Princess Diana's Funeral Part 9: Buckingham Palace & The Queen

- The carriage passes the Palace with the Queen waiting. She bows as Diana, her former daughter-in-law's, coffin passes.
A member of the public starts playing a Scottish lament on a set of bagpipes and charity workers who will later walk behind the procession start to gather.

Yep. Remember watching this and thinking: good for you, Diana. The Queen bows for no one. But she bowed for you.
The only person Queen Elizabeth II has ever bowed to as Queen of England, Princess Diana.
the Queen bowing to Diana's coffin was priceless
Bowing to Diana's coffin must have had taken a lot of courage, knowing the Queen's stiff attitude. This alone put Diana in history books, and established her as an unquestionable influence on the monarchy's image today.
20 years ago...and i'm still distraught watching it. Missing you very much, Princess Diana.
The WORLD loved Princess Diana
Because the Queen defers to no person, the bow was especially respectful.
Will forever be the queen of heart 2020 and the world is a mess without Diana
I think this is the only time the Queen bowed to anyone since she ascended the throne.
one of the saddest moments of my life. a beautiful woman bought to an early and sad end
What a sad day...I was 15 when she passed away and there has not been a day I haven't missed her or thought about her. I watch her videos and think to myself, what if she was still alive ? this world would have been a better place to live. I love u so much Diana, I miss you and I hope and pray you are resting in peace in heaven ! :'(
I love you Princess Diana...from Philippines😍😚😘😙
If she didn't do this she would have not been on that throne today so she should show her respect and I respect her for doing this
I, personally, deeply admired the Queen's gesture of bowing as Diana's coffin passed by her. It was a wonderful act of respect. The Queen, generally and typically, is always the one to whom people bow to, but in this instance she did so to Diana. You may also have noticed that the Queen was the first to bow and the majority of the other members of the Royal Family and those within her immediate physical surroundings followed her example by bowing also. On another matter, I would also like to respond to the claims some have made here that the Queen and Diana were enemies. Truth be told, they were far from it. At the very beginning, prior to the marriage, the Queen rejoiced in the idea of having Diana to be her daughter-in-law. Diana also had a genuine affection for her mother-in-law, called her "Mama" and would enquire at many opportunities as to when she would be able to have lunch or dinner with the Queen, of which the Queen was always happy. When Diana was having extreme difficulty due to the constant presence and pressure of the press, the Queen invited many members of the press before her and made a request to them that they allow Diana some privacy and space. When Charles and Diana would clash, the Queen always did her best to understand Diana and never allied with Charles against her. She attempted to assist Charles and Diana solve their differences by inviting both of them to join her and Prince Philip in private, family discussions. The only time that the Queen was clearly put off was when Diana's Panorama interview with Martin Bashir got broadcasted. The Queen expressed to Diana in a letter that a formal divorce was necessary but expressed herself in a gentle, sympathetic manner (calling her "Dearest Diana" and ending with "Love from Mama"). Even after the separation, Diana continued to phone the Queen and the Queen continued to write many letters to her. Diana felt that the Queen only had the best of intentions and was trying to help. Diana even once exclaimed, "Oh, I would really love to give my mother-in-law a hug!" When the Queen paid tribute to Diana with the live television broadcast, she stated (off-screen) that she firmly believed every single word within her speech. I think the claims made that the Queen and Diana despised each other only originate from the conniving ways of the press and how the public always wants to hear the juicy aspects of family affairs, even though it could be highly exaggerated or completely fabricated altogether. On a separate note, if the Queen ever appeared to be or is thought to have been unfeeling and far too reserved immediately after Diana's death, keep in mind - we couldn't expect anything more of her. The Queen is not the type of person nor is she in the position to display dramatic bouts of emotion and shed tears. She is an intensely private person and formality is essential within her public role and duty as the Queen.
respect and love, forever!
I think one historian said it right when he said "Diana brought the monarchy to it's knees". This was closest the Queen ever came to being truly hated by her people. Even in death Diana made an impact on the monarchy with the Queen bowing her head to the Princess of Wales' coffin. Truly extraordinary gesture from the Queen, yet there was no true meaning behind it besides trying to appease the people.
Respect..love ..and missing forever...Diana is my favorite ..always in my heart.
I really admire you Princess Diana.Princess of Wales.for me you are not just a Princess.you are a Saint to me.praying your souls always Holy Princess!!!missing you always💞💞💞😇
Twenty years passed and the beloved English princess was not forgotten as many thought. Sadly the beautiful princess had a very fast passage in this world, but the time she lived was enough to fulfill her mission, and what a beautiful mission! He helped the poor, broke prejudice and pride, loved his subjects as a fairy tale princess. She was loved by everyone, but she was not loved enough by the person who ever wished to be loved. The fairy tale of Diana does not end with happy ending, but she leaves many happy moments to be remembered. You left a piece of her to the world... His beloved sons, the beautiful Princes William and Henry. Twenty years have passed and Diana will forever be the princess of the people.
This is such a moving tribute still makes me cry
The person in the public, playing the bagpipes, was go genius and so heart-felt. Thank you. True, no bagpipes or muffled drum within the congregation, but at least someone had the courtesy to do so. Thank you for uploading this.
Heart breaking to watch and it's been nearly 15 years now. RIP sweet princess. We shall never forget you and always love you.
God bless you Diana Happy soul and peace in Heaven
Wow, the bagpipes made me cry. So powerful. I was 7 when she passed away, and watched the funeral with my sisters and mom. Such a sad day. We all watched the wedding of Prince William and Cathrine yesterday. It was a much better day. Diana must be proud.
The best and amazing Queen who we will never forget ...She was the best n always will b.
still makes my eyes well up
The queen bows to nobody. She did for diana. And I respected her so much for it.
I still dont believe it until I see her coffin. RIP sweet soul.
The 2 boys with their father and their uncle folowing their mothers coffin. I'll never forget that.
I was the same age as Harry when Diana died. I cried watching the funeral, especially thinking about how I would feel if my mother had been taken away from me so suddenly like that.
R.I.P DIANA
Yes the Queen bows her head, but notice how Princess Margaret doesn't
Diana pray for you 🇲🇨
I remember so much coverage of this all over the news when I was 15.
its amazing reali! britain came to a complete stand still! everyone was jst in shock!
I love you diana you are always in our hearts😪💗
She is still missed!
Still Watching This In 2019. I Cry And Then I Get Angry All Over Again. .....
Thank you again for uploading these videos! With all the added commentary, you obviously put a lot of work into this project, and I hope you know it's appreciated. Obviously there's a renewed interest in Diana now, with the magical wedding of the son who looks so much like her. Seeing the boys come out to wait for the funeral cortege, imagining their pain, brought tears to my eyes again.
O mundo inteiro se emocionou neste dia ao ver os principes acompanharem a ultima viagem da mãe.
Que descanse em paz!
I think that that was a day which noone must forget....truly the 'Peoples Princess'.
God Be With You Diana,And God Bless You,Queen Of The Peoples Hearts.
Yeah you better bow !!!!
I grew up idolizing Diana. She gave so much to her country men and women and to the rest of the world. She was a pure spirit and a true Human being. All the world mourned on this day. My heart and prayers will forever be with her two sons and Prince Charles. He did love her and I'm sure loves her still to do this day as the mother of his children.
Thank you for uploading this and the whole funeral. I was a kid but I still remember when I saw it on tv, that day. So many words have been spent around her life and death: When all is said and done, I still feel for a woman of value and character who died too young leaving her boys. Thank you again.
i'm still watching 2013 !
What an amazing sight, thagt was hard to watch, couldn't believe it.
Loved more in death as she was in life.....God rest your soul our sweet Diana .
thanks for posting!
i'd like to know what she was saying when the coffin passed by!
Prince Harry was only a year older than I was when his mom died. I watching this ad remember looking at the coffin with the envelope with the word "Mummy" on it and my heart just ached so badly. I couldn't imagine losing my mom at that age. I know I hugged my mom a lot on that day. Though now it's been a year since my mom died. It still hurts. No matter how long it's been.
I cried for weeks 😓😓😓
@myrnaloysboy Margaret was on holiday in Italy when Diana died and had to return home for the ceremony and was upset that it had upset her vacation.
My heart hurts for the boys 😢
Sarah ferguson looks very sad ...RIP lady di princess of my heart
It's hard to lose a parent at any age, my Dad passed away in 2000, I was 35, as the years pass the pain lessens, i still miss him a lot.
The lads of the Prince of Wales Company, Welsh Guards did a splendid job on the escort.
@dinah19691 The Duchess of York looked absolutely destroyed. She and Diana, Princess of Wales were the only two, aside from The Duchess of Kent, who knew what it was to live as women with sensitive emotions within the Royal Family. It was simply the end of an era for all of them. Terribly, terribly sad. The Duchess of York is fortunate that she has kept such positive relations with The Duke of York, she still has someone who loves her. Diana, it seems, didn't have that aside from her dear boys.
God bless you my everything my mother Diana princess of Wales
The bagpiping member of the public is in fact playing the Hymn "Abide With Me".
@truediabolique69 It's true, I remember exactly where I was, and what I was doing the moment I heard that Diana had been killed. It was so traumatic that people will always remember where they were. I recall being on the train and picking up the news an one of it's stops. I cried for hours.
The Queen underestimated the love of the world for just one person, to whom she was so readily to be rid of. I do believe Tony Blair saved the monarch on this day, she may not have went willingly to pay respect, however she did. I do hope that 10 years later the world has healed from such a loss. When seeing her boys in the news, interent, or etc... Her death afforded them some privacy in their lives they may not have had. She was truly everything a person could be or should be. Di 4ever loved.
I'll neve forget the day when I woke up and heard she was gone. But never forgotten. To this day. Goodbye England's Rose X
Abide with me was on of her favourite songs
She IS queen of Canada, among a lot of other Commonwealth countries...
I see her every day on my 20 canadian dollars bills....she is head of state, which is why we have a prime minister, since Canada is a Monarchy...
she bowed her head as 1:03. She knew better to pay respect to the peoples princess, who couldnt handle that madness that is the monarch. The queen gets much respect for that gesture. Much respect indeed.
Not to be contrary, but wasn't the Queen Mother's funeral a ceremonial funeral rather than a state funeral?
i'm crying...
:(
@tribecatom Thank you for protecting the integrity of your chanel and don't aloud unwanted commets; I wish every one does exactely what you're doing. Thank you, and please do not remove this historical event.
I remember hearing the piper when I watched the TV almost 10 years ago. I assumed it was part of the ceremony and afterward had great trouble finding any information about it. I see it seems to have been the initiative of someone in the crowd. The song the piper played is "Abide with Me".
i think the sadest part was watching the two young princes walking behnid their mothers coffin my heart just aches
Au Contraire... she is indeed the Queen (i.e. Head of State) of those Canada and New Zealand and a few others, incluing Australia. Australia even had a referendum a few years ago on whether or not to abolish her.
GythaO, I, too, remember seeing the "Mummy" card on the little wreath. I was crying already, but seeing the closeup of that little card just broke my heart.
I agree with you. I thought it was horrible how they tried to paint her as uncaring, while all she and Philip were doing was looking after the boys. Remember Charles went to Paris to accompany Diana home, so it was left to them to console them. No one seemed to consider her jobs as grandmother more important than her job as Queen at that time...
How gracious of HM the Queen to bow as Diana's coffin passed Her..
It wasn't gracious. It was a necessity. They were an inch away from having to pack their bags. And the Queen was smart enough to know that. Duty before anything else.
As it turns out, analysis of the wreck of the car showed that Trevor's seatbelt was fully retracted at the moment of impact, they could tell by the damage to it. It was just an assumption made by a journalist at the time that he had his belt on and was repeated by other journalists who equally weren't in a position to check.
It is him indeed, you can see him in Part 1 and in the later parts (after Part 26)where he anchors the interviews and analysis after the service has concluded.
❤️💖
Notice that Princess Margaret Did not bow her head at all!!
A shame she'll never meet her grandson.
@09SABBAS yah, the body language and facial expressions totally convey "oh come on! hurry up, let's get this over with!" ... and she didn't bow as the coffin passed, she bowed *before* it passed.. .the seemed to be bowing to her Royal Guard, *not* the coffin of the Queen of Hearts... i love that Diana sort of gave herself that *hoped-for* title
It was a great gesture of HM the Queen to bow when Diana's coffin passed her.. 1:00
i hope they do at my funeral..
I felt sooo bad for the boys...Must have been the lonliest day of their lives.
very sad
my eyes are filled with tears watching the funeral , miss you princess of hearts princess Diana love you miss you and always be remembered 👸🏼💐💐❤️❤️
@1::19 I see Fergie , this proves the Queen still likes Fergie
Just think without the Royal family we never would have known her late royal Highness and She never would've been able to reach people in such a huge platform as she did. May she rest in peace. She is of course missed but we shouldn't blame the Royal family especially not the Queen. Then queen was very fond of Diana and The only reason that HM took Diana's Title of Her Royal Highness is because her advisors advised her that it would be improper and not correct in terms of protocol
Diana...you are still remembered and loved
😢😢😢😢
❤❤NUNCA TE OLVIDAREMOS
u can tell shes not used to bowing, it looked awkward.
guys talking, forgetting the two most important parts walking right there next to them... WIlliam and Harry... suffering even more.... poor kids. tooo much for them to bear on their young shoulders. yet, they did grow into beautiful young men. Diana would be Proud...
The Duchess of York looks very sad at 2:03....does anyone remeber if Sarah was still married in 1997??? I'm asking because she was standing away from the royal family.....
As I said it then (while
seeing it live): the Queen bowed! La mayor de su humillación (no a su persona) a la institución que representa (¿u ostenta/o sostenta?) ¡¡¡¡¡CHAPEAU!!!!! Tuvo que ser un trago AMARGO; las imágenes al igual que sus interpretaciones dirán el resto.
People sometimes do play the Bagpipes at funerals, the person playing the pipes wanted to pay tribute to Princess Diana.
I thought that the bagpiper playing was appropriate enough for this sort of occasion, had this been a proper state funeral, there would have been, bagpipes, muffled drums, funeral music, like the Queen mother had for her State Funeral in 2002.
because I need to approve comments before they are published. Need to screen the comments to keep the nutters under control.
It was actually three and a half miles.
that is sooo sad, but nobody seems to be crying. I would have thought the boys would be very sad i mean it's their mom. Idk but it is just soo sad to have young children lose their mothers. like they are the ones that will do for no matter what.
Dear 324wilson,
Don't worry. The Queen will never die.
anyone know which part it shows then first lady hillary clinton arriving?
Who are the soldiers with the gold trim on their uniforms? Also what house did the princess belong to?
