Joan Thunder Commonwealth realms refers to places where the Queen is head of state. So places like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the rest. And the empire is still alive we still own 14 territories so quit being such a bellend about it.
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. :)
WhatStef And yet I bet no one has lmao. She’s a pro at hiding her emotions and true feelings which I personally admire. I’m not a fan of public displays of emotions.
Yeah at that point I envisioned her jumping up taking of her top and swinging it in a circle around her head. Lol. I would love to see what shes like when she has those moments of feeling free. 🤔
@@HM-xi5zi Sorry to hear you have trouble with reality, Hidzzy. To be human is to feel and to live emotionally - it's part of our reptilian brain. Logic and reason sets us apart from all the other living things, of course, but long before the frontal lobes developed, we functioned emotionally on our "true feelings."
@@duantorruellas716 I doubt she has "moments of feeling free." She was born TRAPPED into playing a role not of her choosing. She's done it exceptionally well but it's cost her her FREEDOM.
@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!
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.
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..
I like his painting and how he approaches the work. The same method I was taught in my final years at art school. This portrait has a wonderful freshness and immediacy. Like it very much.
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?
I hope the reputation of the artist doesn’t permanently ruin our view of this painting. It’s really a departure for portraits of HM and we loved it when it was unveiled. I still do.
@@bradford_shaun_murray That painting is by Lucian Freud, grandson of Sigmund Freud and one of the foremost portrait painters of the 20th century. His portraits sell for tens of millions of pounds.
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 loved how she was like... I’m sitting here sick as a dog and you’re focusing on my watch, the chair, the curtain, the pearls, the broach, the aqua of my dress. Are you actually going to paint my FACE? What a git! Lol.
Mike Dennington, She looks to me exactly like a person who is keeping still to have her portrait painted. She has consent to the filming, and understands that Harris, as an entertainer, will alk for the benefit of the audience who will watch the film. If there was no camera present, he probably would not talk so much.
Stuart Johns no he’s stalking his local school grounds near his house .... they told him to go home he said he was looking for “art supplies” Rolf Harris, even on the sex offended register, he’s still hanging around little kids.
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.
...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!😊
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.
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 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 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!
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
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 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'.)
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
She had such a warm and beautiful smile. Specially when she was younger. She was a very beautiful women with or without being a royal. She was phenomenally pretty in her youth. And very charming and graceful as the years went by and as she aged.
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 remembered seeing it back when I lived in London and before I heard all of these heartbreaking stories about him. I once watched Rolf on art. The most depressing and amusing aspect is to imagine a predator coming so close to the Queen and bringing such dishonor.
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.
Did you know Archbishop Mann and his wife? They stayed with us once when I was a kid, and I helped make them scones so they would feel at home. It was so cool to have tea with someone who knew her. I got confused and thought he was the archbishop of Canterbury.
The fact that this woman can quite comfortably engage in small talk with pretty much anyone and everyone without giving anything away of herself and has done so for decade upon decade is really quite remarkable. But then she has had years to perfect her craft. And we should ignore the revelation of Harris's child abuse history, it has no bearing on this episode in his life. Personally I think he did a grand job of capturing the Queen.
MY GOD YOU WOULD EXCUSE HIS EVIL WAYS W T F I HOPE YOU HAVNT CHILDREN BUT I WONDER WOULD YOU JOHN PAUL DIXON FEEL THE SAME IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD HE MOLESTED AND THERE LIFE RUINED PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SICK HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LET OUT OF PRISON EVIL GETS EVIL
You can see just how deeply impressed with himself he is, hanging on every single word, being ever so careful not to move too quickly for we might just miss a whole second of the ultimate harris charm and intellect. In the U.S. we have our version of this man, and his name is Cosby.
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 .
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.
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.
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”.
This was actually so fantastic. What a glorious thing to come across since her Majesties passing! To see her humour and natural self is a wonderful thing!
@@joeyboi87 I certainly hope that monster's portrait has been destroyed, I believe it has. Her Majesty had no idea she was being pained by a sexual predator until afterwards, which is why it left the Royal Collection sharpish...
@@paulgibson2516 Portrait is portrait and se.predator is sexual predator. Why should it be destroyed? His portrait is quite as good as the Australian painter`s. Have the charges been proved?
I don't know how we'll cope when this wonderful woman finally end her reign, so to speak. 67 years as monarch is unlikely to be surpassed, but then they said the same about Victoria. She is totally relaxed during the first sitting.

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"!
...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 wasn't really there to paint the Queen, he was swapping stories with Prince Andrew.
Uh oh...
haha priceless
Paul Marshall just because you know someone who is later unmasked as a sexual predator doesn’t make you one. Anyone can end up in Andrews position,
OMG you went there!
@@bojack40 Only someone who has no moral compass! So not anyone!
I love the queens sense of humour
Yeah its as dry as an old dog shite that has been dehydrated by the sun. and dat be dry.
@@jazzkat8322 minge or humour?
@@neillp3827 Humour but probably minge too😊
@@jazzkat8322do you know what minge is😂
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.
Chatting like two old friends. She was just charming and elegant. Rest In Peace Your Majesty.
oh yeah, i saw that painting at a car boot sale last week..50p

You can tell the queen has visited Scotland a fair amount of times when she says “nah” 😂
She's so modest and down to earth, just sweet and wonderful in every way.
Her sense of humour was amazing this was for her 80th birthday as I recall …
The Queen didn't look 80 here. Beautiful lady 🌹
This was wonderful to watch at the time.
I so wish to have that moment back
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
I am amazed by what a nice and lovely personable lady the Queen is...I think he did achieve a very good likeness...
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
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 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!
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!
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
+Ejm Mc keep dreaming
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
The Queen it's very friendly and has a beautiful smile.
What a classy, wonderful woman she is!
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
Fantastic! The most perfect ! The queem is perfect!!!! Congratulations!
The Queen had to most warm and friendly smile of anyone.
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.
Oh so he was an artist..i got shouted in highschool by my art teacher in australia when i said rolf harris did paintings.. thankyou miss cassotti.
So much admiration, respect, and genuine thumbs up for HRH The Queen. I am so privileged to be alive through some of her rein.
HM - and its reign.
felt under-dressed so i paused the video, wore a 3 piece suit, made tea, baked biscuits and came back....now it feels right
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....
11:02 Queen: The trouble is you see yourself aging in front of it.
Painter: Does that upset you?
Queen: Neh.
So fascinating and interesting! And to see the Queen's personality while they chatted.
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
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.....
She's so lovely I just can't. I'd cry if I were ever to meet her...
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.
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
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
This will be controversial, but this is one of the best portraits of the Queen I have ever seen.
I so loved ,sitting through this painting , thank you .
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.
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.
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.
She had such a warm and beautiful smile. Specially when she was younger. She was a very beautiful women with or without being a royal. She was phenomenally pretty in her youth. And very charming and graceful as the years went by and as she aged.
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 remembered seeing it back when I lived in London and before I heard all of these heartbreaking stories about him. I once watched Rolf on art. The most depressing and amusing aspect is to imagine a predator coming so close to the Queen and bringing such dishonor.
What predator? Read rolfharrisisinnocent ( just add a dot and the three letters 'c' followed by 'o' followed by 'm'.)
God bless The Queen of England for being a woman with great virtue.
Are you sure?
Wonderful, excellent professional, no wonder you stand next to the wonderful queen that exists on this planet!
50:44 He just said thank you 5 times, Wow this is just too strange to watch.
I think his painting, of the queen, was superb.
.
My favorite part was hearing the Queen speak of the other painters and paintings
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.
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 !
I really really appreciated this video and will miss the queen dearly with her cute little self.
I never heard the queen be so vocal before. I literally hung off her every word. Shes the only Queen I've known in my lifetime.
The same for me. However, half my life was spent working for her.
@@mscott3918 do you know her in real life?
Did you know Archbishop Mann and his wife? They stayed with us once when I was a kid, and I helped make them scones so they would feel at home. It was so cool to have tea with someone who knew her. I got confused and thought he was the archbishop of Canterbury.

The only good part about this is the Queen.. she’s freakin awesome
She is amazing.
she seem bit snobby though - sometim he r face lookes like bad smell in the room 9:52
@@bradford_shaun_murray perhaps it was the turps! She was an amazing lady, a wonderful Queen, and we've been privileged to have her leadership.
The fact that this woman can quite comfortably engage in small talk with pretty much anyone and everyone without giving anything away of herself and has done so for decade upon decade is really quite remarkable. But then she has had years to perfect her craft. And we should ignore the revelation of Harris's child abuse history, it has no bearing on this episode in his life. Personally I think he did a grand job of capturing the Queen.

Thing is, the painter is a paedophile. Just out of prison.
Man I saw this guy as a kind hearted person good painter and great singer a shame of what he did
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.
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.
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”.
I’d be really annoyed if he spent time painting the dress and stuff. I would only sit for him to paint my face.

Perfect painting. He speaks full and also dramatically
I don't know how we'll cope when this wonderful woman finally end her reign, so to speak. 67 years as monarch is unlikely to be surpassed, but then they said the same about Victoria. She is totally relaxed during the first sitting.

September: she is dead.
Well, here we are, we've lost her. It leaves a hole that will never be filled, but we can look forward to King Charles's reign in expectant hope.
