I love watching these special documentaries about the monarchy. It not just about people. Its the symbol of continuity from the past , with the present and the future. Its a symbol of all that is good about our heritage and gives us a reason to hope in the dark times and the hard times and gives joy and well being in the good times,even when lesser people fail.
As an American I so enjoy seeing the traditions of the Monarchy of the UK. Your Queen is such a joy to me. I'm glad that the doors of Windsor have been opened and that programs are available for the world to see. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless your Queen.
+Steve Gatey I'm american.....no way I will ever vote trump....although I refuse to vote hillary either...so...Idk I think we're sol either way we go at this point.
Dee Marie I agree with you 100%! I am from the States as well and it seems as if in this age where things change at the drop of a hat, it’s nice to see tradition matter somewhere. ♥️
Few people know besides soldiers, especially these guards, how much it HURTS to stand at attention, motionless, for any length of time, let alone hours. Good work, boys...
All kinds of military service are tough jobs---my son has a military background. I must say that Great Britain makes the most of theirs and the Queen understands all her people well.
I remember back in basic training (USAF) in 1972, we were warned about "locking the knees" while standing in formation. San Antonio in summer, 95 degrees and 90% humidity, (looking back on it) it was funny how many boots would pass out on the parade field, splayed out and totally ignored like sleeping dogs, until the entire formation had marched pass the base commander for inspection... our still fallen comrades littering the parade field like towels on a Malibu beach.
While sweating....man that brings back memories of standing at attention as sweat trickled down the center of your back and down your nose....accumulating on the tip...itching, itching, itching until it finally dropped.
I'm American and love our best friends across the pond. No body does pomp and ceremony like the Brits.So majestic and beautiful! I am sure I will cry all day long when your queen passes away. Hopefully she will have another decade like her mother.
My Mother was born on April 14, 1926 . She was Irish, and English, and very proud of Her Heritage , as I am , I enjoy watching anything to do with the Queen, and the History of England .. Long Live The Queen !!!
When Queen Elizabeth dies it will be an end of an era, and the start of a very uncertain era for us all. That is why we hope she will live a few more years. One royal historian said that the reason why some monarchs live very long lives is that they don't want their eldest child to inherit the throne, think about it. Prince Charles is the oldest and longest serving Prince of Wales and heir to the throne ever in British history.
I adore the queen all the way from the states! She handles everything with such grace and class. I always think about how she has dedicated her whole life to the crown and all things that go with it. I can't imagine having to do all her duties. She is always working. She can't just have a day where she stays in her pajamas in bed binge watching her favorite shows eating snacks. Even now in her late 90s she is still on all the time. She has led a life with alot of privilege but alot of work as well. I think she is absolutely adorable and I can't imagine a world without her. Long live the queen 👑
I remember going to the movies & on the newsreel they had a special about the coronation. She was a beauty all right. And I can't believe how beautiful she has remained. OH, the movie was Bambi (dear ol' Walt)
Absolutely Love this. Always wanted to know about Windsor Castle and the life of Our Beloved Queen Elizabth. My Gram, gone 60 yrs loved her and was from England.
Wonderful, very interesting documentary! Proud of my English/Scottish/Irish American heritage on my maternal side which goes back to William the Conqueror, first King of England who built Windsor Castle! The Drew family is one of the oldest English families and is mentioned in the Doomsday Book circa 1066. God Save the Queen and long live the Monarchy which has a very long rich history. Thank you for sharing this very informative video~
She rises at 7.30am each day, and goes to bed at Midnight. She has a set routine every single day of her life, including going through the mountain of state papers and government reports, she reads more government reports and state papers in one day than President Trump will ever read in his life time.
***** : Minneapolis. There is actually a pretty nice bronze statue of her Mary Richards character in the process of flinging up her tam o shanter (sp?) cap somewhere in downtown Minneapolis. In MKE, we have the 2/3rds life size Fonzie on our riverwalk; The Bronze Fonz. Doesn't look much like Henry Winkler, but the posture's good and the thumbs up gesture accurate. Honestly, I think it's pretty clumsy, but the tourists like having their photos taken with it. His bronze crotch has been polished to a shiny patina. My big red Dobie boy and I were taking the riverwalk on our way back to my car at some pay for parking structure after participating in the Downtown Veteran's Day parade and we happened upon some very tall models who were having a photo shoot while they were draped all over this undersized Fonzie statue. The models gushed all over my big red male Doberman and wanted to pose with him. I was so stupidly taken aback, I allowed the photographer to take photos of my boy with the models. I was feeling very short and pudgy next to these models. I never took down info so that I could get some copies of photos. So my dog may very well have been used as a model and never got pay. I should contact some US dog modeling agency and start a lawsuit. Or else learn to like beer. Eh.
***** : B. Cubbins. You actually are not a Brit by that name. Please tell me you are not. You may very well be my long lost cuz that my parents purposely have not allowed us to have contact with!
***** : Now it all is very clear to me: Fungus is a poorly disguised version of Ferguson, as in Sarah Ferguson. Our birthdates are days apart. Ahah! She is really me and I am really her! Yoohooh! Charlie, my prince! You are mine! I'm coming for you...!!!
wow.!!!This is very fantastic years her majesty the queen and the people of England doing this very exciting occasion. Really great. Long live the queen.❤🌷💜🌷love it.💜
I've always been fascinated with the pomp and circumstance of royal's as well as the timeless traditions and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE A GOOD HAT...they're GORGEOUS!! All of those precious little girls with their hats were adorable❣❣❣ The queen is a lovely personable woman...❤❤❤
What a lovely community within the walls of Windsor and the horses are almost as good there as we have here in Kentucky :P. All kidding aside Its a national treasure and a gift to the world that such a landmark is so lovingly cared for so that future generations can experience it as well. /hatsoff for all the hard work :)
Actually they are remarkably intelligent are those, actually Pembroke (the other being Cardigan) Corgi's, the welsh equivalent of the Border Collie, they're sheep dogs, they may have stumpy legs but they are incredibly quick! Need constant mental stimulation as well or they can get bored.
@@pedanticradiator1491 Prince Charles has already stated publicly that William will sit on the throne, although his wife will only be permitted to be a consort, NOT queen (because of her horrid behaviour towards the entire royal family). Therefore, parliament was basically told to stfu. Trust Prince Charles to tell parliament to go get stuffed 🤣.
@@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft I think he stated that William will follow him and are you referring to Camilla or Kate when you say they won't be queen I dont think either of them have been horrible to the whole royal family. At the time of his marriage to Camilla Charles did say that she would.hold the style Princess Consort when he became king
That was so sweet. Reminded me of elementary school when we all made Easter bonnets. I made mine out of a paper plate that tied on with ribbons. The entire top of the plate was covered with flowers. I got first prize in my fourth grade class. Lol
She works a hundred times harder than the current and hopefully outgoing American President, Mr Trump, who spends most of his day tweeting, watching Fox News and eating KFC or McDonalds.
I bought this entire DVD set and its wonderful. I got it from Barnes & Noble Sometimes I just like to be quiet...sip wine and enjoy these...and remember my 3 yrs in England. I wish I hadn't left because I didn't have to leave.....see that lady on her knees wiping that floor wax..wish It was me................
@keri caye, Since you have the entire DVD, Do you know what year was this video made? Sir Edmund Hillary, the very tall gentleman with a cane who was greeted by the Knight of the Garter Comptroller, Sir Malcolm Ross, as he ascended up the stairs , @ 16:27 "The conqueror of Everest" , [as the respectful narrator noted] is a world wide known New Zealand Mountaineer, part of the first confirmed party to reach the summit at Mt. Everest in 1953. He was first awarded the Knight Garter in 1995, he passed away in 2008, not sure when this video was made, could it be filmed in 2005, ? Also, Sir Malcolm Ross, @ 16:19 [very handsome man, in an interview described being called foul names and bullied by Prince Charles, when he left this position in he served in from 1991-2005 Office of Chamberlain, Comptroller. Sir Malcolm was responsible for the unprecedented funeral of Princess Diana, as well as for Queen Mother, Princess Margaret and Margaret Thatcher ], and joined Prince Charles' Household Staff 2006-2008, and was unceremoniously fired by Charle's Secretary...Prince Charles seems like a spoiled, entitled, nasty piece of work. Sir Malcolm passed away unexpectedly, on his birthday, 27th, October 2019 at age 76... Prince Andrew was seen months later, attending the Memorial Services for Sir Malcolm Ross held in March, 2020 In St. George Chapel, even though Prince Andrew , who is accused of pedophilia, was removed [supposedly ] from Royal duties...I guess they are sneaking Prince Andrew back into duties...he will not even cooperate with the FBI here in the U.S. order to address his 3 ILLEGAL sexual encounters with Georgia Roberts when she was 17 years old. If you don't mind, why did you leave England after 3 years if you enjoyed living there? Were you a Resident living there with proper immigration papers?
Last time I ever went on guard was in Windsor Castle in The summer of 1996 I was in the Irish Guards regiment not long after that I went AWOL and married the love of my life who I’m still with to this day 26 years later The British Army didn’t want me to get married because they thought it was too young I was only 22 I forgot to mention I’m an Irish man from the south of lreland
Aizar Horrible by bloody arse. She's actually a very patient, kind, and pleasant lady. I don't speak ill of your President, please leave MY queen alone. Thank you.
Would love to set with her and just talk. There is just something about the British lifestyle that has always drawn my attention. The history, chivalry, elegance, I could go on. I don't know if I was just born at the wrong time or in the wrong country. Besides the queen herself I have always loved learning about the tudors. From Henry VIII to Elizabeth I. Love learning about the foods at the time to the royals clothes and what fortunate items that have surpassed and been lucky enough to make it through the course of time. Would love to see the items of queen Elizabeth I to her father king Henry. That have never been shown to the public. Would love to spend a year just metal detecting around Britain.
@@johnsecord8539 you couldn't be more correct. I sure hope if I make it to her age that I am half as sharp as she is. Of course I'll probably be wearing more food than I eat and forgetting where my glasses are when I'm wearing them. The list could go on and on. England has a real treasure in their Queen. It is to bad her son will replace her someday. On his best day he won't be half the Royal she is. Definitely going from one extreme to another.
I love watching this and all the seeming magic and history, but I could NEVER do it. You are harnessed to that job for life. The Queen is in her 90’s and still has to work every single day! Always be nice and happy and never allowed to give her real opinion. Then to have those U.K. tabloid jackals dogging your every move and making up lies if you dare displease them. Your job is to work hard for the country and Commonwealth, and the U.K. tabloids greatest pleasure is to find fault with you. No thanks. I’ll enjoy watching these videos.
Well said - her life seems luxurious but she works 14 hour days mostly doing the same boring things over and over again; C. will take over more duties as she gets older but her whole life is dedicated (as she promised) to the service of the commonwealth so the job won't ever really end until she passes on. Barely a moment to herself her whole life, always having to be "on parade" except for a few weeks in scotland at the end of the summer (during which she has to have the PM and wife as guests for a weekend . . . ugh). C. will be King for fewer years than Edward VII, though I do think he will do much better than expected. Hell he's entitled to the job after all this wait although in reality he can't be looking forward to it, can he? Wills will be fine when it's his turn but he's as boring as a bag of hammers, and now the only fun one, Harry's off - he and Meghan probably decided they couldn't stand to be in the same castle at Christmas with Prince Andrew; talk about a bummer for ER, Andrew was her favorite and now I think she's had to banish him to some lodge on one of the properties, and rightly so. Too bad Anne can't take over as Regent, leave C. to tend to his organic peas and his watercoloring, and let mum put her feet up and have a deserved retirement where she can enjoy some good gin, TV, and her dogs. Anne's a bit staunch but that's what's required, she's a pro and would do a fine job, and she'd also keep it interesting with the occasional smart-ass comment.

I moored my boat a short distance down stream from Windsor, after work and at week end. For short jaunts I would either motor down stream to Runnymede. Other times up stream passed Windsor Great Park, a couple of times tailed by a black Rover Discovery.
I see a lot of Americans saying they wish they were british and could be involved in these sorts of things in some way and wish they had such a queen and ceremonies. While that is a perfectly valid stance and opinion to take, i'd like to offer an alternative view. These sorts of events were extremely posh, elitist, and closed off to the public. No one except the cream of society could attend such events or really saw/knew what went on there in much detail. It was in large part due to the changing nature of the world and the super power that is America and the way it handled its own affairs that gradually shifted the more archaic and closed off monarchy into the more public and accessible one of the modern era. So while Americans may indeed wish to see these events up close and wish they had a fascinating and strong queen for themselves, take heart and pride in the knowledge that your own people's history helped bring about the changes that allow everyone now, both british and american, to see these ceremonies when before neither could.
What total nonsense. It's got nothing to do with the USA. There were big changes with The Monarchy during and shortly after WW1 (along with universal suffrage, women working outside the home, loss of the servant class, etc.) The role of The Queen and Royal family still exist only because it's the will of the (British) people. Royalty changes with the times to still be relevant and acceptable to the people. If they were remote, inaccessible and didn't do all the good works they do they would rapidly be abolished like all the European monarchies that no longer exist. Some don't understand that The Queen has absolutely no power and is a 'ruler' in name only. Government is in her name but she's only a figurehead representing the British people.
@@nevillemason6791 If you think it has nothing to do with the USA, you need to pickup a history book and try reading it again. The American Revolution inspired the French Revolution just a few years later and more or less lead to a domino effect across Europe where many monarchies were destroyed by one means or another. Those changes by King George V were not some enlightened new ideology or a desire to change to keep with the times, they were to avoid the people turning on and ousting him and his family and it was spurred on, primarily, by what happened to his cousin, the Czar of Russia and the mass murder of the Romanov family. Revolutions had been occuring like wildfires after the american revolution and even created what some refer to as the Age of Revolution because it happened in so many places. The royals just want to keep on living and to simultaneously hold onto whatever status and power they can at this point. And yes, it all started with the American Revolution. Nearly all of the subsequent ones were inspired by it and pointed to it as an example, or another revolution that used it as an example.

I should have been born ROYAL! I would have made an awesome Prince! I would have been the PEOPLES PRINCE! (... and good lord, what great good I could have done with ALL that money ...)
No sorry not true, What is true is that HM The Queen is not having any "new dogs" and no puppies this has been the case for the past few years. Her Majisty doesnt want to leave any dogs behind after her death. But its not true to say the Queen has no Corgies or rather Dorkies...(Corgie /Dachshund mix) she has at least 2 still with her. Plus the Queen has other dogs! It's just the Corgies that always traveled with her including Susan who went with The Queen on her Honeymoon..
see Billy Mott, the top notch Brit Army guy.."we haven't got time" etc he's my friend..he's now married, living in the US and I'm so proud of him. He is one of the most well respect man of the service

The Royal Mews is also the State garage and the State Automobile Museum for Royal and former Royal cars and coaches as well as the housing for coachmen, grooms, chauffeurs and other staff.
given the age of the buildings and with the construction and the materials used (16" x 16" oak beams) it may not be physically possible to do that. literally there may not be the "real estate" needed.
Really no body,no Carlos or William no body be on her shoes,she was unique,espacial woman, she do what any men can do idont have a doubt , maybe Her southern Ana she is a strong woman to,she is almost like her but not quite God have her at his side.
In fact it is one of the most peaceful and quiet places at night. Yes, there are ghosts and spirits that haunt the castle, including Queen Victoria, Henry VIII and King George III, but it is very peaceful and beautiful at night. I know one member of staff who encountered the spirit of King George III in the castle grounds one October night.
@@monkeyspankerful Fantastic to know this. Yes, it is filled with history. When I was in St George's Chapel for the Eucharist at times, I would forget myself, and notice that I am walking very close to the burial place of King Henry VIII and Jane Seymour.
How can a true compassionate and decent human being live in good conscience while living in such outrageous excess while so many die around the globe because they lack the most basic of needs for life !!!???
The Pochade you give up your Mobil phone, computer etc, give all your earnings to the ‘poor’ invite homeless to sleep in your home, then and _only_ then, try telling others how to treat the rest of the world, you pious bitch!
Do you have a house, a car, enough to eat? Clean water? Telephone, computer, holidays? Then compared to so many people you are over privileged. I can't stand pretensious, hypocritical people who try to show how much they care by criticising others. Clean your own house first.
I never really had a role I wanted to be when I grew up. I did always wish I had a family crest or to become a knight. There’s no chance of that being an American, lol.. I did somehow end up married to my wife who has dual citizenship. Her mom was from England and met her father who was a USAF member. She was also born in England. Still does me no good as far as being knighted… The only title I’ve earned is medically Retired, Disabled Veteran… my goal later in life was to retire, I only made it half way before I got injured and they decided they where done with me. I know that even if I was a British citizen I’d probably never reach the honor of becoming a knight.
As your typical english, scottish, German, and a couple of other things american, I lose touch of my ancestry. But I have a King James bible that has 25% of my ancestry fully documented. Above all, I'm just amazed at how ANCIENT this all is!
wanda H you’re _not_ atypical English if you live in America and claim to have blood from everywhere in Europe. You’re a typical yank. As for 25% of your hereditary in a fairly modern bible 🤣🤦♀️😂🤦♀️🤣
@@JulieWallis1963 yank sounds good. Not that big a deal to me. Like you said, only 25%. 2 months ago I was mildly fascinated. Now I'm over at the AsianCooking and life shows. Its Spring festival over there!😍 I can watch without getting sick!👍👍🥰
I was once on sentry duty round the back of Windsor castle and this old lady rode past on a pony, I didn't recognise her so didn't present arms, anyway a castle employee said guardsman thats the Queen present arms so I did , she had a headache on and I didn't know it was her .
British monarchy is funded (except for security and state visits) by a share of the Crown Estate's profits , not the taxpayer. In these tough economic times they also provide hundreds and hundreds of people with jobs..
@@thomasdacunha1125 Absolutely. The government keeps about £300 million of the Crown Estate income. We have the only Head of State who is self funded and who pays the taxpayer.
@@bernadettevanderploeg2479 Dream On nothing, it`s already happening, Harry has gone Megolamaniac, his Mrs has gone, all we need now is to lock up Andrew and peace will Reign once more. Long live the Queen.

Narvelan Coleman Not always friendly! They have very sharp teeth and short tempers.
and most are dead now..how sad
Actually they are remarkably intelligent are those, actually Pembroke (the other being Cardigan) Corgi's, the welsh equivalent of the Border Collie, they're sheep dogs, they may have stumpy legs but they are incredibly quick!
Need constant mental stimulation as well or they can get bored.
Here's one th-cam.com/video/C0MJ2LHqbZ4/w-d-xo.html
Sadly they are all gone now
RIP Monty, Emma, Linnet, Willow, and Holly
She really seems genuine and lovely to her people. I hope Charles follows suit.
He will. He's a very good, genuine and caring man. After all, just look at who his teacher is.
you think charles will be ,king even though he married camilla ? it will probably be william.
@@Isabel-ge1ou Charles will be king regardless of his marriage to Camilla the laws of succession can only be changed by an act of parliament
@@pedanticradiator1491 Prince Charles has already stated publicly that William will sit on the throne, although his wife will only be permitted to be a consort, NOT queen (because of her horrid behaviour towards the entire royal family). Therefore, parliament was basically told to stfu. Trust Prince Charles to tell parliament to go get stuffed 🤣.
@@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft I think he stated that William will follow him and are you referring to Camilla or Kate when you say they won't be queen I dont think either of them have been horrible to the whole royal family. At the time of his marriage to Camilla Charles did say that she would.hold the style Princess Consort when he became king
@19:00 How precious to see those two buddies clothing each other. They are so lovely!
This is a great video thank you for sharing it is so full of history I just love this
Haha. Love the children with the hats.
That was so sweet. Reminded me of elementary school when we all made Easter bonnets. I made mine out of a paper plate that tied on with ribbons. The entire top of the plate was covered with flowers. I got first prize in my fourth grade class. Lol
Lend us a tenner please. No. I'm joking. Great video. She works very hard I must say. She makes our country great.
She works a hundred times harder than the current and hopefully outgoing American President, Mr Trump, who spends most of his day tweeting, watching Fox News and eating KFC or McDonalds.
What a great video!!! Very interesting & really cool how everything runs like clockwork, within Windsor Castle... What a beautiful life!!!
🎀🕯️ Thank you for this great documentary, it's inspiring and beautiful story.
☁️🕊️ God bless
Queen Elizabeth so dutiful and beautiful long live the queen
I could not agree more!
Awesome Clockmaker!
Rip prince Philip 😢
I bought this entire DVD set and its wonderful. I got it from Barnes & Noble
Sometimes I just like to be quiet...sip wine and enjoy these...and remember my 3 yrs in England. I wish I hadn't left because I didn't have to leave.....see that lady on her knees wiping that floor wax..wish It was me................
Keri , didn't I read a comment where you once worked in the royal household ?
@@chocolatcats I'd love to visit England. From what I've seen and heard, it's very beautiful. And I love the history.
@@missylowe2181
Me too, I love it hope they always keep this way.Fantastic to watch. 💜⚘
@keri caye, Since you have the entire DVD, Do you know what year was this video made? Sir Edmund Hillary, the very tall gentleman with a cane who was greeted by the Knight of the Garter Comptroller, Sir Malcolm Ross, as he ascended up the stairs , @ 16:27 "The conqueror of Everest" , [as the respectful narrator noted] is a world wide known New Zealand Mountaineer, part of the first confirmed party to reach the summit at Mt. Everest in 1953. He was first awarded the Knight Garter in 1995, he passed away in 2008, not sure when this video was made, could it be filmed in 2005, ? Also, Sir Malcolm Ross, @ 16:19 [very handsome man, in an interview described being called foul names and bullied by Prince Charles, when he left this position in he served in from 1991-2005 Office of Chamberlain, Comptroller. Sir Malcolm was responsible for the unprecedented funeral of Princess Diana, as well as for Queen Mother, Princess Margaret and Margaret Thatcher ], and joined Prince Charles' Household Staff 2006-2008, and was unceremoniously fired by Charle's Secretary...Prince Charles seems like a spoiled, entitled, nasty piece of work. Sir Malcolm passed away unexpectedly, on his birthday, 27th, October 2019 at age 76... Prince Andrew was seen months later, attending the Memorial Services for Sir Malcolm Ross held in March, 2020 In St. George Chapel, even though Prince Andrew , who is accused of pedophilia, was removed [supposedly ] from Royal duties...I guess they are sneaking Prince Andrew back into duties...he will not even cooperate with the FBI here in the U.S. order to address his 3 ILLEGAL sexual encounters with Georgia Roberts when she was 17 years old. If you don't mind, why did you leave England after 3 years if you enjoyed living there? Were you a Resident living there with proper immigration papers?
@@missylowe2181 We would love to see you, I hope your dream comes true one day.
Just awesome. Well done Britannia. Well done.
We should respect our monarch / queen Elizabeth 2
God save the Queen! From an American patriot and also lover of Britain and the Crown.

Love those Windsor greys.
Load of old rubbish
alan (sas) denman was one of my sergeants in battalion in the early 70s . chelsea and caterham . cracking guy .
Last time I ever went on guard was in Windsor Castle in The summer of 1996 I was in the Irish Guards regiment not long after that I went AWOL and married the love of my life who I’m still with to this day 26 years later The British Army didn’t want me to get married because they thought it was too young I was only 22 I forgot to mention I’m an Irish man from the south of lreland
This is beautiful! I really hope I get to meet the Queen someday!
+BroadcastDr You want to meet that horrible old woman?
Aizar Horrible by bloody arse. She's actually a very patient, kind, and pleasant lady. I don't speak ill of your President, please leave MY queen alone. Thank you.
Lady Brown HRH Prince Charles is a easy person to get along with as well. His father is even better :)
how? and she's retiring
Nice seeing the Barracks, as i worked on the construction of them.. a long long time ago
Would love to set with her and just talk. There is just something about the British lifestyle that has always drawn my attention. The history, chivalry, elegance, I could go on. I don't know if I was just born at the wrong time or in the wrong country. Besides the queen herself I have always loved learning about the tudors. From Henry VIII to Elizabeth I. Love learning about the foods at the time to the royals clothes and what fortunate items that have surpassed and been lucky enough to make it through the course of time. Would love to see the items of queen Elizabeth I to her father king Henry. That have never been shown to the public. Would love to spend a year just metal detecting around Britain.
Can you just imagine all of the interesting people the Queen has met over her years. Honestly it would be mind blowing to chat with her.
Rich Reske She use to meet with Winton Churchill and went thru ww2. Met JFK and so many more. It’s crazy when u think about it.
and keep on learning; the rewards will be many
@@johnsecord8539 you couldn't be more correct. I sure hope if I make it to her age that I am half as sharp as she is. Of course I'll probably be wearing more food than I eat and forgetting where my glasses are when I'm wearing them. The list could go on and on. England has a real treasure in their Queen. It is to bad her son will replace her someday. On his best day he won't be half the Royal she is.
Definitely going from one extreme to another.
Henry VII was the first Tudor king not Henry VIII
Great documentary.
Magnifique ! Vraiment une très belle vidéo sur la vie quotidienne de la Monarchie !!! J'aimerai beaucoup participer à cela ! Merci !
I think she should be declared Elizabeth the Great now while she is still alive to know how much she is appreciated.
I love watching this and all the seeming magic and history, but I could NEVER do it. You are harnessed to that job for life. The Queen is in her 90’s and still has to work every single day! Always be nice and happy and never allowed to give her real opinion. Then to have those U.K. tabloid jackals dogging your every move and making up lies if you dare displease them. Your job is to work hard for the country and Commonwealth, and the U.K. tabloids greatest pleasure is to find fault with you. No thanks. I’ll enjoy watching these videos.
Well said - her life seems luxurious but she works 14 hour days mostly doing the same boring things over and over again; C. will take over more duties as she gets older but her whole life is dedicated (as she promised) to the service of the commonwealth so the job won't ever really end until she passes on. Barely a moment to herself her whole life, always having to be "on parade" except for a few weeks in scotland at the end of the summer (during which she has to have the PM and wife as guests for a weekend . . . ugh). C. will be King for fewer years than Edward VII, though I do think he will do much better than expected. Hell he's entitled to the job after all this wait although in reality he can't be looking forward to it, can he? Wills will be fine when it's his turn but he's as boring as a bag of hammers, and now the only fun one, Harry's off - he and Meghan probably decided they couldn't stand to be in the same castle at Christmas with Prince Andrew; talk about a bummer for ER, Andrew was her favorite and now I think she's had to banish him to some lodge on one of the properties, and rightly so. Too bad Anne can't take over as Regent, leave C. to tend to his organic peas and his watercoloring, and let mum put her feet up and have a deserved retirement where she can enjoy some good gin, TV, and her dogs. Anne's a bit staunch but that's what's required, she's a pro and would do a fine job, and she'd also keep it interesting with the occasional smart-ass comment.

Buckingham Palace was the Queen’s Office, Balmoral the favorite holiday house, but Windsor was her “home”.
A name is always a name!
Patrolling the Quadrangle at night.... That bloody suit of armour! I swear it was watching me!!
Shes been and still is a fantastic Queen
I taught balmoral was her favourite place
I thought that too.
Thank you :)
long live the queen.
I moored my boat a short distance down stream from Windsor, after work and at week end. For short jaunts I would either motor down stream to Runnymede. Other times up stream passed Windsor Great Park, a couple of times tailed by a black Rover Discovery.
the queen rip rest in peace
I see a lot of Americans saying they wish they were british and could be involved in these sorts of things in some way and wish they had such a queen and ceremonies.
While that is a perfectly valid stance and opinion to take, i'd like to offer an alternative view.
These sorts of events were extremely posh, elitist, and closed off to the public. No one except the cream of society could attend such events or really saw/knew what went on there in much detail. It was in large part due to the changing nature of the world and the super power that is America and the way it handled its own affairs that gradually shifted the more archaic and closed off monarchy into the more public and accessible one of the modern era.
So while Americans may indeed wish to see these events up close and wish they had a fascinating and strong queen for themselves, take heart and pride in the knowledge that your own people's history helped bring about the changes that allow everyone now, both british and american, to see these ceremonies when before neither could.
TheDrexxus : Excellent comment. They have become more egalitarian, thanks to USA’s position.
TheDrexxus it was nothing to with American history, George V modernised the royal family
during WW1 because royal houses were falling
What total nonsense. It's got nothing to do with the USA. There were big changes with The Monarchy during and shortly after WW1 (along with universal suffrage, women working outside the home, loss of the servant class, etc.) The role of The Queen and Royal family still exist only because it's the will of the (British) people. Royalty changes with the times to still be relevant and acceptable to the people. If they were remote, inaccessible and didn't do all the good works they do they would rapidly be abolished like all the European monarchies that no longer exist. Some don't understand that The Queen has absolutely no power and is a 'ruler' in name only. Government is in her name but she's only a figurehead representing the British people.
@@nevillemason6791 If you think it has nothing to do with the USA, you need to pickup a history book and try reading it again.
The American Revolution inspired the French Revolution just a few years later and more or less lead to a domino effect across Europe where many monarchies were destroyed by one means or another.
Those changes by King George V were not some enlightened new ideology or a desire to change to keep with the times, they were to avoid the people turning on and ousting him and his family and it was spurred on, primarily, by what happened to his cousin, the Czar of Russia and the mass murder of the Romanov family. Revolutions had been occuring like wildfires after the american revolution and even created what some refer to as the Age of Revolution because it happened in so many places.
The royals just want to keep on living and to simultaneously hold onto whatever status and power they can at this point. And yes, it all started with the American Revolution. Nearly all of the subsequent ones were inspired by it and pointed to it as an example, or another revolution that used it as an example.
@@nevillemason6791 there are Americans who they have a say in our Monarchy because their Ancestors were British lol
제 평생 유럽 왕궁은 처음 보지요. 우리 왕궁 근정전에 일월오공도는 기억해도. 구조 몰라요. 비원은 왕비님 거처이지만 작아도. 이쁨 좋은 곳이지요. 몇 년전 갔었지요. 그런데 농장 나무들 보다가 가니까. 나무가 많이 나빠졌나봐요. 공해에 찌든다고 합니다. 창경궁도. 하하.
I've met a lot of old queens in my life, but they weren't royalty. 😁
As for me i have met with many fairies but their magic sticks were dispointing !
LOL
what a douche your go ask your mum the same question
I should have been born ROYAL! I would have made an awesome Prince! I would have been the PEOPLES PRINCE! (... and good lord, what great good I could have done with ALL that money ...)
Never fear--Prince William and Kate will step up to the plate.
God bless and keep our queen. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier 🐶
All of the Queen's Corgis have died.. the last of them in April 2018... but then I heard she is adopting one from up in Balmoral
No sorry not true, What is true is that HM The Queen is not having any "new dogs" and no puppies this has been the case for the past few years. Her Majisty doesnt want to leave any dogs behind after her death.
But its not true to say the Queen has no Corgies or rather Dorkies...(Corgie /Dachshund mix) she has at least 2 still with her.
Plus the Queen has other dogs! It's just the Corgies that always traveled with her including Susan who went with The Queen on her Honeymoon..
@@hotoneinspai They're "Dorgies", not "Dorkies", but you made me smile, thank you!!
I was there over 2 months ago. I miss it already
see Billy Mott, the top notch Brit Army guy.."we haven't got time" etc he's my friend..he's now married, living in the US and I'm so proud of him. He is one of the most well respect man of the service

25:30 That 70,510 pounds with inflation, etc is 7,832,000 pounds. Yes sir... that WOULD buy you a house. Quite a nice estate rather. ;)
The Royal Mews is also the State garage and the State Automobile Museum for Royal and former Royal cars and coaches as well as the housing for coachmen, grooms, chauffeurs and other staff.
Beautiful! The queen should have been more practical by installing elevators instead of 75 or 90 steps when servants are being summoned to see them :)
given the age of the buildings and with the construction and the materials used (16" x 16" oak beams) it may not be physically possible to do that. literally there may not be the "real estate" needed.
90 degrees in those jackets. Uugghhhhh
She has a runner in the “420” 😂
Hahaha 😂
4.20 p.m
i hope the Queen wouldn't mind me playing with her doggies if i ever got the chance
Erin Maria Don't risk it, they have sharp teeth and like ankles.
she wouldn't allow it...they are not out and about in public
They are all dead now
very good
Really no body,no Carlos or William no body be on her shoes,she was unique,espacial woman, she do what any men can do idont have a doubt , maybe
Her southern Ana she is a strong woman to,she is almost like her but not quite
God have her at his side.
I knew I loved the Queen.... She has dogs. -An American
Corgis, the royal yard weasels.
Welsh Corgis are American, who knew ?
I heard the royal pooches crap in the house. Probably not true but it was funny.
Bloody scary place at night.
In fact it is one of the most peaceful and quiet places at night. Yes, there are ghosts and spirits that haunt the castle, including Queen Victoria, Henry VIII and King George III, but it is very peaceful and beautiful at night. I know one member of staff who encountered the spirit of King George III in the castle grounds one October night.
@@johnking5174 In fact.... I used to guard that place at night.....The Quadrangle suit of armour watches your every move....
@@monkeyspankerful Fantastic to know this. Yes, it is filled with history. When I was in St George's Chapel for the Eucharist at times, I would forget myself, and notice that I am walking very close to the burial place of King Henry VIII and Jane Seymour.
I spent 4 years in the Army. I loved it but the thought of constantly being told what to do...............I could have never made it.
How can a true compassionate and decent human being live in good conscience while living in such outrageous excess while so many die around the globe because they lack the most basic of needs for life !!!???
The Pochade you give up your Mobil phone, computer etc, give all your earnings to the ‘poor’ invite homeless to sleep in your home, then and _only_ then, try telling others how to treat the rest of the world, you pious bitch!
Do you have a house, a car, enough to eat? Clean water? Telephone, computer, holidays? Then compared to so many people you are over privileged. I can't stand pretensious, hypocritical people who try to show how much they care by criticising others. Clean your own house first.
What exquisite virtue signalling. Well done dear!
I never really had a role I wanted to be when I grew up. I did always wish I had a family crest or to become a knight. There’s no chance of that being an American, lol.. I did somehow end up married to my wife who has dual citizenship. Her mom was from England and met her father who was a USAF member. She was also born in England. Still does me no good as far as being knighted… The only title I’ve earned is medically Retired, Disabled Veteran… my goal later in life was to retire, I only made it half way before I got injured and they decided they where done with me. I know that even if I was a British citizen I’d probably never reach the honor of becoming a knight.
Everyone here talks about wanting to live like the queen but I’d like to be staff . I’ll do it in my next life 😃
I did it in this life, for 30 years. I would hate to live The Queen's life.
My thoughts exactly, after seeing this video.
I enjoyed this ! :-)
As your typical english, scottish, German, and a couple of other things american, I lose touch of my ancestry.
But I have a King James bible that has 25% of my ancestry fully documented.
Above all, I'm just amazed at how ANCIENT this all is!
So you're a Native American?
wanda H you’re _not_ atypical English if you live in America and claim to have blood from everywhere in Europe. You’re a typical yank.

I was once on sentry duty round the back of Windsor castle and this old lady rode past on a pony, I didn't recognise her so didn't present arms, anyway a castle employee said guardsman thats the Queen present arms so I did , she had a headache on and I didn't know it was her .
"had a headache on" .. lol ..
In these tough economic times, the monarchy really must pare down.

British monarchy is funded (except for security and state visits) by a share of the Crown Estate's profits , not the taxpayer. In these tough economic times they also provide hundreds and hundreds of people with jobs..
@@thomasdacunha1125 Well said, Thomas, and completely true.
