Everything sounds like a Disney production in those times.
Lovely🥰
yessss 😍
Exactly. Maybe it was fashionable
The music!
Or a Kenmore commercial from the 50's, lol.
Prince Philip looked dashing like a Disney prince. This is like watching a movie... Incredible!! 👏
I find king george VI more good looking than Philip. He really looked royal but it was this beautiful and humble quality that sets him apart.
@@yogeshsawant4934 Both George and Philip were handsome but I prefer Philip because he's much taller.
To see Queen Mary smile is definitely a treat. She always seemed so stern.
They don't know the prince has grown up and he is old now and after 73 years of this event, it's recommended for people's watching!
History is good.
So?!
How would they know? That’s life bud, that’s how time works people get old overtime smh
@@xfinity319 Seems that way when you're 20, though.
And he shalt now be crowned King
How lucky family they are , even the queen herself has footages of her childhood ! They are privileged, not everyone was able to capture these moments that time.
My grandmother was born the exact same day and year as the Queen...but as a poor peasant girl. She is dead 20 years now but all i have of her entire youth is a single photo of her taken at 18. Because of their same birthdays i often contrast how different and difficult my poor grannies life was in comparison.
@@serenaDM yea thats said aint it, Imaigne if we have footages of all phases of our parents, grand parents getting ready for school/work on vacations it would be so fun to watch
"Privileged " is indeed a glorious understatement. Probably the most privileged people on Earth ...
Blame the immigrants long live king Charles
Yeah my Grandmother and Grandfather only has a photo of their wedding...
That's the only young photo they have...
It’s funny how the queen has seen all the different patch of clothes through the years from the 30s to now
Shes literally experienced history too
she's also seen how structures and buildings changed :')
It’s iconic ain’t it
@@hafizahb1315 Ikr! She herself lived the history
ive always thought of how incredible it is to live throughout the horrors of wars, tecnological improvements, cars, tv, computers and now cellphones. i dont know if it would be intersting for us 2000+ born people
Literally UA-cam is the closest thing to Time traveling
The Queen Mother was so happy to hold her 1st grandson 💙. She & Prince Charles were very close.
And Charles proposed to his second wife on one knee with her engagement ring too, he was definitely very close to the queen mother by all accounts.
Too close for good unfortunately. It was she who was said to have told Charles that he had to make a good marriage but could have a mistress on the side, advice he clearly took to heart and acted on.
I believe she left most of her jewlery to Charles which is why we see Camilla wear so many of the Queen Mother's pieces
Time flies on restless pinions. The baby is now a 72 y/o grandpa to four kids (soon to be 5); his father, the dashing duke of Edinburgh, passed away almost three weeks ago at the ripe old age of 99; and his young mother, the queen, has just turned 95 three days ago.
Soon to be SIX!
@@stellarocquie7957 it’s five William has three Harry will have two
Replying in 2022 and the Queen passed away a week or so ago, so Charles is now King Charles III with Queen Consort Camilla
The future King......is now the King
😂😂😂😂😂
Queen elizabeth just doesn’t trust charles enough to pass the crown just yet. Lol.
LOL
@@nicoler.1718 lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So sweet! The Queen Mother is just tickled pink to hold her first grandchild
The queen mother at the time was Queen Mary.
Подробно детально разбираю анализы крови. Полностью расписываю каких витаминов и минералов не хватает.
She’s the one who turned him into a spoilt entitled brat. She also made Philip’s life a misery because she didn’t want her daughter to marry him! The more I learn about her the more I dislike her.
@Stella Musafiri I'm saying who was called Queen Mother at the time of Charles birth was Queen Mary because George VI was still king. Then she became the queen grandmother (i believe that was the only point in history that the United Kingdom had three queens alive). But the one we know more as the queen mother is Queen Elizabeth (the mother of Queen Elizabeth II, they have the same name.)
The Queen's mother is Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Mary of Teck was the Queen's grandmother as the mother of then King George VI.
Baby prince is such a good sleeper. No matter what... and then session with mum is over, nanny takes it away.
Hahahaaaa
Charles was honestly very lucky to have both his great grandmothers at his christening
Well I was also lucky when I was born. My paternal grandmother mother was there and even my maternal grandmother mother was there. Even my paternal grandfather mother was also there
2 out of his 4 great grandmothers. One of my great grandmother's was present at my christening
1:47 “...brother of the Queen”. I was like wait the Queen doesn’t have any brothers? And then I realized it was back then when the Queen was not the Queen yet...
Детально разбираю анализы крови. Расшифрую очень подробно.
Plus, they look EXACTLY alike!
@@linaletsgo9466 Та йой!
It was queen Mary's brother.... Both the Elizabeth's didn't have brothers...
@@babagama4232 the queen Mother had brothers and many btw
Life is such a fascinating thing to witness. Almost all people in this video are gone to where ever by now
Elizabeth was only 22 and Philip was 27. George was king at the time. I think he was 53
I love seeing how delighted Queen Mary looks when she's holding, the future king.
Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip have always been a beautiful couple
Queen Elizabeth has always been at the center of everything even though her father was king
And in this instance thats because she was the mother of the kid being cristined.
@Stella Musafiri but is he getting more attention really though, have a think about that! I think his brother Harry getting the attention more don’t you think
@@kirstaeb1628 Harry was getting more attention through his antics (Las Vegas naked photo, the Nazi uniform , fights with Paparrzzi) etc
Queen Elizabeth was still princess Elizabeth in this video. Her mother was the queen here
Love how Prince Philip adjusts the pillow behind his wife’s back. Personal respect and loyalty towards his new family.
That is one proud and strong great grandmother!
Queen Mary of teck
He was like 7 lbs dude
@@SSs-ch4eyQueen Mary went through so much in her life. She was incredibly strong, even during the time of the abdication of Edward VIII. She is very happy here. No one cares about the weight of the baby 😂! Her happiness is overwhelming.
Man, i wasn't even alive during George VI reign, but why do i miss him after watching this video
IKr. He looks like he was a good man.
which one is george VI
@@Legend-v5vls 1:02 the one on the left if you still don't know
He was such a great man! They lose him so soon
I completely understand that don't know why I feel like I'm spose to be around back then weird eh
These clips are strangely addictive and comforting to me. My father and King Charles III were close in age, so I feel like this is something he might have watched himself as a kid.
Prince Charles = Wake me up when I become KING 🤴
That's gonna be a VERY long nap.
Lol the queen is immoral
@@samadams2575 immortal, dear
He is probably dreaming about camilla
@Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg-Gotha oh my god! Are you hearing yourself, Elizabeth Alice Windsor?
Of course the Royal’s could afford such videos/photos but, it’s also so incredible to see. I mean it’s priceless video of those passed and now elderly themselves like the Prince.
A momentous occasion! The grandparents looking as proud as the parents!
1:58 The old woman sitting right to future Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary is Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine. She is the granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Two of her younger sisters are Empress Alexandra (wife of Tsar Nicholas II) and Princess Elizabeth were killed during the Russian Revolution. She is the mother of Princess Alice of Battenberg and grandmother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
No that is Elisabeth s grandmother donwager queen Mary . The mother of her father then King. You can see her at the King s coronation
What old woman?
@@marionarda2790 No, the small old woman sitting right to Queen Elizabeth and Queen mary
@@naufala93 she was prince phillip maternal grandmother
and now 73 years later , he becomes king
I like the Queen , she smile a lot 😍
I feel like the queen mother (back then the queen) smiled more than the queen today. I wonder why
@@samadams2575 YES the queen mother was a smiley person.
Prince Philip was gorgeous
Indeed. He really was. But for some reason I find his father in law even more attractive🤣
I love seeing the joy in everyone's faces. Seems as if King George had so few occasions to be really happy. And Queen Mary's big smile as she's holding baby Charles is priceless.
You can tell the Queen Mother is sooo in love with her new grandson Prince Charles.
My eyes are stuck to Prince Philip. He's now my crush..see you on the other side sir, but not too soon for me lols haha
Its so strange to hear “ princess Elizabeth “ we r used to hear Queen Elizabeth 😂😃
Очень подробно расшифровываю анализы крови. Кому надо - обращайтесь.
She was queen about 4 years later
Then imagine when the brits are going to sing "God save our gracious king..." It doesn't really sound right...
Just like how it's strange to now hear "King Charles" as we are used to hearing "Prince Charles"
Thank you for sharing this video. Really enjoyed seeing how happy they all were. And the King! He sure was proud of his new grandson
Charles was such a cute baby.
I loved this reel .Thank you so much for posting. 🧡
Charles had two great grandmothers at his Christening. The first was Queen Mary. The second, The "Dowager Marchioness of Milford Haven", Prince Philip's grandmother, was actually born Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, daughter of Princess Alice, Queen Victoria's second daughter. She was a remarkable individual, and a senior member of The Royal Family in her own right. Her mother died at a relatively young age taking care of her ill children in Hesse, Germany. One of her sisters was Tsarina Alexandra, who would be killed by the Bolsheviks along with her husband, Tsar Nicholas in 1918. Princess Victoria was married to Prince Louis of Battenberg Former First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff of the United Kingdom- one of the architects of the modern British navy. She was very British, and was considered quite liberal in outlook. After her husband was removed from his office for "being too German" during the First World War (he died a broken man in 1921), she retired to Kensington Palace. She would step in as Prince Philip's grandmother and raise him after his own mother, the deaf Princess Alice, was institutionalized by a range of issues in the 1920's and 30's.
*And this baby is now His Majesty, King Charles III.*
Prince Philip's funeral brought me here. Wildly interesting historical document, seeing this film.
I just love seeing Queen Mary in these old movies. And Princess Elizabeth with Prince Philip, what a dashing couple. Queen Elizabeth and King George look so happy.
Though King George VI never got the chance to live as long as his wife, at least he got the chance to see his daughter have a child.
Two children, he got to meet Princess Anne as well
Wow this is so amazing ❤️ his nan couldn't stop smiling. Geez queen elizabeth is beautiful then and now and his great grandmother got a snuggle in there too. wow so awesome thank goodness everyone is sharing the royal families history so we can can witness thise happy moments.💖
She wasn’t queen yet in this video
I think this is the first time i've seen George VI and Charles in one reel
Watching this in September 2022, a week or so after the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - 'Prince' Charles is now King Charles III
The Queen...such a young and beautiful princess.♥️God bless her.
Very proud grandparents an great grandmother 🙂
Ok so once upon a time Prince Charles was a baby .
It’s crazy seeing the King being held by the queen, the wife of George V, the king during World War I
What a wonderful film. I love old films.
Only King Charles is alive in this video
Everyone else is dead in the footage?
True
For me, the end, was so sad, when the prince was passed to the nurse, while staying in mammy’s arms where is the best place in the world 🥲
He was asleep, they put him in his bed.
Baby Charles is the only one not trying to force a smile.😆 Prince Philip was so dashing..
Didn't actually realise he was called Charles of Edinburgh, does that mean that the Queen was the Duchess of Edinburgh before she became Queen?
Yes she was. Her full title was "Princess Elizabeth, duchess of Edinburgh"
Of course. She was the wife of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Her father was also duke of york, so she was princess elizabeth of york before that
@@evacope1718 That was two styles previous. She was born Princess Elizabeth of York, but at age 10 when her father became King she then became simply HRH The Princess Elizabeth until she got married. She was never Princess Royal because her father's only sister, Princess Mary, was given the title in 1932, four years before Elizabeth would have been eligible for it, and lived well into Elizabeth's reign as Queen.
1 year late but in case still don’t know, the Queen was Duchess of Edinburgh from 1947 to 1952.
Who would have guessed he would grow up to be so goofy
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
Lol my thoughts exactly! Ugh 🤦🏾♀️
Lol thx for speaking my thoughts 😂🤣
A future king in her arms.
@Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg-Gotha lol the queen is immoral
Hardly the first time
The way he eats, Queen may out live him
Honestly I just can’t picture people accepting those two as being king and queen. It should really skip a generation
He just became King today.
The Queen looked so overjoyed holding her grandson. Hard to believe we are watching different reigning monarchs at this particular time the film was originally recorded.
I love the music.
Lovely to see the Queen’s father/King George!
Beautiful memories
the beginning of this film sounds like romeo and juliet
Prince Charles was christened on Wednesday December 15th 1948. The cinema newsreel was the only way the public could see pictures of the christening. BBC Television Service on this date was on air for barely 4 hours, and had no television news program.
The King and Queen look so pleased with their Grandson
The Queen Mother is chuffed. Beautiful.
God Bless Royal Family Happy 2022*
Baby Charles was so cute, sleeping through the whole video. 🤣
And now that baby's King Charles III ❤️❤️
So cool to see a granddaughter of Queen Victoria present. Princess Victoria of Hesse later known as Marchioness of Milford Haven. 1863-1950
Don’t forget about Victoria Of Hesse-Darmstadt ,sister of the last Tsarina of Russia and maternal grandmother of Philip, she’s next to princess Elisabeth and Queen Mary. Her history is quite more interesting than the history of the Kings.
She was also Queen Victoria's granddaughter and mother-in-law of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden
Do tell
Is she the one sitting at the other side of Elizabeth?
@@garyrobertson7107 yes 👍🏻
@@phtevenz yes and the first cousin of a lot of royals
I love your smile your Majesty. Rest in Love my Queen 👑❤️😭
And they are recommending me it after 73 years of his birth 🐸
He’s not 73 until November.
The baby is now The King.
Its Crazy how time flys
@@sunshinewing5517 Technically he could’ve become King at any time, even the day after this video was taken… if his mother & grandfather both died suddenly, he’d be King immediately no matter how young he was
Quanto amore c'è negli occhi della regina madre.
Dying old really is a special thing (decades go by - you get to see and experience so many interesting things). I feel sorry for younger ppl who’ll never know how beautiful life was before devices were glued to hands, who’ll never understand what nostalgia means. Ppl these days are too robotic (not memorable, same-ey).
Prince Philip is a real disney prince so dashing
And none of his kids or grandkids took after him
Darum hat ja auch die Königin ihn weggeschnappt 😊
Memories! 💜
Lovely ❤❤❤❤❤
Que fofura de bebê 😍
To the Queen’s right, you can see Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine. A very rare sighting. She and Irene were the only two surviving sisters out of four. Her other two sisters Alexandra, the Empress of Russia, and Elisabeth, were both brutally murdered during the revolution.
Yes, so sad if werent murdered both would have been alive during 1940s
😍beautiful ...👼❤🌞
The Queen looks so happy and in love.
I feel colorblind while watching this
I wonder how many people in this video are still living today
Queen Elizabeth and Charles most likely.
Only 2 i think.
@@sandratruster3305 It would of been 3 but prince philip has died .
@@jacobmcn4963 *have
Only King Charles now
The queen looks sooo young here
She was 22 years old and Philip was 27.
Its crazy how many decades the queen has seen
Nostalgia
rainha mãe era adoravel!!
Aaaw sweet❤️❤️
The Queen Consort (at the time ) seems so pleased with her new grandson.
Queen mary has strong vibes. . Love this. . Mother of queen has smooty vibes. . Love this too 💛💛
He was a beautiful baby.
Rest, little one; it will be a difficult future.
Prince was held by his great grandmother from his dad side.
What background music is this? Is it waltz?
He has now become king. Wow.
Greatness
Queen Elizabeth’s Mother is my favourite Royal; she was so lovely and warm natured 🥰
Queen was so beautiful..❤
I wish I could go back in time.
The Dowager Marchioness of Milford Haven - Prince Philip’s grandmother and sister of the last Tsarina of Russia, Alexandra.
