- On 12 February 2002, Queen Elizabeth II visited Booth House in Whitechapel, the headquarters of homelessness charity the Salvation Army. Wearing clothes of mourning, the Queen made her visit only four days after the death of her sister, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. While the monarch focused her conversations on the work of Booth House and the experiences of those living there, the Queen was asked by one member of the public how she was coping with the loss of her sibling.

The country was strengthened by her presence and diminished by her loss.
@@liamb8644 and mine, I’m ‘bedridden’ though I hate that phrase, I’m on my own a lot so often leave the news on the tv just for background noise, whenever ‘The Queen’ is mentioned I automatically look up, only to be disappointed yet again. I have a full size cardboard cut out of Queen Elizabeth next to the tv though so not all bad!
RUBBISH
Why are people ridiculous fawning over another human being who takes the piss on state benefits.
The world was better just knowing she was there. It's felt off since the day she left for her eternal home.
Diminished? How so?
I love how she looked every person square in the eye, knowing they’ve most likely waited their entire life for that brief moment. She was very gracious.
Lol. Are you for real. She peed and craped like everyone else 🙄
That’s why people liked talking to the Queen. She never looked over your shoulder in case someone more important was there because nobody in the room was more important than her.
@Diggles67 she was no better or no worse than anyone else. THE only reason that she was "royal " was that her ancestors murdered raped plundered robbed to get the throne and power. Sometimes killing close family members, brothers sisters nephews nieces . So nothing special there
I noticed that right away.
@@mermaidgirl9232 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆.. another one bites the dust. Falls for the sycophantic royalist bs and garbage. More spin
I always feel a pang of sadness now she's gone...somehow the world felt like a better place knowing she was here....
Yes, I do too... I know how you feel.
It felt like all was right in the world. She was sanity and a point of reference. It all does not feel right in the world after her passing. The two rainbows. Balmoral and Buckingham Palace. Rain stopped clouds parted and those two rainbows. A bow to her Royal Highness Our Majesty the Queen. She was such a blessing. She can rest and she did reign til her last dying breath. As she said. She is watching. I can't wait to go home too. ❤
Get a tear in my eyes . Can’t help it .
My feelings too 😢
I STILL FEEL AN EMPTY PLACE IN MY HEART KNOWING QUEEN ELIZABETH II HAS PASSED ON TO HEAVEN! SHE WASN'T FEELING WELL AND I WOULD NOT WANT HER TO STAY HERE ON EARTH IN PAIN! I AM A CITIZEN OF THE USA BUT I'VE KNOWN THE QUEEN ALL MY LIFE AND SHE WAS ALWAYS FULL OF GRACE AND HONOR! IN MY MIND SHE WOULD NEVER LEAVE US. BUT. IN HER LAST YEARS SHE WAS HARASSED AND TRICKED BY PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN! TO THINK HER VERY OWN GRANDSON WOULD STOOP SO LOW TO HARASSING HIS BELOVED GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER! HARRY MUST BE SICK LIKE MEGHAN!
A remarkable lady whose service and dedication to duty will never be seen again in our lifetime
our King has that dedication to duty, Anne does, our Queen Mother etc
and William has dedicated his life to duty and service
Along with Princess Diana dedication and remarkable service
@@lsmith9249 correct forgetting Princess Diana no one eclipsed
@@lsmith9249we don’t have a Queen Mother
Whenever the Queen is mentioned now I still think of THE Queen. I can’t get to grips with calling Camilla Queen
I'll genuinely miss Queen Elizabeth.
When?! Most of us have been missing her since the second her death was announced!
you will. don;t you yet then?
She would have been emotional of course after her sisters death but she also seemed genuinely moved that a member of the public had taken the time or ask her if she was okay. I wonder if she had many people ask her if she was okay as being Queen she was expected to be the leader / Matriarch of the family, the monarchy and the nation. Being Monarch must be difficult and lonely at times but she did it well.
"Uneasy lies a head that wears a crown."
@@szabados1980 that’s Shakespeare, Henry the 4th if I remember correctly.
Imagine some of the toxic, crooked vermin we would have had leading us if the head of state was an elected position. However much she cost, she saved us a fortune!!
Thank you, Ma'am! Rest you well! ❤
Not just that - protocol instructs anyone who meets the monarch not to ask a question!
thats her job..the man was genuine....
Well done that man for asking how she was doing and HM the Queen really looked into his eyes, that showed how much she really appreciated him asking. A truly remarkable Lady, who always put duty above everything else.
Yes i love your comment and agree. Her Majesty was real I mean as real as you can get. Her passion to serve and show compassion when needed and really go out there and get a sense of what it's like to live In the British public. Seeing things at the salvation army made her see and understand that a community doesnt give up it gets thru the struggle together.She was one of a kind but a true gem for the monarchy when it comes to standards and respect.
@@thegreengrimoiretarot4104 Compassion, you forget Diana.
@@melclo3641Diana was not a saint and only did a tiny fraction of what Her Majesty did on the world stage. This isn't about Diana.
Our late Queen Elizabeth, wasn’t she just the best?? We won’t see her like again. RIP your majesty and thank you for your service.❤
She found it quite touching when the man asked if she was ok ...her eyes watered...
That smile of hers was unique and iconic. I miss that 😢
Me too. NZ 50's child. I managed to see her 3 times here.😊 seeing her smile on videos is still heartwarming.
Several views where her hat brim hides her eyes but you can still see her wonderful smile,❤
And the sparkle in her eyes totally infectious R.I.P. Ma’am GBNF 💔🌹
And she really looked into his eyes when he asked the question.
Not her usual glance.
At that moment he got close to the Queen - it surely was a unique experience - for both of them.
He may not even have cared that much beyond being human. These ppl were homeless and had their own pressing problems.
@@misst.e.a.187I am sorry but people genuinely loved her. You cannot possibly speak for him. He had compassion in his voice.
Hi I agree with you he was sincere being homeless had nothing to do with it he clearly is a very good person ❤@@christinewhitfeld7939
@@misst.e.a.187 What an extraordinary thing to say, that homeless people do not care about others.
@@ABC_DEF I think that misst.e.a.187 is saying that the fact that she was Queen was not his focus, but that she was a woman in mourning and he had empathy for her as a person, not particularly excitement that he was in the presence of the Queen. That is what I'm getting anyway.
She was the best. There will never be another like her.
Wasn’t that just so lovely of the gentleman to enquire on how the Queen was. What a beautiful man he is. So thoughtful and daresay she thought so too. ❤❤😢
I wonder if he had been a soldier. He had the bearing of a soldier. And possibly had experienced some trauma. I salute him.
❤
😢She looked close to tears in that first clip.
She had lost both her mother and her sister the same year or so. 😢 And the man expresses so much compassion and kindness towards her, it’s very moving.
@@CarolineSaysStuff within a couple of months
@@CarolineSaysStuff At that point, her mother had gone yet. Margaret went first
@@misst.e.a.187 yes, you are right; I saw the date of this footage later. 😉 But I’m guessing she knew her mum might not recover from this grief and would soon follow her sister to the grave. 🙁
She did I dont imagine too many people asked if she was okay they just assumed she was.
She had such a warm and totally genuine smile. There never was at anytime a hint of being bored, tired and uninterested. A truly lovely, remarkable lady, always gracious and always sincere.
Amen to that ❤
The lady was class and not because she was Queen .She had integrity and empathy .Power is not a coat many people can wear .
I think you may mean ‘can wear?!’
The Queen RIP
had no power at all politically or nationally.
I guess you may be confusing power with influence.
Rather poignant what you just said...
Give Meghan a chance. She has poise and she has grace.
@@BillBiggs1😂😂😂😂😂 Right you are, then....
Aww god love her 😢you could see she tried her absolute best to stop the tears from falling down her face. For a few seconds we saw Elizabeth Windsor not Queen Elizabeth. And see how she swiftly changed the subject ? What a woman she was I miss her so much ❤
Actually it's Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg andGotha. Her grandfather dropped the real family surname and copped the name from Windsor Castle.
@@piustwelfthElizabeth was never called Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, they dropped that name before she was even born, she has always been Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, after her Marriage she added Mountbatten to her Windsor instead of Changing it completely to Mountbatten.
Anyway I don’t think that had anything to do with the original posters comment tho.
@@lolalouise9503 The surname of QEII's father was Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Yes, the last name had been changed a few years before she was born, but nevertheless, it was the family name until it was dropped for political reasons in favor of the more English sounding Windsor. Even Mountbatten was changed from the German Battenberg so both her surnames were invented.
QEII was not only a great monarch and leader, more importantly, she was an amazing human being.
Yes, Her Majesty sure was.
"Are you OK Ma'am?" What a lovely soul😊
Our wonderful, unique, timeless and gracious Queen!
I just loved her. She was a class act. I’m not British but American but have much respect for her Majesty! 💗
Me also
Me too. ❤
Her warmth was overwhelming! She was the best of Britain. Rest in peace, Ma'am. 🙏❤️🌹
It's fascinating to see the Queen at work, even while still in mourning for her sister. She has certainly mastered the art of "small talk" and saying just the right thing to make a stranger feel at ease. I am sure every person that met her never forgot the experience. I''m afraid we will never see her like again.
A very remarkable woman - we were lucky to have her for so long
She was such a strong woman I miss her dearly 😢😢😢 I hope she’s with her sister
Her sister Margaret was a reckless, self-centred hedonist. I liked HM Queen Elizabeth ll and sincerely hope for her sake she has been reunited in death with those who treated her rather better than her wayward sister did!
...and her: husband, father, mother, grandmother, pets...💐
@@mchow2984 ... yes, everyone.
This is truly beautiful. So very touching. I loved the way she looked at the residents of Booth House in the eyes when she talked with them and just a few days after her sister's death.
As an American who does not understand everything with the monarchy I can say this with deep conviction; Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is a remarkable individual, a magnificent Queen who served her country for decades and dedicated herself to service. With only one blimp on her radar she earned my eternal respect. I will remember her and talk of her with respect and admiration. Life goes by way too fast. The fact that she is gone is almost impossible to emotionally believe. How nice it would have been to speak with her in conversation about life.
What ‘blimp’ would that be?
@@j.ksmith7432HRH Princess Diana.
Being Native American, I know na-da about British monarchy myself. I just watch with curiosity. Is she like our President of the United States here? 🤷🤔
@@spookygirl7761google is your friend
@@spookygirl7761 No.
The Queen had an inexhaustible capacity to never look bored. I admired her for that.
She was a wonderful woman, a great Queen and Commonwealth leader, and a dignified, gracious example of an exemplary life of service. Beautiful to see this, thanks.
I miss The Queen.
I miss our beloved Queen.
May she rest in peace 🙏
I still miss her terribly.
What a woman 🌹
She was beautiful
Me too. Always will. God rest her soul.
God rest her soul!
I'm an American and i miss her very much! 😢❤ Thank god we had the TV and you tube to watch this amazing woman rule with love and dignity!
And sadly things would get worse for HM Queen Elizabeth, with the imminent death on 30th March 2002 of her beloved mother HM Elizabeth the Queen Mother. What a double blow to lose her only sibling and her mother within just 6 weeks of each other.
Even though I'm an American, I miss her so much. She was there before I was born and she has always been an example of grace and duty to me. I wish more people were like her, God bless her soul.
I'm an American and I tear up watching this. 😢 There will never ever be a lady as loving and wonderful as Queen Elizabeth. I miss her and I never even met her.😢😢😢
same. I'm from atlanta
God blessed the world with the Queen.
I'm an American and I really admired Queen Elizabeth II.
SHE REPRESENTED AN OLD CULT - LIKE INSTITUTION WITH A VERY EVIL HISTORY.
A Cult of Personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods to create an idealized, and at times, a 'god-like' and a 'goddess-like' public image, through Unquestioning Flattery and Praise.
( Deceased Elizabeth II, Charles, William, Anne, Camilla, Kate and the remaining representatives )
The old English monarchy is a CULT - LIKE institution with a very bad history.
What is a CULT-?
The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader.
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged.
The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act and feel.
The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader and members.
The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
The leader is extremely protected and does not give interviews.
The leader is not held accountable to any authority.
Unquestioning adulation is expected from the followers.
Characteristics of a CULT.
The Leadership Dictates, Sometimes In Great Detail, How Members Should Think, Talk, Act and Feel.
Examples:-
When Elizabeth was alive the following rules had to be obeyed.
When she enters the room, everyone must stand.
When the queen stands, you must stand.
By age five, children are expected to bow or curtsy to the monarch.
Bow or curtsy as she approaches.
Only shake her hand if she shakes your hand first.
Do not wear sunglasses outdoors if you are near her.
Never address her by her first name.
Only address her as your so-called majesty.
Never initiate a conversation with her.
She always takes the lead.
She always walks ahead of everyone else.
Her 'husband' always had to walk two paces behind her.
Never walk in front of her.
You wait for her, she never waits for you.
Never turn your back on her.
Never leave an event before her.
Selfies are forbidden. Never start eating before her.
The wearing of fur is not allowed.
Never continue eating after she has finished.
Keep the conversation 'light'.
No personal questions about herself.
Females must never sit with their legs crossed at the knee.
When the royal family is part of a procession, they must enter and be seated in the order of precedence, which is essentially the order of who’s next in line to the so-called throne.
The so-called royals aren’t allowed to give out autographs.
Mrs Windsor was required to use her purse to send subtle social signals.
When she placed her purse on the table at dinner, it meant it was time to wrap things up-so consider the bite you lifted must be your last.
She was required to spend her time speaking to the person on her right for the first course, and then engage in conversation with the guest on her left for the second.
The so-called English royals are not allowed to give autographs.
Parliamentarians are not allowed to discuss the monarchy.
The old English monarchy has a bad history and the following words would apply to it.
Anachronistic, Racist, Incest, Adultery, Immorality, Tyranny, Brutality, Genocide, Slavery, Theft,
Dysfunctional, Aloof, Extremely Secretive, Irrelevant, Suffocating Formality, Abnormal and a Prison - Like Lifestyle.
Edward's and Simpson's allegiance to Hitler. Andrew / Epstein and Charles / Jimmy Savile.
Diana's arranged / forced marriage to Charles and his horrible treatment of her.
Philip and his affairs. Anne divorced. Randy divorced . Charles divorced. Camilla divorced.
There is not much family stability with these people and they are a poor representation of a cohesive family.
The obsessed monarchy cult followers say that the monarchy provides stability but they dont explain how it does that with regards to this family.
Henry VIII divorced two of his wives and the other one was BEHEADED-!
Charles II executed-!
Hanged, Drawn and Quartered.
The "drawing" part actually comes first and it involves the convict being tied to a type of sled that's "drawn" or dragged behind a horse all the way from the prison to the gallows. Then he was hung by a rope tied from the gallows and around his neck. After a few terrifying minutes of near-asphyxiation, the rope was cut and the man fell down. Then his penis and testicles were cut off, his bowels were pulled out, his heart was cut out and all were burned before him in a fire. Next, his abdomen was slit open from groin to sternum. His head was severed from his body and his body cut into four quarters to be disposed of at the king's pleasure. The body parts were then taken on a publicity tour and distributed to the surrounding towns as a warning to those who would challenge the authority of the king. One of the main reasons for doing all of this was to demonstrate the absolute power of the monarchy.
Burning at the Stake was another awful way to be killed.
Britain has a monarchical kind of government and it had five Prime Ministers in a short period of six years.
Northern Ireland was without a functioning government for a period of two years.
The monarchy representatives and THE OBSESSED FOLLOWERS claim that the monarchy provides stability for a government but they do not explain how it achieves the so-called stability.
The so-called monarchy cult representatives, ( Charles etc ) are supposed to be apolitical and have no power and most certainly do not keep politicians in check.
That is done by the voters. So in reality, the citizens have more power than the monarchy cult representatives.
If you think otherwise, then when was the last time royal assent was denied-?
The founding fathers of our beautiful country of America REJECTED the old cult-like English monarchy with its very evil history
and ALL of us Americans need to REJECT IT AS WELL.
PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THIS OLD CULT.
Her majesty QUEEN 👑 ELIZABETH II never looked more beautiful 🌹 forever in our hearts ❤️ Cheers Stephen
She was such an inspiration ! She lived across the pond, yet she was my queen in spirit! She was loved all across the world !
Such a strong and stalwart person. Her sense of duty is an inspiration. I miss her 💔
The most remarkable head of state ever! Isn’t the late Queen gorgeous ❤ these are all her people and she cares deeply.
Yes, I agree 100%, but let's not forget Olof Palme, Nelson Mandela, Francois Mitterrand and Fidel Castro.
Bless her, she is close to tears here.
The British Queen beloved by many of her people, respected by most of the people across the globe 🌍🌎🌏 Much respect ma’am
There it was again, the unforgetable sparkle in her eyes.
What a great lady was our late splendid Queen - RIP Ma'am 🌹
I’m American and I miss the queen, such a lovely dedicated woman. I miss that smile ❤
So dedicated to serving her people that she's out putting on a smiling face 4 days after her only sister's death. Remarkable. No one would have faulted her for canceling but there she was. It makes me cry now thinking of she must have felt.
How can you not love this fine lady!
I remember during covid19 crises I was so worried all the time about what will happen to my young family then she spoke to us through tv it really came me down I automatically relaxed here in Canada we miss her so much
He ask are u ok on that way that makes us really think if we r really ok😢😢 this made me cry
Not only a Queen - a great and gracious lady.
Her eyes glistened with tears. I'll never forget the Double rainbow at her funeral. I'd never seen one before or since.
She was pure GOLD! Loved her till the day she left. I am Canadian. We were brought up to have respect and love for the royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II will continue to be mourned by millions of people across the world - she was loved and respected by so many. 🙏🏻👑😢
The United Queendom was proud to share her with the rest of the world and proud of her at home. . Sadly missed.
Beautiful to see her smile and hear her laugh. She was a lind soul
Royalty and Grace personified! Love from the USA 🇺🇸. Thank you for sharing Her Majesty the Queen with us our UK 🇬🇧 cousins!!❤
The Queen is lovely in this
I really miss her 😢
Her Majesty was the most lovely person. I am an American and never met her -but I miss her presence in the world. 😢❤
Imagine the pressure of following her reign and trying to keep the British Monarchy and royal family popular and relevant in the 21st century.
I’ve never been a Royalist but had so much respect for our Queen. I still feel sad when I think about her not being here. A true legend. Rest in peace Ma’am. ❤
THE most gracious, loving,caring,and giving lady. Her Majesty took her station in life from the very start. She did not want to be queen but the choice was not hers (as she saw it) because this is the position that she was raised to fulfill. It just came much sooner in life than she wanted. I have always loved my Queen and was and still proud to be a part of the Commonwealth. You did your job so very well so now you can rest easy your Highness .👼👼👼👼
This is an example why she didn’t favor Megan. She understood duty before self and that others are not to be made to feel poorly, no matter the circumstances because the British people are the life blood of the monarchy and must be treated with respect in kind for their support. This graciousness is what she taught Diana, Sophie and Kate, who were all model students but Megan sadly, never caught on that to serve is an honor and that the door swings both ways!!!
she didnt teach anyone..please.why are you picking on meghan..Lady Diana will always remembered for who she is the queen did not teach her..she taught the queen and many others......
I love how the crowd outside aren't screaming and thrashing about. It's just respect and admiration for her. Not fanatical carrying on.
Britain is so very lucky to have had her steadfast dedication for decades, inspiring the world.
I loved her smile…so real and genuine.
She seemed to be very down to earth & approachable here!
Such a beautiful smile😂.... so very missed...
She looked so young and radiant in 2002 so full of smiles, she was so interested in what the chap was saying at 10.20 , its hard to comprehend how she could decline so much in the next ten years, so sad with what she had to deal with , especially the loss of Philip and Andrews and Harrys rubbish.. the country and commonwealth is a poorer place without her majesty, god bless you mam RIP you so deserve it
I found this so revealing of her innate charm. Such an example to us all. We miss her so much 🇿🇦❤️💐
What a very kind and decent man.
She (the queen) is just so sharp in her conversational words❤
It's so heart-warming to see such footage of Her Late Majesty. Nobody told her or made her make these visits, she went our of her own will. Because she cared for her subjects. To meet them, hear from them, encourage them. RIP
Queen Elizabeth was & is an absolute remarkable lady.
I miss you so much, & can’t get enough of watching anything about her.❤
‘is?!’
Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth was a rare & unique lady. She was egoless. She was all about being of & in service to the Commonwealth. She was dedicated, sincere & a brilliant star that was in this realm to show others it CAN be done. 😊❤️ Enjoy your rest Ma’am.
Bless that man who asked the Queen "Are you ok..?"
❤💔
“Are you okay ma’am?” What a lovely heart that man has! And the sincere tears in Her Majesty’s eyes shows a beautiful soul. ❤
I shall always miss her. A most wonderful and genuine human being. 😢
THE QUEEN
I love and will miss the Queen. She was an inspiration and dedicated to duty for life.
Are you not missing her already?
The Queen is still well loved❤ miss you alot dear Queen💖
She was a blessing to the entire world. There could never be another like Elizabeth II. RIP your Majesty we all miss you.
Sensational woman.
You save my life, you give hope. You was the only person in this planet that gave me the benefits of the doubt. Forever in my heart, you ma'am, you will be forever in my heart. Benedicta tu in mulieribus.
We are a bit lost without our late Queen Elizabeth. Always gracious.
I was so emotional when she died, bless her. She is the one constant in my life that was always there. RIP
I admire these folks who are so calm and collected meeting the queen. I’d be tongue-tied and likely wetting myself!
I miss our wonderful Queen!
So lovely to see these clips from the past she is sadly missed 😢
Our Queen Was Amazing.
She was a gracious lovely and beautiful Queen.
She was a wonderful Queen. Rest in peace your majesty 💜
So lovely to see the Queen of our times. She looks lovely; she has kind eyes.💗💗
I love how protocol dictates that we should never ask The Queen questions, she does the talking, never ask personal questions etc but the moment a member of the public engages with her sincerely and kindly on any level, as this gentleman did, and she responds easily and gratefully for his concern. What a lady she was.
If you strip all the pomp and circumstance away, it was simply a human moment between two people where one showed kindness to another who was going through a difficult time. It showed the monarch (and Royal Family in general) are people too.
Always duty,always country first. Still very much missed ❤
I get a lot of comfort knowing she is with God in heaven resting in perfect peace and in such beautiful heaven. Bless you ma’am thank you ❤️❤️🌹
She will be busy there as a retired Queen , it's fortunate to know that she is with her daughters and the Queen Mother and staff of Royal Lodge .
Absolutely an entire lifetime of service and duty to the monarchy this country and the commonwealth , loved and respected worldwide , irreplaceable, wonderful , unmatched in every way, never forgotten along with prince Philip thank you for all you did for us 👑❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😘😘😘😘
What an amazing interaction between this kind man and our late much loved Queen.
