    There are a lot of things we know and accept about the royal family. We know all about the perfect curtsy and the proper Windsor wave. But there are a lot of strange family traditions that most of us just pretend don’t exist. Like, what is the last name of Prince George and Princess Charlotte? And for that matter, did you know that Prince Harry’s name isn’t Harry, and Meghan Markle’s name isn’t Meghan? There are rules that affect every action of the royal family’s life, including what they need to pack when they travel. Everyone needs to bring a change of black clothes, but only the Queen makes sure to bring a slice of cake with her. You know there are a lot of rules when it comes to throwing a royal party, but you might have forgotten that the royal family makes an entrance from behind a secret room hidden behind a mirror.

    Queen Elizabeth was totally trolling the King of Saudi Arabia by forcing him to allow himself to be driven around by her. For that reason alone I think I really like her...

      Well, she did something similar to the Obabmas. They had come to Europe for some reason, and found out what day the Queen's REAL birthday is. (The official celebration is always in the summer, but her REAL birthday is in April.)
      So Obama calmly invited himself on an unofficial visit; and sent a message to say he and and Michelle were coming, uninvited. He never quite seemed to understand that he might have been the President aka Head of State of the God's Chosen Country the U.S. but this did not give hime quite the same status as a Ruling Monarch of Grrreat Britain. And he is not quite family.
      So, having stated that he was coming (from Germany or wherever) he was duly informed that he and Michelle would be picked up at Heathrow.
      Sure enough, a military helicopter was despatched to collect them...... with just enough room on board for Barack and Michelle. Of course he had brought his entire entourage with him, and they were all left behind on the tarmac, to twiddle their thumbs, and wonder what to do next.
      Their British military escort vehicle flew them to Windsor Great Park where they were met by a Land Rover, driven by Prince Philip. Obama, in his usual bossy way, didn't wait to be asked, but presumed to take charge of who sat where in the Land Rover. The Queen said that she sat in the back. So that was alright.
      I cannot find this clip any more- only another one of a different occasion that was a somewhat more formal arrival.
      I wonder if the Queen shared her chocolate cake with them, or ate it all herself.

      MandyJMaddison, In America we do not think of the Queen of England the way you brits do. Queen Elizabeth is no one that important to me, the Obamas are much more important personages in my opinion. Don't take it personal, but your queen isn't a leader in my eyes. She just leads the Church of England, and I am not a Christian, so I am not impressed with her.

    • @MandyJMaddison
      @MandyJMaddison 6 ปีที่แล้ว +143

      Juliaoceana, YOU may not be impressed with her, but the Obamas were. Very.
      Luckily for the UK, they have had a Head of State who has been gracious, and behaved in an admirable manner for the last sixty years. She has never embarrassed her country, in the way that so many US presidents have done. And so we say "Long live the Queen!"

He was never referred to as Henry.

When Charles & Diana through Buckingham Palace announced their second son’s name, they said his name was “Prince Henry Charles Albert David, but he is to be known as Prince Harry”. He has been known as Harry from the very beginning, from the moment they announced his name.

However, although Harry sounds posh enough for a royal for historical reasons (King Harry is Henry VIII), Bill, Jim and Ted sort of don't, although Jim and Ted were both used by prime ministers of the 1970s.

    2:09 Doubt all you want. She's known to sometimes travel incognito by herself with only one or two guards following discretely. So when she says that people do not recognise her without the bright clothes, she has the experience to back it up. The thing is nobody expects the Queen of England to be on an ordinary train, dressed as a dime a dozen old lady. It's called plausible deniability. So even if they do recognise her, 99% of the people will probably just dismiss it as an uncanny likeness and leave her alone. And that other 1% can be told that 'oh no I get that all the time. But I'm not her.'
    The Dutch royal family have been rumoured to do the same thing. I guess a lot of celebrities tend to do this.

Very little chance of missing those colours if things went pear shaped and her security team had to find her fast. she also wears gloves not only to avoid getting others sweaty hands on her. but its also to avoid someone trying to putting a chemical or poison onto her skin. They are lined and completely sealed.

      Phil, so many Americans are both enthralled and confused by life in the UK and your relationship with your monarchy. Here our TV media, during the recent royal wedding, called the Duchess of Cambridge "Duchess Kate", "Kate" and even "Kate Middleton". I will not be surprised if our media will call the new Duchess of Sussex "Duchess Megham" "Meghan" or "Meghan Markle". Also, according to our brilliant TV presenters St. George is a "cathedral;"instead of a royal chapel. I bet you did not know that? You got royalty- We got Trumps. I think you got the better deal.

    Just a small point. Although the Queen is immune to prosecution by statute or common law, she CAN, in theory, be tried by Constitutional law. Magna Carta is even higher, its whats known as a Settlement Treaty, an agreement between the Crown and the people, and above the jurisdiction of Parliment. Magna Carta allows for the monarch to be tried by a 'Barons Court', a court of law held in the House of Lords. She can be prosecuted for breaking her Coronation Oath, or breaking any of the Settlement Treaties the Crown has signed.
    There are those in UK that argue by signing the six EU treaties, she has broken her Coronation Oath in which she agreed to "protect the people from foreign rule". By giving Royal Assent to the Eu treaties, she handed over a chunk of the nations soveriegnty to unelected forigners in Brussels, and therefore should be tried in a Barons Court for Treason. However, you'd have to arrest her to do that, and as the sayaing goes, "you and whos army?"

    I'm slightly concerned about her driving when she has at least 4 cocktails a day! Though I suppose if she isn't prosecutable, she can't get done for drink driving!

    • @GFSLombardo
      @GFSLombardo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Correct, as Monarch she has what is called "Sovereign Immunity"' and is the only member of the Royal Family who has it. But she is 92 and has no record of ever being pulled over by police for drunk driving-yet. I think the legal theory is that since she is the ultimate source of all law and justice in the UK it would be really stupid to break a law that was made in her name.

    • @sammygirl5835

      These days she only drives on her own estates, she can do what she wants on private roads - just like the rest of us.

      Donna O As far as I know, she only drives on private estates, not over distances on public roads. As for driving the King of Saudi Arabia, the host or hostess of an important visitor will, if competent do do so, normally drive the guest personally! It is a courtesy and a compliment to do so, rather than leaving it to a lackey!

    • @mscott3918
      @mscott3918 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Michael Mouse The Queen drives on public roads, she couldn't visit friends otherwise. The drinking bit is exaggerated and she does not drink and drive. Like so many things on TH-cam a single fact is made into a novel.

    • @MrDannyDetail
      @MrDannyDetail 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If she is at Windsor, Sandringham or Balmoral then most of her family and friends tend to actually live within range of her private roads, since they are probably already living within her private estates (all three named consist of mulitple properties, most of the properties further consist of mulitple separate dwellings), or else are currently staying somewhere within the estate as the Queen's guest at the time she is wishing to see them. I admit things would get more tricky when she is at Buckingham Palace, but even then Clarence House, Kensington Palace and St. James' Palace are all pretty nearby, and most of her family and friends are probably likely to be at one of those is she is resident at Buckingham Palace and they are not.

    I don't know whether anyone else has mentioned this, but - in the UK - it is not uncommon for the name Harry to be used as a "diminutive" of Henry. It's a bit like James/Jamie/Jim/Jimmy or Edward/Eddie/Ted/Teddy or Margaret/Maggie/Meg. There are definitely more than those four names, although I can't remember them at the moment.
