Lord Mountbatten was also Prince (now King) Charles’ great uncle- and a favorite relative of his. It was he who advised Charles not to marry Camilla back in the 1970’s when they first met- long before Diana was even in the picture!
Mountbatten was also the one who encouraged Philip to nurture Elizabeth's crush on him, which is why they exchanged a lot of letters in their teen years. In addition to discouraging Camilla, Mountbatten also wanted Charles to marry his granddaughter (and Charles second cousin) Amanda Knatchbull, who rejected Charles anyway.

In the deaths of Mountbatten and the 18 soldiers, people forget that the British army shot across a river and killed two teens in the Irish republic. Always a murder on the other side of what's reported more, always. A British victim killed, an Irish victim killed. Always.

it’s a tradition at funerals for close family to pour earth on the coffin just before the body is interred. There is a famous line in English prayer books which is often said at funerals: “we therefore commit his body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust”. This is based on a line from Genesis in the Bible (just after the Fall of Man, when Adam and Eve are banished from the Garden of Eden for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge), in which God tells Adam: “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return”. Pouring earth on the coffin signifies the returning of the body to the earth, as the soul returns to God.
I’m a Yankee who is part Irish. I’m mad at the Irish government for seeming to want it both ways. Why didn’t De Valera accept Churchill’s offer for a United Ireland if he joined the allies in ww2? Why didn’t Ireland join NATO like the U.S., Canada and Iceland to name a few countries. How come Ireland made a secret deal defense treaty with the UK. How come Ireland didn’t develop a strong national defense. I’m not going to tell you us Yankees cannot be two faced when it comes to foreign policy/politics. But I feel like Ireland has wanted everything both ways. She wanted independence but didn’t want to be grown up in the room. She wanted a united Ireland, but didn’t want a United Ireland?? Her leaders couldn’t tell what was good and evil. De Valera gave his condolences to the German ambassador when Hitler died. To which there have been a few Irish leaders who have bashed Israel not knowing what is good and evil?? As a side note, it’s almost July 4th and I personally do not think we yanks had to break away from Britain. However we yanks sure became somebody, like us being in NATO and taking stands in foreign policy, knowing the difference between good and evil, and building up a military. We yanks don’t simply rely on others for defense.
De Valera threatened to invade Ireland. Kind of a strange way of asking for a favor. Also, being offered your own land back from the lying thieving murderous people who stole it might be considered a fools bargain. As for maintaining a strong defense, against whom? Russia? The last 800 years have demonstrated the foolishness of invading Ireland, i'd think. No need for any kind of army with that bit of marketing.
@@MajorHarper I think Russia would invade Ireland, or try to hurt Ireland. That’s almost like saying Ireland shouldn’t build up her defenses to protect against Islamic fundamentalists, because they wouldn’t hurt Ireland. Why did Iceland join NATO? You say the British were murderers, but were they like the Nazis?? According to a film I saw from about 25 years ago, De Valera didn’t want to make a deal for a United Ireland because he thought the Irish would keep voting for him to stay in power. Also if the Brits were such murderers why did Ireland secretly make a defense treaty with Britain, where Britain would come to her aid if she was attacked.

They changed it to Mountbatten to make it sound more English
