- This special, broadcast on BBC One on 1 January 2006, showed the creation of Harris's 80th birthday portrait painting of Queen Elizabeth II. It was highly publicised because the Queen had never been seen on such a programme before. In it, Harris goes to Buckingham Palace where he meets the Queen and paints her in an impressionist style.
*"Nah"* - Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
and of the Commonwealth Realms*
Oh give it a rest! The british empire is gone and the world has moved on!
Joan Thunder Commonwealth realms refers to places where the Queen is head of state. So places like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the rest. And the empire is still alive we still own 14 territories so quit being such a bellend about it.
@@orangepekoe5243 she isn't the head of state, she's the head of the church of england.
Alexandra Hill she's head of state in different countries though and also is head of the Church of England.
"I'm trying to capture the real you!" is probably something she's heard from every painter in her entire life.
WhatStef And yet I bet no one has lmao. She’s a pro at hiding her emotions and true feelings which I personally admire. I’m not a fan of public displays of emotions.
Yeah at that point I envisioned her jumping up taking of her top and swinging it in a circle around her head. Lol.
I would love to see what shes like when she has those moments of feeling free. 🤔
@@HM-xi5zi Sorry to hear you have trouble with reality, Hidzzy. To be human is to feel and to live emotionally - it's part of our reptilian brain. Logic and reason sets us apart from all the other living things, of course, but long before the frontal lobes developed, we functioned emotionally on our "true feelings."
@@duantorruellas716 I doubt she has "moments of feeling free." She was born TRAPPED into playing a role not of her choosing. She's done it exceptionally well but it's cost her her FREEDOM.
Only if they are all ped0s like Rolf, which (given the company some members of the BRF like to keep) wouldn't surprise me at all.
This is the closest thing you will get to an unscripted interview with the queen.
attenborough was better.
Agreed...she lit up thinking of her Grandchildren ...and enjoyed hearing about his 9 year old Grandson
I love how fast she left after he was done
She was off to check on Andrew. More than an hour alone and he gets up to all sorts.
She was like Peace because he was talking to much I would've done the same thing 🤣
QUEEN: "well, when he said he needed to do a quick touch up, I assumed he meant the painting!"
+monalisasmile lol.
+monalisasmile LMFAO!!!
Errrr....perhaps.......
ROTFL
I wonder what basement that paintings in now.
locked away in the tower never to see the light of day ever again ......... i hope
the basement of Rolfian Gray
It's in her bedroom.
Hopefully the bin.
Wayne Robinson No, it’s legitimately in her bedroom.
Listening to the Queen talk in a casual way is amazing.
Watching her majesty on this show, it’s hard to believe she’s left us.
Not really as she was nearly 100 .
Cant believe the Queen said "Nah" 😀
P.R. bullshit
The Queen isn't a stuffy person
'Cant believe the Queen said "Nah"'
Why? She's a common bitch anyway. Common as her corgis' poo!
As others have said Her Majesty is pretty down to earth. Prince Philip even more so and he used to swear like a trooper God rest his soul.
@@nossasenhoradoo871 nasty person
@42:30 ....
Rolf: "Do you keep a lot of the portraits?"
Queen: "No, none! They're all painted for other people." (Exquisite awkward moment)
Rolf: "Would you like to keep any of them?"
Queen: "No!" ...........All his efforts completely wasted - priceless!
mikethekeys g
Well they will make someone else happy!*
I mean, I wouldn't keep the 2954829583 portraits painted of me (if I had any), either.
she's an obnoxious cunt, send ur leckies a stamp n drop dead the lot of u vip universal credit leeches ( German 'Windsors')
@@bretwaldablahblahblah3578 Got a version of that comment in any known human language?
Queen looks so bored listening to him rattling on.
yes ,and if he just was quiet and painted,maybe the picture would be better.
Yep but she was very polite. I guess she has been in the company of 1000s of people who have bored her too death!*
I loved how she was like... I’m sitting here sick as a dog and you’re focusing on my watch, the chair, the curtain, the pearls, the broach, the aqua of my dress. Are you actually going to paint my FACE? What a git! Lol.
Mike Dennington,
She looks to me exactly like a person who is keeping still to have her portrait painted.
She has consent to the filming, and understands that Harris, as an entertainer, will alk for the benefit of the audience who will watch the film.
If there was no camera present, he probably would not talk so much.
Of course. She had to do these sittings so many times before.
We won't have another Queen for generations now. I like having a Queen more than King.
Me too.
@@robertcrookall5991 what if the king was gay? then he would be a queen.
@@wyrdscynce That would probably be cool too :-).
You have a King now....
I hope the reputation of the artist doesn’t permanently ruin our view of this painting. It’s really a departure for portraits of HM and we loved it when it was unveiled. I still do.
11:01 that painting is so bad. She must of thrown up her royal lunch when she saw that! Artist in the dungeon.
@@bradford_shaun_murray That painting is by Lucian Freud, grandson of Sigmund Freud and one of the foremost portrait painters of the 20th century. His portraits sell for tens of millions of pounds.
@@The_Butler_Did_It he’s right the Freud one is awful, utterly irrelevant how valuable his works are
@@charlieleonard7610 How good a painting is is purely subjective. Art is one of the great things in life, but art snobbery is not.
@@The_Butler_Did_It I agree, that’s why money has nothing to do with it
WTF did the queen just say "nah" lmao 11:06
She is just a person at the end of the day, she's not a coin.
She is a human being....
I'm pretty sure it was "nyagh" with a very soft "y"
Good ol' Liz has an accent. She said "No."
Haha she definitely did and that's most unusual as the Queen speaks with 'crystal glass' flawless English and never uses slang words or informal English usually even. The Queen also though, has an unusual ability to put people at ease I've heard, as it can be a nerve wracking experience for people being in her presence. A skill she's honed over a long period doing what she does. The way she said naah was typical Australian. It's possible she unconsciously just copied what Rolf said, to put him at ease and lower formalities.
She was so annoyed😂 she was like "Bruh shut up and just do it!" 😂
Fi4i5i
It would be a boring show if it was 1 hour of them being silent.
LOL Imagine a VIP doing something over & over again, that would get tiresome, especially if its a painting of themselves. We are always our own worst critic & IF you are of a stringent mind. For me personally, I like the idea of the seeing the impressions of each artist on the same subject, in this case Queen Elizabeth 2. The chattery was a bit distracting but considering who the artist was talking to, I's likely be a chatterbox also to get an impression of the personality I am painting, this helps create the atmosphere & persona of the person being painted & gives it character & life. I use to sketch with charcoal & graphite & standard lead & sometimes ink. Creation of a living object is difficult without mood & an idea of the personality. He didnt have much time with the queen & in my opinion he did a fantastic job.
" She was like, bruh.." lol!
...um excuse me!!! Queen Elizabeth II never says "bruh" thank you!! She might say "shut up" but not "bruh"!
You can tell the queen has visited Scotland a fair amount of times when she says “nah” 😂
This comment is about the painting...I'm not going to comment on the man, because I know absolutely nothing about him. I ran across this video and wanted to see his portrait of the Queen. I truly love the painting. I think he caught her personality brilliantly. You can see her sense of humor captured beautifully in her eyes. She truly was a treasure and I always had so much respect for her. Please know that we Americans feel the loss as well. Best wishes to everyone from across the pond. :)
What a beautiful gesture from the queen to have her portrait taken from her room for Rolf to inspect.. these are the things people may overlook..she was a truly lovely woman.
He wasn't really there to paint the Queen, he was swapping stories with Prince Andrew.
Uh oh...
haha priceless
Paul Marshall just because you know someone who is later unmasked as a sexual predator doesn’t make you one. Anyone can end up in Andrews position,
OMG you went there!
@@bojack40 Only someone who has no moral compass! So not anyone!
I just wanted him to shut up and paint. He couldn’t stop yapping.
Tracy L he was probably nervous lmao
Star-struck.
Exactly - Don't tell the queen your life story - just paint.
Give over ya hateful bitch .... you’re going on and on and on BELT UP !!
Weenie
I love the queens sense of humour
Yeah its as dry as an old dog shite that has been dehydrated by the sun. and dat be dry.
@@jazzkat8322 minge or humour?
@@neillp3827 Humour but probably minge too😊
@@jazzkat8322do you know what minge is😂
He painted Her Majesty. Now he's serving time at Her Majestys pleasure...lmao
Stuart Johns no he’s stalking his local school grounds near his house .... they told him to go home he said he was looking for “art supplies”
Rolf Harris, even on the sex offended register, he’s still hanging around little kids.
Not just her pleasure, presumably....
No he isn't.
@@mikelheron20 Hi Rolf
Utter disgrace of a human being. You can see the queen can see through the facade
I loved this... and how the Queen's personality shine through in the programme. What an exceptionally lovely lady!
I'd like to agree... but if she wasn't the Queen, she wouldn't be picked out of a crowd as anything spectacular, IMO. Very pretty and nice person... would live her life well and honourably, but not at all an "exceptionally lovely lady."
When she was younger and in full regalia at state affairs she looked like a movie star - she was stunning... but almost anyone would stop the show when all dolled up by dressers and dripping with diamonds.
It was her dedication to duty and to her promise to serve that is exceptional. We have no way of knowing how many days she got out of bed feeling like hell and still went out smiling and shaking hands until her arms ached. She's getting the respect now that she's always shown to others.
Compare her fundamental qualities to the likes of Donald Trump. They couldn't be farther apart on the scale of human decency..
@@rae0521 It needed saying xxx
@@rae0521 Yes, Trump is a graceless, classless, brainless narcissistic buffoon. The Queen was everything he isn't.
Coming back to this two years later, when Her Majesty has died, and Rolf Harris is, apparently, desperately ill at 92, I'm left with a feeling of total sadness: it was a good portrait - far better than so many others; he was so pleased and so honoured to have the chance to paint her; and since then - total disgrace for him. I suppose he deserved it; I can't judge the sins of others, having enough of my own; but to dismiss him, to forget him, to cast him into nothingness - just isn't right. He WAS a talented artist - he was also a fallible man, and even at times a wicked one, if judged by standards he just didn't seem to understand. But there was far more to him than his crime, or crimes - he doesn't deserve to be air-brushed from history.
Agreed and his wife and daughter his wife of 62 years dying of dementia and his poor daughter and son about to bury two parents and grandparents at the same time is awful for them ROLF will still be my childhood artist like Tony Hart was etc
''didn't seem to understand''??? Molesting children is wrong, is that so difficult to understand?
@@yoya4766 Why are you people incapable of reading what people actually write before jumping down their throats?
Yes, now that he's died there's something undeniably tragic and pathetic about it all. If he'd behaved himself and constrained his urges, his death would be big news and we'd be celebrating his life. As it is, most people are just shrugging and saying 'good riddance'.
@@AtheAetheling Because some things just cannot be justified or condoned. If you condone it, you're just as bad as the perpetrator.
The Queen didn't look 80 here. Beautiful lady 🌹
oh yeah, i saw that painting at a car boot sale last week..50p

He was a huge inspiration for me, the reason I got into painting 🎨. It was a huge shock hearing on the news when he was charged for sexual offences. I couldn’t believe it, under the soft gentle outside he was a very dark person. I still find it hard, I know what he did was disgusting his talent was short lived by his actions
Yes it was dark & shocking. He did much good too 'we all loved him as kids'. He was a performer & a showman so the public image is a show.That's the guy we all saw. I met him in the early 2000's after I'd become friends with a guy that I traveled in India with. Upon my return he invited me to dinner at Rolf's house as he lived in a wing of the house. I won't go into all but basically Rolf had taken him in & included him as family as he had had a bad childhood. It was great to see them do a double act at parties. They had met years before at a charity event as both played the Digirido.
All false charges. Read rolfharrisisinnocent ( just add a dot and the three letters 'c' followed by 'o' followed by 'm'.)
Over here in America, the only thing that we know about Rolf is his song ‘Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport’…at least that’s all I knew about him until very recently. It seems to me that Harris got caught up in operation Yewtree… again, I knew nothing of this, Jimmy Saville, or Gary Glitter, but would it be incorrect of me to ask that Harris is not as evil as Saville and Glitter?
She's so modest and down to earth, just sweet and wonderful in every way.
I love the Queen! nothing but class, love the way she handles people lol.
The Queen it's very friendly and has a beautiful smile.
Her sense of humour was amazing this was for her 80th birthday as I recall …
Rolf: Does that upset you?
Queen: Nahhh (NO kidding) I have NEVER heard her say Naaahh
...she also goes to the toilet believe it or not lol
...beautiful picture!
I liked to watch the process.
The Queen is a very nice person.
Imagine how may years of smalltalk she spend and she is still very friendly to
exited people.
I like the Queen!😊
I wouldn't imagine the BBC will ever repeat this again.
The Queen had to most warm and friendly smile of anyone.
I hope he realizes what a privilege it was to have such access to her like that, up close, personal, relaxed small talk. The way she delivered that line, "... after I succeeded and got into her safe..."
wouldn't you say it's a privilege for her as well to get to have small talk? after all it's not like she gets to just talk to citizens everyday right
This is uncomfortable on so many levels....
He was barely that though. A few improper relationships and a loose hand.
Yes, it's uncomfortable because we now know what Rolf Harris turned out to be. But listening to the Queen speak here is still fascinating, and so far nobody has made any bad claims towards her. So imo this interview can still be watched for what it is becuase it's the Queen that makes it interesting, not Pedo Rolf.
OH GIVE OVER overdramatise
I like his painting and how he approaches the work. The same method I was taught in my final years at art school. This portrait has a wonderful freshness and immediacy. Like it very much.
He molests children
HE IDIOT WAS A PERVERT HE MOLESTED CHILDREN AND YOU PRAISE HIM GET MENTAL HELP IF YOU CANT SEE HE WAS EVIL
Oh so he was an artist..i got shouted in highschool by my art teacher in australia when i said rolf harris did paintings.. thankyou miss cassotti.
What a classy, wonderful woman she is!
Grande Regina Elisabetta, ci mancherà come donna sobria, per il suo stile. Era la nostra nonna o bisnonna per antonomasia.
What a lovely presence she is. Her smile is disarming, her face beautifully animated. He really missed the corners of the smile, which are the best parts of it. Otherwise, she was the essence of grace. I wish she'd talked some more. She has a wicked sense of humor. She was ill, and still showed up! Glad I saw this. Through the years, she's been vilified and demeaned, yet she's weathered it all and come out of it as the classy lady she is.
She's a pro, no doubt. But considering what's happening in England, the world nearly, with the inevitable forced vaccinations and NWO agenda (own nothing and be happy), which she absolutely KNEW would happen perhaps since the Americans helped defeat Hitler. This is not a good person and allowed, maybe encouraged, totalitarianism on her British Commonwealth subjects.
@@ellyreginald6546 what a load of bollocks.
It's now locked away out of sight since his downfall. But it was a very good painting
Downfall?
It was a trumped up charge... the poice could find absoiutely no evidence but he was still convicted.....
This was wonderful to watch at the time.
I so wish to have that moment back
I noticed how she touched her ring at some point. I heard it is a signal for her entourage that means she had enough of a certain situation, or conversation.
Eww, I'm sure they wouldn't have filmed her touching her ring :O
Queen Elizabeth has always been beautiful during her young life + today. Don't think anyone else is capable of fitting in the shoes of such a wonderful person she is. She looks younger than her age.
Harris is innocent. See www(dot)rolfharrisisinnocent(dot)com
+Ejm Mc keep dreaming
Stop supporting greedy lawyers and their quest for money. Look at the way lawyers use the misguided, the deluded and the outright fraudulent.
Wendy Wild is a 54 year-old woman who is the 7 - 8-year-old mentioned by those who seek to demonise. This is the best example the muck rakers can think of to promote the theme of the male perpetrator + female victim.
Wendy Wild decided to go for some Harris money after she went bankrupt.
Wendy Wild alleged that Harris gave her a swift touch when she was at the head of an autograph queue, in a crowded hall 45 YEARS AGO.
Strangely she didn't tell anyone, strangely no one saw it happen.
It has been proven, by the police who were seeking evidence, that Harris was not at the location, a community hall in Leigh Park, Portsmouth, where she alleges this happened. Harris was not there either 3 years before or 3 years after the year that Wendy Wild was 7 years old.
The police searched the news archives, they questioned the staff of the hall in Portsmouth, they letter boxed residents of the town and they interviewed people in aged care facilities.
The police who did all this work are disgusted that Wendy Wild's accusation still resulted in a conviction.
All men should be warned by this. These are FACTS.
Hear hear!
That's because of the blood she drinks from the children she sacrificed
My favorite part was hearing the Queen speak of the other painters and paintings
So much admiration, respect, and genuine thumbs up for HRH The Queen. I am so privileged to be alive through some of her rein.
HM - and its reign.
11:02 Queen: The trouble is you see yourself aging in front of it.
Painter: Does that upset you?
Queen: Neh.
I am amazed by what a nice and lovely personable lady the Queen is...I think he did achieve a very good likeness...
I think his painting, of the queen, was superb.
.
Rolf may be persona non grata. But i loved his portrait of the Queen. Never con fuse the value of the art with the virtue of the artist
I so loved ,sitting through this painting , thank you .
Chatting like two old friends. She was just charming and elegant. Rest In Peace Your Majesty.
Real shame, that was a really nice portrait, beautiful smile.
The Queen is so classy. Such a beautiful woman.
she really is not amused by him is she
i think that woman has lost all warmth and uncontrolled deeper emotions being over 60 years in that position. cold and uninterested she seems to be. and resigned emotionally.
Her Majesty is just like that she needs to remain proper infront of cameras ive met the queen and i know others who have she is good at reading people if you don't care too much about the fact she's the queen she will relax a bit and be herself if you're shitting your pants that you're meeting the Queen she will act proper because she doesn't want to spoil the illusion for you
She can see right through he's a slippery nonce.
there is something a bit slimy about him...she must of picked up on it...shes nobodies fool!
That painting @11.02 is hilarious!
So fascinating and interesting! And to see the Queen's personality while they chatted.
lol...."Have you painted anything with me today?".....classic!
felt under-dressed so i paused the video, wore a 3 piece suit, made tea, baked biscuits and came back....now it feels right
I’d be really annoyed if he spent time painting the dress and stuff. I would only sit for him to paint my face.
She is so beautiful, our queen.
Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter were totally different to Rolf Harris. For a start there was actual evidence against them. Rolf Harris (if you actually bother to look into the details of the trial and the unprofessional way the police "investigated" his case) was convicted mainly after trial by media before his case came to court and his whole trial was clouded by the first case dealt with by the court, that he was accused of having molested an 8 year old. The other charges against him at his first trial were tainted by the accusations made by the woman who claimed to be 8 years old at the time. However, when the details of her accusations were investigated thoroughly by investigators acting for Rolf Harris at his subsequent trials, it was shown that the whole thing had been made up and consequently he was found not guilty of that charge. However, as he had already been convicted, it was too late to prevent the jury from perceiving him as being a paedophile. The other accusations for which he was convicted were also provably false or at the very least based on accounts that when looked at or scrutinised, could not have happened the way it was claimed. He was found not guilty of all other charges brought at his second and third trial after "victims" had brought stories to operation yew tree after responding to requests for "victims" to come forward having been told "you will be believed" with newspapers of a certain type boasting of potential compensation for victims being in the tens of thousands if not more. None of the cases on their own would have been enough to convict anyone. However, the fact that Operation Yewtree presented their "evidence" as if there had been a pattern was enough for the jury to decide, against real evidence, that he was guilty. There is a book out now by this investigation team (Rolf Harris. The Defence Team's Special investigator Reveals The Truth Behind The Trials by William Merritt) which quite clearly illustrates the shocking stitch up Rolf Harris was subject to. Anyone who genuinely thinks Rolf Harris was treated fairly should read this account and it will shock you to the core that someone could be convicted on the flimsiest of evidence. I think there is a suggestion that Rolf Harris may have been a bit tactile at times with people (not those who made accusations as most of them provably did not come in to contact with him or others whose account would have been witnessed by people if they had been true) as was the behaviour of people in the 70s and 80s, which doesn't condone that sort of thing but it was almost certainly not as sexually aggressive as was portrayed in court and certainly not paedophilia. As the book points out, the Metropolitan Police investigating these crimes were, at the time, involved with their own questionable practice of stamping new female recruits as an initiation ceremony where young police woman had their bare bottoms stamped with the station stamp while everyone else looked on! I know there will be people who take issue with what I have said, but I suggest you do a bit of research first and not just rely on what you are told by the tabloid media. As I said, Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter were totally different cases, but unfortunately Rolf Harris was tarred with the same brush, as was nearly Cliff Richard, Paul Gambaccini, Jim Davidson, Freddie Starr etc. all of whose cases were dismissed or fund not guilty through a lack of evidence and believability of the complainants.
Absolutely lovely video...thank you.
She's so lovely I just can't. I'd cry if I were ever to meet her...
god bless our queen, she genuinely cared and wanted to know about rolf and his life and had a normal conversation with him
She didn't care enough to ask him about the kids he raped.
@@jackdubz4247 yes she obviously didn’t know about the kids he raped at that stage did she you muppet
@@nairemlap533 True. And his accusers didn't know at that stage either. Read rolfharrisisinnocent (just add a dot and the three letters 'c' followed by 'o' followed by 'm'.)
There is a $32 billion child trafficking industry out there and Harris was used to distract the masses in the wrong direction.
Rolf is like the British version of Bob Ross
He was Australian actually
Was Bob Ross a sex offender?
@@haileyshannon7548 no, but he married many women, the guy was promiscuous
Bob Ross was a landscape artist, not a portrait artist.
@@linniem5982 an artist nonetheless
I'm saddened that he tainted his life with his perversion because he was so gifted by such a beautiful gift. It is interesting that they spoke about George Stubbs. I had to do a painting of a horse for Three Penny Opera that was based on a George Stubbs painting.

I remembered seeing it back when I lived in London and before I heard all of these heartbreaking stories about him. I once watched Rolf on art. The most depressing and amusing aspect is to imagine a predator coming so close to the Queen and bringing such dishonor.
What predator? Read rolfharrisisinnocent ( just add a dot and the three letters 'c' followed by 'o' followed by 'm'.)
Rolf was clearly so privileged to paint the Queen's portrait.
He was a brilliant artist and credit has to be given for at least some of the positive things he left us with.
The portrait is stunning.
Nope.
I really like the painting. That Rolf was an old lech is neither here nor there in relation to the paintings merits
I must confess I was worried first, but then, what an achievement ! That was a good job ! You do not betray her expression and we can find her in it ; thank you so much .
Thing is, the painter is a paedophile. Just out of prison.
I love watching Rolf Harris I used to watch him growing up when I was a child I used to love his cartoons and him drawing painting them I think he was the perfect choice to draw paint the Queen of England 🇬🇧🌹♥️🦁and he did a really very good job and drew her with a bit of sense of humour and friendly which I rather liked and of course class a very enjoyable video indeed for me to watch thank you for sharing this ☺️👍🏻💯🥰😊👍🏻💯
Old bag
What a complicated and accomplished woman. So removed from the life most of us know.
It’s a real shame Rolf threw everything away for his own sexual gratification. He’s almost hypnotising in this, with his soothing voice, you just can’t help but be amazed by him. Rolf will always be plagued by what he has done and he’ll live with that regret until the end.
From what i know he has no regret, just contempt for his victim.
@@peterainsworth8026 News today Peter - he is dying of cancer.
... NO EXCUSES FOR THAT.!.. EVER..NO ACCIDENT..😇.. HAVE AN APPLE 🍎.. IT'S SUNDAY..🖖🤩
The soothing voice and gregarious demeanour are all just part of the sexual predators repertoire, how he gets close to his victims, and how he gets away with it for so long. He always was and is a vile human, I’m glad he’s so sick he can no longer eat and will likely be gone from this world in a very short time.
That's the majority of men unfortunately, ruled by dopamine and testesterone.. Fortunately u don't find men with low testosterone being perverts, rapists or paeodophiles...so something to be said bout losing testesterone as u age..should be spent by 25 lol...haha
This will be controversial, but this is one of the best portraits of the Queen I have ever seen.
Perfect painting. He speaks full and also dramatically
God bless The Queen of England for being a woman with great virtue.
Are you sure?
This has aged well.
Despite not knowing much about him and skipping through large chunks of this video... I think:
She's very classy and seemed relaxed.
He did a pretty nice job capturing her.
I never heard the queen be so vocal before. I literally hung off her every word. Shes the only Queen I've known in my lifetime.
The same for me. However, half my life was spent working for her.
@@mscott3918 do you know her in real life?
Did you know Archbishop Mann and his wife? They stayed with us once when I was a kid, and I helped make them scones so they would feel at home. It was so cool to have tea with someone who knew her. I got confused and thought he was the archbishop of Canterbury.
@@ridgenappier2255 No, he did a 20 stretch.
As much as I loved the Queen she wasn’t the easiest to strike a conversation with. She can be quite difficult. She is abrasive at times, and makes others uncomfortable with her lack of replies and awkward silences. I imagine it must have been difficult for Diana to try to build a relationship with her. I also found her to be sarcastic at times when people asked her questions or tried to come forward to help her. We all just say ahhh isn’t she lovely, but if that was an ordinary person you would say don’t talk to me in that fashion. She got away with however she spoke because she was Queen, and we already had a great respect for her, but she came across as rude at times.
It's nice to read these honest insider views. I think a lot of people fail to realise that the image of the Queen they have has been meticulously crafted through the media presentation that she's been given. And this is the problem with the entire royal family as an institution.
Unfortunately, when you raise people to believe they're better than everybody else by blood, it's not surprising that they're actually not very nice people in general. But none of that matters if the only exposure to them are images of them waving and smiling to the masses, delivering inspiration speeches they didn't write, and being told at every opportunity how wonderful they are and how everyone else adores them.
I don't like him but Charles seems a lot more outgoing and accessible in comparison. Even in correspondence he uses the first person instead of the Royal 'we'.
She's savage I like her.
Fantastic! The most perfect ! The queem is perfect!!!! Congratulations!
Wonderful, excellent professional, no wonder you stand next to the wonderful queen that exists on this planet!
This was actually so fantastic. What a glorious thing to come across since her Majesties passing! To see her humour and natural self is a wonderful thing!

You can see just how deeply impressed with himself he is, hanging on every single word, being ever so careful not to move too quickly for we might just miss a whole second of the ultimate harris charm and intellect. In the U.S. we have our version of this man, and his name is Cosby.
Your version is called Trump

@Gary Allen Same for Harris. Read rolfharrisisinnocent ( just add a dot and the three letters 'c' followed by 'o' followed by 'm'.)
Absolutey striking portrait!
Have none of you considered this?. Perhaps she enjoyed a conversation with somebody who was not sucking up to her and grovelling . He kept it very casual and she did seem very relaxed and not at all offended that he was so informal with her.
yeah well she is 80 years too old for his tastes...
Rosalind Mercer too bad she isn't 12 and he'd be asking for her number and shit😂
the queen is 90.
Hubert Shitmeyer wrong she was 80 at this time
L Rodd but she IS 90 by now, numbnuts.
What joy it was to watch your creative process...those small details you shared were like hidden diamonds wonderfully shared..your sincerity and interaction allowed the public to get to know the queen ...how pleasant demeanor..thanks for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
yeah I heard he teaches the other inmates in prison with the rest of the pedophiles..
Shame about all the child rape
@@ballconei GROW UP !!! He didn’t RAPE anyone Jesus 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️

It's such a shame about Rolf, he was more than "just a celebrity'' he literally was a national treasure, its very upsetting to see his career and indeed possibly, his life, end this way.
I met Rolf briefly, about 20 years ago in Cardiff, He came across as such a warm, friendly gentleman, yet its clear now, He had a very dark sinister side.
it's upsetting.
Leighton Baller And now the value of homes in Bray has probably fallen significantly after he was released from prison!
I couldn't have said it better than you have here. It is very upsetting to me too. Ruined my enjoyment of him. So grossly offending. A shame as I believed he was a 'real natural'person. Just shows , you cannot be too careful in anybody.
Every time I see rolf on TV, I think it is a shame too . As a kid he was a hero , but a lot of 70s TV stars ruined it all too.
I'm not saying there's nothing in it, but media is a very cut-throat business full of egoists. Harris' demise may be more to do with professional jealousy than with what he did or didn't do
Where is the hard evidence. He got hung out to dry. What he did for aboriginal people in Australia shows a lot.
How beautiful!!!!!
What a real treat, all the elements, all the comments, all the accomplishment in this wonderful portrait of the lady.
I'm hoping the Palace will commission me to do Princess Charlotte....I mean do her portrait when I'm released some time before 2020
Nice to hear a informal relaxed Queen
thankyou rolf u did a great job. well done. i like your drawrings
I don't know how we'll cope when this wonderful woman finally end her reign, so to speak. 67 years as monarch is unlikely to be surpassed, but then they said the same about Victoria. She is totally relaxed during the first sitting.
Fast forward to 2022 -
June: she celebrated 70 years on the British throne with the Platinum Jubilee.
September: she is dead.
Well, here we are, we've lost her. It leaves a hole that will never be filled, but we can look forward to King Charles's reign in expectant hope.
