Now that I have had a few days to process everything that is happening and going to happen in regards to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, I thought this would be a good opportunity to take a step back and look into the final hours of the queen. Here in America there were some very general reports about the circumstances of the Queen's passing but as far the as details go I have not heard anything specific. That is why I am very interested to react and learn about Queen Elizabeth’s final hours from this video, from my American point of view. If you enjoy my reaction feel free to leave a like, comment, or subscribe for more videos like this!
Hi, your problem is not getting British understatement. When we heard ' Her doctors are concerned ' and the family are gathering most Brits would have known that this was the end.
Yes translation to Brits was literally, brace yourself, it's bad.
@@hilarygibson3150 definitely, I knew right away what it meant
I’m in NZ and I understood. Stayed up watching for updates from midnight to 530am just to make sure I did not miss it. Was hoping for the best but then realised the best thing was for her to be reunited with her lost loved ones. RIP QE2 🇳🇿❤️🇬🇧
True, it was horrific news. 😢🇬🇧
@@Sassin777 Bless you Vale Miss, thank you NZ. 🙏❤️🇬🇧
Anne is a star. She carries out hundreds of official engagements a year without any fuss. You only ever hear of her when something like this happens. The rest of the time she’s just getting on with the job.
Anne was the one who stuck by her side and escorted her mothers coffin from Balmoral to Aberdeen, then to Edinburgh, through to London. She is incredible and given he's in her 70s herself, I don't know how she did it without collapsing with exhaustion. The woman is incredible x
I live in UK. I had a strong suspicion that she was probably dying. When her doctors said they were very concerned for her health, and yet she wasn't being taken to hospital. In other words there was nothing they could do to make her better, so she was just being made comfortable as possible in her own home. Balmoral was her favourite place to be, so fitting for her to spend her final hours there.
Wow! Congratulations Nostradamus.
@@mikelheron20 That was unnecessary. It has happened to me and many people. When you get notified that a very frail relative is being ‘kept comfortable’, you are basically being told it’s end of life care’ so prepare for the worse. Even though you know that it’s going to happen and in my mothers case was a blessed relief, the emotional shock is a stunning blow. It’s takes nothing to be kind.
It’s been quite a few weeks. Seismic.
@@mikelheron20 is there any need? You can know something logically and still be surprised by it. I don’t think most people ever really expected that she’d actually go one day even though we knew she wasn’t immortal. Don’t be flippant with people. Everyone deserves basic respect
Thanks for the insight Debbie
When Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen was under medical supervision, then when we heard the family were rushing to Balmoral and all the news presenters changed into black clothes, I think deep down we all knew that the announcement that we'd all been dreading would soon be made
very brave that the queen shook the new priministers hand ....even though she was weak and dying slowly..she managed to smile and be gracious....amazing!!
She was an amazing woman.
She pledged at 21 years old "that her life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to the service of the nation and to the imperial family of nations (the Commonwealth)"
And she kept her promise.
She was suffering from bone cancer. But none of us knew as she continued to make public engagements and always with that beautiful beautiful smile and carried out her duty to meet with Liz Truss 2 days before her death.
A commentator said that later, she even wrote to comfort some place which had met with some weather disaster
The queen loved Balmoral ,she was free to roam, the locals respected her privacy it was her happy place .theres a funny story about the time she came across some American hikers who had no idea who they was talking to she told them she was holidaying in the area but she lived in London . a great person with character who will be missed
As a Brit thank you for showing your interest in and respect for The Queen
The Queen stayed at her private Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle, from July until early October every year.
In point of fact, the Monarch does *not* swear in the new Prime Minister, but rather invites them to form a new government if he/she is in a position to do so.
We flew to the UK, stood in line for 9 hours and saw the Queen lying in state. Then we went to Buckingham to see the flowers and the Palace.
Tyler I cried for almost a month she personified the grandmother to us all....and I'm crying again 😢 the loss will be with us always. When she was 21 she vowed to serve her country for her entire life and she did just that 😭😭😭😭 in the past she would have gone to London but we all know she decided to stay in the castle to pass away 🥺😢😭 I think deep down we all knew that she would follow her beloved Prince Philip sooner rather than later, she loved him from the age of 13 but only started courting him from 18, so she loved her husband for 83 years
It was a shock but not a surprise. When the Queen moved court from Windsor Castle to Balmoral Castle a lot of people suspected she wouldn’t return from there, when The Queen then had the outgoing and incoming PM’s fly up to Scotland for their meeting it pretty much confirmed it, I just don’t think we all quite expected it to be so soon. When the Palace made an announcement on the Queens health it was highly irregular so we knew this wasn’t just something that was going to pass. Balmoral Castle in Scotland was The Queens favourite place in the whole world, if she could have chosen anywhere to pass away it would have been up in The Scottish Highlands. The Queen would also have been very conscious of the fact that if she passed away in her beloved Scotland then her beloved Scot’s people would get a full ceremonial event in Scotland. There was things going on with the Queens health for months but The Palace always play down Royal health issues for the monarch’s dignity and also to damp down speculation and panic. The company that makes all the flags for The Royal family is near where I live and they suspected it was coming some weeks ago when they received an order for a Royal standard that was clearly the dimensions of a coffin drape. We all took her for granted, she had been there like forever lol. No there were never questions about The queen and princess Royal’s relationship, they adored each other. Princess Anne used to be a rider on team GB’s 3 day eventing team she won a silver medal, her daughter zara Tindal is also an Olympic equestrian and has won Gold and Silver for team GB.
Love your intuitive reactions and your willingness to learn about the UK. Our queen will be so missed. RIP Your Majesty and thank you.🙏
The Princess Royal Anne was staying with her mother. Charles was also already in Scotland and had been seeing her daily so it didn't take him long to get there. Unfortunately, the Queen's other two children Andrew and Edward were in London and she had passed by the time they got there. Edward's wife Sophie was like her daughter and was also on the flight to be with her. Of course William was there to drive his aunt and uncles to see her. By the next day all of her grandchildren arrived and looked at the flowers laid at the gates. So sad her granddaughters, Zara Phillips (Anne's daughter), Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie (Andrew's daughters) and Lady Louise Windsor (Edward's daughter) were all so emotional it was heartbreaking to see. Peter Phillips (Anne's son) was also there. The only grandchild that did not go to Balmoral was James (Edward's son). He is only 14.
Nice video. Anne is hard working and has always been devoted to the queen. She is a bright, straight talking woman who has earned respect.
Just like her mother. I wish she could be Queen.
Princess Anne, the most hard working member of the royal family by far.
She quietly without fuss takes on more royal duties in a year than anyone else. She is also an Olympic Equestrian !
The Queen always spends 2 months every summer at beautiful Balmoral.
If she had been asked, I feel sure it is where she would like to have been at
this time.
Sadly, only TWO of her children, Charles and Anne were by her bedside. The
others did not make it in time. Anne is generally regarded as being most like her father, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, an absolutely straightford "no nonsense
common sense woman! Many of us think she would have been a brilliant Queen.
Anne should have been queen.
Ditto, the best characteristics of both her parents. A friend met her during his Navy days, she went to the pub with them after the official engagement. A very approachable woman.
Yes I agree Ann would make a better queen the Charles as king. But the queen followed tradition and protocol very strictly. So as respect to her King Charles III will have my full support.
@@hilarygibson3150 Has anyone asked The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, whether she would have took on the role of a Queen? She's not a politician.
Princess Anne looked on being a Royal as a duty but not one she welcomed or would have chosen for her children.
Love your reaction mate very respectful. We miss her loads.
The work and charities Princess Ann has done over many decades is always done under the radar.
Princess Anne is certainly her father's daughter. She's very much like Prince Philip and the hardest working of the royals. A few could follow her example.
You’ll probably find she was bed ridden, in pain and everyone in Balmoral / Family knew she was not in good place. But the queen being the queen put duty first, had lots painkillers etc and got on with her duty knowing she had not god long
There's no question about the relationship between Anne and her late mother. They adored each other.
To bad she can't take her place.
@@christineperez7562 yeah. most unfortunate. But I'm sure she'll be a great help to her brother and he can definitely count on her.
@@mrs.philibet I have a feeling Anne and Camilla are going to be the two people Charles will confide in the most right now. Anne was really worried for her brother by the end of the Windsor service, Charles looked to be running on fumes and grief.
I wonder if she knew that it was her last days and was prepared for her passing at Balmoral ..... and then, like you mentioned, she would be able to say "farewell" to the people of Scotland as well as of those of England. Instead of just lying in state in London.
The road trip was extremely dramatic and heart tugging especially when the motorway into the centre of London came to a standstill and drivers alighted their vehicles to pay their respects..... a once in a life time experience.
The Police motorcycle escort bowing their heads outside the palace gates, as the hearse passed through the gates, finished me off❤.
Thanks Tyler for being interested and showing respect.
There were NO "dramas" in the Queen's relationship with Anne, the Princess Royal. Mutual respect, love and gratitude the whole way. Anne has been one of the hardest working royals in the family, and the Queen greatly appreciated that. They were very close. I don't know why this reporter had to imply there may have been.
There was never any serious questions about Anne and The Queen's relationship. They were mother and daughter like any other however Anne is very much her father's daughter and has a lot of her dad's mannerisms and demeaners. The Queen is known to be patient, tolerant and kind to everyone whereas Anne, despite being kind and tolerant herself, doesn't have much patience, particularly with the press, much like her father. She doesn't take crap from anybody and there was even once an attempt to kidnap her and as the kidnapper said "You're coming with me" and tried to drag her out the car, Anne said "NOT BLOODY LIKELY!" and kicked him back and slammed/locked the door.
A friend of mine has been personal photographer to Anne a few times and says she's very down to Earth but has a very sharp wit and if she doesn't like something, she'll tell you, again, much like her father. There's even a clip of Princess Anne trying to teach The Queen how to use Zoom and you can sense how "to the point" she is when she says "Right Mother, you should be able to see 5 faces, is that right?" and The Queen says "Well I can see 4..." and Princess Anne just goes "That's fine, you know what I look like..." xD
They loved each other dearly but just different personalities.
It often baffles me how American news reporters who, reporting about global events (as all news medias should) still cannot pronounce places correctly. You'd think they'd actually make an effort! Edinboro... !? goodness me! *face palms for the billionth time*
Yes,such a difficult place name to say isn't 🙄🙄
That's a good point though and something I've thought of a lot this last week - We found out The Queen had died about 2 hours after she did. Those two hours are literally the only time that Charles has had to grieve and mourn his mum. His sister and his two brothers have had more time because they're not as in focus as Charles is but it must have been "Right, your mum has passed, you have two hours and to gather your emotions then you have to address entire world, keep it together and then you're going on a tour of the UK"
I'm sure it's hard for them all but I really do feel for Charles right now and people have the cheek to slate him just because he said "This bloody pen isn't working". You try losing your beloved mother, having 2 hours to get over it and keep yourself together 24/7!
Matt Hill I couldn’t agree with you more. All those comments about his reaction to a leaky pen, not thinking about what the poor man was going through. And having to go on a tour of the UK immediately after, when he was in the throes of extreme grief. I think he can be forgiven for a little frustration.
Glad to say he has had a day off today, l would be a wreck. 😢👑🇬🇧
I heard today that Princess Anne attended 387 royal engagements last year. That is why she has the reputation as the hardest working royal. I wish she had an opportunity to be in line for the throne, but I'm glad she was allowed to take part in the Princes' vigils.
Yes she is just like her mother. It is a shame she can't take her place. On the other hand she can work hard and have privacy. All the attention can go to William, Harry, Katherine, Meghan, and Diana.
Anne was adored and admired by her mother. they had great mutual respect for each other. I am 51, and recall no drama with them. Nor Edward, actually..
They both had their scandals but truly nothing as difficult as Andrew’s or Charles’s.
Thank you for all your thoughtful and respectful video reactions following the death of the Queen. The genuine interest, warmth and insightfulness you show is heartwarming and much appreciated. I've always loved America; the places across the USA I have visited and the American people I have met. I've also always felt that there is a special bond between our two nations 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 . And, if I may say Tyler, you are an excellent ambassador for your great country; engaging, well and clearly spoken, obviously smart, a lovely American accent that is soft and very easy on the ear and a handsome guy too. I really enjoy all your vlogs and wish you every success with your channel.
I second all that (and, yes, he is very good-looking....and I am someone who would never normally comment on that...! 😅)
Ditto that. I have been watching your reactions and enjoy them. You are asking the same questions many of us Americans have, while showing great interest and respect. Job well done!
I appreciate the very kind words Gary
I've just discovered you recently...and appreciate the time you're giving to this x
Thanks Joanne, I appreciate it
The Queen's Doctors famously never commented on her health- so an announcement that they were 'concerned' meant it was pretty bad! The Princess Royal (her daughter Anne) was already by her side, Charles arrived in time, but the others never made it, sadly.
The Queen always summered at Balmoral- she would normally have returned to London by now, but unusually the Outgoing and Incoming Prime Ministers travelled to where she was for the official handover. This would usually have been at Buckingham Palace. Clearly it was known over the summer that the Queen was getting frailer. It seems incredible that she was able to meet them as planned two days before her death.
I don't know if anyone will ever know what it cost the Queen to appear during the Platinum Jubilee and I think that on her last official duty , she must have done it on sheer willpower, her final duty had to be done to ensure that the new prime minister would have full credibility in the smooth transition of power , she really was somehow elevated in a special way and it was by the people .
When we say she 'summers' at Balmoral, it was actually Aug into the beginning of Oct so she would have been due to still be at Balmoral
@@BackToNature123 Although the decision to have the Prime Ministers travel to Balmoral was taken so that the Queen's intermittent mobility issues didn't mess things up at the last minute, so originally it was expected she would travel to London for that even if she then returned to Scotland.
he literally does not read any of his youtube comments, you're speaking to a wall unfortunately
@@michael_177 you are sounding rather bitter. I do think it would be nice if he did, though. I really appreciate his videos.
Princess Anne - who was eventually created Princess Royal - is a most interesting character. I think I would be a bit scared to meet her; she has the reputation of being direct and straightforward, and very hard-working and capable. (Although she is the only member of the Royal Family to be convicted of a criminal offence; her Bull Terriers got out of hand and bit a child!)
And she genuinely was an absolutely top equestrian, competing in the Moscow Olympics. Her daughter Zara continued that, winning major Olympic and European titles. Zara has married Mike Tindall, a rugby player and former Captain of England - don't argue with him either! Zara and Mike are very much members of the Royal Family.
Anne took part in the Montreal Olympics in 1976. Moscow was the boycott Olympics of 1980.
@@pacscanadadatabaseservices3711 Sorry, my mistake. Princess Anne won the European Eventing Championship in England in 1971. I knew she'd been to the USSR, but that was to a European Championship in Kiev (now Kyiv, Ukraine), in 1973, where she fell off her horse!
14:20 As mentioned in the video, Balmoral Castle is not part of the Crown Estates (property held by the monarchy as an institution but effectively owned by the country) but rather owned privately by the Queen (and now the King as her heir). The estate was bought by Prince Albert (husband of Queen Victoria). The house standing there was thought to be too small so the 'new' castle was built in the mid-1th century. After her husband's death, Victoria spent a lot of time at Balmoral, perhaps because of its isolation and privacy it afforded or perhaps because of the building's close links with her late husband who had been very much involved in its design. Balmoral has remained a favourite summer retreat for the Royal Family ever since.
It was not unusual for the Queen to be at Balmoral at this time of year. She had spent her summers there since childhood
A lot of her family WAS rushing to her side but only Charles and Anne made it there in time, since they were both nearby; the others had to fly in from London and missed her death by less than an hour.
Queen Elizabeth really was our connection to the past - I love your insight! It saddens me when some young people simply dismiss her and all that she represented.
Every summer the queen would go to Balmoral for a summer vacation. She was a truly inspirational person she was so dignified she was someone who listened to the people she met whether it was her weekly audience with the prime minister or someone she met on a walkabout she will be greatly missed
I really enjoy your reactions to UK culture. I find it very interesting..
It's hard to believe that, while watching you react to this video, I still get tears in my eyes and feel, all over again, the loss of the Queen dying.
Some people seem surprised that a very old woman could go from being well to death in such a short period of time, but it is not unusual. We do not know what health problems she had, but a person of that age does not have great reserves of resilience. A similar thing happened to my own mother.
She was suffering from bone cancer
My grandmother is still with us. She remembers King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI, most of her life under Elizabeth II, and now Charles III. Five Monarchs. She's an exception. My dad was born after the Queen ascended the throne. My mother too. Most of us only knew the Queen as our head of state.
And my mother. She was born on Silver Jubilee Day for George V and is still with us.
Oh wow! George V?! How old is your nan? that is an incredible feat! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When was she born 1910 to remember King George V. He was King from 1910- 1936
@@mrs.philibet just a year younger than Elizabeth II
@@christineperez7562 No. She was born 1927, she remembers him being king, but wasn't there for the start of his reign.
Princess ann and the Queen were very close. Princess Ann is the hardest working royal and she was once in the Montreal Olympics in the cross country and show jumping.
She loved Balmoral. She was there on her summer visit, but I think she would be happy passing there. She loved the place.
Thanks. I love your respectful reaction. You’re a star, mate.
There's a funny story on the internet - The Queen was either at Balmoral or on her Sandringham Estate, she was having a picnic in the grounds with her Gamekeeper I think it was when two American tourists walked by and asked if they'd ever met the Queen and what was she like. She said to them "you'd better ask him, he works for her!". The Gamekeeper was being interviewed for a programme about the Queen and he told the story. He didn't say what answer he gave the tourists. 😅
It was Balmoral
As far as I am aware, the late Queen had a form of bone cancer. She was at Balmoral but chose to stay longer than usual. The Queen and her late husband loved Balmoral and the Royal Family spent every summer there. I am glad the Queen passed in a place she loved. I think she stayed because she knew.
No Princess Anne known as Princess Royal, could never have been Queen. At the time of Anne's birth any male children came first, so although she is the 2nd eldest of the Queens children, in the line of succession she placed after her brothers. However the Queen changed the rule of succession following Princess Charlotte (William & Catherine's) second child, is now included in the line of succession after her Brother George.
Tyler cannot believe you have only heard of the traitor Harry and not his brother William. William is now the Prince of Wales and will, on the death of The King, be our next King. I believe traitor Harry is about 7th in line to the throne (at the moment)!!!!
UKshould change the law to prevent non-working royals like harry from being in the line of succession.
Imagine if for some reason William and his children die at the same time, Harry will become King!
I work in elderly care and the Queen always seemed so... sturdy... at first I didn't believe it and had to fact check the news.
My mother was born 5 years after the Queens Coronation. That shows how long she ruled. 70 years unheard of in British and English history. Longest serving sovereign we ever had.
The queen loved balmoral in Scotland. She always spent her summers there. I like to think she knew that it was her time and balmoral was the place she wanted to pass. And that she was so dedicated that she knew her passing in Scotland would make it easier for the people of Scotland to see her before she left for good. If she had died in London her beloved Scotland would not of had the chance to say goodbye. She is still working even after death. She has organised her burial herself and on Monday 19th of September 2022, on Elizabeth day, you will see her last appearance with a FULL military honour guard. The likes the world has never seen before and for most will never see again 😞. Let’s hope King Charles can provide the people with the same piece of mind and protection that his mother gave a nation. She watched our government on our behalf from afar and always let them know that she was the boss. If it wasn’t good for the people she would not sign off on it. In fact. You did not want to be the one asking her consent on something she didn’t like. That in itself would not hold you in good favour. God save the king as long as he’s a good one
when the news broke I jumped out of my seat and just stood mouth open speechless for ages
Look into Princess Ann's story. She's known as the hardest working royal. They say she was there due to having a speaking engagement near by. Very interesting person and I have learned quite a bit about Prince Edward watching the footage.
Hi Tyler I’m watching your video from Australia 🇦🇺 I’m English born & bred I was 4 years old when Queen Elizabeth was crowned ,this happened just a few years after World War Two! though food was rationed and not a lot of money ,everyone got together to have street party 🎉 & Celebrated the our new Queen! today these parties still go on 🇬🇧
I went to UK for my brother’s funeral, people who new him ,lined the streets to pay their respects !
Balmoral isn’t just her summer vacation residence. She actually owned it along with Sandringham palace. So every summer she stayed at balmoral, every year she celebrated Xmas and new year at sandringham. Windsor castle was her official residence as monarch for general living and Buckingham palace is the official residence of the monarch when conducting business in London or for events ect ect. Of course there’s other castles that are crown owned like Kensington and frogmore. But the queen herself and now the King actually own Balmoral and sandringham within their family line.
When Edward VIII abdicated, he continued to own Sandringham and Balmoral because he had been left them in his father's will.
The Queen and her family have only been able to stay at Balmoral all these years because her father, George VI, bought the the two properties from his brother!
Also, it's pretty obvious that the Queen had been under constant medical supervision with blood transfusions towards the end of her life with the last transfusion enabling her to meet with the new Prime Minister as her last event.
She was the nation's grandmother, we loved her just as if she were. You have to remember, during WW2 our royal family stayed, during the blitz when London was bombed they stayed, they walked among the bombed streets and their home was also bombed like ours. They hid in the dungeons underground. Our Queen was part of the war effort when you g, she learnt how to be a mechanic, she knew how to strip a d rebuild a jeep engine, when she was young she used to fix her own jeep if it broke down in the countryside rather than call for help. She drove at such break neck speed that she had the king of Saudi Arabia begging her to slow down. When she was on horseback on parade someone tried to assassinate her, she just laughed and carried on. She was a lioness and can't be replaced
Yeah like some others have said we didn't really hear much but when they said they had her family going to see her we were worried but she seemed so eternal, she's always been there, it was a shock. I was at work when my daughter messaged to say she'd died. I was in the middle of the office with tears streaming down my face. I didn't even realise how much I cared till I heard she was gone 😭
She was on her annual holiday to Balmoral where she spends August/September all her life.
Some "normal" people are just into horses, you don't have to be rich. There's a presenter on the Radio here in the UK, called Sara Cox. Her father was a farmer but was never the farm owner. So they had the available land but not necessarily all that much money. Nevertheless, she has always been into riding and taking part in gymkhana competitions.
As the first daughter of the monarch- she is the princess Royal. A title passed down from her grand aunt and great grand aunt. It should pass down to Charlotte on the ascension of her father William AFTER the death of Anne. Notably the Queens sister- princess Margaret missed out on the title- because her aunt, Princess Mary held the title, and when she passed, Queen Elizabeth was now in power, and Anne as the sovereigns daughter now had precedence of the title “princess royal” over Margaret.
It used to be a crime, that could carry a death sentence, called Imagining the Death of the King. There was a huge problem when Elizabeth the First who had not had any children was dying and would not name her successor.
Hey Tyler, love watching your content, seen pretty much 95% of it I'm British and like your keen attitude Learning about our Monarch and our nation 😊👍 I too also feel odd about the Queens passing, something doesn't add up, how active she was days leading up to her death,,, I feel she had a underlying health issue personally, it will be interesting to see what comes out later in the news after her funeral.
Anyway, keep up the great content, love your stuff 😊🤙
She had bone cancer.
It’s weird when the news first broke that she was unwell and under supervision, I messaged my best friend saying I think the queen is dead, she is unwell and all the family rushing back.. reminds me of when my dad died and me rushing back.. so then just watched waiting for the news to actually come and the more they said the more I just knew what was coming but the moment Huw said it on BBC news and they shown the flag at half mast.. I had to turn off the news and just broke into tears.. music on can’t deal with these emotions.. was so hard to process part of it still doesn’t feel real..
I believe the death was only announced when the one's that matter had got to Balmoral. She was probably gone a few hrs before it was announced. I'm just about to leave home to go to Westminster 👑
You said you didn't know about Princess Anne, well the comments will tell you she's a good egg. She's an extraordinary woman, she once was nearly kidnapped at gunpoint. Below is a link of her and her husband talking about it. Point blank refused to get out the car at gunpoint after already shooting a police officer, what a woman!!!
ua-cam.com/video/CXoyjpeEH_o/v-deo.html
Yes, Balmoral in Scotland was one of her fave places. It was her husbands fave place & they went there every summer for a few months, it was a tradition. That's why she was there when she passed away. I think it was something like June to October they spent there.
Enjoyed the vid. Regardless of what the uneducated have been saying about her on social media, she has done so much for not just us in the UK and the Commonwealth, but around the world too, so it's good to know she passed where she wanted to go and that it was peaceful.
I'll be down in London over Sunday and Monday for paying respects and funeral, it's the least one could do!
Exactly!! People don’t look up history. I know some people that live close to London, I got a text from. Them! Shocked. So I immediately turned on the TV to find out they were not talking anything about it in the US! The US honestly didn’t announcement it till hours later! So sad. She was such a wonderful person and had accomplished so much in her lifetime! Bless you Mama! Rip
@@ashleykane4951 Thankyou 🌷
She was there because that was her favourite place to be she spent allot of summers there growing up , she knew her time was coming and I believe she wanted to be where she held all her best memories with her family , also knowing this way the people of Scotland will get a chance to also pay there respects then finally make her way home where everybody can pay there respects , may she rest in peace 🕊🇬🇧
I think it must have been something catastrophic to the Queen's health which caused her to die so suddenly, like a fall or heart attack. We all thought she'd get to 100 like her mother 😞
God rest her soul....she will be the most greatly missed person for hundreds of years
I heard the Speaker of the House of Commons' announcement about her health, and I knew what it meant. The media understood the significance of the statement and so BBC1 was soon on rolling news. The BBC's chief newsreader came on duty with black tie an hour later. It was five more hours until the official announcement came through, but she had died more than three hours before that.
The Queen said in her first ever speech as Queen on her 21st Birthday she will serve the UK to her last Breath
She was 25 when she ascended to the grown, not 21.
Princess Anne was staying nearby and Charles was also in Scotland so both were able to be with their mother and spend her last hours with her. Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie flew to Aberdeen and then drove to Balmoral but arrived about 1/2 an hour too late. The Queen had already passed away.
Thank you Tyler for your sesitive video. The arrangements for this eventuality have been in place quite literally for decades and the Queen herself was involved in the planning as well as every one involved from police, Army, Navy, Royal Air Force, transportation, route plannjng indeed EVERY items, thousands of people. The corresponding plans are all in place for King Charles III in that they will duplicate everything. I can remember sitting in the classroom when the headmaster opened the door and annkunced that King George vI had just died. I cant recsll it very clearly and I was 11. My first thoughts, being a philatalist was "there will be new stamps" . Every boy in those days collected stamps and the King's head was on most of the stamps throughout the whole world. Thanks again, Tyler.
If you're interested in the details of what the Queen did in her role, see if you can get hold of a documentary made called "Elizabeth R". It's almost 2 hours long and packed with details, with the Queen herself commenting all the way through with a narrator additionally. It was made way back in 1992 but that really doesn't seem to matter when you're watching it. It was on TV on the BBC in the UK last night (Sept 16th 2022) and I was rapt. So many members of the Royal Family no longer alive were in it, Princess Diana, Princess Margaret (the Queen's sister), The Queen Mother (also called Queen Elizabeth) and obviously also all those still living.
I watched that it was really good looking back at her at the same age as I am now it brought back lots of memories of the people who did state visits
You should do a react to the first episode of the crown or to a documentary on the queen. Her life is so very interesting, I’m certain you’d enjoy watching it
Even though I knew it was inevitable that the Queen would pass it was still a shock. She was such an inspiration and wonderful woman.
Balmoral was from her Mother’s side of the family. Her mother was Scottish.
The Queen always spends the whole of summer up to October each year at her private home at Balmoral in Scotland . The property was bought by Prince Albert , Queen Victorias husband . The Queen had her private time with her family and friends and dignitaries during that lengthy summer break each year . The Queens Mother was Scottish nobility. Many castles in Scotland are owned by private individuals . On the Queens Balmoral estate , she drove across wild highland lands , rode her horses and had hunting parties , all the usual country pursuits in the Scottish highlands .
Balmoral Castle is owned by the Family themselves. It's not a "Crown Residence" which is held in trust by the Government for use by the reigning monarch - Buckingham Palace is a Crown Residence, not owned by the PERSON of the King or Queen, but held in trust FOR "The Crown" by the Government.
The Queen loved Balmoral and loved Scotland. She would go there on her summer breaks from London almost each and every year. I have a feeling she knew her time was close and simply wanted to pass in the place she loved most. She got to leave this world in her home, surrounded by her children and family.
Couldn't wish for a better end for any of us, really.
I really like your videos mate.
Spot on again Tyler.
Your a good guy, intelligent and goodlooking too!
Very insightful comments..🙏🙏🙏
Charles and Anne (and their spouses) were already in Scotland. Anne and her husband were at Balmoral and Charles and Camilla were at Dumfries House in southern Scotland. I believe Edward (with Sophie), Andrew, and William got there before she died. They were all in Windsor and share a plane up. Harry got there just after the Queen died.
There were never doubts about the relationship between the Queen and the Princess Royal. Speculative news anchors might have created this out of Princess Anne's divorce in 1992 but over here in Britain their relationship was never questioned.
I grieved for the queen like I grieved for MY mother she was the nations mother and grandmother she will be sorely missed
When we heard the docs were concerned we knew she had gone, the very air in Britain changed, and sadness fell onto our country. I'm not a Royalist but have admired our Queen for her loyalty to the people. I'm 53, so in my lifetime (hopefully) I will see 3 Monarchs, her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, King Charles lll, now 73, and William the Prince of Wales. Our next 3 Monarchs will be Kings and depending if Prince George (Williams son) has a son or daughter determines if the Monarch after him is a King or Queen.
Princess Ann is the Princess Royal.
As i type, there is a queue of 5 miles of people waiting to pay their respects. They have closed the queue for 5 hours as they are running out of room. Tomorrow the royal family will stand guard at the coffin at 7.15 pm. The grandchildren will do sunday night.
Hi Tyler. I think your outlook is refreshing.
History Hit channel is a great place to learn about the Royal Family. I would go back to at least King George V and go forward. Queen Victoria is a whole new era to look at. You will love it
I was on the way to a football game when we found out she had passed. We'd kept up with it throughout the day, noticing how the bbc and sky were wearing black and the sombre way things were suggested it was just a matter of time. Ended up being the glummest football game I'd been to.
Charles is Queen Elizabeth's first born. In any case, under the old rules, it was the oldest son who would inherit the throne. A daughter would ascend to the throne only if there were no male heirs. Therefore, even had princess Anne been born first, she would have become queen only if all of her brothers had either passed away before her or abdicated. Just a few years ago Queen Elizabeth changed the rules so that in the future it will be the first born (regardless of gender) who will inherit the throne and, should they abdicate or pass away before their younger siblings, then birth order alone will determine who becomes king or queen next.
Anne was already at Balmoral, and Charles was nearby, which is why they were there. William, Andrew, Edward and Harry all rushed up from London, but none of them made it in time.
You rarely hear anything about Princess Anne..yet she is the hardest working out all of them she doesn't look for praise she just gets in with it..she not glamour or a raving beauty but she is dedicated and has many charities.
There are some clips on UA-cam about Balmoral(where she died).Beautiful place x
I went to say farewell as she passed on her way to Edinburgh from Balmoral. She loved Scotland she spent every summer at balmoral Castle until October.
You are a terrific commentator, you tell it like it is and you have much respect for the obvious goodness and decency of this great woman, Queen Elizabeth shines out like a beacon, not for doing great things, although she did many great things but for her constancy, her just being there, quietly working away, she treated the ordinary people like any great dignitary, with interest and attention , never wavering in her enthusiasm to the very end, billions are crying and lamenting for a wonderful person who fought the good fight and she persevered to the end, RIP Queen Elizabeth and God save the King .
There was some concern after people noticed bruising on her hands in the picture of her with Liz Truss, this is called mottling and typically happens in the final week of someone's life. It's caused by the heart not being able to pump blood effectively.
Balmoral Castle was bought privately by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (her husband) as a private holiday home in the mid 19th century, and she always spent the summer months from mid July to end of September at Balmoral.
It's comforting to know that the Queen died in her most favourite place in the world. She knew she was dying that's why she went and that's why she invited Harry and his handler to Balmoral, but they rudely declined. Anne and Charles were staying just down the road as they knew as we all knew the end was near. She had lost so much weight between the Jubilee and swearing in the new Prime Minister, she was a shell of herself, but still held the reigns. Balmoral was bought by Prince Albert as a wedding present for Queen Victoria and it's been a royal favourite ever since. Still doesn't feel real.
This is an interesting lighthearted video on UA-cam Grunge. The video is titled,
Famous People who The Queen couldn’t Stand.
2:31 - Balmoral Castle in Scotland was always her favourite residence and she spent most summers there. Not unusual her being there but if she knew she was dying, she might well have decided Balmoral was the place to do it.
Princess Ann was in the Olympic when she was young.
Someone also tried to kidnap Princess Ann but she refused to let it happen…
Thee queen was working on the Tuesday meeting the new Prime minister. She worked up to her last day.
I think you experienced it the same as us. It was a huge deal the Her Majesty’s medical team said anything, followed by the family being flown in and then all the news anchors wearing black
