  • This special, broadcast on BBC One on 1 January 2006, showed the creation of Harris's 80th birthday portrait painting of Queen Elizabeth II. It was highly publicised because the Queen had never been seen on such a programme before. In it, Harris goes to Buckingham Palace where he meets the Queen and paints her in an impressionist style.

      @@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."

      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.

      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..

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
