![Duke of Windsor (Edward VIII) Interview in German | 1966 [eng. subtitles]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/aOs6bNqrtJE/mqdefault.jpg)
Love the captions on this “for eight months he reigned as King Edward the Egg”
lol
I don't think it's funny....the 8th....he deserves alittle more respect.
@@bonnehausman2253 no he doesnt
Bonne Hausman no he does not. One of his brother died during active service while the other died from the stress of being the new king. He was never with his country during the war while his 4 younger siblings fought tirelessly for their country.
@@wennw2711 yes so true he actually got pirince george duke of kent who died during the war into drugs, and he also had no sympathy for prince john who had autism, he was a horrible person
I have to say it seems a nice gesture from Prince Philip, the only one to greet and smile at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Tbf the queen mother had resentment towards Edward since she blamed him for the early death of her husband and Wallis because she used to called the queen mother cruel names, same with queen Elizabeth ii she said she still had love for her uncle since he was her uncle but she had resentment towards him for giving up the throne and throwing her father into the spotlight even though he wasn’t trained or ready to be a king
@@oceanfive8201 I have heard that argument but it holds no water. Are we really expected to believe the following scenario? Oh no, my husband has to be King and we will be forced to live in all these large mansions and palaces. We will have to endure people bowing before us and waiting on us the rest of our life. Oh the tragedy that we will have to go around wearing the best and most expensive clothes and jewelry. If The Queen Mother and her husband didn't want the job then he could have abdicated too. But they chose to stay and live the life of luxury while the Queen mother pretends to be oppressed by it all is absurd. She was nothing more than a stuck up witch looking down her nose at Wallis.
@@ednakelley814 Wallis was a n*zi sympathiser so I’d be careful defending her, and yeh I do believe George vii didn’t want to be king since the man had a stutter and wasnt a confident man at all not as a king should be, and the queen mother married her husband knowing he wasn’t the heir so safe bet is she thought she was going to be in the royal family but not the main man. But eh believe what u believe.
@@oceanfive8201 David was a Nazi sympathiser too. Again, if the studdering Bertie didn't want the job he would have stepped down too to make his wife happy. That is the point.
@oceanfive8201 Sympathizer? She was sleeping with Van Rippentorp, the Nazi ambassador to the UK, before the war while her soon-to-be husband was still King. The Jing gave Wallis state secrets and she gave them to Van Rippentorp. Trash. Just trash with crowns.
In background 1:29 Princess Alice 1883-1981, Queen Victoria's last surviving grandchild.
It's amazing seeing the Queen and the Queen Mum together. This was 15 years after the Queen took the throne, and the Queen Mum would live another 35 after this herself.
With her uncle Edward VIII
It is a wonder that the Queen Mum didn't coldcock Wallis! Just joking! 😁
(She blamed Wallis for the death of George vi)
The differences melted away! Right.
0:14 love the subtle but noticeable tone change
It's amazin resemblance between actor from the Crown and real ex King.
Tommy Lascelles at 1:25 ? Absolute GOAT in The Crown.
Wow it is so crazy that mary of teck almost reached elizabeth’s coronation. Because mary of teck was friends with the 1 and only QUEEN VICTORIA and mary of teck’s favorite grand daughter is elizabeth. And to think elizabeth is alive rn is so unbelievable. R.I.P Queen Mary Of Teck
:(
Yeah 'almost' I think they done away with her so she didn't capture the headlines at the Queen's coronation
God rest the soul of Elizabeth the Great, 1926-2022.
Queen Elizabeth's coronation was in 1952. Mary of Teck passed away in 1953.
Mary of Teck knew both Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II and I think she held King Charles in her arms as a baby. Her life was a crossroad of History.
Lovely video. Thank you.
Wow, Mary outlived three of her sons. That must’ve been very painful.
And her husband
@@heneralantonioluna8725 Outliving your children is probably a much worse feeling
I feel bad for Johnny. Poor boy never had a chance. Bertie, who seemed to be decent man, was a slave to smoking. At least George V lived to a ripe old age.
@@georgealexander141 The royal family had a thing for favoring children.
3 of her 6 children actually. Prince John died in 1919. The Duke of Kent in 1942, and 10 years later King George VI
Kinda weird how Charles kinda looks like Edward more and more as he gets older
Repent of your sins and follow Jesus Christ Almighty
@@Hi-xu9xn people like you makes me want to become an atheist
Well they were great uncle/great nephew. Prince Charles's grandfather was this man's oldest brother who he dropped in the plopped!
@@anormalname6498 same bruh
Yes, well there's a good chance of that being that they're closely related, however, Edward VIII was the better looking.
The look on King Edward's face and seeing how Queen Mother avoided him and the family distanced themselves from him. I think next to him is Prince Henry, his other brother.
Wow!! Thank you for sharing this
0:50 Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, what a man. May he rest in peace. 🌹
One of my great grandmothers brought me here: Antimina Micco. She died shortly after turning 85 in 2005 and would’ve been 100 in 2020.
Mrs. Simpson and the queen mother work hard to avoid looking at each other.
Yes Jeanne, I think they both had a personal challenge to see if they could outlive the other !.When Mrs Simpson was alone and bedridden , no compassion appeared to be ever shown towards her.
@@Roger.Coleman1949 good, like she didn't show any to her husband when he was dying. but tbf the duke and duchess of windsor were both quite treasonous and stupid during WW2
I read once that later in life the Queen Mother would send Wallis flowers whenever she visited Paris. At the Dukes funeral Elizabeth was seen comforting the duchess
@@sodapop83 King Edward Sydenham Road what the public holiday should a married when he was keen and then they would have eventually accepted it and then when he passed might have gone to the Queen anyway if they didn't have any children they should have shown what they were made of
@@Prieze868 other than he didn't have any children you don't make much sense... well, children.. there are many factors from this couple why they never had any... but tbf THANK GOD they never got to have any children...
00:15 love how the narrator just calls him out
the casting in the crown it's the most accurate omgg for both of them and Anne
Too bad the story they made up in not accurate at all!
Edward bowed his head as The Queen walked past him.
He was a good man.
@@fshoaps do you know anything about him or are you from hell?
@@official_9101 I’m a huge history buff, he was a good, man. The Nazi stuff was developed by the royal family to silence him. He was a modern king.
@@fshoaps so just dont talk about him having a hugo ego marrying a divorced person and being a nazi sympathizer
That’s the proper protocol
The clarity and color of that video is unreal!
"Here with the Duchess for whom he gave up the throne"
A taunt ?
Woooow so amazing story video thank you so much for the video sir
Voilà une délicatesse fort appréciée .MERCI 🙋♂️
00:43 Tommy Lascelles. Loved his character in The Crown, a loyal servant to the royal family.
And actually fairly closely related to the Royal Family by marriage - he was the first cousin of Henry Lascelles, the Earl of Harewood, who was married to Edward VIII/George VI/Gloucester/Kent's sister, Princess Mary.
family reunite for their shared love for the matriach❤️ this ❤️ we need to keep
former King Edward VII is the closest thing we've got to what Elizabeth's father would look like if he did not die early.
Well they were brothers
@@domamania yes, I think he means Edward VIII!
The queen looked so much like her grandma
My grandma looked like the queen. Never seen them in the same room btw
Queen Elizabeth looked more like her aunt Mary in her later years
See how the queen mother completely blanked the Duke and duchess of windsor
Probably some old grudge
I love the RF but the Queen Mother was not nice, if Edward had not abdicated she would not have been in the wonderful position she was in. Should have been grateful to Wallis for taking him away.
@@gratialake8459 have you wonder maybe she didn't want to be in that position at all? Just like Queen Elizabeth, they weren't born to become Queens.
The Queen Mother blamed the Duke and Duchess for her husband's early death. Yes, George VI was a smoker, but supposedly it got much worse when he became king. He smoked to calm his nerves.
@@georgew2014 Exactly. Perhaps if he had time to prepare for the job he would have coped better, but a job of huge responsibility was thrust upon him.
great colour
Nice torso!
so nice
How many of you saw the Duke of Windsor bowing to The Queen Mother ?
Yeh I was surprised to see that actually
What's the song in the background?
A remarkable clip - abdicated king bowing to his sister in law and to his niece! Beautifully British ❤
Oh I just walked past that in London. Had no clue there was a massive unveiling. Lol
Que increíble ver a Isabel II con su tío el rey Eduardo VII y pensar que gracias a su abdicacion ella llegó al trono
I love the way the R is pronounced, this is such a lovley english!
It is interesting too see that the Duke of Gloucester looked older and more frail than the Duke of Windsor, while he was the younger one.
British Pathe can be counted on for a representative and positive facts accounting and accurate source. Real information. Not papparazi garbage. I hate that inuendo and gossip negative spin stuff. Steeped in zero information.
Glad for what is factual and true with the best positive light possible.
A rainha Elizabeth uma Lady, ao conversar com seu tio e a esposa dele. Uma mulher a frente de seu tempo. Oque posso de coração desejar a ela muita saúde. O mundo inteiro de ama. Meus respeitos a Rainha e minha total admiração
Quan Ton a mara pour vavour Senyor.
Queen Elizabeth;
"Thank you, Uncle!" 👑 😹
For the 👑, obviously 😂😂
The royal family was so different back then.
The queen mother must have hated having "that woman" (as she referred to her) there.
Tough that Cookie didn't like them. I bet they didn't lose sleep at night over it.
@@angeliquepiafbordeaux4107 well I can't imagine nazi sympathisers lose sleep over much
@Angelique… Wallis Simpson was your mother or something? Hahaha!
@@angeliquepiafbordeaux4107 well, Queen mother hated Duchess of Windsor so much that, she didn't let her husband gave HRH title to Duchess.
Edward and Wallis did loose their sleep because of that.
They were so desperate for HRH title, it was Edward's last wish but Queen mother didn't let Queen Elizabeth II grant her uncle his last wish.
What the scottish piss head? Horrible woman!
What was the matter with his eye. Popeye the sailor man 🤣🤣🤣
Great video. HM The Queen is so beautiful and elegant
I always like Princess Marina.
Yes - so does the Duke of Edinburgh.
Jonathan Begg. Princess Marina and the Duke of Edinburgh were first cousins, from the royal houses of greece and denmark
Oh wow 😳
His Mom was alive when he gave up the throne.
She must've been absolutely furious and disappointed ☹️😞
Still your child will always be your child ❤️
Even though it is is dramatized in The Crown, it is very likely that the conversation about "Monarchy is a duty given by God" between Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth did happen.
She was livid. Like her granddaughter she took duty seriously. She also LOATHED Mrs Simpson.
Her life has seen 2 eras and 2 world war
@@mikegalvin9801 Elizabeth is the one who let Charles have his way after skirting his duties. Edward wasn't half as bad as Elizabeth's own son.
@@anyaw340 Charles lll has always been dutiful and dedicated. He had a bad first marriage but that is hardly unusual for his generation. Edward Vlll was a great bounder as the English say and it was a very good thing his brother became the wartime king.
Princess marina so beautiful ❤😭
MEghan is making Wallis Simpson look like a paragon of virtue
Selfish Charles has already done that when he decided to forego his duties in favor his own sexual and emotional desires. What can you claim Megan did that was immoral - particularly when she was never going to be Queen Consort (like Wallis)? Speak?? Give me a break. She has every right to speak. She owes those people nothing. In America, we don't believe in one-sided loyalty.
Does anybody know the name of the music in the background?
See the Queen mum glide past the pair of 'em like a galleon in full sail. Head turned completely away, to greet the old dear beside them. Cut 'em down like saplings in the path of a diamond encrusted bulldozer.
There's a perhaps apocryphal story of how some fawning royal journalist had said to her once that it was extraordinary how Edward VIII had abdicated to marry a commoner and the Queen mum replied:
"Well there's certainly no one commoner than Wallis."
The wittiest comment I’ve read in ages. Are you a writer? Poet? Thank you for brightening my day. “…galleon in full sail…diamond encrusted bulldozer”. Brilliant imagery.
@@annamelanie5151 And thank you for brightening my day with your lovely compliment.
Cookie had to glide like a ship, she was always as large as one.
@@angeliquepiafbordeaux4107 That's right. The Queen Mum must have always felt a certain envy for Wallis's slimness and elegance. Elizabeth's longstanding hate for Wallis seems more personal than a family or political matter, deeply personal I dare to say. In those days, it was said in some aristocratic houses that Elizabeth rejected Bertie three times, because she hoped that the Prince of Wales (Edward) who knew her and found her friendly and funny, would finally propose to her. Who knows...?
@@mercedesscholl5551 I've heard that story since I was a kid.I believe it must be true because many people say that's what really happened. And Cookie always thought she was better than anybody else.
0:55 nice
I wonder what the Queen said to the Dutchess of Windsor that made her smile? I am aware that not everyone in the family totally disdained her at the level of the Queen Mother. Still it was hardly a warm reception usually.
The fact that the Queen mother blamed the Dutchess instead of the Duke tells me all I need to know about her.
@@ednakelley814 that she's a typical mother?
@@ednakelley814 I've never read anything positive about the Queen Mother's personality.
@@anyaw340
"Duty" was drilled into her by Queen Victoria.
George V and Mary had a working relationship and a deep sense of
respect for each other. Also they had six kids so......
With arranged marriages, it is said that you learn to love each other
as you share your life together. That is if both treat the other with
respect and civility.
That went well.
This was the first time the four Windsor sisters-in-law(the Queen Mother, the Duchess of Gloucester, the dowager Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Windsor) were present together for a public event.
And Princess Alice of Athlone (in blue) who died in 1981 aged 97. Princess Marina died a year later than this video. Alice of Gloucester lived until 102 and passed away in 2004. It's a great piece of footage
@@anthonyherstell8569 Absolutely!!
@@anthonyherstell8569 wait, the woman dressing in light blue next to Edward the Duke of Kent? Isn't that his wife, Katherine Worsley?
@@rachmarizky2690 Yes, that is the Duchess of Kent. Lol.
I missed u, ilove u and please take care, wishing u all the best a luck, good health.
Melted away? I don’t think so...
Funny thing that edward is even preccessor of The Queen's father
Only watched it to see Edward VIII.
Same
Wow, Edward VIII is extremely similar to his brother George VI, Elizabeth's father
In outward appearance perhaps.
Fast-forward 55 years. It’s like seeing Meghan & Harry at the Platinum Jubilee.
Not even close as everyone was focused on the Sussexes.
@@donna25871 Focused on the Sussex’s? Hardly…
@@donna25871 Maybe you were focused on them - I certainly wasn't. 🤷🏼♀️
You guys have a weird obsession with Harry and Meghan.
@@mindyschocolate I’m more obsessed about the British Monarchy. Meghan Markle will be a footnote in ten years time, just like Wallis Simpson.
Very funny thumbnail 😂
They acted like they hated the Duke of Windsor for abdicating but that’s far from the truth. They gladly accepted his abdication and have been living happy ever after since
They hated at the beginning
Because Jorge VI never wanted that life for him and for their family
Of course when the years passed they were all glad this happened that way
I didn’t want to be a royal family
Only wanted their money and power
No wonder, Edward was friends with Hitler!
Elizabeth would have become Queen regardless as Edward and Wallis would have produced no Heir. It would have happened 20 years later in 1972.
@@RONALDB62 Maybe, maybe not. If being king hadn't been thrust upon him, Prince Albert may have lived a lot longer; its fairly well known that the stress of being King during the war lead to his increased drinking and smoking which contributed to his illnesses and early death.
The bloody duke of Windsor.
Queen mum ignored Duchess Windsor on arrival.
Interesting only the lady in the second row curtseyed to the Queen and Queen Mum. Maybe the other ladies had encountered the Queen or Queen Mum earlier in the day. Wallis only showed this honour/respect when Elizabeth, Philip and Charles visited the Duke in 1972, a few weeks before his death,.
The small hat perched on the head of the Duchess of Windsor reminded me of the small crown worn by Queen Victoria.
Sadly nobody in the Royal family forgave him for abdicating
His mother ( Queen Mary )never forgave him, and the Queen Mother hated both him and Wallace.
Respect to him for putting the woman he loved first
Wallis never let them see her SWEAT .😎
I don't see how both of them even wanted to go to the unveiling of Queen Mary's memorial with the way she treated them. If it were me, I would have stayed home.
She was his mother and he was a dutiful son. You do know that they continued to write to each other until the end of Queen Mary's days? And besides, Edward's sister-in-law Elizabeth the Queen Mother treated them much worse. She blamed him and Wallis for her husband's early death.
@@mysticalmargaret6105 So she claimed but many say she had wanted to marry David/Edward but settled for Bertie/George. True? Who knows but Bertie proposed 3 times before she agreed to marry him
@@peachygal4153 she turned him down multiple times because she didn’t want to be apart of the royal family not because she was holding out for Edward😭
RIP Queen Elizabeth II
Notice how the news gave ya just the facts back then? No sensationalism or scandal, per se.
If I am not mistaken, the Queen Mother let the Duke kissed her on the cheek at this occasion, but I couldn't find any footage of it now
The Dutchess of Windsor didn't curtsey to Queen Mother, perhaps she already curtsey to her earlier on? Or was she being shady?
@Kenzie Jean ooop yaaaas!
@Kenzie Jean reverence should be shown to the oldest sibling and brother regardless if he abdicated he is still the current queens uncle who was older than her father.
@Scott S oh the royal shade. All while they smile at each other.
None of the immediate family bowed or curtsied to the Queen. They had probably all come from having lunch together.
For what they did to the Windsors, the last thing the Queen Mother needs is a curtsey.
I like Wallis's hair like that.
I feel sympathy for the Windsors, especially Wallis, no saints , by any means, but not the villains they have been made out to be. A campaign of vilification has been waged against them on every level, no blow too low, even up to the present day. I can’t help feeling the Harkles are the perfect revenge, what goes around comes around .
Have the Harkles actually done any damage though? If anything I feel like they've entrenched support for the royals by portraying pro-Harkles as 'woke traitors'.
I mean they only offered to help the Nazis conquer Britain, in return for the Throne, but sure the were vilified
@@Ater_Draco Utter Rubbish, with not a shred of proof, but I suppose it appeals to the gullible !
They were literal Nazi sympathizers and their is decent evidence that the Duke was colluding with Hitler to be reinstalled on the throne as a puppet monarch should Hitler win the war. That's the reason why they sent him to be governor of the Bahamas during the war, HM Secret Service could keep an eye on him and he couldn't do too much damage as the governor of a remote colony.
I feel bad for Wallis but not David, who gave the Nazis crucial information and endangered many. He was a traitor and if he hadn't been a royal he'd have been shot for treason.
She didn’t even look at Edward
She wasn't a real Queen. She was a queen consort (the wife of a real King). Historians say she was a cold hearted woman that didn't even really care about her children.
A Queen Consort is a real queen, hence why the word "Queen" is in the title. What you mean is that she is not a regnant queen, but she was a "real" queen. There are no fake queens. There are different types of queens. Queen Mary was a consort, not a monarch, but she was a queen.
she was absolutely a real queen, just like the queen mother was and Queen Camilla is now.
How king edward feeling to see queen elizabeth...
Regrets

Be glad Queen Mary wasn't your mother because she would have ostracize you
I was born in 1974 so I am not old enough to remember Edward VIII. I usually associate him with pre-World War II, and black and white images, so it is always strange for me to see images of him in colour.
Can you read?
@@chloehall4270 I think so, why do you ask?
@@Longi1974 If you can read history books, it’s not necessary to personally witness the past or be alive while historical events unfold.
@@chloehall4270 I think that you may have missed the point of my post. I'll try to explain. Edward, to me is synonymous with the era of the 1930's or wartime Britain, a period in which he appears in many black and white still images and footage, obviously. That is how I mentally associate him. When he is seen here in the 1960's, it feels much closer to current times (even though it was sixty years ago now) and so he seems 'out of place' to me. It's like seeing somebody from the distant past in more modern times. That's all.
Reply
He didn’t do anything tho
Love is greater than castles and chiefdoms. Thanks to His margesty, Edward VIII, for exitbiting that almost forgotten and crucial part of our compassionate human nature. Remain ever green in our minds for the sake of the divicult decisive stance you took. Thanks for showing us that there are no Kings or Queens but God and our hearts.
Well he lived an unhappy life till his death.
And in the end, Edward did much, much less than what the current King did.
@@anyaw340 please expatriate. I will love to hear what history says.
Yes I’m very grateful Edward gave up his throne, he would’ve been an awful king and England would’ve been in even more trouble since ww2 happened around the same time, king George really stepped up even though he wasn’t prepared and didn’t want to
Queen Elizabeth II was so gracious.
Does this plaque still exist today?
yes, it does
@Ron Cash wtf ? it's a plaque not a plague
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
She had two Cunard ships named after her
King Edward the eggs was an amazing king
Can anybody see Harry and Me-gain in the future here. 🤣🤣🤣
We already saw this recently. It is eerily similar down to the expressions on Wallis and Edward.
Prince Philip was friendly..
Edward a man who put himself first unlike our late queen
But our Queen was already married prior to acceding. She didn't have the same issue, but Margaret did years later.
Which queen, cause in the monarch history, there over 10 queens.
Wallace (?) looks like the queen of hearts in Alice in Wonderland.
He looks like a king
A 9 month king🤣
What a country
The way they ignored king edward
The queen's dad and uncle look identical.
Que lindos sombreros bien pedorros! para esa epoca y x los monarcas bastantes densos con esas caras de nada.y vaguetis
If had not abdicated he would of been King here
♡♡♡😍♡♡♡
1:28 Alice, Countess of Athlone (b.1883). Mad to think
she was 97 when she passed
Yep still the record holder. Duchess of Gloucester, Queen Mother & Prince Philip were all by marriage, not blood. Queens in 2nd place by 1 year
