Ocean of Flowers
Incredible !
Tremendously yes...
This is with no disrespect, but I don’t think the queen got that much. Please correct me if I’m wrong if you remember.
@@donnageorge2761
That's true, but the royal family didn't want flowers or the Queen herself, but donations?
Charity.
Powerful moment in History! 🌹
When she died I was in a domestic violence shelter I couldn't stop crying for her because when I first laid eyes on her it was a 1982 I was 8 years old and I thought she was the most beautiful person in the world she had such a beautiful soul she was so gentle and genuine...🌍❤️🙏🤲😢. It's 2022 and I'm still sad over her death...
I can’t honestly say that never has been another one,I I don’t think the queen receive that many flowers upon her death of course her death really wasn’t a shock
'Hello. Would you like me to place those for you?'
'No.'
'Oh...'
'These are for YOU'
Where is this moment Sir? I have been searching for it!
@@insecuresoul5490 It didn't actually happen.
@@insecuresoul5490 it's scene from the movie «The Queen» 2006
The Queen never knew how much the people loved the Princess and this is a surprised to her. The Princes were the primary concern as a family. Tony Blair was correct the monarchy needed to do something to acknowledge the people.
Why?
Why did the public not acknowledge the needs of the two children and back off?
Actually I think the answer is the media. If the media had played it - leave the family alone for a week so the boys can grieve I suspect the public would have not been so upset with the RF. Unfortunately reasonable behaviour does not sell.
I don’t remember if the boys were in the forefront of wanting to be seen I think it was the queen herself, people understood why the boys wouldn’t be there with the queen she had a good excuse, her grandsons probably was a little bit afraid to face the crowd her for how she treated Diana my guess is somebody was watching TV to let them know the overwhelming amount of flowers everywhere in London, I don’t remember if the people placed flowers at Balmoral
This is the probably the heaviest walk about any RF had to do.
People with their old fashioned cameras back then compared to today’s. Wow!
RIP Diana. You will always be our true queen.
While perhaps not greatly in touch with her people at the specific time, the queen and family’s first priority were those two young boys.
Perhaps we shouldn’t judge her, as we don’t know how we’d react in the same tragic and unexpected event.
Her Majesty has always been a beacon of poise, elegance, and graciousness.
Very true. However, one does have to remember that she and the palace did not even release a statement or even lower the flag at half mast in the early days of Diana’s death. It took them quite a while to show any sign of sadness/mourning to the public. I think they were in shock at first naturally and didn’t really know how to handle something so unexpected, but a statement and lowering of the flags could’ve and should’ve been done while she was attending to her grandsons.
@@HM-xi5zi Exactly 💯
Frankly I don’t think she warranted any criticism at the time. I was saddened by the lack of restraint shown by the British public in thinking their grief should be attended to before that of the two boys who had just lost their mother.
The Queen did the right thing in staying in Balmoral with the Princes. The saddest thing was the public’s demand the RF return within a week of Diana’s death, instead of giving the two boys at least a week to mourn in private.
Where I think the Queen made a mistake was not putting out a press release in asking for privacy for the two boys.
@@HM-xi5zi There was no flag at Buckingham Palace to be lowered. The only flag that is flown is the Royal Standard over the house when the monarch is present. It should not be lowered as the throne is never empty. The Queen is dead, long live the King.
I think that tradition may be modified now, but it should only be the Union Flag that is flown at half mast.
Absolutely
The Queen was a class act. She is missed ♥
People judged Elizabeth II to be a grandmother before she was queen. She was silent and distant to protect the grandchildren of this media theater.
Omg look at the flowers
Her Majesty lived a life of perennial grace and dignity!!❤❤❤❤
I think the 👑♥️ realized how much the 🌍 loved princess Diana I think she realized that at the end...
What a dreadfully painful time 😢 💔
Truly dreadful and painful
She looks more like Helen Mirren than Helen Mirren!!!
God bless your majesty we love you
She killed Diana
Viene a ver como fue que la gente reaccionó a la muerte de diana y me sorprende que no se compara la cantidad de flores que la gente dejó para diana que para la misma reina hace unos días , es impresionante la cantidad de flores que tuvo diana
I would say it was very different because of the way in which Diana died. She was young with such a promising future ahead of her
@Calmuz96 Not only because of that. People really loves Diana because her compassion and the loving person she was.
Lady Di .la princesa más admirada del planeta.la mujer más admirada por el mundo.
I hope that shows the royal family especially her then husband that she was loved by everyone including the world.
I lost my brother a week later to suicide....1997 was rough like 2020
Sorry for your loss.
I pray that you are/have healed
That is really sad😭🙁😢😖😩😞😿💘💔💀💐🌹💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🇦🇺 from Soraya 🕊️
This moment...
Look how prince Philip put the flowers...
Velle Nayallug just threw them they only went out to see the people cuz if they didn’t they would’ve been overthrown by the angry citizens.
He's a man.. give him a break.
charlesdcw1990
💯%
I noticed it too. Smh
he's an old man too..
The Queen: see, I came.
The People: did that hurt?
This took some courage.
That was not courage, that was fear. She was afraid to loose the crown and her monarchy. People was really pissed off.
@@duliriel You're totally right.
@@duliriel they were pissed off with the queen?
@@macflod yes because she is believed to order the killing of diana and i have always believed she had reason in doing so
@@macflod they were pissed off with the monarchy as a whole to the point of 25 to 30 percent call for complete immediate abolition and suspension of the monarchy
As popular as princess Diana was, The Queen has been, then since she was 26 and when she came to the throne, as The Queen of the dominion and empire - Oz, Canada, NZ etc and et al and is still head of the commonwealth. If Diana had become Queen consort, I'm not sure she'd have had the sustenance in her to see it through. She knew that and had already rescinded, as she confessed in her interview. I do like how The Queen was given some flowers and for her. Seems more moving some how.
I agree
Being 12 I remember people calling her Princess Die and then she died
Sad stuff
Not a mobile phone in sight. Funny that 🤔
God I hope this is a joke
Not a single newspaper in sight. Funny that 🤔
Historic
This was the most unwanted day
The way prince Phillipe threw those flowers...uuugh, like logs into the fire...there, burn. Looks heartless.
No,you're definitely overreacting...
Still sad
Watch a made for TV movie I believe in 2006 titled “The Queen” it somewhat tells the story of the first week after Diana‘s death. Then come back to this video and you might understand it more? If the queen did not do this the monarchy was about to fall!
Made for TV movie? It was a widely respected, globally released theatrical film starring Helen Mirren who won the best actress Oscar for her performance in the title role.
@@fountainchain126 Thank you for that correction in information, I watched it on HBO. Did not remember it was a theater release.
Thank you
@@koltohacros ☺️
I once watched this "made for TV movie" about a ship that hit an iceberg. I remember thinking this movie should have been a theatrical release, especially because of the stars in it, the performances, music, set design..but because I was watching it on TV, well it must have been made for TV. Right?
Move your fat butt over Rose, plenty of room on that Door!
It was a piece of fiction - no doubt based on some information from some staff, but most of it was a work of fiction.
I see it all very differently than most people I guess. The biggest fault on Diana's death had media, and media wouldn't blame themselves of course. So they needed to bring people's focus and anger on someone else and they chose the Queen.
The greatest couple ever. Simple. Britain won`t be the same without them.
No, they arent.
Agree
They r evil . Phillp is a nazin
@@shashibhaskar9606 How do you work that out?
Prince Philip fought for our Country you idiot!
His sisters married Nazi’s that doesn’t mean he was one.
And now both of them are in heaven
Look at the flowers, Diana. Just keep looking at the flowers…
It is interesting to me that many people mention that Queen Elizabeth II had to have been busy taking care of Prince William and Prince Harry. She did not even mother her own children. There is staff set up for that purpose. What makes you think that she mothered her grandchildren?
Grandparents take more care and also spoil their grandkids more than their own kids. It is the norm in our modern society, specially when she has already been queen for 4 decades at that point in time and was pretty knowledgeable of the work and no need of spending time on learning how to be queen.
I wonder how she knew which were for her and which were for Diana
Fez a capa pra não ficar feio p monarquia.
The people demanded both to hear from their Queen and for Diana to be put to rests as the peoples Princess… a Royal.
Eipstein didn't kill himself.
"When the murderer gets what she wants"
2 Ladies had given her flowers for herself there ... - the Queen asked why ... : "because you took care for your grandchildren, M'am" ...
Yes - in that week after Diana's death the people cried : "show us you care" ... ... Even the Queen couldn't be at 2 places at once ... ... The only thing they could have done is putting the flag half mast on top of the palace - any kind of flag ... The discussion about this took too long and was ridiculous ... Here on TV they said later : "anyone could have just doing it - just doing" ...
From Germany with love !!
She never should have paraded their like a circus animal ! But she did it with grace anyway ...
Probably not, as she was looking after the kids (William and Harry) but she is the people's Queen and sovereign head of state, of the dominions and head of the Church of England. Sides Diana's first born will be King one day.
People wanted to see the boys and they were there to support the boys. Were you still young when this happened? I remember people demanded to hear from the monarch from the moment Diana's death was announced that lasted to several days... She spent those days beside her grandsons. I'm not even British but as soon as I heard the news, my first instinct was, "How would the Royal Family react, how would the boys react?"
"Alguien se ha trabajado a este chico antes"
How well I remember the day my husband and I learned Diana was dead. What a shock for me too and I was all the way in America but with all her stories in the newspapers, magazines and news scats, we knew what she was going through. She married a man that was very much in love with his lover. She married thinking he would love only her. British men seem to think it's their god given right to have a wife AND a mistress and they are wrong. Seeing the movie THE QUEEN, it shows a queen much removed from doing anything constructive with the boys, maybe just taking the TV and Radios away. That doesn't help the boys to deal with their grief. They needed to VOICE their feelings, not go stalking an animal to kill, just as their mother was stalked and killed. The movie got that right.
That was a movie. It was fiction. We do not know how the Royals acted with boys.
I am not British and I thought the British public’s behaviour was disgraceful at the time. By all means grieve, but don’t expect the families closest to the loss comfort you.
The other thing is the news you saw was only one side of the story, and without hearing Charles’s side (which wasn’t initially given much coverage) it is very hard to judge.
We ask governments in all countries to unite the bridge pillars as high as one or two meters so that if a car hits a bridge support, it can still slide not as badly as a car crashes into a bridge pillar so that an accident hitting a pillar like what happened to Princess Diana does not happen again, sorry and thank you.
Que esta familia real se vaya al infierno por todo el daño que le hicieron a Diana y a sus hijos yo no entiendo al pueblo es que está ciego que son lo peor yo no saldría a la calle para nada para despedir a seres así en la vida
How come u know that they did damage to diana
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Phillp is not even british . Hes a greek
the public was like some toddler with a tantrum when mummy wasn't giving them attention. sheesh. cant the lady take care of her family in peace. she hid out for 3 months when her father died. now they expected her to dance for some woman who didnt want to be a part of them anymore. a bunch of those people didnt even know Diana. she was just some mirage movie star that they felt they connected to but in reality they were strangers and Diana was just a nice, glamours person who did more photo ops of her charity work. difference with her and Anne is that Anne wasn't that photogenic even though she did more work.
Wow just wondering has this all the flowers and stuff done for anyone else since look at all those flowers did they do this for the queens husband when he died just wondering
Yes, the public did, even though it was lockdown and the government and RF asked the public not to gather or to lay flowers. You can check footage of the Earl and Countess of Wessex inspecting the flowers the day before the funeral.
@@shinjineesen400 oh ok thanks for answering the question it was such a sight to see all those flowers I wish she knew how much she was loved
I think Dianas death effected Prince Philip more than anyone he and Diana had such a close bond peo have said he was behind the fate not true
멀리한국에서 외국땅모습보고갑니다
Elizabeth II's death should remind us why monarchy is helpful. In the 19th & 20th centuries the U.S.A, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain and Greece suffered in various ways civil wars, political storms, and dictatorships. This shows what can go wrong in the absence of a head of state which is above politics, which opposes illegal dictatorship and helps keep the peace. If there are many reasons (like being difficult to invade) why England, Wales, Scotland, Canada and Australia have had no civil war since Culloden in 1746, having a constitutional monarchy to unify all the people is an important one. In the UK, 'peace' in formal speech is "The Queen's Peace".
Elizabeth II was dignified and she put public duty before personal feelings all her life; a woman born in 1926 would want to live by the values and customs of the 1920s and 1930s. A head of state should never be discredited by a wave of popular emotion alone (rates of suicide & self-harm in England & Wales increased considerably in the 4 weeks after Princess Diana died). Those who appeal to sentiment should recall: the emotional needs of Diana's bereaved sons aged 15 & 12 were being attended to, when the Queen was silent immediately after Princess Diana died on 31st August 1997 (she did so on 5th Sept).
Of course Elizabeth II & Prince Philip had their failings as parents; King Charles III's first marriage was a tragic mistake; Prince Philip could be tactless. Whatever mistakes the royal family have made, let us be grateful for the service they give, and for the difference the monarchy makes for the better, in the UK & the world. There will always be violence and political problems in the world, and billions of people who know or understand nothing of the huge, tangible power for peace and stability the British crown is for everyone in Britain, the commonwealth and for the world. Since the 1700s, billions of people have lived under the British crown without civil war, lynching, dictatorship in their lives. God save King Charles III.
Nobody not coming for queen Elizabeth 🤢 that was for Diana only
God save the Queen.
God hates the queen.
“God” doesn’t exist
Fernando Graça fuck you x
OurWindow and fuck you too! x
That aged like milk.
Sadly this overshadowed the death of Mother Teresa less than a week later. She was quite rightly canonised. A Saint through and through.
mother theresa wasn't as photogenic and didnt have publicity people on staff.
And she was a terrible person
@@Richard-yi9yt yesDiana was compared to Mother Theresea, or did she die while galavanting with someone?
Mother Teresa was a hypocritical old witch who raised money for the sick and passed it to the Vatican. She believed that suffering reduced the period of time in purgatory and therefore denied sick people painkillers. Despite the millions collected her hospitals were filthy and disgusting. Needles were reused. When she became ill she had the finest of medical care. If there were hell she would be rotting in it.
Mother Teresa wasn't exactly a great person.
The queen died in September 8th 2022
The queen doesn't has much flowers like Diana.
What a pathetic charade. Love the way Philip gently lays the bouquet down at 1min 20s.
"Gently"
Lol, yeah caught that and laughed. He always seemed like more of a tosser. Not a gentle layer of a guy. Old school man's man.
Those cans are disruptive.
Bcoz of paparazi Princess Dianas car crashes. Two young boys lose thier mother. Their grand mother supports them but than the people think thier grief is more important. Queen comes to meet the people and then also they say that she did this to save monarchy. Withput any proof they pull down another person to thier own level. These people think by watching a movie they know the whole truth but in reality we dont actually know what the queen would have felt behind those closed doors. Rip.
The establishment got it so wrong that day. By the Queen`s own actions, it could have signalled the end of the Monarchy.
But it didn't end the monarchy and as of today HRH popularity is soaring within and out of the Commonwealth.
@@32germanium it didn't end because they were forced to take advice from several ministers and PM to give diana an honorary funeral, and currently their popularity isn't that different from what it was 5 years ago or even 10, however they are using this grandmaesque PR thing to she her as a victim of Harry and Megan and also using her age and recent loss of her husband but in theory her popularity isn't that big in most common wealth, especially non white/European commonwealth. Barbados is actually abolishing her as the head of their state soon.
@@kanamenoname210 Yeah, this comment didn't age well with most of the World currently mourning her. She was a diplomat above all and never forced any Country to be associated with the Commonwealth if they didn't wish to be and never invaded or colonised any Countries during her Reign. She even had no problem going to Dublin and making peaceful gestures with the IRA, even though they were directly responsible some death in her family, during her lifetime. She saw the big picture and was a fair steward of what she had inherited from her forebears. And she actually helped steer Britain OUT of colonialism.
The Monarchy could have really ended at this point. Sadly, I don't think it will continue for much longer. Phillip and the way he placed flowers spoke volumes. The Monarchy will end the day Charles is King and declares Camilla Queen. Diana always knew Charles was not fit for the 'top job' she said so herself.
When Charles becomes king, Camilla will be addressed as princess consort and not a queen consort. They went over this a couple years back. Camilla will not get her wishes to ever become a “queen”.
Eric Jones Clarence House has removed any mention of that their media. Charles was asked if Camilla will be Queen and he said 'perhaps'
the monarchy has survived worse then this and it will continue...nothing wrong with the way Phillip placed the flowers...hes' an older man, was he supposed to kneel and sob? and really they are the ones who knew the princess, not us...we don't know what she was really like do we?.....millions of people crying (me too) for someone they never knew....really is crazy when you think of the mass hysteria at that time..
Useless family.
The best bet they can have is have Charles abdicate the throne and have William reign. But I doubt Charles' ego will allow him to do so.
Wat alot of lieks
I’m not buying it. The Queen should’ve ran down from Balmoral the second the people began to mourn. She is the Queen of the UK - not just her family. She swore to serve her country. Yes her grandchildren were mourning, but the people were mourning too. And she swore to serve the people. She didn’t. The government practically had to beg her to come down.
I have to agree. I mean a lot of people are saying that she’s the queen she shouldn’t have to expose her family matters to the public (especially when the queen doesn’t even like Diana and she may have a hand in her death) it is her duty to get off her soap box and tend to the public’s grief regardless of her personal relationship towards Diana.
I don’g think the queen should have rushed straight from Balmoral, the people there are her people too, not only people in London. I do think the Royal Family should have given a statement earlier, but she did the right thing, taking care of the 2 boys first.
@@bloxybuildz5753
She didn’t stay in Balmoral for the sake of the people there. She stayed there to get away from the media etc. It’s basically her holiday home.
The Royal family should’ve given a statement the second they found out about her death, the flag should’ve went at half mast as soon as her death was announced and not wait until her funeral. The Queen should’ve come down from Balmoral to help her people mourn, she only had to go herself, there was no need for her to bring the entire family. All they wanted was the Queen to help her people mourn.
She let down the people a few times in her life for selfish reasons, this was definitely one of those reasons.
She hated Diana, that’s why she didn’t want to come down. It had nothing to do with the grandchildren.
She dropped the ball on this one big time,the people loved Diana whole and true and Phillip and the Queen I think were absolutely disrespectful to the fact of her death,if it wasn't for Tony Blair she would have never flown the flag over all royal establishments over London and went on a stroll around the place to look at the millions of flowers left by us the British people,she also did the live TV all because of Tony Blair,no one in the monarchy history or ever will there be a morning like this one,Princess Diana was the peoples princess and to this day is Sorley missed RIP Diana 🙏but she has honored our country for then 50 yrs a job she never wanted and a job that killed her farther before her,but she should have been alot more compassionate regarding Diana's death
they never got this treatment when her mother died they will never see this ever in there life times, Diana was more loved more famous then any of them and they couldnt bare it, Diana was real wasn't fake wasn't a snob cared for everyone, these people r fake, murdered her and pounced around her mourners looking for some kind off respect from people is disgraceful!
I am the duckess of st. Louis
Wat slot of lieks
3:24 "Why were they all crying? They didn't know her..." Elizabeth II
and it's a good question.....even Prince Harry said in an interview he didn't understand why people were crying and screaming when they never even met his mother...
Because people see the symbol, not the person.
@@maryt2196 Prince Harry must be "thick" like his dad if he doesn't understand why people STILL cry for Diana.
@@dorarouzi or more likely, he's not "thick".rather, the people that still cry for a stranger they never met are the "thick" ones.....
@@maryt2196 The people cried for Diana because she was and she is STILL loved by millions of people all around the world.
Amazing that 3 minutes was all it took for the crumbs from the Queen's table to revert the masses back to supporting this archaic, undemocratic institution.
Imagine thinking that democracy is a good system.
Prince Philip, finally,let's go have some tea. Yuck to the both of them.She had me fooled for some years and recently after her jubilee. The facts remain,It is the Royal Court first,second,and third.

Why is there an Islamic flag there by the flowers?
grrr6637 Dodi Fayed died with Diana and he was a muslim so that's probably why that flag is there. Some people left tributes for dodi to. Such a sad time.x
it is not an islamic flag it is Pakistan's flag. an Islamic country's flag. although i am confused too as why was it there...

Soll Sie schauen was Sie erzogen hat 😠
Her majesty THE QUEEN was right choosing not to show she csred
Then she was forced to pay tribute to that woman who passed her last years trying to DESTROY QUEEN' S REPUTATION
Diana was too young when she married ok....but she knew the royals since she was born ....in Sandringham
She didn' t belong to a simple family ,she was Lady Diana SPENCER
She exactely knew whom she was going to marry..the future king
In italy,there 's a saying,that is:" did you want I gave you a bycicle? Now,com' on, RIDE !!!"
"HAI VOLUTO LA BICICLETTA? Adesso,pedala!"
Diana was NOTHING compared to her Majesty....
She had not THE CLASS AND THE STRENGTH OF QUEEN MOTHER,for example
God save the Queen
Viva il Re...Viva la Monarchis...that unfortunately, ended in my country🇮🇹
Avanti,Savoia!❤
Reptile
a disgraceful moment in history, wasn't she holidaying in Scotland, didn't come home immediately, if she hadn't of got out of the car I think she would have been booed. Just saw the Duke put some flowers with no feeling for placing them down gently.........if you ask me they are relieved she's dead :( RIP Diana
She was seeing her grandchildren (who's mother had just died), not holidaying.
She was taking care of her family away from the media that killed their mother.....
She was in Scotland when they found out Diana had died. Her first concern were her grandsons. Tough shit that she didn't just come out and speak to the public. SHE had her priorities straight, while others (the public) only thought about themselves and their grief.
@@LisaNYC70 Straight facts. I don't understand these dumb fucks who think they DESERVED something from the Queen, more than the two sons who had just lost their mother. What the fuck is that mindset about?
queen totally ignored the women asking for followers to be put there, gangster Philip was like wtf r these oh u want me to put them there ok and bosh, Philip is amusing kind of royal person which Prince William and rest find him amusing, but underneath him what do we know was it him who ordered the secret service to have her killed or not we know one thing that's true he was one who made her life he'll while she was alive and she told world that.
The queen asked everyone who handed her flowers where would they like her to place them and instead, they told the that queen they were for her. Also, you can google the letters sent between Diana & Prince Phillip and they are both very nice to each other.
Rascals
A walking killer!
