      Alux sometime what you say is different from what you write on the screen, For example in this Video it was written that the queen has travelled 40,000 miles but the narrator said 400,000 miles. So which one is actually correct? 40,000 0r 400,000 miles

    The British monarchy is an important institution and is infathomably valuable to the United Kingdom. The monarchy supports the economy and the Queen is a long standing impotant diplomatic figure. The monarchy is certainly not an out-dated institution but an integral part of Britain.

    The Monarchy is certainly worth it and the character and refinement. I know as an American the British Royal Family shouldn't be a concern for me, but One can not themselves to be awed by the lavish lifestyle and the Pomp and Circumstance of the British Crown. God Save The Queen and The British Royal Family. Her visit to Virginia was so incredibly exciting. Being so close to the Monarch was breath taking. She is so strong and beautiful. She is a determined woman of whom I pray daily that her reign could last forever. There will be none like her...ever. When I think of Royalty, only Queen Elizabeth II matters. No other royal family has the same dignity and pomp as the British Royal Family. I pray everyday for your health and long reign. God Save The Queen. Long May She Reign.

  • @MandyJMaddison
    @MandyJMaddison 6 років тому +2

    This video poses the question about the usefulness of the monarchy.
    But it gives no indication of how very hard these people work.
    1. The Queen has been like a mother to her people. Her life has been one of dignity, faith, moral accountability and consistency. She vowed, at the age of 21, to serve her people to the best of her ability, all her life. And she has done so. While Parliaments, come and go, she has remained as a figurehead.
    2. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh has been her most loyal and hard-working subject, tireless in his charity work. His best known charity is the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme which works across Commonwealth countries, encouraging young people to strive for attainment. He has finally retired from public duties, at the age of 96.
    3. Charles, Prince of Wales, often receives less attention for his achievements and hard work than he receives criticisms for his failed marriage to Lady Diana Spencer. What should not be ignored is the Prince of Wales Trust which helps young people from financially deprived backgrounds to achieve their aims and establish themselves in small businesses or take a place in industries suiting their potential.
    Charles' other great gift to the UK has been his tireless support of environmentally soun rural practices. Charles, as Duke of Cornwall, pioneered sound farming practice in his own rural estate from the 1970s onwards, at a time when he was jeered at for being "Green". No-one is laughing NOW. The Duchy of Cornwall produces the finest beef, strawberries and other commercially available products in the country. Did you know THAT about the Royal Family?
    4. Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, the Queen's daughter, has gone through much of her life overlooked by the press, and little-known outside the UK. Why would the paparazzi pursue a young woman who was brisk, business-like, undemonstrative and never likely to be photographed topless, or dancing with John Travolta? So what does she do to earn her money? She is Colonel-in-Chief of an armoured regiment, she is chancellor of a university, she a member of the UK Olympic Committee, she is the head of the Worldwide Save the Children Fund, she is the founder and patron of Riding for the Disabled, she is deacon of a number of guilds, she has a major role in maintaining the well-being of people in jails.
    5. Other Royals who are regularly occupied in Royal duties because of their patronage of different charities and support of causes and institutions include include the Queen's sons, the Duke of York and the Earl o Wessex; the Queen's cousins, (who are now all elderly) the Dukes of Gloucester and Kent, Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Marina.
    Altogether, their patronage and support helps to bring in funds to the various organisations.
    When the Queen and Duke were younger, they were out and about a good deal. Many of these duties are now falling to Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Anne, and now Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry.
    Typically, a member of what is called "The Family Firm" will be engaged in duties that involved many visits. (This doesn't include State Occasions). A person, say the Princess Royal, might fly to a town, say Manchester, in the morning, having spent time in preparation with an aide, and knowing the names of the people to be met, and any vital issues. She would then attend a function in the morning, then a luncheon, and another event in the afternoon. All along the way, between the various venues, there will be crowds of people and schoolchildren all wanting attention. The Royal person might have to make several formal speeches, or perhaps just say a few less formal words. Some of the meetings might be very challenging, if there has been a local disaster, or distress or protests over unemployment or some such. Typically, the person will then fly back to London and finish the day by attending a board meeting, or formal dinner. It is all very exhausting, requires being pleasant, shaking a great many hands, listening to people's stories and being on top of a great deal of information. Then there are the State Occasions which might involve wearing a military dress uniform. The Queen always used to take the salute at the annual Trooping of the Colour, in uniform and on horseback, but now in their nineties, she and the Duke travel in an open carriage. If you have the opportunity to attend this function, it is a grand sight!

    The crown estate is technically the monarch's property, though they allow the state to profit off them in exchange for an allowance, given the crown lands weren't very profitable during the reign of George III. When the monarch ascends the throne, they sign away their right to profit from them, but not their ownership and although every monarch since George III has done so, it's not required.

For a start all RR's cars are actually (from 1998 onwards) have always been manufactured by BMW, the only thing RR manufacture themselves in the UK are the jet engines from their factory in Derby. Also the Magna Carta (has a term in latin meaning The Great Charter of the Liberties) states no Monarchy is above the law, now if they can cover things up using certain approaches then that's another matter."

    The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II does not appear on all United Kingdom banknotes. It appears only on Bank of England notes, and only then since it first appeared in 1960 on a new issue of the £1 note. The notes of the various banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland who are authorized to issue notes do not bear (and never have borne) a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Incidentally, there is no such a person as the Queen of England.

    Hi you guys have forgotten to mention that the Queen is the guardian of the Royal collection this is a fabulous collection of paintings jewels furniture porcelain clocks and stamps .May I go on to say that the Queens grant does include the Prince of Wales his wife and children. The Prince of Wales 's house hold gets the income from land he owns in Cornwall and in other parts of the country. The Prince users this revenue to help run his house hold and does not get a penny from the sovereigns grant. The Queens flight was am afraid to say was not mentioned either these are helicopters planes and fast jets . The Sovereign also owns land in Lancaster and one of the Queens titles is that of the Duke of Lancaster the Queen owes land there's too and this forms all her personal income. That is enough from me am off to save the World right now.

    At .43, a really badly selected photograph, given that it accompanies a statement about how she is Queen of the Commonwealth realms. THAT s not a country over which she is queen THAT appears to be Germany.
    At 3.50. The Queen owns a third of the swans on the Thames. The others are owned by the Guild of Vintners and the Guild of Dyers. The young swans are marked every year with nicks on their beaks symbolising ownership by the guilds. The Queen's swans are unmarked. The River Thames is pronounced "Tems". (Th as in Thomas)
    At 7:11, That dark red car is one of the Queen's Bentleys. NOT a Rolls Royce.
    At 8:48 There is an image which, for the US would be a most extraordinary sight. Here is the Head of State, a real live Monarch, setting out on an important occasion, in the year of er Diamond Jubilee. There are road barricades and crowds of people. But WHERE is her escort? One police motorcycle, and a single Land Rover! The Queen does things in tremendous style for an event like the State Opening of Parliament, when she arrives in a gold-bedecked coach drawn by white horses and with the cavalry accompanying her. But on other occasions, she travels far more simple than a president of the United States would do.

      Andrew scott it's both, there was a time when the two brands were intertwined around the Great Depression.

Buckingham palace itself is worth over $1B. It is without a doubt that she as the Queen and not Elizabeth is amongst the richest people in the world

    • @famalam8714
      @famalam8714 7 років тому +3

      Joe MacDougall its not public property. It belongs to the State which in turn belongs to the Crown. Elizabeth personally does not own the Palace but as the Queen, she does. As soon as she dies or abdicates, she no longer owns the Palace. She does have the right as her capacity as the Queen to do as she wishes to the Palace
