the book points out, the Metropolitan Police investigating these crimes were, at the time, involved with their own questionable practice of stamping new female recruits as an initiation ceremony where young police woman had their bare bottoms stamped with the station stamp while everyone else looked on! I know there will be people who take issue with what I have said, but I suggest you do a bit of research first and not just rely on what you are told by the tabloid media. As I said, Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter were totally different cases, but unfortunately Rolf Harris was tarred with the same brush, as was nearly Cliff Richard, Paul Gambaccini, Jim Davidson, Freddie Starr etc. all of whose cases were dismissed or fund not guilty through a lack of evidence and believability of the complainants.
@@deepsouthNZ No he did not. The letter says nothing of the sort. He is sorry that the consensual relationship he had with his friend’s daughter had been painted as being something other than what he believed it had been for the many years it had been going on (from when she was 18 onwards) ie. one of affection and mutual feelings towards each other was suddenly being alleged to be something else. The relationship changed when it was ended and the girl tried to extort money from Rolf Harris. When she was unsuccessful, the relationship was portrayed as something more sinister (difficult to accept given the relationship - no matter how ill advised - had gone on until she was in her mid twenties). If it had been as abusive as she made out it seems unlikely she would have kept going back for more when there was no need. Read the book I mentioned in my original comment because it is covered more thoroughly and accurately there, by professional investigators actually doing their job and scrutinising what was alleged, to see if it stood up to investigation and it did not, beyond reasonable doubt.
Lovely to see her so relaxed, she has wonderful smile. I'm not a Royalist at all and to be honest I believe it has run it's course, there is no place for it in the modern world but I have nothing but respect for this lady, she has been simply wonderful.
It's such a shame about Rolf, he was more than "just a celebrity'' he literally was a national treasure, its very upsetting to see his career and indeed possibly, his life, end this way. I met Rolf briefly, about 20 years ago in Cardiff, He came across as such a warm, friendly gentleman, yet its clear now, He had a very dark sinister side. it's upsetting.
I couldn't have said it better than you have here. It is very upsetting to me too. Ruined my enjoyment of him. So grossly offending. A shame as I believed he was a 'real natural'person. Just shows , you cannot be too careful in anybody.
I'm not saying there's nothing in it, but media is a very cut-throat business full of egoists. Harris' demise may be more to do with professional jealousy than with what he did or didn't do
Difficult to find the words. He seemed like such a nice guy. So much a part of the childhood of those of us who grew up in the 60s & 70s, and so talented. I still feel affection for him... but
You took the words out of my mouth. Can hours of childhood entertainment fondly invested in the memory banks be summarily dissolved by what transpired?
Don’t feel to guilty. When you research the case against Rolf Harris, it is amazing it ever got to court let alone that he was found guilty of anything. The prosecution’s case was based on provably inaccurate/false allegations. The “evidence “ appeared to be that if someone said it, it must be true - a witch-hunt no less. It’s exactly the same as someone popping up claiming you did something to them when they were a child and you being found guilty because “you will be believed” was what the police told the “victim”.

I liked to watch the process.

Imagine how may years of smalltalk she spend and she is still very friendly to

I like the Queen!😊
He was a huge inspiration for me, the reason I got into painting 🎨. It was a huge shock hearing on the news when he was charged for sexual offences. I couldn’t believe it, under the soft gentle outside he was a very dark person. I still find it hard, I know what he did was disgusting his talent was short lived by his actions
Yes it was dark & shocking. He did much good too 'we all loved him as kids'. He was a performer & a showman so the public image is a show.That's the guy we all saw. I met him in the early 2000's after I'd become friends with a guy that I traveled in India with. Upon my return he invited me to dinner at Rolf's house as he lived in a wing of the house. I won't go into all but basically Rolf had taken him in & included him as family as he had had a bad childhood. It was great to see them do a double act at parties. They had met years before at a charity event as both played the Digirido.
All false charges. Read rolfharrisisinnocent ( just add a dot and the three letters 'c' followed by 'o' followed by 'm'.)
Over here in America, the only thing that we know about Rolf is his song ‘Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport’…at least that’s all I knew about him until very recently. It seems to me that Harris got caught up in operation Yewtree… again, I knew nothing of this, Jimmy Saville, or Gary Glitter, but would it be incorrect of me to ask that Harris is not as evil as Saville and Glitter?
oh yeah, i saw that painting at a car boot sale last week..50p

She's so modest and down to earth, just sweet and wonderful in every way.
Rolf: Does that upset you?
Queen: Nahhh (NO kidding) I have NEVER heard her say Naaahh
...she also goes to the toilet believe it or not lol
I wouldn't imagine the BBC will ever repeat this again.
He wasn't really there to paint the Queen, he was swapping stories with Prince Andrew.
Uh oh...
haha priceless

What a beautiful gesture from the queen to have her portrait taken from her room for Rolf to inspect.. these are the things people may overlook..she was a truly lovely woman.
Extraordinary... superhuman... should have won three Nobel prizes for that gesture alone
She was so annoyed😂 she was like "Bruh shut up and just do it!" 😂
Fi4i5i
It would be a boring show if it was 1 hour of them being silent.
LOL Imagine a VIP doing something over & over again, that would get tiresome, especially if its a painting of themselves. We are always our own worst critic & IF you are of a stringent mind. For me personally, I like the idea of the seeing the impressions of each artist on the same subject, in this case Queen Elizabeth 2. The chattery was a bit distracting but considering who the artist was talking to, I's likely be a chatterbox also to get an impression of the personality I am painting, this helps create the atmosphere & persona of the person being painted & gives it character & life. I use to sketch with charcoal & graphite & standard lead & sometimes ink. Creation of a living object is difficult without mood & an idea of the personality. He didnt have much time with the queen & in my opinion he did a fantastic job.
" She was like, bruh.." lol!
...um excuse me!!! Queen Elizabeth II never says "bruh" thank you!! She might say "shut up" but not "bruh"!
Chatting like two old friends. She was just charming and elegant. Rest In Peace Your Majesty.
I noticed how she touched her ring at some point. I heard it is a signal for her entourage that means she had enough of a certain situation, or conversation.
Eww, I'm sure they wouldn't have filmed her touching her ring :O
she really is not amused by him is she
i think that woman has lost all warmth and uncontrolled deeper emotions being over 60 years in that position. cold and uninterested she seems to be. and resigned emotionally.
Her Majesty is just like that she needs to remain proper infront of cameras ive met the queen and i know others who have she is good at reading people if you don't care too much about the fact she's the queen she will relax a bit and be herself if you're shitting your pants that you're meeting the Queen she will act proper because she doesn't want to spoil the illusion for you
She can see right through he's a slippery nonce.
there is something a bit slimy about him...she must of picked up on it...shes nobodies fool!
That painting @11.02 is hilarious!
Her sense of humour was amazing this was for her 80th birthday as I recall …
This was wonderful to watch at the time.
I so wish to have that moment back
You can tell the queen has visited Scotland a fair amount of times when she says “nah” 😂
It's now locked away out of sight since his downfall. But it was a very good painting
Downfall?
It was a trumped up charge... the poice could find absoiutely no evidence but he was still convicted.....
What a classy, wonderful woman she is!
This is very helpful to me as a painter. Thanks for posting. Enjoy watching his process.
He may have been a good painter but he is also a Paedophile.
Rachelle Tregear I read that. I didn't know anything about him until I stumbled upon this on youtube.
i guess you were a fan of his? lol
if he was female i would say the exact same thing..i hate double standards..he was a very talented painter but i can never see him the same way..
+Rachelle Tregear He was a crap painter he just got by.....that is all....
What a lovely presence she is. Her smile is disarming, her face beautifully animated. He really missed the corners of the smile, which are the best parts of it. Otherwise, she was the essence of grace. I wish she'd talked some more. She has a wicked sense of humor. She was ill, and still showed up! Glad I saw this. Through the years, she's been vilified and demeaned, yet she's weathered it all and come out of it as the classy lady she is.
She's a pro, no doubt. But considering what's happening in England, the world nearly, with the inevitable forced vaccinations and NWO agenda (own nothing and be happy), which she absolutely KNEW would happen perhaps since the Americans helped defeat Hitler. This is not a good person and allowed, maybe encouraged, totalitarianism on her British Commonwealth subjects.
@@ellyreginald6546 what a load of bollocks.
I am amazed by what a nice and lovely personable lady the Queen is...I think he did achieve a very good likeness...
Fantastic! The most perfect ! The queem is perfect!!!! Congratulations!
The Queen it's very friendly and has a beautiful smile.
I’d be really annoyed if he spent time painting the dress and stuff. I would only sit for him to paint my face.
The Queen didn't look 80 here. Beautiful lady 🌹
The Queen had to most warm and friendly smile of anyone.
Rolf may be persona non grata. But i loved his portrait of the Queen. Never con fuse the value of the art with the virtue of the artist
11:02 Queen: The trouble is you see yourself aging in front of it.
Painter: Does that upset you?
Queen: Neh.
This is uncomfortable on so many levels....
He was barely that though. A few improper relationships and a loose hand.
Yes, it's uncomfortable because we now know what Rolf Harris turned out to be. But listening to the Queen speak here is still fascinating, and so far nobody has made any bad claims towards her. So imo this interview can still be watched for what it is becuase it's the Queen that makes it interesting, not Pedo Rolf.
OH GIVE OVER overdramatise
I love watching Rolf Harris I used to watch him growing up when I was a child I used to love his cartoons and him drawing painting them I think he was the perfect choice to draw paint the Queen of England 🇬🇧🌹♥️🦁and he did a really very good job and drew her with a bit of sense of humour and friendly which I rather liked and of course class a very enjoyable video indeed for me to watch thank you for sharing this ☺️👍🏻💯🥰😊👍🏻💯
Old bag
I hope he realizes what a privilege it was to have such access to her like that, up close, personal, relaxed small talk. The way she delivered that line, "... after I succeeded and got into her safe..."
wouldn't you say it's a privilege for her as well to get to have small talk? after all it's not like she gets to just talk to citizens everyday right
I really like the painting. That Rolf was an old lech is neither here nor there in relation to the paintings merits
I so loved ,sitting through this painting , thank you .
thankyou rolf u did a great job. well done. i like your drawrings
god bless our queen, she genuinely cared and wanted to know about rolf and his life and had a normal conversation with him
She didn't care enough to ask him about the kids he raped.
@@jackdubz4247 yes she obviously didn’t know about the kids he raped at that stage did she you muppet
@@nairemlap533 True. And his accusers didn't know at that stage either. Read rolfharrisisinnocent (just add a dot and the three letters 'c' followed by 'o' followed by 'm'.)
There is a $32 billion child trafficking industry out there and Harris was used to distract the masses in the wrong direction.
felt under-dressed so i paused the video, wore a 3 piece suit, made tea, baked biscuits and came back....now it feels right
I remember him slapping out full paintings in less than 5 minutes but he's taking ages here and he's made her look weird. It's the nearest thing to an interview with the Queen but what a shame it had to be with Rolph Harris!
Have none of you considered this?. Perhaps she enjoyed a conversation with somebody who was not sucking up to her and grovelling . He kept it very casual and she did seem very relaxed and not at all offended that he was so informal with her.
yeah well she is 80 years too old for his tastes...
Rosalind Mercer too bad she isn't 12 and he'd be asking for her number and shit😂
the queen is 90.
Hubert Shitmeyer wrong she was 80 at this time
L Rodd but she IS 90 by now, numbnuts.
Absolutely lovely video...thank you.
This will be controversial, but this is one of the best portraits of the Queen I have ever seen.
Queen Elizabeth has always been beautiful during her young life + today. Don't think anyone else is capable of fitting in the shoes of such a wonderful person she is. She looks younger than her age.
Harris is innocent. See www(dot)rolfharrisisinnocent(dot)com

Stop supporting greedy lawyers and their quest for money. Look at the way lawyers use the misguided, the deluded and the outright fraudulent.
Wendy Wild is a 54 year-old woman who is the 7 - 8-year-old mentioned by those who seek to demonise. This is the best example the muck rakers can think of to promote the theme of the male perpetrator + female victim.
Wendy Wild decided to go for some Harris money after she went bankrupt.
Wendy Wild alleged that Harris gave her a swift touch when she was at the head of an autograph queue, in a crowded hall 45 YEARS AGO.
Strangely she didn't tell anyone, strangely no one saw it happen.
It has been proven, by the police who were seeking evidence, that Harris was not at the location, a community hall in Leigh Park, Portsmouth, where she alleges this happened. Harris was not there either 3 years before or 3 years after the year that Wendy Wild was 7 years old.
The police searched the news archives, they questioned the staff of the hall in Portsmouth, they letter boxed residents of the town and they interviewed people in aged care facilities.
The police who did all this work are disgusted that Wendy Wild's accusation still resulted in a conviction.
All men should be warned by this. These are FACTS.
Hear hear!
That's because of the blood she drinks from the children she sacrificed
I bet that's gone right in the fucking bin! lol :O

It’s a real shame Rolf threw everything away for his own sexual gratification. He’s almost hypnotising in this, with his soothing voice, you just can’t help but be amazed by him. Rolf will always be plagued by what he has done and he’ll live with that regret until the end.
From what i know he has no regret, just contempt for his victim.
@@peterainsworth8026 News today Peter - he is dying of cancer.
... NO EXCUSES FOR THAT.!.. EVER..NO ACCIDENT..😇.. HAVE AN APPLE 🍎.. IT'S SUNDAY..🖖🤩
The soothing voice and gregarious demeanour are all just part of the sexual predators repertoire, how he gets close to his victims, and how he gets away with it for so long. He always was and is a vile human, I’m glad he’s so sick he can no longer eat and will likely be gone from this world in a very short time.
That's the majority of men unfortunately, ruled by dopamine and testesterone.. Fortunately u don't find men with low testosterone being perverts, rapists or paeodophiles...so something to be said bout losing testesterone as u age..should be spent by 25 lol...haha
So fascinating and interesting! And to see the Queen's personality while they chatted.
As much as I loved the Queen she wasn’t the easiest to strike a conversation with. She can be quite difficult. She is abrasive at times, and makes others uncomfortable with her lack of replies and awkward silences. I imagine it must have been difficult for Diana to try to build a relationship with her. I also found her to be sarcastic at times when people asked her questions or tried to come forward to help her. We all just say ahhh isn’t she lovely, but if that was an ordinary person you would say don’t talk to me in that fashion. She got away with however she spoke because she was Queen, and we already had a great respect for her, but she came across as rude at times.
It's nice to read these honest insider views. I think a lot of people fail to realise that the image of the Queen they have has been meticulously crafted through the media presentation that she's been given. And this is the problem with the entire royal family as an institution.
Unfortunately, when you raise people to believe they're better than everybody else by blood, it's not surprising that they're actually not very nice people in general. But none of that matters if the only exposure to them are images of them waving and smiling to the masses, delivering inspiration speeches they didn't write, and being told at every opportunity how wonderful they are and how everyone else adores them.
I don't like him but Charles seems a lot more outgoing and accessible in comparison. Even in correspondence he uses the first person instead of the Royal 'we'.
God bless The Queen of England for being a woman with great virtue.
Are you sure?
My favorite part was hearing the Queen speak of the other painters and paintings
I really really appreciated this video and will miss the queen dearly with her cute little self.
Rolf is like the British version of Bob Ross
He was Australian actually
Was Bob Ross a sex offender?
@@haileyshannon7548 no, but he married many women, the guy was promiscuous
Bob Ross was a landscape artist, not a portrait artist.
@@linniem5982 an artist nonetheless
Wonderful, excellent professional, no wonder you stand next to the wonderful queen that exists on this planet!
lol...."Have you painted anything with me today?".....classic!
I must confess I was worried first, but then, what an achievement ! That was a good job ! You do not betray her expression and we can find her in it ; thank you so much .
Thing is, the painter is a paedophile. Just out of prison.
Yes indeed what a lovely person !
This queen is not my queen, in my country we have no queen and we do not need one but we all deeply love this one !
11:07 when the queen says "nah" caught me offguard sounds like a regular old cockney person in a pub saying it
Rolf was clearly so privileged to paint the Queen's portrait.
He was a brilliant artist and credit has to be given for at least some of the positive things he left us with.
The portrait is stunning.
Nope.
Despite not knowing much about him and skipping through large chunks of this video... I think:
She's very classy and seemed relaxed.
He did a pretty nice job capturing her.
What a complicated and accomplished woman. So removed from the life most of us know.
I must say the portrait is an incredible piece of work much like the artist
This has aged well.
Perfect painting. He speaks full and also dramatically
Man I saw this guy as a kind hearted person good painter and great singer a shame of what he did
I kind of enjoyed the chit-chat and the anticipation of the Queen who acted with graciousness in making it pleasant for the artist. Even though she is having so many conversations during the day every day. You never hear of the Queen taking afternoon naps. Is she? I wonder.
What joy it was to watch your creative process...those small details you shared were like hidden diamonds wonderfully shared..your sincerity and interaction allowed the public to get to know the queen ...how pleasant demeanor..thanks for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter were totally different to Rolf Harris. For a start there was actual evidence against them. Rolf Harris (if you actually bother to look into the details of the trial and the unprofessional way the police "investigated" his case) was convicted mainly after trial by media before his case came to court and his whole trial was clouded by the first case dealt with by the court, that he was accused of having molested an 8 year old. The other charges against him at his first trial were tainted by the accusations made by the woman who claimed to be 8 years old at the time. However, when the details of her accusations were investigated thoroughly by investigators acting for Rolf Harris at his subsequent trials, it was shown that the whole thing had been made up and consequently he was found not guilty of that charge. However, as he had already been convicted, it was too late to prevent the jury from perceiving him as being a paedophile. The other accusations for which he was convicted were also provably false or at the very least based on accounts that when looked at or scrutinised, could not have happened the way it was claimed. He was found not guilty of all other charges brought at his second and third trial after "victims" had brought stories to operation yew tree after responding to requests for "victims" to come forward having been told "you will be believed" with newspapers of a certain type boasting of potential compensation for victims being in the tens of thousands if not more. None of the cases on their own would have been enough to convict anyone. However, the fact that Operation Yewtree presented their "evidence" as if there had been a pattern was enough for the jury to decide, against real evidence, that he was guilty. There is a book out now by this investigation team (Rolf Harris. The Defence Team's Special investigator Reveals The Truth Behind The Trials by William Merritt) which quite clearly illustrates the shocking stitch up Rolf Harris was subject to. Anyone who genuinely thinks Rolf Harris was treated fairly should read this account and it will shock you to the core that someone could be convicted on the flimsiest of evidence. I think there is a suggestion that Rolf Harris may have been a bit tactile at times with people (not those who made accusations as most of them provably did not come in to contact with him or others whose account would have been witnessed by people if they had been true) as was the behaviour of people in the 70s and 80s, which doesn't condone that sort of thing but it was almost certainly not as sexually aggressive as was portrayed in court and certainly not paedophilia. As the book points out, the Metropolitan Police investigating these crimes were, at the time, involved with their own questionable practice of stamping new female recruits as an initiation ceremony where young police woman had their bare bottoms stamped with the station stamp while everyone else looked on! I know there will be people who take issue with what I have said, but I suggest you do a bit of research first and not just rely on what you are told by the tabloid media. As I said, Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter were totally different cases, but unfortunately Rolf Harris was tarred with the same brush, as was nearly Cliff Richard, Paul Gambaccini, Jim Davidson, Freddie Starr etc. all of whose cases were dismissed or fund not guilty through a lack of evidence and believability of the complainants.
He admitted his crime against his daughters childhood friend in an apology letter to her family .
@@deepsouthNZ No he did not. The letter says nothing of the sort. He is sorry that the consensual relationship he had with his friend’s daughter had been painted as being something other than what he believed it had been for the many years it had been going on (from when she was 18 onwards) ie. one of affection and mutual feelings towards each other was suddenly being alleged to be something else. The relationship changed when it was ended and the girl tried to extort money from Rolf Harris. When she was unsuccessful, the relationship was portrayed as something more sinister (difficult to accept given the relationship - no matter how ill advised - had gone on until she was in her mid twenties). If it had been as abusive as she made out it seems unlikely she would have kept going back for more when there was no need. Read the book I mentioned in my original comment because it is covered more thoroughly and accurately there, by professional investigators actually doing their job and scrutinising what was alleged, to see if it stood up to investigation and it did not, beyond reasonable doubt.
She's savage I like her.
Lovely to see her so relaxed, she has wonderful smile. I'm not a Royalist at all and to be honest I believe it has run it's course, there is no place for it in the modern world but I have nothing but respect for this lady, she has been simply wonderful.
It's such a shame about Rolf, he was more than "just a celebrity'' he literally was a national treasure, its very upsetting to see his career and indeed possibly, his life, end this way.
I met Rolf briefly, about 20 years ago in Cardiff, He came across as such a warm, friendly gentleman, yet its clear now, He had a very dark sinister side.
it's upsetting.
Leighton Baller And now the value of homes in Bray has probably fallen significantly after he was released from prison!
I couldn't have said it better than you have here. It is very upsetting to me too. Ruined my enjoyment of him. So grossly offending. A shame as I believed he was a 'real natural'person. Just shows , you cannot be too careful in anybody.
Every time I see rolf on TV, I think it is a shame too . As a kid he was a hero , but a lot of 70s TV stars ruined it all too.
I'm not saying there's nothing in it, but media is a very cut-throat business full of egoists. Harris' demise may be more to do with professional jealousy than with what he did or didn't do
Where is the hard evidence. He got hung out to dry. What he did for aboriginal people in Australia shows a lot.
50:44 He just said thank you 5 times, Wow this is just too strange to watch.
Difficult to find the words. He seemed like such a nice guy. So much a part of the childhood of those of us who grew up in the 60s & 70s, and so talented. I still feel affection for him... but
But he was a nonce
You took the words out of my mouth. Can hours of childhood entertainment fondly invested in the memory banks be summarily dissolved by what transpired?
Don’t feel to guilty. When you research the case against Rolf Harris, it is amazing it ever got to court let alone that he was found guilty of anything. The prosecution’s case was based on provably inaccurate/false allegations. The “evidence “ appeared to be that if someone said it, it must be true - a witch-hunt no less. It’s exactly the same as someone popping up claiming you did something to them when they were a child and you being found guilty because “you will be believed” was what the police told the “victim”.
