The Royal Family was blessed to have such a loving & loyal servant.
loving and loyal, thats a laugh, he tried trademarking "The Royal Butler" and even
lied and said he'd been given the right to trademark it and got a shock when our late Queen took legal action against him and she won
he was denied the trademark
he's not loyal to our royal family
the loyal ex staff are the ones who don't talk about them
Grant Harrold makes money out of them
So refreshing to hear a Butler of the Royals to speak so kindly of them and not pass out dirt ...Great job 💯
I totally 👍 agree.
Its so wonderful that The Queen has kept so many of the traditions going, she's been marvelous as a Queen..no other person could have done all She has done..its so sweet that youve been so passionate about the Royal Family from being a young Lad. You were meant to do all these things, right place at the right time 🤗
Traditions are meant to evolve
@@joyrees7966 traditions are traditions...so what. The Royal Family have evolved, via Prince Phillip and the Queen herself..your stating this as an accusation...theres nothing wrong with the Traditions that they uphold..if they hadnt evolved it would be like living under Henry the 8th...get over it..
WOW! You have a GREAT life and wonderful memories. Hearing your stories is heart warming. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏻
The picture of you wearing kilts is simply wonderful. It must be one of great treasures.
Beautiful, charming, eloquent, and exciting! What a fantastic conversation with our Royal Butler! Thank you for so much loveliness insight, and inspiration!
Not so many can say their dreams came true. Its like your stars were in line with a direct hit to your destiny. You danced with the Queen 👑. It's save to say you've led a charmed life sir
Such a pleasure to listen to your recollections Royal Butler. Really amazing that you were invited to the ball and got to dance with the Queen. Not many outsiders can say that. Keep those stories coming pls.
And now he's danced with a queen, a king, and a queen consort. Kind of bittersweet.
Thank you Grant. I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful narrative of Balmoral. I could picture it all. You looked so dapper in your kilt 😍 My father and I missed Camilla by an hour or so when she visited the Whittington Hospital in Islington last week. I would have loved to have seen her. How lovely that you got to dance with her and also The Queen. Wonderful 🌸
His enthusiasm & affection for the Royal family is infectious & the kindness of the Duchess of Cornwall & Prince Charles confirms what I've heard. How sad they were not allowed to marry when they were young; it would have saved much heartache & Camilla was purer than the driven snow compared with Harry's wife.
For those who may not know what a gilly or ghillie is, an old Gaelic word, it's someone who is an attendant on a Scottish estate responsible for the hunting and the fishing.
Thank you 🙏🏻
My name is Gillis. My paternal side of the family were Scottish and the name is derived from their having been attendants!
Impeccable - insights with discretion - thank you
How nice for us to now be able to visualise life at Balmoral thanks to your experience and enthusiastic account. It is also so pleasant to see your pride.
Thank you kindly for your lovely story of sweet memories. And yes, Princess Anne is just incredibly Royal! How blessed and fortunate you’ve been to meet with the highly loved and respected Royal Family. ✋🇺🇸
As usual, a fine In Conversation. I'm so happy you got to dance with the Queen and the Duchess.

Really enjoying these, In Coversation videos where you touch on the details of your experiences. Thank you for sharing your personal memories.

Your descriptions of the ball was great. I love Fridays Thank you
Her Majesty has just passed and been laid to rest. It's September 2022. I'm happy she spent her last days in a place she loved. 🕊🌹
This was the best yet Grant. I was enchanted and mesmerised by your recollections, thank you. 🏰👑🎶🏴
Such wonderful memories. Thank you so much, very enjoyable!
I can't thank you enough for sharing these memories with us. I love to see the royal family through your eyes especially since I am American and we don't have anything that's much like that here.
Such a shame they knock down theses old castle or buildings.
My father worked in a beautiful grand old place called the towers in heybridge in Essex.
It was made totally from solid concrete and they had to blow it up to demolish it.
Sad to see theses historical places disappear.
Oh wow. I only discovered you last night. I love your lilting accent. I loved the series Monarch Of The Glen.
I am looking forward to catching up on this series.
I love the way you present your story with beautiful photographs of castles and surrounding scenery.
Also the RF.
Lovely, thankyou so much for sharing your wonderful piece of history with the RF with us!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I have just found you! 😄....so thrilled. Like you, from a very young age, have always taken an interest in the British royal family. Thank you so much for bringing them nearer to me, on the other side of the world to you.....keep safe, from Fiji.
I enjoyed this. What great experiences. Your Daschund knows your English. I had a black Daschund. She knew all the words.
Well done Royal Butler! Another interesting and charming conversation. Continue to explore future opportunities as well. Looking forward to next week's episode. Thank you.
I enjoyed today's story so much. I'm a new subscriber from Florida. Sandy
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories. I live in Tasmania, Australia, but I have been blessed to see Balmoral and the Ballroom. You have brought back precious memories.
Thank you.
Thank you not only for the excellent way you've looked after the RF while in their service, but for your loyal sincerity when speaking about them and lastly for sharing with us your experiences and anecdotes showing the humanity of the family. You walk that fine line so few in their service over the years have stumbled over with grace and respect...IMHO anyway.🏴🪻🇬🇧
I live in America but I am of Scottish dependent and I loved your story, it reminded me of my grandma's stories she told me.
I loved this Conversation with the Royal Butler so much! I looked forward to it since the trailer! I got my coffee all ready this morning to sit and watch! Such a FANTASTIC story. I kept smiling and I had some giggles with ur wit and the experiences u recalled! What struck me most was how ur dreams came true, and all while I watched I knew I wanted to say that to you when I commented. Then u said it!! Twice!! You followed ur dreams and made it happen! From watching all of the vids, it is clear to me that from such a young age u KNEW this was ur place, and u saw the honor and privilege of this calling. I saw in Country Home, ( or House sry! ) when u first started, that same beauty of ur innocent and authentic pursuit. The Royals must have been so grateful for ur loyalty and benevolent zeal to look after them. I’m so happy for U! It is wonderful to see ur blessings and ur grateful heart, that’s why I believe ur good fortune happened and continues to mark ur life. Thank you for sharing these memories, I will be keeping my peepers looking out for the next conversation!!
Meg
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻
You made me feel as if I was peeking round a corner of the ballroom, quietly cheering you on and part of the nervous spell that held you. Wonderful. Thank you.
Thank you for watching 🙏
I did enjoy listening to Your Lovely memories !
Thank you for sharing this very lovely video. I’m so happy your dream came true! How fortunate they were to have your help too. 💕🇺🇸💕🇬🇧💕
Great stories thank you
Its great after all those year travelling to see them
You got your wish and got to spent time with them!!
Most enjoyable. Thank you Grant.
Finally, a lovely account of the history with cheerful music. :) Most documentaries I've seen feel so depressing. What a sweet and awesome story of the dancing!!! Thank you for putting together his lovely video. :)
Queen Victoria never really stopped grieving and moved forward after Prince Albert's death. Scotland is truly beautiful. My ancestors were English, Irish and Scottish. I have great affection for the UK. Getting to dance with the Queen is awesome.
Thank You Grant for sharing your very personal experience with both The British Royal Family and Balmoral Castle. And what a handsome little dachshund!
I love the rivers in Aberdeenshire they look like liquid silver, stunning. I would love to be there right now.
Love to know the History of Balmoral castle from you & your experiences that comes with our Queen Elizabeth 💕
Grant, you are a born storyteller. Your reminisces come to life and I imagine the places, the people , the ambience as you wind yourself through each remembrance. Delightful!
It is so beautiful.Wonderful story Thank you .
I love ❤️ your story’s and your Chanel xx 😘
You are a joy!! Such a brilliant ambassador for Scotland and the Royal Family. I loved watching this and subscribing. Your Scottish accent is music to my ears. Though Im an American, my grandparents on both sides came here from Scotland so Im a Scot through and through. You make me feel pround to be of Scottish ancestry.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I really enjoy your conversations! I must say this...I am American but on both sides of my family, we are fully Scottish. I had my DNA done and it confirmed this. Anyway, you and my brother could be twins. I was amazed when I found your channel because you are truly a spitting image of him! I love your accent. Thank you for sharing your memories!
Thank you so much for your private insight into life at Balmoral. What a dedicated fellow you are, your love and passion for the Royal Family shines through.
What a lovely memory you have, Grant!
Thank you that was awesome,, I knew most of the history your shared,, wow what a fantastic memory to think you once stood waiting for someone to wave,, and years later that someone was you,, wonderful memories, thank you for sharing
You know your fate early on. The pictures you had in your mind came true and it is a lovely story from your childhood through your adult life and you gave this talk so well. . Just so great you found your passion in life and all you dreamed came true for you!
Thank you 🙏 for your lovely memories, I enjoyed every minute and love your little dog, hes so cute 😁
I missed the premier today 😞!
But have enjoyed this insight very much. What a special place.
Thank you Mr Harrold. 🤗
I love it when you show photos of yourself on the job. You’re so handsome and sweet at the same time. I could listen to your conversations for hours!
Thanks for sharing your stories. God Bless.
I agree with you, the old castle was quite pretty (more so than Balmoral, which is very attractive; I've always liked that Scottish Baronial style).
I'm under the impression that the west coast of Scotland is a bit wetter (rainier), while the east coast is a bit colder. Is this incorrect?
Of _course_ the Duchess and the Queen would want to dance with you, such a cutie, and especially eye-catching in your kilt suit. (Sorry, but you can't look so nice and be so gentlemanly yet expect us older ladies not to notice.)
I really enjoy your gentle stories and personal reflections. I like that you let us see the human side of the royals, such as the Duchess of Cornwall in this episode, while remaining a man of honor. Please share if you can about the "lesser" royals such as the Gloucesters and Kents, the Armstrong-Joneses, and all of the Queen's children and grandchildren. I particularly admire the Princess Anne and Sophie Wessex (along with the Cambridges, of course).
Congratulations on making some of your dreams come true.
Lynx South Yes, that's so.
@@charleswatson1093 Thank you for replying.
@@LynxSouth A pleasure.
Thank you..I love our Royal family...To here you speak so beautiful about them is so refreshing....I hope to visit Balmoral soon...God bless the Queen....looking forward to more you have to share xx
Enjoyed it more than you can possibly imagine. Thank You!!
Just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this. You should write a book about these lovely times. I would have been a nervous wreck, and I am an American. My dream is to visit the U K some day. Love the Royals !
Hi, I have just watched your amazing insight into Balmoral.
I couldn’t help but search for information on this because of what has sadly just happened.
You have so amazing memories that will of course live on with you.
What a beautiful area this looks to be.
I can see why our Queen loved that place.
I am sure the royal family will continue to enjoy Balmoral in the future.
Our new King is going to be fantastic I just know it.
Thanks for posting this 👍
Wonderful memories thank you so much 😊
Loved these stories. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a beautiful place I had the opportunity in my life to work in a stately home in Warrington and I have had the opportunity to do flowers for the Royalty xx for the queen and princess Diana and prince Philip I feel so proud do shook my hand and spoke to me she is so special and I miss her so much xx bless her all I can say is wow your so Lucky I wish I could come and do flowers 💐 and the gardens it so majestic place xx 😘
I love listening to you. I love history and I’m a royalist through and though so both together is great to listen to. You always look smart ut I bet you look very dapper in your kilt. 😉
Beautiful video.Loved it.Blessings Patricia
A very fine presentation!
Thank you for recounting your memories and observations of Balmoral.
Thanks again for the wonderful memories ❤
Wonderful video Grant. Your recounting was as I remember my experience as well. In 2003, I was fortunate to be invited to attend the Ghillies Ball by then Queen's Piper Jim Motherwell, who received gracious permission from the Queen herself. It was a unbelievable experience as I was also a guest for 2 nights. The Queen had a bottle of whisky placed on my dresser and asked me if I had received it...that's how sharp she was to detail. As a Piper, The Queen's Piper and I played round the dinner table and we piped the Royal Family into the ballroom as they descended down the grand staircase into the ballroom. I was able to dance with the Queen as well, very much like you described your own dance with her. We had a marvelous conversation later as she sent for me to have a chat. Our conversation was very relaxed and she was so kind and warm. As an American, it was unusual for me to have been invited so Majesty Magazine did an article about my visit. When she passed, I flew over from America to pay my respects in person as my respect for her is only exceeded by her generosity and my admiration for her.
Thank you a lovely story......💕
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
What a lovely story!
I really enjoyed listening to the stories this gentleman tells.
You are surely incredibly lucky to have experienced some lovely parts of the lives of the royal family. This year’s Christmas will miss both the Queen and Prince. But the family will no doubt continue their treasured family traditions.
Fabulous memories.
So interesting. Such a beautiful castle. Thank you.
Very interesting journey you have had and thank you for sharing it.
You are quite blessed to have known the Queen, Prince Philip, and that world of the royals with her. The world will remain but as all things, will change. So hold your memories close!
Thank you so much for sharing your beloved memories ! I have enjoyed . I visited some time ago Balmoral castle , Ballater , Crathie Kirk and the Royal Lochnagar Destillery, it was like a dream come true ! And now I hear your memories that brings me back to such lovely places ! Thank you again !
Brilliant! Grant. ~ All the Best from the Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. Alba Gu Brath!
One of my faviouties places! I have been to Skye three times so far.
Thank-You! Grant~.It's wonderful to hear you speak so positively about the Misty Isle. You are an absolute gentleman. I also love the Isle of Lewis and Barra, where I spent a lot of my childhood with the Gaelic speaking grandparents and cousins. All the Hebridean Islands have something special and are magical. Haste ye back! Grant. 💙
I've been told my ancestors came from the Isle of Sky. McCutcheon is my family name.
@ Margie Loveland ~Hello! ..Your ancestors the McCutcheon's are known as the Mac Uisdein in Gaelic. They are related to Clan Mac Donald over on the Sleat Peninsula of Skye. The 14th Cent Dun Sgathaich castle has a lot of history linked to the MacDonalds, the McLeods and the McCutcheons connected to the MacDonalds. It overlooks Loch Einshort. There is also a strong Irish connection with the Gaels in the North of Ireland, lots of McCutcheon there. Many immigrants left the Isle of Skye for the east coast of the U.S, to New England, and Pennsylvania. Many others of the Scottish Dalriadan arrived in Canada, specifically Quebec, Calgary and Montreal. The Isle of Skye is very beautiful and ancient. I hope may visit one day. Gach durachd! Best wishes.
@@murtaghmcnamara1527 Thank you for answering me. Appreciate the history.
Love. Your story's and history
Thank you very much once again for all these great stories you tell us. I have enjoyed I your conversation! 🤗
I loved that story Thankyou. Hes a beautiful dog xx
Good times. Love hearing the stories.
I. Did enjoy your passionate story and experience with the Royal family. Look forward to more of your stories . 🇨🇦
From now on when someone mentions Balmoral that will remind me of TRB with tartan in the Ballroom. I like that little bridge over the river.
Thank you for the lovely stories! Just wonderful . I love your accent! ❤️ Love and best wishes and hopes, from Mississippi.
Your story is just a blessing to here . Your vision and dreams became a reality❤
You are such a nice person , and your memories with the Royal Family are amazing. Thank you for sharing, and love from 🇺🇸.
