The Queen's speech:
Since last Sunday's dreadful news we have seen, throughout Britain and around the world, an overwhelming expression of sadness at Diana's death.
We have all been trying in our different ways to cope. It is not easy to express a sense of loss, since the initial shock is often succeeded by a mixture of other feelings: disbelief, incomprehension, anger - and concern for those who remain.
We have all felt those emotions in these last few days. So what I say to you now, as your Queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart.
First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness.
I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.
This week at Balmoral, we have all been trying to help William and Harry come to terms with the devastating loss that they and the rest of us have suffered.
"No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her.
I for one believe that there are lessons to be drawn from her life and from the extraordinary and moving reaction to her death.
I share in your determination to cherish her memory.
This is also an opportunity for me, on behalf of my family, and especially Prince Charles and William and Harry, to thank all of you who have brought flowers, sent messages, and paid your respects in so many ways to a remarkable person.
These acts of kindness have been a huge source of help and comfort.
Our thoughts are also with Diana's family and the families of those who died with her. I know that they too have drawn strength from what has happened since last weekend, as they seek to heal their sorrow and then to face the future without a loved one. I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.
May those who died rest in peace and may we, each and every one of us, thank God for someone who made many, many people happy.
Queen Elizabeth II
Such grace and dignity. We are so fortunate as a nation to have had Queen Elizabeth II reign so gloriously for so long. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! And all of the royal family.
amen
your queen murdered Diana you stupid fuck
Tomahawk7670 who gives a shit
LONG LIVE QUEEN ELIZABETH!! THE GREATEST MONARCH THE NATION HAS EVER OR WILL EVER SEE!! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
She killed the princess. she's a fucking bitch. I respected her so much before we researched about what's been happening.
I think there is no other head of state in the world who does his or her work with so much wisdom, dignity and commitment as Queen Elizabeth II.
Wow! I see a lot of hate spewing! Both Diana and H.M. The Queen are good people. Just leave them alone and keep hate out of it.
I am sorry for your loss. Princess Diana's was such a blow to your nation and family. May God bless you, Madam
I come here only for the movie "The Queen"
+Hanzz GM Hahahaha me too.
same
+Nic Lehn And...? I must be British for see videos on UA-cam and comment? No I'm not, i am from Mexico, so what? Who cares? 😎I know, my english is not perfect, but who cares? 😷All this problem is just for one comment! Hahaha OMG 😂
People on here are so harsh towards the Queen. It's her son and his mistress whom he married who you should be hating. The Queen acted in her best judgement when she took Harry and William away from the palace and hid them away from the public, people would be harassing them none stop and they wouldn't of been able to breathe let alone grieve. When you grieve you like to keep what you're feeling to yourself and get on with things, not have people reminding you that you're grieving. I am saddened by Diana's death and find her treatment tragic, but I for one don't blame the Queen.
No, i don't believe a single word.
I agree with you....She was so jealous of Diana because all the people had grown attached to Diana and learned to love her because she was not that snobbish stand off crap head like they had grown used to....the uproar wanted her (the queen) to grovel a bit because they understood Diana's place and the understood how much they hated her....the trip to the hospital proved they wanted her dead....only a few minutes and they stop to make sure she did not survive.....It just proved what Diana said was the absolute truth.........
doc martin Thank you for the very detailed information. Nothing is what it seems in this "civilised" world.
***** quoting 'The Queen" (2006), and yeah, i completely agree with that quote.
***** What about the rest?
+Dodo M same here mate.
this is the first time ive heard her talk......
It's said she improved the last phrases of that speech originally written by her press secretary and the British government. Its true, regarding everything that must have happened behind the palace walls several parts sound very cool and yes, unreliable. Still the pure fact that she, the queen, stood their and showed her face is exceptional.
We lost a STAR........her strength her kindness her hurt...and she kept going for her kids friends and responsibilities.RIP our PRINCESS Diana
Speaking from a prepared statement with the warmth and compassion someone would give the family pet. Pitiful.
holy hell that's an insult to pets everywhere, past and present! every word she said sounded like she was sucking on vinegar.
GreenLifeSource The family pet would get more compassion than that
GreenLifeSource She is a very guarded woman who doesn't always show emotion. What she said about DIana was beautiful. She is first a grandmother and second the queen. I personally love her.
Kathryne Allen No, she is the queen before anything, she has always put duty before everything else
Kathryne Allen Because you are personally an idiot. I am sure the evil racist Nazi monarchy love dumb ignorant sheep like you!
More than Diana deserved, really.
Diana's brother or family also did not step forward to help Princess Diana.
Shame on them all.
How did you know that?
You people are ridiculous. Who gives a shit if she didn't mean what she said. In fact, to me that makes it more amazing that she did it. She had no desire to make this statement but did it 'cause her people needed it from her. That shows great dedication. I don't blame her at all for doing what she did and delaying so long. It's such a joke that people felt so entitled to some response from the royal family that they demanded the Queen leave Balmoral where she was looking after her grandchildren who had just lost their MOTHER, and come down to London. The people of Britain were not Diana's family regardless of all the people's princess stuff. The Queen looked to her own and I can't fault her for that. And flying the flag at half mast when even the Queen's own father (the freaking KING) didn't get that when he died?? Please.
Esta Rainha é uma hipócrita isto sim, chorou pela morte de um animal e não por diana, vai arder no fogo do inferno, maldita.
Nay Lacerda Diana and her never liked one another for good reasons. Diana wouldn't have wept over the Queen's death. How is the Queen a hypocrite?
Já vi que vc é daqueles q se acabam por esta tal Raianha, enfim, temos pena .
***** I get that but she still did it didn't she? If you ask me the whole of Britain turned into whiny, entitled babies when Diana died. I'm not surprised she was annoyed.
***** They were entitled 'cause they felt they were owed a public funeral (even though the Spencer family expressly wished for a private one), they *demanded* the flag be flown at half mast when it has never been used for that purpose and Diana was no longer a member of the Royal family, and they *demanded* the queen return to London from Balmoral because of their grief when she was looking after her grandsons who had just lost their mother. What about *their* grief? They had just lost their mother and the country demanded the Queen parade them around in front of cameras at Diana's memorial lest they abolish the monarchy. People were sleeping on the goddamn streets for goodness sake. Yes, it is a shame she died and of course people will feel upset but to go to these lengths and to show such disregard for her sons wellbeings is ludicrous.
In the movie The Queen, Tony Blair gives an excellent speech in the Queen's defense which I felt captured the moment perfectly. He said that this woman has given her entire life to her country and served it with distinction and then Diana comes along and starts airing the families dirty laundry in public (the Panorama interview was unbelievable. I can't believe she discussed such things with the public) and worked to destroy the establishment her bloodline has run for thousands of years. Of course she wasn't going to like Diana. Say what you want about the royal family but at least they don't mud-sling in public.
Am I saying what Charles did was right? Of course not, he's a cad and I can't believe he was allowed to marry that witch Camilla, but I believe the Queen acted appropriately in this instance and it was the public that was in the wrong. I'm also not taking away Diana's many great achievements and her humanitarian work but as you said, she wasn't perfect.
She looks so young there though she ain't bothered about the incubator to the next heir to the throne.
As usual, The Queen acted with dignity and grace. No, the Royal Family did not kill Diana. What killed Diana? She was in a car traveling at 110 mph (three times the speed limit) that was being operated by a drunk and that crashed into a wall. Why does Dodi's father seek to blame the Royal Family? Well, it is because he owned the hotel who hired the drunk who drove the car that crashed into the wall, causing the death of three people. Dodi's father is merely trying to cast blame to avoid his own vicarious liability for wrongful death. That Diana may have pregnant has nothing to do with this. She was divorced from Charles, and no children she might have had would have any effect on the royal succession.
We must also remember that Diana was a shameless hypocrite. She did everything she could to attract publicity and then, like the overly emotional, mentally disturbed female she was, complained about it, which, of course, got her even more publicity, satisfying her emotional cravings and perpetuating the endless cycle.
Charles is a pig, though.
+mindspring57 Have you even LOOKED at the facts surrounding her murder? Like the actual REPORTED facts about her death? How they purposes traveled an HOUR to get her to a hospital and even parked out side of it for an additional 20 minutes? Pumped her full of embalming fluid not even a few hours after her death. I cant people people defend what happened to this woman.
New World Paradox The French have a different method of handling roadside emergencies. In the United States, we "scoop and run," getting the patient to the hospital as quickly as possible, while the French attempt to treat the patient at the scene.
They didn't treat her!! They let her bleed out!!!
The Queen is one of the greatests monarch, she has always put duty before her own interests.
She was kind to Diana, she was the one in the royal family who most fought Charles for his affair with Cowmilla, she was the one who hated Cowmilla most after Diana, so please, stop saying that you don't believe what she says here.
God Save The Queen. As a serving member of Her Majesty's Royal Air Force, I stand proud and supporting of the finest icon our time will ever know. God Bless Her Majesty.
I want thank her majesty for her kind and god save the queen
You can tell she was reading the speach of a screen or something, it didnt sound like it came from the heart.
what heart?
I never thought that a lot of people hate The Queen. I have no idea why they hate her so much. But anyway, Princess Diana will always be remembered. She's such a beauty and a sweetheart.
Cause she killed Diana.
Because she's a miserable cow.
that is exactly why she hated Diana...........people wanted Diana to be loved by the family as much as they loved her...and seeing her with her children...She made quite an impact on the people mingling with the people and treating them like she knew they wanted to be treated.
As much as I believe in my heart that Diana's death was no accident, I really don't believe Queen Elizabeth would do anything like that. She did not support the affair between Camilla Trasher Toilet Bowls and Charles. I am sure she was sympathetic to Diana. To say she didnt like her....I really dont know.
Cowmilla is the undoing of the monarchy.
Chuckie and Bride of Chuckie!
Premeditated Killing not Unlawful Killing.
Right you are my dear. You have nailed it right on the head.
Wow! I can't believe today is 16 years for Princess Diana!! Sad.. :(.
† R.I.P. Princess Diana! †
For a Queen to bow her head, such an action is unheard of. Take to mind that despite her frosty outward "appearance", none of us knows what goes on in her heart. We have not been in her shoes, or seen life through her eyes. And as the Good Book says: Judge not, lest ye yourself be judged.
WELL SAID & HOW TRUE!
Love it!
Thers just always been something about that woman that gives me the chills. Even when i was a kid i found here odd and without any sparkle or emotion at all
I just watched "The Queen." The likeness of Helen Mirren was rather amazing. And they did everything spot on with the scene where she re-created the speech.
Stardust_13 I wonder if it will be recreated again in the crown 👑 on Netflix with Imelda Staunton ?
@@tomspence8506 idk 🤷🏻♀️ probably. It will be interesting to see.
@@Stardust_7273 it sure would, although I wonder if Imelda would be able to pull it if just as well as Mirren did. Both Mirren and Imelda are both great actresses and really do look like her majesty 👑 but it s hard to decide whether Helen or Imelda looks better as the Queen 👑.
@@tomspence8506 My vote goes to Helen cuz can turn into her better. To me, Imelda looks like Imelda lol. When I watch the movie with Helen Mirren, I forget I’m watching her and I think I’m watching the queen
@@Stardust_7273 Helen did look so much like her. Imelda looks okay from what I've seen of her as I've seen pictures of her in character on the internet but I'm convinced Imelda's version of the Queen 👑 might be too similar to the Dolores Umbridge character she played in the Harry Potter films, but you may never known Imelda might actually surprise us. At least Imelda had the correct eye colour as her and Claire Foy have blue eyes just like her majesty whereas Olivia Coleman's eyes are brown👁️.
Too little, too late Queenie!
We who loved Diana will NEVER forget her! R.I.P Diana XOXOX
Well said!
Ur Majesty.......u will be judged one day as u face the "Real Most High n The Most Powerful of All"....
i love HM THE QUEEN LONG LIVE
I'm loving how calm and unemotional she is about it :/
I outta take a lesson from the queen to not get more emotional when i run out of milk in the fridge. That is the the most heartfelt response i can give on this eulogy. -_-
I was embarrassed by that moaning populace back in '97. That the Queen had to give this speech speaks volumes of British immaturity. To try to help people who never personally knew Diana Spencer feel better about their own emotionally empty lives makes me understand why the UK still needs a parental symbol in the form of the monarch. I wonder if the weepers still cringe when thinking about their ridiculous behaviour? It's unforgivable that the Queen was made to do this, but I'm glad she did - documentary proof of the stupidity of the mob.
"DIIIIIIANNNNNNNNAAA" absolutely pathetic. She was an ordinary human being, not a saint. The public out-pour was ridiculous and a true reflection of people's obsession with celebrity to fill their lives. Every time I see the original funeral procession I really cringe. The thing that people forget is that the Queen was raised in a different era, not with the soppy, insincere and sycophantic attitudes of people today. Just because she didn't wail her heart out doesn't mean she feel regret the loss of her grandchildren's mother. People should understand that it was a family tragedy and she dealt with this pressure in the only way she knew - unfortunately, this didn't meet the needs of an insipid part of the population who felt they both owned and knew Diana.
Kristopher Alex You're kidding right? She hated Diana.
***** You need to talk to someone love! You actually believe you have some sort of close connection with Diana. To be quite honest, no one cares a fuck about your obsessive compulsion to rant about a woman you never knew. Nor are people interested in your non-existent knowledge about the royal family and their personal feelings. I assume you saw the Diamond Jubilee - Elton was their singing away along with the vast majority of London - oops who gave a fuck about Diana. Saint Diana didn't give a fuck about you while she was shagging her way round millionaire playboys and sat on private yachts in the south of France frittering away tax-payers money - she was no different than any other camera loving celebrity. Bout time someone told you that. Now, so-long fruitloop hahaha :D
Kristopher Alex Were you replying to me or the previous poster?? I don't believe I have a "close connection with Diana" to quote yourself. You're seriously mislead by my one, tiny comment, if you believe I'm highly invested, obsessive, or some sort of blind 'Diana follower'...??? Dude you need to relax.
Penny for your thoughts? It wasn't for you lol! It's for the nutcase who commented above - she seems to have lost the plot.
Genuine
yeah its amazing how accurute it is in the background
Princess Diana touched the heart of many unfortunate sprites , without doubt she will rest in paradise, god bless her
Ok hold it she is fighting back mamoth. Grief. She did a splendid beautifual. Job. !

***** It was overstated nonsense. There are plenty of good women - charity workers that do not have the benefit of an endless bank balance, and raise children who do not get this recognition. I don't weep and wail over people I never knew. If people spent more time investing their emotions in their own families rather than celebrities - we'd have a much better country.
Kristopher Alex In essence, you make a fair point. But your criticism of other people's obsession with celebrity is undermined by your own interest in the same story. You don't rise above others, simply by having a different viewpoint.
The sympathy towards Diana, which you condemn, is matched by your own sympathy towards the Queen.
How many times have you seen the funeral procession footage? Sounds like at least two times more than I'd have credited someone without interest. And what are you doing here, at this video?
Are vocal grievers pathetic? Or are people with more level emotions pathetic, by abusing that strength and ridiculing those who are less in control of their instinctive responses?
97channel Although I understand your point, I think you've misunderstood my comment. Taking an interest in a publicised event is quite different from obsession with celebrity. I don't profess undying loyalty to the cause of defending the Queen and I certainly won't be wailing from the rooftops on her passing. I'm merely offering a different perspective to the situation. I also think there if fine line between instinctive response and mass hysteria. I don't see myself as superior, but I do think that it's important to stand back and think about the reality of your grief before you line the rooftops for a dead celebrity. I don't vocally mourn those who I never knew - I find it disingenuous. I understand your point, but I stick by my own.
doc martin With language like that, you need your fingers broken.
Kristopher Alex Very true. I think you put it best.
no words....
RIGHT ON.. TOTALLY TRUE ..
All the world loved your mother. All the world mourned the loss of your mother. We were all sad. To cherish her Memory as long as I live. .
said with all the feeling of a rubber cosh. as if she's reading this from the heart. she hasn't got one. No feelings whatsoever.
Shut up
That's her job. She keeps her personal expression private, hello...
To HRH, Harry: All the world loved your mother. All the world mourned the loss of your mother. We were all sad, for a very long time. We all wish she was not gone. And we also love Her Majesty, Elizabeth Regina
We understand how you ended up marrying a D list actress and were hooked on Pot for a while.
@@georgemacdonald206. How nasty can you get?
she was a beautiful person Diana I hope your in heaven looking down .r.i.p
GOD BLESS THE QUEEN AND PRINCES WILLIAM AND HARRY
It was an unprecedented event and a very sad time. Diana was still the mother of William and Harry and still part of her family, despite everything that had happened.
What I don't understand is why so many people are so upset and blame the Queen. She decided to put her two grandchildren's well being before her people and I can't understand why that in itself would be a bad thing. Especially since the English are very much of the stiff upper lip, you don't show emotion in public, that you keep to yourself and grieve in private. I wonder if the Queen had not done that and had come back to London the moment it happened if she then would have been criticized by the public for not putting the well being of her two grandchildren first. By staying in Scotland they were able to shelter the boys from the public and what was being said about their mother and all the different accusations. Plus they were at this moment planning how to bring Diana back and going through the planning stages of her funeral service. Plus the whole outrage about the flag not being at half mass was crazy. When the kings of the past have died the flag was never put at half mass. I often wonder if the press didn't print all what they had of wheres the Queen and about the flag if all of this would have happened. It seemed to me that the press and media was the one that really fueled this out cry and rage towards the royal family and had no care to what was being said might matter in anyway to her two young children...for crying out loud Harry was only 12 when he lost his mother and there was no sympathy towards her children in anyway from the media. It was all about them and their lost when in actuality her children had more cause for lost and pain when they lost their mother. Both Diana and Charles made mistakes in their lives and trying to put the blame on someone for it won't change the fact that she died, it won't bring her back and in a way probably causes her sons more pain each time new theories about her death then only to find out nothing from it. I sometimes read peoples comments and its like they have put her on this pedestal where she is some saint that was perfect in every way and did no wrong. We have only been told their versions of the truth and what people who where close to them have added but were also paid for saying. We did not personally know them and saw what happened behind closed doors. Then all the books that are written when we have know idea if you can believe because some of their sources are not really creditable or have been paid to talk. If someone will pay you for stories and you need the money wouldn't most people end up making up stories and even outrageous stories because that will get them more money. So how can you truly believe what have been said or written. Plus there was one survivor in that car crash and he was Dodi's personal bodyguard. If someone truly caused that accident other then what we have been told when then why haven't he said anything. Especially since Dodi's father has been so vocal about the fact that it was not an accident. He is wroth a lot of money and could out bid any offer to get him to talk and not keep quiet by the "killer". So for me it comes down to the fact that 1. Diana was not wearing a seat belt. 2. Their driver was proven multiple times from different tests to have been more then 3 times the legal limit of alcohol in his system at the time of the crash and 3. In order to get the cars radiator in the front seat of the car when they hit the cement beam they had to have been driving up to 90 or more mph in the tunnel that has a speed limit of what 30 or so mph. But lastly no one forced them to leave that hotel that night. They could have just stayed there. playing cat and mouse with the media. I didn't understand. She was in the media stoplight for 17 years and knew that so why try to out run them when they would find them no matter what. They were safe there. Its not like the media could come bursting into their hotel room. Plus she also decided to let go of her police protection and personal protection. That was her choice and not the palace.
To me trying to place the blame on someone will not bring them back. its been more then 15 years since she has died. By doing this it is more hurtful and harmful especially for her two boys who will be told and might read what is being said. Plus for does who get mad that they are close with their fathers I dont understand that. Why should a child have to pick a side both their parents loved them and raised them why should they not be close with him especially if he never showed nothing back love from that parent. Do you expect every child from a broken home to choose a parent and never talk to the other one? That is just crazy to me.

People ADORED Diana; RESPOND ACCORDINGLY RF
She was not murdered, for Gods sake. She died a tragic and ordinary death in a car. No one murdered her.
The speech that hurt so many... If she would have cared more about making it thrive as a couple well then the queen who demands respect needs to make sure her don would respect his wife, and not lay down with another.
She was a fighter GOD LOVE HER SHE IS MISSED. As Andrew said in interview i hope they learn from our mistakes and not forget . Speaking of Kate and William and Harry. Respect, love go along way.
Why are so many people insulting the monarchy?
Surely,if you don't like the royal family then don't go out of your way to watch them on UA-cam!
Simple logic really
SMILES.
She is only in her 80's her mother and grandmother lived past 100.
I noticed the Queen did not refer to Diana as Princess Diana, who was allowed to keep the title but not with an HRH or The Princes of Wales. She was simply Princess Diana and to think the Queen could not give her that respect in death. She made sure of saying Prince when it came to her mentioning Charles!
ohmygoodness this is sooooo sad :'( I love the Queen x
Emotional
I don't think it's a secret that the Queen didn't like Diana. However, I doubt she skipped with joy when she found out of her death. Diana wasn't a royal, she didn't know how to behave as one, she wasn't raised with the required brainwashing to do all of the things expected of her without question. And that is why her marriage failed. Thankfully Will was raised half commoner and has broken those boundaries for his wife. However to the Queen, Diana was a woman who divorced her son and smudged the family name. She probably felt the way you would if heard an acquaintances has died. Not many tears were shed but I doubt she was the happy "Nazi" some of you are accusing.
Couldn't agree more. I think the same goes for several members of the royal family. Many say Charles absolutely hated Diana. Truthfully, I have no idea what emotions he felt towards her...but there is NO way he could have been happy that she died. For god's sake...she was the mother of his children and he seems to be a loving father, so I doubt he would do anything to hurt his boys. The whole conspiracy of the Duke of Edinburgh, Charles, and other members purposely setting up her death is just absolute rubbish. I know the Royal Family has to do certain things for a specific image, but in today's day and time, they would never do anything like that. Especially with the knowledge that maybe one day William and Harry would figure out what really happened, IF that actually happened. It's obvious Charles never had feelings of love towards Diana, but when you have two children with someone, there has to be grief at the knowledge that your ex-spouse has passed.
+sodapoplove95 I can't believe how Naive people are the the acts of this animal and what actually happened to Diana..
Exactly!! I can't wait to do some videos on these disgusting people
The RF smudged their own name beginning with Charles Tampon and Andrew's case with underage girls, and Margaret (that's another story)!!
@@reesescups5670. Harry probably figured something already !!!!!
this tribute always makes me wanna cry, Diana used to call the Queen "Mama"! They have been on good terms and in constant contact until her death.. The Queen was at Balmoral comforting her grandsons after Diana's death. To think she did not care is ridiculous!Her priority was with her family, not with people who lay flowers in London! Give her a break! The speech was very warm and touching.
Ok but I never seen this just the Hellenic mirren clip from the queen and well hellen 100% earned that Oscar
For God's sake people, she was reading from a teleprompter. And did you all forget that The Queen bowed her head as Diana's casket passed by?? In thousands of years of British Monarchy, the tradition was that no ruler should bow their head to anything. I consider her action admirable, considering the public hostility toward her until that moment.
diana married charles ,charles loved camilla they had 2 kids and got divorced as millions of people do diana died in a tragic shouldnt have happened but did accident shit happens people to the best of us she left two lovely boys and a charity legacy that goes on be thankful that she was here to touch those lives instead of focusing on how she died its happened nothing is going to change that
The public was very critical of the Queen for going to Balmoral after Diana's death but She was Grandmother to the boys who just lost there Mom, and Her first Duty is to them. Then to the British people.
+George Sams Just to clarify, the Queen didn't "go to Balmoral", they were already there for their late summer holiday when the crash happened in Paris, I know I am being bit nit picking. She decided to remain in Balmoral which is a beautiful place, the countryside and surrounding areas are just another world. Perfect for William and Harry to have escaped the press and photographers.
The Queen is from a different era than Diana was, so of course there was going to be some friction in terms of how both lived their lives. The Queen of course wanted Charles and Diana to be happy, sadly it was not the case. Prince Philip wrote to Diana expressing his dismay that his son would leave Diana for a person like Camila. I remember when my father died when I was just ten years old. I did not want to be anywhere, I just wanted to be alone. No one knows how it feels to lose a parent at a young age unless they have gone through it themselves. I have been through it, and I know what William and Harry were probably feeling, just to close the door and stay away.
She has always put duty to the country above her family
very very carefully chosen words from a woman who despised Diana and who relentlessly and naively supported her son Charles 100 percent through every aspect of their marital woes. There is not a hint of true remorse nor does the Queen mention any such word similar to love in any context whatsoever regarding her and her families ‘grief’ over Diana’s loss. The Queen despised Diana for being honest and telling the world what a liar and a cheater Charles was. The Queen isn’t interested in the truth-she’s merely interested in self preservation for herself and her BLOOD relatives.
When the Queen has ever been rude to anyone? She has manners and would never be rude She is cold but its British stiff upper lip that's the way she was brought up and will not crumble with grief in public.
God save the Queen xx
Good bye English Rose 🌹 Diana Princess Of Wales.

19 yrs ago!
23 years now!
She was not part of the royal family anymore and they still gave her a funeral service that was royal worthy
Argh, didnt mean to click-but even this many years later, Diana's Life, and unnecessary death, are still fresh in my mind-as is this woman's hatred for everything beautiful that Di stood for
The Queen is great, a truly queen even when the monarchy has been ridiculed by its own members with their behaviours over time, but this was her darkest moment as Queen. No one believes a word of this cynical speech.
Sad to watch.
HEAR HEAR !You are spot on there with the family tree, its so sad what happened to Diana.She was only a yr older than me and when my friends and i watched her get married we knew they just wanted her as a breeding tool,so incredibly sad watching her life go down the pan like it did, how unhappy must she have been how very very unhappy,no one deserves that.
yes she does she has power over the US president even
She you don't care at all, its just her duty to present this to the England's people, I don't believe a single word especially when the queen said I "tribute" it was sooooooo empty!!
She's a right forked tongued woman. Don't let the cute little granny look fool you.
God bless you all and she will be in heaven forever with pope John Paul ii
KING BOB!!!
It's weird watching this after seeing the Queen film
she was forced to say..."from my heart".
Leave the queen alone as she loves William and Harry And is heartbroken to witness their sorrow .
Very well said Your Majesty..I totally believe she did the right thing when she stayed at Balmoral in the days after Diana's death..she acted as a grandmother first and she has devoted her own life to the country for so long and had done so with immense dignity and strength of character..I think if anything, it was the British public who acted selfish because they only wanted her here to share "their" grief and never gave a thought that it was William n Harry who needed her to help them with their grief.She may be the Queen but she can't be in 2 places at the same time and I totally agree with her decision to be with her grandsons.
I do not believe one word the Queen has said.
All the Royal family should have rallied round this young woman when she needed help.
These words have been written for the Queen.
I think you have to understand the context of the time here. A year before Diana was slandering Charles to Martin Bashir and saying one of Charle's lovers had an abortion. That's her son. So while I have no doubt she was upset bridges had been burned there
I read somewhere the Royals were scheduled to attend some sort of sporting event a few days after Diana's death and they had no intention of changing their plans when the heard the news !
But the PM advised them against it since it would not look good and The people would be appalled so they decided against it .
The Q seems less devastated by Diana's death than she is by her Royal schedule been at disarray .
If the story is true that is .
I'm British and I can honestly say that I felt nothing when Diana was murdered in Paris.. no empathy nor sympathy.. likewise I felt nothing when there was such outcry over Elizabeth's silence after the murder, no feeling what so ever... Now this doesn't make me a monster.. far from it... I felt nothing because I never personally knew the woman Diana... I could also never quite understand all those millions of Southerners jumping on the bandwagon and showing such embarrassing displays of public affection to a woman they didn't know either... What I do know is that Diana was very well informed as a celebrity and this showed due to the fabulous manner in which she crafted and presented her public profile through the mass media.. Elizabeth comes from an era that died in this country around 1987.. an era of solemn respect and quiet dignity.. how real British people are supposed to behave.. not crying their guts out on the pavement as though they're on some sort of american reality tv show... Diana attempted to bring disharmony and disrespect to the Royal family.. sure she did all sorts of humanitarian things and blah blah blah yet she also spent a great deal of time on holidays, cruise ships, living the high life and being a celebrity, well beyond her brief as a princess.. in the olden days it would have been 'off with her head,' with full public support I might add.... yet this video showed an indirect mass public contempt and mis representation to a 'national public figure' for not showing reality tv style indignity by crying for us all and letting us all know she's with us and one of us.. SHE IS NOT one of us and never has to be 'with us' lest we forget she is our monarch and it is our duty to be 'with her'
Joan Rivers used to say: You say to an english woman "your mother died" the she replies "who got her shoes?"
very good :)
doc martin
If you read my comment again you will see nothing about condoning murder.. the fact that you talk about condoning murder suggests that you don't doubt she was murdered,,, very interesting that you would take that stance.. and in answer to your other nonsensical remarks.... did your father teach you to read? He's obviously as illiterate as you because you CAN'T read and hence why you make stupid comments drawn from your own unresolved personal issues such as anger, rage, lack of education and bad reading skills.. aww poor baby... does baby want a dummy? does baby wanna cry? did baby do a whoopsie in his nappy? cutchie cutchie coooo..

long live the queen
The queen is doing a tribute when she's the reason why Princess Diana died. That's a damn shame what's done on the dark will come to the light. Why did they wait until ten years later to do and autopsy? It makes no sense that people are so jealous and hateful.
ダイアナ妃、幼い時からお世話になりました。
It's not rudeness, it's called the stiff upper lip, it's a major part of British culture vested in the phrase 'keep calm and carry on'. Different cultures have different ways of doing things. If you expect wailing for corpses then watch Middle East funerals.
Why does this remind me of Dolores Umbridge?
Funny you said that because it was just announced that Imelda Staunton will portray QEII in The Crown following Olivia Colman
Heartfelt, very very very very heartfelt! I bet she was stood on the corpse as this was being filmed.
He should have married the one he wanted and then Diana would be happily married and alive today.
As for the flag controversy, the flag would NEVER ever be held at half-mast even upon the passing of the Queen herself, beause the monarch never dies.
*To Lady Diana, Princess of Wales
Boa noite majestade mil perdões me desculpas
I wonder why she took so long to make a speech?
CelesteK.. She was forced to do it. She was forced to agree to fly the flag at half-mast. She was forced to allow Diana's body to lie in one of the Royal Palaces, instead she wanted her body to go to a funeral home.
The only thing she wasn't forced to do was remove the HRH title from her. Her and Charles were in cohorts on that.
I don't listen to this speech anymore......
you can tell she dosent really care.
Try that she was a human sacrifice and she was murdered. Everyone is special, no one should be murdered. She deserved to live a full life and see her children grow up. Lizard breath couldn't have been less caring or empathetic. Whip that tail...
Holy great mother of Godly Actions of all the universe. The holier than thou bowed her head.
She never called her Princess Diana once in her Speech...
+Sydney Rapanganwa She lost her HRH, spitefulness from the Royals after the divorce.
While the Media called her Prince Diana, her correct title was Lady Diana, Princess of Wales.
Megan Williams Yeah 'Prince'...I loved her hit Purple Rain.
Either way, her title was NOT "Princess".
Megan Williams She just lost her HRH. Look it up. You even called her 'princess of Wales'. Stop arguing about nothing.
