The Crown brought me here....
Same lol
me2
soilofk stfu mate tell someone who gives a shit
Same
ME TOO hahaha
Raise your hand if you’re here because of The Crown. 🙋🏾♂️
Rich Williams I am here because Jesus the real king he is the one who gave himself on the cross for all , that is why I am here!!!
Izako Palma Yawn. 🥱
Me too
Actually, I'm here because of the Goon Show.
I did not watch all the video, but i'm really here because the "The Crown".
Princess Diana, the future Princess of Wales was celebrating her 8th birthday on that day. wow
wow that is a freaky coincidence, the future princess of wales marries a man who became prince of wales on that day she was born.
Good knowledge!
Anu@ ❕Diana 8 years old already....please pay attention
Vincent Ryu they meant the day not the year
hiks
The Crown season 3 anyone?
Yup
Blue Knight there you go, I gave you a like so you won’t feel left out
@Blue Knight I'm also giving you a like. Better?
Yessss
Why am here ? 😓
This is gonna sound weird, but the actor that portrayed Charles was cute
@smadge100 josh O'Connor is hot and a great actor. Watch God's Own Country. Marvallous, marvellous young actor.
The actor made me feel sad for Charles
Darylle Pedrosa josh o Connor.... u should see God’s own country..... Really he’s hot
yes, indeed, it was weird
Hes ok but much better than the real Charles lol. His eyes aren't so damn close
Can I just say, the Queen looks considerably younger and slimmer then The Crown's version of her.
olivia colman is just annoying and very silly choice
agree. I think they should have kept claire foy and just add more makeup.
It seems like British women don't have anything else to do than bashing other women. What a shame. We do things more progressively on the continent.
@@metanefridija they should have kept Claire, because when Season 2 ended, it was the early 1960's when Elizabeth was 35, then Season 3 begins in the late 1960'sthey replace her with Oliva who is almost 50! very BAD CASTING!!!!!!!!
@@buffedtrainer1 my thoughts exactly! olivia did an amazing job as queen anne in the favourite and I think she's a good actress just the casting of her for this period is terrible! claire would've done great for one more season.
Damn the actor in the Crown really nailed the voice...
Charles was an impressive public speaker for his age
Indeed
Yes sir
When you realize that this was 50 years ago, and Charles is still not King.
And he doesn't deserve to be the King.
@@KMnnA deserve is never a word to be thrown when talking about monarch.
Well, at least he must know how his great great grandfather Bertie must have felt!
And we hope never will be.
@@nativevirginian8344 I think he will be. Talk of him stepping aside for William seems a bit far-fetched, but we'll see.
None of this is relevant while the Queen is still alive.
Its amazing to see TV footage 50 years ago look so clear.
And the audio is crystal clear
@@prele soooo true, LOL!!
If you want to blow your mind, look at the live coverage of the 1970 General Election. It is spectacular and looks and feels so modern, I've seen worse from the mid 1980s.
Because 50 years ago was the modern era
When things are shot on good film and well preserved they can be converted into digital at pretty much any resolution. That is why the wizard of oz for example can get a 4k version.
Anyone else here from the crown?
Mike Watson Yep 🤣
Yup
Mike Watson yes
never heard of it
Me 😅
They really knocked it out of the park with the casting for princess Ann in the crown.
1:26:11 is the Prince’s speech. thank me later
Thank you
it is later now i thank you
Thanks you now
Thank you
Thank you.
Queens hat looks like one of those lego hair pieces u stick on a mini figure. 🤯🤯
😀 😀 😀 😀
I think it looks like that hat came from Star Wars the older version lol
Or a PEZ dispenser?
And I really don’t understand fashion... can someone explain the hat thingy plsss?
@@Gary81185 hats of all styles have always been a tradition within the monarchy, if you go back through all the different periods you will see how hats have changed even males with hats too.
Me: I really need to get some sleep.
TH-cam: Hey. Wanna see an investiture?
Me: ok.
hahahahha!!
Well, in actuality, how often does one actually get to SEE an investiture? It really is a once in a lifetime thing.
Prince Charles has a handsome voice. I never noticed before.
its what is inside his head that matters
His voice is more handsome nowadays, I think.
@@joao_mta_03 I wouldn't call it more 'handsome.' I would call it more royal. Charles SOUNDS like a king!
@@retroguy9494 but do not acts as one
@@matteoviola5760 Oh? How does a king act? I wasn't alive when his grandfather was on the throne!
Fun fact: Caenaforn castle was used as a filming location for the scene in the Crown that depicts this very event. (In other words the scene for the show was filmed where it took place in real life.)
Wow! I didn’t know that. That’s cool.
The Crown has increased my respect for Charles and admiration for Anne, diminished my opinion of Philip, and increased my side-eye toward Lizzie.
I wouldn't entirely put trust in the Crown. It is indeed a beautiful piece of cinematography and art. But it is not a documentary of any kind either.
OURSIS THEFURY he’s not a pedo. He’s just friends with a pedo.
KissAnAngel LottaLove the girl he shagged was 17.
17 is not a child.
Legal age of consent is 16 in the U.K. as well as many us states.
Don’t be hysterical
Jimmy .L there’s an intelligent person.....
Wanna be a realist and replace the monarchy with some elected president.....
Never gonna happen.
Cymro 65 exactly my point.
I know other countries got rid of their monarchies.
But the U.K. loves it’s monarchy.
When they're on the balcony for The Queen to present him to the people, she mouth, "I'm proud of you," right before she lets go of his hand. Such a sweet moment
When?
@@lkctom2546 1:33:27
I believe she said, “Let’s wave, to the crowd.”
Let’s talk about what is really important here....the queens hat is awful 😂
I mean, its horrible.
Seeing it on Olivia Coleman in the crown ....it was so bad I felt bad for her
No, the Queens hat is awesome. Epic. Love the hat so much. Futuristic. Love the Queen.
First thing that came to my mind when I saw her hat for the first time was she was inspired by Star Wars and princess Leia 😂
That hat is hideous. It looks like a helmet from a cheesy sci-fi.
He just looks so sad. He keeps looking at his mother for some kind of affection or something, and she just looks at everything and anything but at him. It really is sad.
But look at HER as well. That scowl. She doesn't seem happy in the least. But yet, the Welsh people were giving her trouble at the time which is why this elaborate ceremony was held when it was in the first place. So perhaps that would explain it.
I read she liked dogs and horses better than children. The way some of them turned out, it shows.
@@nativevirginian8344 The Queen had a large family probably because it was simply expected of her. Back in those days being a childfree spinster was weird enough, never mind being totally uancceptable if you were royalty.
@@clarissamcpigeon7857 it's still weird
@@nativevirginian8344 Hilarious wit in your part but is it truly justified more than the average i.e. non-Royal family?
This was the very first time I saw colour TV. Was in school, I was 6. So nice to see it again.
Michael Turner I was 9 and we still had a black and white television when I saw this.
@M J The television networks in the States went full color in 1966. The first show I remember watching in color was "Batman". We still had B/W TV sets in our home so I watched it with a neighbor.
I just watched this episode at The Crown. They sure did their homework!
This BBC coverage is amazing. "The Crown" really played down the hype surrounding the investiture. I had no idea that Prince Charles investiture had so much international attention.
Well there were no navy ships as talked about in the Crown
Uhm, how exactly the Crown played down its significance?))) I'd say vice versa...
Eugeniya Leshenko, The episode did not focus on the international interest of the investiture. It concentrated on what the Welsh felt about Charles and Charles relationship with his Welsh professor and the queen. In my opinion, it portrayed the investiture as only something the U.K. was mildly interested in.
@@Clintvictory I can't agree, I think they made a point of showing/saying it would be globally broadcast. But since it's TV and time is limited here, they chose to focus on several aspects -diplomatic mission to patch things up with Wales, and relationship between Charles and the Queen. That's how TV works
Eugeniya You don’t have to agree. You’re entitled to your own opinion. The BBC coverage shows more than it being broadcasted globally. The Japanese Prime Minister actually came to the event, Japan is certainly not a commonwealth country. I think the show missed an opportunity, to highlight the UK’s soft cultural power that it has via the royal family outside of the commonwealth and 🇬🇧.
Yep, like everyone else The Crown brought me here. The episode about the Investiture is my favourite of the series.
Same here mate
@@e.p3509 That scene on the end which the Queen talks to Prince Charles, though....heartbreaking.
@@jumafaro Indeed... And his monologue at the stage in the end, his lonely sad eyes...😢
This episode of crown3 was one of my favorite episode on crown series. I always thought prince charles as a bad and unfaithful person, but watching the crown i touched and admire of his personality. Love this show so much
Charles had a very difficult, unloving upbringing. He is a good and kind man who has done a lot of good work.
He was unfaithful to Diana because he always loved Camilla whom he couldn't marry. The one big mistake of his life was not to stand up to his parents about his choice of wife - but if you watch the show you'll realise how difficult it would have been for a sensitive boy who was always bullied by his parents.
We all don’t know how he is real life. Don’t forget the director can make the worse of people be loved by viewers.
I do admit that royals had it harder back in the day before their belief system evolved. Honestly if I was Charles I would have pushed to marry Camilla and not let it slide.
@@glykera also, with the abdication of his uncle Edward VII for the women he loved, who was twice divorced and been around a block or two.
this comment aged well considering how he is depicted in Season 4 hahahahaha
@@glykera maybe you haven't watched season 4 yet. lol
I was 9 years old watching this in 1969 with my great great uncle born in 1890. He took the monarchy very seriously and with reference. He fought in WWI and had lots of stories. Looking forward to May 6 2023. God bless the King.
Reverence
Come here after watching the crown , and I do feel sorry for the young Prince Charles
The man has achieved an unprecedented record for the longest time waiting to ascend to the throne.
RIP Richard Baker, a truely superb Newsreader, presenter and narator. Not to be forgotten.
Footage looks great for 1969, looks like its from the 1980s in my opinion
Considering it’s broadcast it could’ve looked a lot more shittier
I watched this on television when I was 9 years old!
That's amazing!!
I was just 10.
So did the future Princess Di.
@Rico Ten What did you think of Charles?
@Rico Ten Have you seen the recent picture of him? I'm being very disrespectful but at the same time blimey he looks ruff.
Previously I hated Charles because of leaving Diana..... But after crown I started sympathising with him as a troubled soul forced to live a cold life with a cold heart. My son is almost his age now..... I can feel the emptiness of his soul. Like u Charles.....like my son
I watched this live on television when I was 11 years old, with my grandmother.
My grandmother would often talk about them coming to Caernarfon. She loved the royals. She went to see them when they came during this time.
awww
I'm from Caernarfon. The filming took all week for The Crown, pretty much everyone in the town got involved as extras, but the town shots shown in the final episode were sooooo brief 🤣🏴
How could he stay on his knees for so long
That was exactly what I thought xddd
He was 20. The young can endure things like that. Plus, the contraption was padded if you look close enough.
This is awesome! Thanks for posting🙌🙌
Would it have killed them to throw in some subtitles?
After his speech in Welsh, he repeated it in English. The text can be found here: www.princeofwales.gov.uk/speech/speech-hrh-prince-wales-replying-loyal-address-sir-ben-bowen-thomas-president-university
I think they all spoke a little posh on TV back then at least it's not in black and white!
1:29:32 - "A very memorable goon." - a reference to Harry Seacombe of the Goon Show. HRH the Prince of Wales was a big fan of the Goon Show growing up.
so interesting... young Charles... I wonder who designed the Queen's hat and what were they thinking?
It is quite a hat, but fashionable of the late sixties mod-styling
@@justme_66 I think it's ugly as hell. As does most of us.
It looks like a shitty hand made craft that you’d make for Mum when you were in kindergarten which she’d just throw out in secret
@@preppyprbsims5030 What part of “the late-sixties” in the comment did you not understand?
@@riom.6091 As much as your condescending tone did. That much. Lol. I'm speaking on behalf of the 21st Century. Sounds like you got a huge problem.
1:31:36 you can really see how proud Aunt Margarette was.
btw 52 years later the Queen is still queen
Regarding the latter, I think we know that! Anyone who does not must be living under a rock!
YES. I noticed that too
Not anymore, no one lasts forever.
It's fantastic to watch this again. I remember watching this in school as an' 8 year old on a black and white TV. Its hard to believe this was over 50 years ago . It was refreshing to hear Richard Baker saying for those of you who are not watching in colour.
The actor does look like young charles
Given how Prince of Wales Investitures will obviously never happen again. I'm glad we got the full coverage of this one.
Why? William seems abhorrent for such event???
@@JV-yd4qg I rest my case.
@@alextucker5819 most likely will never happen
IM SCREAMING DOES NO ONE ELSE THINK THIS LOOKS LIKE THE QUIDDITCH SCENE IN HARRY POTTER
No...
You're screaming?
Yes to me it does!
A 20 year old P. Charles on Diana's 8th b'day.
Diana in turn was 20yo when she married him 12 years later.
Woww!! 😮
How old was Camilla? And was she somewhere in the audience?
@@retroguy9494 Camilla wasn’t there and Charles hasn’t met her yet.
@@ninjanoh7014 Really? I thought they met when they were kids!
Why do people feel the need to say this, it just makes it creepy.
"no one wants to hear your voice"
I mean all of us have parent issues...
I remember this when I was 11 years old, I was mad because all the regular tv programming was preempted, I was too young to appreciate what a big deal this was, wish I had paid more attention.
Kids are like that.
Hello 👋 dear friends of The Crown 👑!
The hat of the Queen seems like it has a reminiscent reference to something worn in the 1500 or 1600s. That's the only time women seemed to wear a hat of this design. Wouldn't have been my first pick either, but I'll bet it has a historical meaning behind it.
the series was very true to the costume and setting,
The hat! Who thought that was stylish? It's like a vintage leather football helmet in cream color with embedded pearls.
Sadly, the 1970's brought even worse styling. I think the decade from the late 1960's to the late 1970's was the very WORST for fashion.
Looks like a melon.
@@retroguy9494 Precisely! Fashion changed for the worst after Edwardian era with a few exceptions of classical clothing from this century.
@@teaonrainyday888 Well, I like the clothing from 1910 (when King Edward died) up to around 1960. With, perhaps one exception and that would be the 'flapper dresses young women wore in the 1920's.
48:48 Princess Margaret looks pissed
you mean Anne, right?
@@dennerviana right & her name is also MARGARET
Nah, Margaret doesn't look pissed off. Anne definitely does though.
As if it was the same in the crown..its anne. hehe
@@TheLyric300 I don't think she has Margaret in her name.
I remember watching this from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was 8. I’m now typing this on the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
We had to watch this at school on the day. Much resentment at not getting a half day
1:26:00 When he starts his speech in Welsh
Very Proud to have you all on board 🙏
I wonder what wonder the view count was before The Crown season 3.
Okay, I will save you all some time. EVERYBODY here is after watching the Crown season 3 episode 6))))
Eugeniya Leshenko What Crown?
@@MrSteamDragon the crown on Netflix. Depiction of the Royal family. 3 seasons so far. Very Interesting and quite factual in their portrayal
Not everybody is here after watching the Crown.
I was about 6 when this was shown!! We watched it at school!!!
Watch Princess Margaret’s startled reaction at 1:28:54...she had heard an explosion in the distance. Unknown to the crowd and to viewers watching, dissidents had attempted to bomb the event but were intercepted.
point of order: i cannot find anything that mentions an explosion during the speech, only an explosion early that morning and various explosions in the weeks and months surrounding the speech.
Graham Floyd It featured on a documentary recently aired on ITV in the UK called Charles 50 Years a Prince, where more details were revealed. If you listen very closely you can hear the muffled sound at that point. It was also revealed that earlier two dissidents were ‘taken out’ by special forces.
Very interesting. I didn’t know that.
at 1:27:34 you can clearly here some kind of an explosion in distance... and the queen does seem bothered by something on 1:28:20 and on, but I can't hear it at the mark you mentioned. Maybe the princess was distracted by the response of some of the security guards.
@@BlackPixel1 more like the sound of something hitting the floor or the microphone. Definitely not an explosion. And the queen is just looking at certain direction, not distressed at all.
I remember this day. I was 17 and across the other side of the world.
The Crown netflix brought me here... Its so nice to see the real event.. And by blood he is not welschan but he becomes a son of Wales when he was mentored by a Welschan best language teacher and he Prince Charles is one in heart with the Welschan
That really impressive what he did in. His 20
Love how the Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition & dignitaries from abroad all travelled from London on one British Rail train. Not an SUV in sight. Today's leaders could learn from 1969.
I see that Charles grew up right here at this moment. His individuality came out. So confident and already to learn more of England's history of the people.
The Crown me trajo aquí 🎈
1st July 2019 Mark's 50 years !! Hard too believe!! Time certainly does fly!!!
I visited this castle September 2019 an stand in the pace where die prince of wales stood
Did you see Princess Margaret when Charles added his own bit at the end of the speech? Lol!
Announcer said Charles was first to speak Welsh since the English took title. Not true .. Prince Edward studied it at university and spoke it at Caenavron in 1911 at his investiture. In subsequent years, Prince Edward spoke often in Welsh to crowds travelling throughout Wales.
So Prince Edward was first, and certainly had a stronger grasp of the Welsh language than his successor.
@smadge100 I mean, you would have probably done the same (collaborated with the Nazis) to get the Crown back after you were "forced" to give it away just because your wife was divorced twice. Britain didn't look that strong after Dunkerque.
I'm not Welsh, nor am I even a British citizen... But when I watched this in The Crown, i got teary eyes as my own State have been fighting for Self-determination and for our own identity and language to have more recognitions. Sincerely; Sabah (formerly British North Borneo)
1:04:53
Was "God save The Queen" not sung, or was it cut from this very video? Thanks.
The Crown brought me here. I also have a new found respect for Charles, as for Elizabeth and Phillip not so much.
Oh? What do you have against poor old Phil?
I have a noew found respect for all three of them. Phillip was a tough man, but he always stood beside The Queen.
Actual Welsh speech starts 1:26:17 yall are welcome ❤🏴
He's a far better speaker then the crown suggests.
1:20:10 The Queen whispered “Here, just give it to him”
I remember watching this on tv in 1969 as a small boy. Just watched King Charles coronation on tv yesterday. I hope it will be Prince William's turn for this now.
I was surprised to learn that the queen wore the same spaceballs hat in real life
Wales has it's own royal family, the House of Aberffraw. The Head of this family is Evan Anwyl of Tywyn. He lives in Gwynedd, North Wales. He is descended in the male line from Rhodri II, Prince of Gwynedd.
@Rhys Hoffman The Tudors (Tudurs) were from Penmynydd, near menai bridge.
@@tonyjones9442 the king henry 7th was born in pembroke castle.
Also Gwynedd is not Wales. Wales has only ever been united as part of England
its*
It's a huge part of Cymru so how can you say it isn't?
They did spectacularly with the Wilson casting.
TH-cam's algorithm is starting to get scary. I went on today to find a video of Prince Charles's investiture. So what key words did I use? "P" That's as far as I got. This video was at the top of the list from just typing in the letter "P" as in "Prince Charles."
I have often wondered about that funny hat ...
The crown brought me here, im curious if the conversation between the queen and prince really took place after he came back from Wales.
I just watched this chapter of the series the "Crown" and I loved it that chapter
Thank you Charles, Prince of Wales for keeping your Welsh people safe since 1969
@@JonaElisOwen98 sorry Jona, just taking the pee. I'm not even a royalist and would gladly dump the lot of them tomorrow if I could.
and for protecting the wales.
Didn't keep his wife safe though
@@melgrant7404 He wasn't his wife by that point
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 I meant later of course
He did an excellent job by adding those paragraphs.
Me too! Do u guys think he really caught shit from the queen for writing outside of the script/speech?
cwmiller2006 she got so pissed she decided to live forever and deny him the crown 😂
I couldn't watch the whole thing. Heard Prince Charles was speaking Welsh at some point after accepting the title, may I get the timestamp?
Charles speaks Welsh at 1.26.15 😀👍
Amazing clearness in this video
watched this last night on netflix, very surreal, he put up with quit a lot most dont realize, I certainly didn't until watching the Crown series,
The crown is really giving a lot of insight into history
Nice to see a cameo by Sir Rodin Cutler, former Governor of New South Wales. He visited our school once; he looked extremely vice-regal, but I remember him being very warm and friendly to us kids, he seemed to enjoy having a chat. A very nice man.
The queen's hat.... Whoever designed that monstrousity?
to counter the many negative reviews. In fact I found that Olivia Colman gave an above average, fine acting performance. In fact she appears to me exactly as I expect the queen to be. The authoritative, a bit cold person, determined to fulfill the "job" with dignity. So Colman suits the role very well. I don't get it how people expect a somewhat updated Foy as good-looking, lovely everybodys darling here, that would be miscast!
Season 3 has less (artificial?) drama than season 1+2, I felt it a bit overdrawn there sometimes, has less thrill and is therefore indeed adequate, as the queens life surely is/was not an extraordinary adventure, but over long stretches an unglamorous tribute to duty. I do agree that season 3 lost a bit of pace due that Winston has gone now, the entertaining level may have lowered, but so what? Pepping up the script with artificial drama IMO would ruin this excellent serie.
1 out of 4 found this helpful
Agree it is hideous
It looks like a helmet.. like honestly all that money and that’s the best they could do? And princess Ann’s hat was almost as bad.. like what’s up with the fluffy frills?
I love the Queens hat. Bold. Cool
@@TRUECRISTIANJESUS Agree! I prefer season 3 over season 2 because it had less artifical drama and sensationalism. It was more mature as it was supppsed to.
the queen smiles so beautifully 1:33:25
princess diana is literally celebrating her 8th birthday during this lmaoo
The reason they took so long to have his formal investiture, is simply because the Queen wanted him to be old enough to understand the significance of what he was taking on and to behave himself on such a solemn occasion.
I was all of 5 years old when this event took place. My biggest concerns at the time were cartoons and my toys😊
We’ll see more of this in season 3 of The Crown!
De verdad se puso ese sombrero amarillo. No pensé que fuera real, parecía Pocoyo.
Wuajajaja
Lmaoooo
Kkkk tbm vim vê se era real
We are still here
for me personally it is very remarkable that the queen's face shows no emotion while she performs the ceremony. No smile on her lips... no emotion
i mi’n bersonol mae’n hynod iawn nad yw wyneb y frenhines yn dangos unrhyw emosiwn wrth iddi berfformio’r seremoni. Dim gwên ar ei gwefusau... dim emosiwn
Ye welais i hwnna
