- Prince Charles Investiture - July 1st 1969. Edited BBC Coverage of the event which was held in Caernarfon, North Wales.
Presented by Richard Baker, Cliff Michelmore & Emlyn Williams.
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.
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.
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
"no one wants to hear your voice"
I mean all of us have parent issues...
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
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.
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!
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 🤣🏴
My sister once spent all day as an extra for a TV show. She appeared for all of two seconds. It really does take forever to make programmes.
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 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.
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.
Did you see Princess Margaret when Charles added his own bit at the end of the speech? Lol!
That really impressive what he did in. His 20

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 wonder what wonder the view count was before The Crown season 3.
The man has achieved an unprecedented record for the longest time waiting to ascend to the throne.
Actual Welsh speech starts 1:26:17 yall are welcome ❤🏴
De verdad se puso ese sombrero amarillo. No pensé que fuera real, parecía Pocoyo.
Wuajajaja
Lmaoooo
Kkkk tbm vim vê se era real
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
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
Too much talk about ‘The Crown’ is a TV series for heavens sake
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.
princess diana is literally celebrating her 8th birthday during this lmaoo
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 have often wondered about that funny hat ...
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.
Doubt if they will ever be another ceremony like this. ^Welsh people wouldn't put up with it
I remember watching this from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was 8. I’m now typing this on the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
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."
Will William become Prince of Wales when Charles becomes king?
Ryan yes right after his father ascend the throne
@@mariaretinasarmiento1050 Incorrect. Becoming the Prince Of Wales is at the discretion of the monarch and not automatic. Personally, I do not feel we need another English person to take this role. It is an insult.
@@andrewjones-productions that's the point. Wales is part of the Kingdom of England, so by making heir to the throne as Prince of Wales, it shows the submission of Wales to the authority of the crown of the Kingdom of England. This is also a reason why Wales is not represented in the Union Jack.
Iqbal Bhayangkara Wales was a principality. It became a kingdom of Great Britain in the early 1700s.
It is now (and rightfully so) classed as its own country.
I understand why people are annoyed that he is the prince of Wales but the royal family aren’t as important as they once where 🤷🏻♀️
@@iqbalbhayangkara3816 There's no such thing as the Kingdom of England. The country of England is a part of the United Kingdom.
God, how much did this cost the poor taxpayers? #parasites
Wow artificial intelligence at it best.... I saw this in the crown and now this original clip pops up in my suggested watching.....
Same here. That's interesting right ? And scary of course
Same
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.
Not here cos of the Crown. Anyone here out of random curiosity?
1:20:10 The Queen whispered “Here, just give it to him”
I was all of 5 years old when this event took place. My biggest concerns at the time were cartoons and my toys😊
so sick, one family owns all country.
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.
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 😀👍
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,
Princess Diana 8 th. Birthday.
After the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, it would be important for the British nation if the new monarch would enthrone William as Prince of Gall as Queen Elizabeth II did for him. God Save the Prince of Wales and the King.
I don’t think William wants an investiture.
Absolutely butchered the welsh language. Embarrassing.
This is so cool! I had no idea they had a ceremonies like this. Definitely special about the UK.
I am amazed at how much Prince Chqrles has changed.
He wanted to keep tradition, now he wants to change some.
The anti monarchy people are crazy for wanting to get rid of this rich culture.
Well, that's because a ceremony like this only occurs once in ones lifetime as a general rule. And speaking of change and anti monarchy, that is precisely why this ceremony was held and WHEN it was held. The monarchy was losing its grip by both the hippie culture of the 1960's and the uprising of the people in Wales against the British government and monarchy.
@Mariel Ang wouldn't have any other type
@@NoFaithNoPain So you support slavery then; a major part of colonialism
@Mariel Ang british and by that extension , English monarchy predates Colonialism
Welsh sounds like klingon
@Cymro 65 JRR Tolkien loved the Welsh language
@Cymro 65 A fina fyd ❤️🏴
I was surprised to learn that the queen wore the same spaceballs hat in real life
I remember this day. I was 17 and across the other side of the world.
My English mom has the commemorative coffee (tea?) cups from this day.
Commemorative tea cups? How tacky! Surely you jest!
My grandmother died and we found a 1977 Silver Jubilee commemorative bottle opener in one of her kitchen drawers.
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)
1:17:03 The look Prince Charles gives The Queen without knowing how long he has to wait in order to become the next King lol.
I see no reason that Queen Elizabeth won't live to 110. She is beyond time.
I like Wales it’s pretty
He's a far better speaker then the crown suggests.
IN 1969 THE NEIL AMSTRONG IS ON MOON.. ONE STEP FOR MAN ONE STEP FOR HUMANITY.
I now proclaim thee DR. Charles! Please consider donating to the university. We will call you every month to ask if you'd like to make a donation.
Who's here NOT from the crown?
Any takers? Or am I the single person who just likes history?
Me as well
@@arwabagerlmhc2589 yay! High five 🙌
I am 3 years late but I am also here because I like history 🤝
1:27:11 Prince Charles says the word "awyrgylch" (atmosphere in Welsh)
U welsh too?
@@ffionjones271 no, but I admire the language
The audacity to hold the investiture in the same castle the English betrayed the true Prince of Wales ....
Down with the monarchy
++
Woow, it looks like the old fairy tales .... it reminded me those tales I've been told when I was a kid. From Latinoamérica. 🇲🇽
Where is latino America is that a country?
@@TheBasher-_- we're a big comunity divided into many "countries" .... Latinoamérica se siente como una sóla nación. Although personally say, I didn't want to mention my real country: Colombia🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴 la tierra del mejor café a nivel mundial y la cumbia!!!!
Long live Colombia!!!!!
One big community? Interesting. I wouldn't say everyone feels like that. I'm proud of my country. Don't know the other countries so can't speak much from then, but having met people from different Latin American countries in the US I would say each country has its own culture, traditions, food, etc. While we do share stuff like language, religion, and colonial history, each country is unique.
@@cristina7543 .... absolutely true. Although, observe us, we're a big comunity
@@jonnyvega9918 all I want to say, to me it doesn't feel like "one nation". I'm proud of my country, it's culture, particular dialect and history. When I lived in Peru I only saw myself as peruvian. Here in the USA they like to group people from Latin America as one thing but it isn't like that, because we are all different. In fact I don't even like being called hispanic or sPaNiSh (just because I speak the language) I feel it overlooks my actual nationality and unique culture I have as a Peruvian. At least that's how I feel. Kudos to you for having the feeling we are "una sola nación".
Omg he was on his knees for so long that might be painful. Sadly he did that strongly with straight face.
So he didn't read his speech only in Welsh and his mother didn't have to find out later what he said. They both looked perfectly happy with the speech and I'm sure that fictional bit of overwrought confrontation later at home never happened.
Oh yes, you can really see that Queen smile throughout the entire happy occasion, can't you?
The Queen doesn’t clap her hands at the end of the speech. Princess Margaret enthusiastically applauds.
How correct prince Charles was.
A very uncertain future indeed.
The crown is really giving a lot of insight into history
This is 12 years before I was born. Those kids will be middle aged now
💩😈💀🥶👹🥵🥺😣😱🤥🤬🤢😖🥱🤮🤒🥴🤕🤑😣🤑😱🤑😈🤑💩🤑💀🤑💀🥱🤑🤒🤬🥴🤢🤕😣🤬🤢🤮💀🤑🤬😈💩🤬🤢🤮😱🥱🤮
Who is here because they like watching paint dry?
I’m waiting for me cake to cool 😎
1:28:50 Princess Margaret in pink looking confused?
Always so interesting that the most ardent monarchists seem to be Americans who would never countenance a king in Washington.
He looks at his mother when she touches him, like she never did that, and probably never did....
And now we have 2019... and he is still prince... ;-)
AcAnt71 that’s because after this, she got so pissed she decided to live forever 😂
Update: 2021, same.
what's the problem there? his mother still alive then
Not anymore...
Tha k to this episode I'm more of a Scottish nationalist than I was before 🏴💙🇪🇺🥰
It's literally your monarchy, the Stuart line took the English throne and unified the Crowns.
No Andrew or Edward at this event. Andrew would have been at school.
And Edward would have only been about 4 at the time.
Prince Charles is the first Prince of Wales with Welsh blood through the Queen Mother.
The Tudors were of Welsh origin, so plenty of them have carried Welsh blood.
Star Trek brought me here
Lmao😁😂👏
The crown brought me here, im curious if the conversation between the queen and prince really took place after he came back from Wales.
It’s such a weird coincidence that diana, the then still future princess of Wales, celebrated her 8th birthday on that day
And a tiny bit creepy.
remember that all those shiny stuff on his crown ans sword are all actual gold and not fake.
The last Prince of Wales died in 1282!
The Prince of Wales is still living. Do you consider yourself Welsh or British?
@@JulianDSmith Welsh and Welsh only.
@@JulianDSmith Cymraeg boiii
So true. But some uppity ambitious Anglo Saxon married one of the daughters of last Prince of Wales. Both Elizabeth II and Prince Philip descend from this Welsh Princess. All in The Family! Yuck!
Nonsense. Thanks to Henry Tudor, Prince Charles has Welsh blood, no matter how much you hate that fact.
Anybody gain more compassion for prince Charles after this episode of the crown....?
Me.
raise ur hand if ur not here because of the crown lol
1:04:53
Was "God save The Queen" not sung, or was it cut from this very video? Thanks.
1:19:30 nani
That young lady that was against the Charles' investiture showed real class. When idiots here in the states are against something like this they go out destroy property and act like assholes.
Roedd ei araith yn iawn ymlaen. Rhyfeddol.
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.
The Crown me trouxe aqui.quem mais???🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
His pronunciation is actually a lot better than the actor from The Crown.
Yes but he was speaking more robotic
We’ll see more of this in season 3 of The Crown!
And now, 53 years later he became the King of the United Kingdom! 👑
Indeed
God save the king 👑
the queen smiles so beautifully 1:33:25
Didn't they have to replace the regalia? I thought that the former Edward VIII took that with him when he left England after the abdication.
Katheryne Koelker yes, they had to create another one, as well as the coronet.
The ball on top of the princes crown was actually a spray painted golf ball.
Shesasupergeek 🤣😂
Actually, I think it was a ping pong ball, for it's light weight.
@@justme_66 you’re right! 👍
So there may not be another prince of wales investiture. hmm. Might as well cancel the title like the welsh want them to and call it crown prince and princess already. Let them have a fit over that too.. can't please all.
I shall......
Speak to my roses
Deliver into my marriage, my concubine
Should I assume the monarchy before 12.12.2019 I will oppose BREXIT
Notwithstanding any pontification for the promotion of global warming, I shall indeed keep and protect my petrol guzzling Aston Martin Db3, despite my son running it with the parking break engaged
Not be perplexed that my younger son is 'woke'.
God Save The Queen, long may she rule long past her 110th Birthday.
Queen Elizabeth surely knew how to put on a royal display of pageantry and adhere to traditions. This new generation, irk. smh.
This ceremony and the date will forever be stuck in my mind because I was home that day, sicker than ten dogs, this ceremony was on TV and I kept hallucinating about it that night, seeing it over and over and over again. Yup. 7-1-69 was a very bad day, Charles and Liz sharing the misery with me.
😂
All those things the Queen placed on Prince Charles are the Sword, the Ring, the Coronet (similar to a crown), the Rod and that Drape I don't know what's that called but let me know, these all symbolize what Prince Charles will be when he earns the title Prince of Wales.
I just watched this chapter of the series the "Crown" and I loved it that chapter
@49:19 When the first real power rangers were created 😂
My god he had to sit in that position through not one but two speeches 😭
