I feel that you are like many of us Americans, HM THE QUEEN ELIZABETH 2nd is the only monarch in our collective American lifetime. She died a tad more than a year ago but was only able to shed tears for her when I watched THE CROWN FINALE.
@@1truebloodlove I cried at the end of The Crown, I'm not going to lie. I'm a 48 year old, ex-con, construction worker, widower, but I shed a few tears at the end of the finale, I'll admit it. I'm a big softie. Plus there's something about bagpipes, maybe it's just my Celtic soul. I'd be willing to bet that anyone who watched that show, and then did a little fact checking, would walk away with respect for her. It was probably the most well cast show in human history whoever was the casting director for that show should win every award in that category. Seventy years, seven months and two days and the woman was on duty every day of it. I feel like the rest of the royals get to enjoy the benefits without the hard part, but Queen Elizabeth II truly worked for it.
@@1truebloodlove90% of the current world population was born after she took the throne. A good percentage lived their entire lives and died while she was on the throne.
We won’t see a proper queen asscend the throne in our lifetime my kids might but it won’t be a queen like we’ve all know through our lives with such a huge impact on the world and on the throne for as long a time as queen Elizabeth the 2nd was,rip your majesty you were a one of a kind
I dont know if you observe princess Charlotte i think she will be Qeen instead of prince George. She has everything in her characteristics her poise and ready to take charge of herself and family for a start and the more i saw her she takes after her great grandmother for sure shes got what it takes little george is very indearing but hasnt quite got it i reckon a bit like his grandfather the women in that family certainly have it all over the boys i reckon offcourse i could be wrong but somehow i dont think so 🙏🙏🙏🩷🦋🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🌏💐🕉️☮️💟🌻💯😍prc
Me, too; and so I shall continue. 🤨 Ronald Reagan said something similar to, "No offense to other monarchs elsewhere; but if we say, _'The Queen',_ we all know whobwe we are talking about." 😊👍 The wife of the current king is (to me) the queen, or Queen Camilla; but not _the Queen._ No disrespect, ma'am. 🤷
I do too , & I'm an American ! Greatly respected & admired her for the obvious reasons - her work ethic , etc. but especially related to her love of horses & continuing riding in her latter years ( my friends & I are still riding at 70 - 80 yrs. old ) & the importance of her dogs in her life .
@@dm588 Yes I can imagine Charlotte will be very much like her wonderful and exceptional great grandmother ... well who knows what the future will bring 🥺it won't be in our generation anyway.
Such an admirable lady. The world lost an incredible person and women lost a marvelous example of duty, love and family. As an American I have often wished my country's leaders would show even half the wisdom and grace this great lady did.
Not only women, but men lost a marvelous example of duty, love, and family. The entire world loved, and admired Her Majesty, the Queen. There will never be another like her.
I am an Aussie rebel, and almost 70years. For most of my life I only respect Authority that has earned it….. I LOVE , RESPECT, and feel so privileged to have lived my life with her presence in it…. I agree there will never be anyone who will come near her, past or present. RIP Our Infinitely Most Gracious Majesty…. Though I never met you, I Miss You❤❤❤❤❤
As an American, I never had the privilege of calling her my Queen. But she will always be THE Queen. Rest now, good and faithful servant. You are deeply missed.
She and her family are ethnic Germans who has appropriated a song about the true King who was intent on removing her usurping ancestors. Don't let the facts get in the way of the sham history of the Sax coburgs....
I feel the same way I loved The Queen. Every day I drink her platinum jubilee tea blend and I invite me daughter over to have “The Queen’s Tea” as we like to call it. May she rest in peace ❤🇺🇸
@@pedanticradiator1491 She grew up in England, she lived around the British people, I’m sure she didn’t wake up in the morning saying to herself that I’ve really got German blood flowing in my veins but I will keep quiet about how I feel and not tell anybody. We are where we live really, I’m sure her nannies and the staff who took care of her and did things for her all her life were all British. She sounded British she put on a British uniform and served in WWII in the British Women’s service core. All white people probably have British genes or coming from the same beginning of this race be whatever country they eventually started calling themselves. We Americans are a blend of every race but the mostly white people can trace our ancestry to the different European people, I know I’m a blend of Irish, English, Swedish and French. My husband had German, but they called themselves Pennsylvania Dutch because they didn’t want to identify with German and I saw a picture of one ancestor on his dad side that most definitely looked Native American and on his mother’s side the two grandparents immigrated from the French Canadian area and they only spoke French when they first came to America and my husband’s mother only spoke French when she started grade school,she had to learn English so my children are a very mixed ancestry which I think is interesting.
It was a very appropriate funeral. The Queen deserved all the pomp and circumstance after serving for 70 years. I loved that woman for being a good role model for women.❤
@hunterkimbleWhat utter rubbish you talk! Andrew I agree about , but if anything he was the most spoiled.When you are a grown up and have brought up a family , you will realise that there can be a rotten apple in every barrel.I also assume that you are blaming the parents of the countless other men who visited Epstein's Island. That doesn't suit your purpose though does it.
She reminds me so much of my own mom. 😢❤This was her era. The clothes, the manners, the makeup, everything. That's why is was so hard letting her go. It was like my mom leaving all over again.
I am a 73 year old American of Scottish and German decent, and yet Queen Elizabeth was my Queen👸🏻! Duty and country first, then family a strong second! She is and will be missed by many😢!
The very last goodbye with the Scott slowly turning away, walking away with his bagpipes just gets me every time. I cry still. The Queen will go down in history and the hearts of her people as the most beloved of the monarchs.
She was the beacon for leadership and grace, humility and humor, she showed the world way a woman can do with dignity and grace and kindness,I’m an American and she was the only queen I have ever seen and it’s like my grandmother has died… rest in peace my beloved queen you have fulfilled your duty!!❤❤❤
I'm American and she was queen all my life. She was a joy to look at in her beautiful gowns. As I grew older I sincerely appreciated her more and more. I still can't believe she's gone.
There will be a day we will see her again and a day we will meet our loved ones again we will meet again, my ancestors fought with the queens ancestors but she still loved Scotland such a true queen we will never forget her
My daughter and I arrived in London the day the Queen died. We were staying 2 blocks from Buckingham Palace. It was amazing to see how very loved and respected she was.
I hadn't realised I was still sad about THE Queen's passing, until I saw this video... and you're right, they might have removed the word "consort" from Camila's title... THE Queen will always be Elizabeth II
I am an American and I fell in love with the Queen when I was 7 years old and watched her Coronation on our tiny black and white tv. My mom didn’t watch it with me but my father’s people were English and Irish and his mother looked almost identical to the Queen to me. Wore the pin on her left shoulder of her coat or dress, wore her hats like the Queen, same hairstyle, same thin lips, same lipstick, powder and rouge, she was the same height and body build. It was like seeing my grandmother and when I was young I looked very much like the Queen when she was young. My mom really preferred my brother over me but my mom was of a different ancestry she was Swedish and French so I don’t think she was happy how I looked so much like my paternal grandmothers side. But I really don’t care if she liked my looks or not, I’m okay with myself and I love the British pageantry. I miss the Queen! I also loved horses, I went riding when I was young, the last 30 years we owned horses, we had just 3 and now we are down to just one. I would have loved to have been a friend of the Queen but we had too much age difference and an ocean between us.
I ‘m not running down any other Queen on the current throne or to come but yes, she’ll always be THE QUEEN to me(🇦🇺). Thank you for choosing this version of Skye Boat Song. Moving enough on its own but combined with the video, tears fall quickly.
Makes me want to cry,she was always there as long as I can remember,I can remember the street party when she was crowned ,my family were all so happy,years of war over ,men back home safe,my mum dancing wrap in union jack,happy days,
I loved the Queen dearly and I loved the Skye Boat Song which I sang from the time I was a child. The song has an interesting history. It was composed in the Victorian time when there was an enthusiasm for all things Highland. The song and its original lyrics are about the Jacobite Rising and Bonnie Prince Charlie's escape (highly romanticised) to Skye and then back to France. Robert Louis Stevenson later objected to the lyrics and wrote the ones we are familiar with today "Sing me a song of a lad that is gone...". It is a lovely song and highly evocative and of course Queen Elizabeth loved the Highlands but it is ironic for the song which was composed as a Jacobite anthem is associated with an Anglican Queen.
@@aa-xg3ct Don't you think it's a question of both/and rather than either/or? Regarding their places of worship, the members of the royal family were both Anglican in England and Presbyterian in Scotland.
I don't think you can be both ( but what do I know ) The Queen was just an ordinary member of the church in Scotland, that's a bit different to what her role in England was.@@barbararussell9757
My Mom sang this to me so many times when l was wee... beautiful ❤️..she will forever be in my heart as will The Queen will be .the World has gone a bit crazy and dark since she has left us..
Queen Elizabeth comes across in such a real way and it makes her likable. I think Carmella has that, Catherine has that. You get a sense they’re fully present when you see them and that they’re authentic. It’s a kind of love really, paying attention to things. I suppose it sounds minor but it isn’t. I watch people all day every day.
I feel like British ppl sort of use this in movies or tv (since I don’t know any British ppl) in a sort of humorous way, but the underlying statement is just that they’re quite conscious of other people in a way Americans aren’t (I’m American). Maybe not. But I saw, in New York, very small children who would look at their nannies before engaging with strangers at all, to know what to think. And I thought it has socioeconomic implications really. Engaging with others starts early and negotiating space starts early and is a lifelong skill. If quite a large number of ppl choose to disengage they will miss learning some lovely things. More importantly maybe their social skills and work skills plus insight overall will suffer. I feel this is at a crisis point in New York and Chicago and I feel it literally makes America weak bc it makes us stupid. I saw a lot of this in New York and Chicago. Because thought generally follows feelings I’m really worried about this sort of antisocial crap poisoning people intellectually. Sorry. Big rant. All I meant was in general British ppl seem to expect their kids to engage and to use manners as a tool to facilitate that. They seem to just take it for granted but it’s a huge wealth of skills really. We don’t have anyone like Princess Catherine here and I think she’s such an inspiration.
I’m an American. Texas is my home state. I love my country and have been an anglophile most of my life. My Mom went to England & Scotland in ‘88. i went with her in ‘89. I look nothing like her. When she came home she mentioned how while in London prople would smile at her, and be most polite. They would stare at her. We all thought it was because she was a foreigner, and were drawn to her sweet smile, and disposition. She was a pretty lady too. When she & i went in ‘89 i witnessed this behavior too. I finally figured out why people reacted to her, and it’s because she looked like she could be a close relative of Her Majesty. Mom had black hair, white, smooth skin, and lots of teeth showing when she smiled. She even wore her hair like The Queen. She was in her mid 60’s, and very fit. She was always well dressed, but nothing too ornate. They were polite to me, but Mom was their focus. i look at my pics from that trip and see the resemblance. 😁
I think I'll ask for this played at my funeral, this and Amazing Grace, such beautiful songs. We had a piper at my father's funeral. My ancestors were related to the kings of Scotland, so the Queen was my very very distant cousin. My aunt looked just like her! Many people commented how the Queen Mother looked like my Grandma, esp. back in the 1940's. Thanks for this song video!

I feel like British ppl sort of use this in movies or tv (since I don’t know any British ppl) in a sort of humorous way, but the underlying statement is just that they’re quite conscious of other people in a way Americans aren’t (I’m American). Maybe not. But I saw, in New York, very small children who would look at their nannies before engaging with strangers at all, to know what to think. And I thought it has socioeconomic implications really. Engaging with others starts early and negotiating space starts early and is a lifelong skill. If quite a large number of ppl choose to disengage they will miss learning some lovely things. More importantly maybe their social skills and work skills plus insight overall will suffer. I feel this is at a crisis point in New York and Chicago and I feel it literally makes America weak bc it makes us stupid. I saw a lot of this in New York and Chicago. Because thought generally follows feelings I’m really worried about this sort of antisocial crap poisoning people intellectually. Sorry. Big rant. All I meant was in general British ppl seem to expect their kids to engage and to use manners as a tool to facilitate that. They seem to just take it for granted but it’s a huge wealth of skills really. We don’t have anyone like Princess Catherine here and I think she’s such an inspiration.
Rest in Peace my Queen. You will be the Queen for Ever. May God keep your Spirit close to him.❤
I’m an American. Texas is my home state. I love my country and have been an anglophile most of my life.
My Mom went to England & Scotland in ‘88. i went with her in ‘89. I look nothing like her. When she came home she mentioned how while in London prople would smile at her, and be most polite. They would stare at her. We all thought it was because she was a foreigner, and were drawn to her sweet smile, and disposition. She was a pretty lady too. When she & i went in ‘89 i witnessed this behavior too.
I finally figured out why people reacted to her, and it’s because she looked like she could be a close relative of Her Majesty.
Mom had black hair, white, smooth skin, and lots of teeth showing when she smiled. She even wore her hair like The Queen.
She was in her mid 60’s, and very fit. She was always well dressed, but nothing too ornate.
They were polite to me, but Mom was their focus. i look at my pics from that trip and see the resemblance. 😁
Her Majesty was truly one of a kind. She brightened my life throughout the years. A kind soul, amazing leader and strong woman. I miss her every day.
I think I'll ask for this played at my funeral, this and Amazing Grace, such beautiful songs. We had a piper at my father's funeral. My ancestors were related to the kings of Scotland, so the Queen was my very very distant cousin. My aunt looked just like her! Many people commented how the Queen Mother looked like my Grandma, esp. back in the 1940's. Thanks for this song video!
Beautifully done. ❤
