Indian Historian Babasaheb Pudandare while telling how British love & preserve their history gave example of this ship HMS Victory. He was surprised that British even knew the place where Nelson actually fell down on the deck. We Indians won lots of wars too but we never preserved our history. HMS Victory is a lesson for Indians and everyone around world "How to preserve History"
What a great video . I just came across these videos and enjoying all of them so far they're are great. Edward if you come back to Canada you should do some videos in the Okanagan Valley thanks.
The Royal Yacht was a symbol of our state. A mobile hosting point and PA global attraction to the monarchy. One of the biggest mistakes was not to commission a successor to Britannia.
Fantastic ,absolutely love Portsmouth due to Dad being a petty officer, uncle being a fleet chief , both started as rating made their way up ranks . So we always visit south sea hayling island Portsmouth surrounding area every year . My mum is getting older now so we just held a party and your documentary was at the centre of it ... so thank you so much for a great overview of Portsmouth , it meant a lot to her . Yet another fantastic documentary .
What a shame. Edward. didn.t stay doing documentarys on the UK.he had found his niche.it is most interesting.if Edward reads these comments please do some more .I.m.a.resident of Canada now since 1968 but I have always regarded England as my home Canada is only to me my adopted home God Save the Queen
Love this, Though Palmerston's folly does not include Portchester castle. The fifth fort to the north west was Fort Wallington, now a industrial estate and partially knocked down. To the west on the Gosport peninsula are Forts Elson, Sultan and Rowner, with Nos 1 and 2 batterys at Browndown an upgraded Fort Gillkicker and Fort Monkton on the Solent coast.
I am surprised that Prince Edward did not mention the fact that his parents first met in Portsmouth when George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother were on tour there in 139 just before the start of the war. His father, the Duke of Edinburgh was stationed at Portsmouth and assigned to look after Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret
The justification to tax payers and the public for having the Royal Yacht was always that it could be quickly converted into a hospital ship in time of war. The Falklands war blew holes through that excuse when it was decided not to use it. So it was just a floating gin palace for the Royals to use for their holidays and honeymoons. The Queen shed a tear when it was decommissioned. I didn't.
I am sure the Monarchy would happily swap the Civil List for the revenues of the Crown Estates, which are,after all the Monarch's.b. It would substantially increase the Royal income and allow the Monarch to afford fipperies like Royal Yachts.
I think these are an absolute treasure!
Agree

A treasure trove of historical information! Subscribed!
Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex is a scholar.
nah dropped out of uni should not have been admitted based on his grades, google it
@@Kelly-ip8nn Considering the lack of general knowledge & common sense by some former uni students that's a plus in Edward's favour.
@@Kelly-ip8nn Sometimes grades shouldn't be given importance. Karma should be given importance.
Edward became the coolest Royal after Harry became a ****.
Title music and much of the incidental music by Paul Pritchard
He's the Queen's third and youngest son...
The intro in the chopper felt like an Alan Partridge bit 😄
I think Prince Edward is a great commentator 🙂

It was the only place She could be away from the press
