I am an American, of mid-60's age. My whole life (until last year) HM Queen Elizabeth II was THE QUEEN. As a teenager I began my journey as a history major. In my studies, I always put QEII before any other world leaders (even of my own nation). Years ago I was fortunate enough to visit The UK & Europe, & walk in some of her footsteps. She had the wonderful ability to laugh @ herself. Like the pink outfit she once wore w/a hat full of cherries, silly, yes, but you instantly knew who was under those cherries! When she passed I was inconsolable. I shed more tears for her than for my own family. Thank you for posting this speech, it brings back many happy memories.

Eu também chorei muito , pois desde que eu nasci, Elizabeth era a Rainha. Para mim ela era eterna.❤
Agreed! I am 51 and even though American, she was always "my" Queen until 2022. @@veracierakowski3706
Our Founding Fathers REJECTED the old English monarchy and out of respect for those men, ALL Americans need to REJECT it as well.
A Cult of Personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods to create an idealized, and at times, a 'god-like' and a 'goddess-like' public image, through Unquestioning Flattery and Praise.
( Deceased Elizabeth II, Charles, William, Anne, Camilla, Kate and the remaining representatives )
The old English monarchy is a CULT - LIKE institution with a very bad history.
What is a CULT-?
The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader.
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged.
The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act and feel.
The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader and members.
The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
The leader is extremely protected and does not give interviews.
The leader is not held accountable to any authority.
Unquestioning adulation is expected from the followers.
Characteristics of a CULT.
The Leadership Dictates, Sometimes In Great Detail, How Members Should Think, Talk, Act and Feel.
Examples:-
When Elizabeth was alive the following rules had to be obeyed.
When the queen stands, you must stand.
Bow or curtsy as she approaches.
Only shake her hand if she shakes your hand first.
Do not wear sunglasses outdoors if you are near her.
Never address her by her first name.
Only address her as your so-called majesty.
Never initiate a conversation with her.
She always takes the lead.
She always walks ahead of everyone else.
Her 'husband' always had to walk two paces behind her.
Never walk in front of her.
You wait for her, she never waits for you.
Never turn your back on her.
Never leave an event before her.
Selfies are forbidden. Never start eating before her.
The wearing of fur is not allowed.
Never continue eating after she has finished.
Keep the conversation 'light'.
No personal questions about herself.
Females must never sit with their legs crossed at the knee.
When the royal family is part of a procession, they must enter and be seated in the order of precedence, which is essentially the order of who’s next in line to the so-called throne.
The so-called royals aren’t allowed to give out autographs.
Mrs Windsor was required to use her purse to send subtle social signals.
When she placed her purse on the table at dinner, it meant it was time to wrap things up-so consider the bite you lifted must be your last.
She was required to spend her time speaking to the person on her right for the first course, and then engage in conversation with the guest on her left for the second.
The so-called English royals are not allowed to give autographs.
Parliamentarians are not allowed to discuss the monarchy.
The old English monarchy has a bad history and the following words would apply to it.
Anachronistic, Racist, Incest, Adultery, Immorality, Tyranny, Brutality, Genocide, Slavery, Theft,
Dysfunctional, Aloof, Extremely Secretive, Irrelevant, Suffocating Formality, Abnormal and a Prison - Like Lifestyle.
Edward's and Simpson's allegiance to Hitler. Andrew / Epstein and Charles / Jimmy Savile.
Diana's arranged / forced marriage to Charles and his horrible treatment of her.
Philip and his affairs. Anne divorced. Randy divorced . Charles divorced. Camilla divorced.
There is not much family stability with these people and they are a poor representation of a cohesive family.
The obsessed monarchy cult followers say that the monarchy provides stability but they dont explain how it does that with regards to this family.
Henry VIII divorced two of his wives and the other one was BEHEADED-!
Charles II executed-!
Hanged, Drawn and Quartered.
The "drawing" part actually comes first and it involves the convict being tied to a type of sled that's "drawn" or dragged behind a horse all the way from the prison to the gallows. Then he was hung by a rope tied from the gallows and around his neck. After a few terrifying minutes of near-asphyxiation, the rope was cut and the man fell down. Then his penis and testicles were cut off, his bowels were pulled out, his heart was cut out and all were burned before him in a fire. Next, his abdomen was slit open from groin to sternum. His head was severed from his body and his body cut into four quarters to be disposed of at the king's pleasure. The body parts were then taken on a publicity tour and distributed to the surrounding towns as a warning to those who would challenge the authority of the king. One of the main reasons for doing all of this was to demonstrate the absolute power of the monarchy.
Burning at the Stake was another awful way to be killed.
Britain has a monarchical kind of government and it had five Prime Ministers in a short period of six years.
Northern Ireland was without a functioning government for a period of two years.
The monarchy representatives and THE OBSESSED FOLLOWERS claim that the monarchy provides stability for a government but they do not explain how it achieves the so-called stability.
The so-called monarchy cult representatives, ( Charles etc ) are supposed to be apolitical and have no power and most certainly do not keep politicians in check.
That is done by the voters. So in reality, the citizens have more power than the monarchy cult representatives.
If you think otherwise, then when was the last time royal assent was denied-?
PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THIS OLD CULT.
She was one of a kind and no one will ever match her
No one.
Je trouve toujours extrêmement difficile de croire que Sa Majesté la reine Élisabeth II n’est plus là - elle était comme la meilleure amie de tout le monde.
D accord.
…….and Mother
I am an American 🇺🇸 and I sadly Miss 👑 Queen Elizabeth she was one of a kind, Irreplaceable 🇬🇧🇲🇫
Je la manque 😢
Vraiment
Her late majesty will never be forgotten. She was a true blessing for her country and the whole world! May she rest in peace. 🙏🌹
None is as majestic as she.
Yes, no one.
The past rivalry between Britain and France was on for centuries. This rivalry was replaced with friendship after the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at the battle of Waterloo in 1815. since the mid 19th century i think relationship has been ROCK SOLID.
The late British monarch her majesty Queen Elizabeth II made five(5) state visits to France and some unofficial visits to France. In same vein French Presidents made several state visits during her 70 years reign. She also spoke French fluently and so does her son his majesty King Charles III.
Just today the 8th of April 2024, a regiment of the French military marched alongside the King's guards at Buckingham palace.
God bless his majesty King Charles III and heal him completely from this cancer ailment.
As a foreigner i admire the relationship between Britain and France. 🇬🇧🇫🇷.
God bless your countries.
Greetings from Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬.
What a truly lovely post. Thank you.
Vive Napoleon, a man like no other!
To those gentlemen who have to walk backwards the length of the room in front of the Queen and French President, I held my breath.
I know they practice so nobody gets hurt but it's never easy to walk backwards and these two gentlemen were outstanding.
They had my full attention and support.
Respectfuly presented.
I too found that extremely difficult
👏
Please forgive me for my ignorance but why were they walking backwards like that? I do miss Queen Elizabeth!! I am still not over her death. No disrespect to King Charles III whatsoever but no one can fill her shoes.
Charles doesn't deserve respect he killed the future Queen, Diana😢
@@jeanpalumbo3411 Bollocks
@@crmay72 when “in the presence” of Her (now late) Majesty, it is a matter of Court Protocol to never show one‘s back to her. The same will apply at the Court of King Charles III.
The two gentlemen in question were The Lord Chamberlain and The Master of the Household.
May the blessed soul of Her Majesty and HRH, Prince Phillip rest in perfect and glorious peace. ❤❤
😊🙏
The Queen is wearing the Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia's tiara.....even though she was only 5 feet 4 inches tall...she could wear any amount of jewellery and look so natural and beautiful!
As a former colonist in America....miss her.
I'm no fan of the royal family in general. But she was a great Queen.
I miss her too !!!
I miss her too.
Too bad there is no more French King
Diana was merely a princess and she was more of a queen than Elizabeth was.
Been a while since you’ve uploaded a classic/flashbak H.M Queen Elizabeth II state visit video, loved it❤ more like this please itn👍🏻😁
Miss her so much!
Miss Queen Elizabeth she had so much honor and respect also a great sense of humor love her and miss her so much
This video is a very warm tribute to our beloved and dearly missed heads of state: Her Majesty the Queen, His Majesty Prince Philip, His Excellence President Jaques Chirac
Small correction. Prince Philip was addressed as His Royal Highness, never as His Majesty.
A nice classy moment amongst the hurly-burly of youtube. Thank you.
You are welcome.
Miss our late gracious Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11. May she rest in eternal peace alongside Prince Philip.🙏
Today marks three (3) years since HRH prince Philip the duke of Edinburgh passed.
He was a grand old man, just 2 months shy of his 100th birthday when he passed on Friday 9th April 2021.
May God bless the souls of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
Queen Elizabeth II is a very hard act to follow. She truly was chosen by God. I cannot say the same for all other monarchs, but I pray the future King William will be just like his unforgettable Grandmother. ❤😢😢😢
Our current king, Charles III will prove to be an excellent king.
Anne is very elegant here
Gorgeous, gorgeous, queenly gown with embroidered golden bows! 🎀🥂✨ Queen Elizabeth looked superb! Her solemnity is fascinating. Regal! Miss you, Queen Elizabeth, your son is a fine king! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Gracias por compartir tan hermoso recuerdo, por siempre para mí ella será la Reina y con ella se terminó todo . La extraño
Nobody will ever wear those jewels as she did.......RIP
I love these videos ❤
I love her gold purse! ❤
Yes.. wow!
Saudades da Grande Rainha.... ❤
I know Queen Elizabeth had a wicked sense of humor...it was good to see her and Prince Philip together in their prime but I did specifically click on this for the "funny"
Thank you, for this recall
I miss everyday.I remember her coronation when I was 5 yrs old and thought she was the most beautiful Queen I had ever seen.RIP Mamm😥🇬🇧💔
Miss so much Prince Phillip’s sense of Humour! He was unique!
🤔 Well said. Merci! Cheers!
P.S. Pass the *French* wine 🍷 and/or Champagne 🥂!‼️
This is the first time I have ever seen her wear this tiara. It’s beautiful on a beautiful Queen.
We need constancy, the Queen exemplified this for so many, she lived alongside us through our history of 70+ years, war and peace, she was a constant.
The gen of MM have never watched loved ones go to war, die on the battlefield. Fix a bayonet in the ground to hang the hat of a dead mate and have to carry on to battle.. MM should hang her head in shame to not respect a woman who has lived through so much with Grace & Dignity to offer this constant to those who have suffered.
The greatest professional of the throne of contemporary days.
That was wonderful to see this historical moment
I miss her 😢
I wish Charles had this type of regal presence. Maybe he will grow into it. She is just a tough act to follow.
Beautiful, Majestic, Lovely 🌹 Queen of the Cosmos ❤
When King Edward Vllth went through The Parisian Streets, the crowd shouted and spat at him. His confidence was such that he wasn't shaken by it. He was wanting to see his actress friend.
By the time he left, the French were cheering him.
@@stirlingmoss9637 , I'm really glad to know this.
Bravo! ❤
He was very much a francophile and was one of the main architects of the Entente Cordiale.
(And he had very many "actress friends" in Paris - one of the tradtitional perks of being born royal, it seems!)
She'll be back.
Her Majesty is sorely missed by all. We will never be forgotten ❤❤❤❤🇦🇺🦘🐨❤️💐
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤💯😢
well done your majesty for not mentioning the war, where the french jibbed it if you remember . A much missed monarch who gave great dignity to Britain
Què hi fa, aquest senyor gran caminant de recules?
Jasus eating with gloves.
Nice speech, but funny???
That dress is hideous lol. But what a tremendous woman, leader, and example she was.
Ok but where was the funny in this ? I did FF a part where she seemed to be taking a tour or something but ...did I miss the comedic part ?
The funny was when the queen mentioned that England and France was not always so friendly, but always respectable, and Prince Philip gave a little laugh😊
It's funny in speeches the English go on about being allied to a nation for centuries. But Scotlands 's allies are never mentioned, i.e France. It does sau Anglo which means English, it should read British French. So much for an 'equal union', it's only only equal when the English want it to be.
Scotland has become a joke, your current (Pakistani ) PM and his cabinet are disgrace , not to mention shameful laws
France and England have been chamions of human freedom4 centuries? they had colonies in the 70s
The UK outlawed the African slave trade in the 1830s and sent royal navy warships to prevent other nations continuing the trade. It cost us dear in lost naval lives and our government didn't finish paying the slavers families until 2015. We didn't start the slave trade, we finished it.
As for the colonies many if them now form a free trading community called the commonwealth. It is a voluntary organisation and they are free to leave, they choose to stay.
Freedom doesn’t = independence. You can be a loyal free subject as so many millions were for both the british and French empires. People act like colonies were treated like slave labour, they weren’t.
@@ehilton96Britain abolished the slave trade within its Empire in 1807 but not Slavery itself within the Empire until the 1830's. The slave trade and slavery continued in the United States and other European Empires long after this time.
The Royal Navy which had been built for the protection of British colonial interests, including Slaving vessels and had been principally paid for by British slave owning interests for the protection of their 'property' and products had for two hundred years been directly involved in the mass industrialisation of the slave trade both within and without the Empire.
When the Royal Navy did get redeployed to curtail the slave trade they abandoned thousands of 'rescued' slaves on St Helena where thousands died of starvation and disease and many more were offered indentured servitude in the US or simply re-enslaved by American slave traders and taken to the plantations in the Southern US. British owned and crewed vessels continued to participate in the slave trade long after its abolition.
It's all well and good crowing about Britain being one of the first European nations to abolish the slave trade but you can't gloss over the context that Britain had previously been the key player in the slave trade. It's like celebrating someone for putting out a fire that 5 minutes previously they'd been pouring petrol on.
And yes it did take until 2015 for the UK to finish paying the debt incurred compensating the slave owners. Yes that's right. The slave OWNERS. Not the slaves. Not the people who had been ripped from their homeland and transported half way across the world to be worked to death. No not them, they got nothing.
Abolishing the slave trade and the practice of slavery was an admirable achievement but it does not assuage the guilt or absolve the crimes committed under the flag of the British Empire.
@@unoriginal_username1 Some were. Some weren't. Colonialism and exploitation are not a million miles apart as many can testify.
But IS it funny?
Then Brexit. Less trade and UK is alone as Putin wanted.
😿
Oh, give it a rest. "Britain alone", what utter nonsense. We survived over 300 years without needing to be part of a would be EU Empire. And during that time, while we had stable, Democratic governance, of course, literally creating the modern world, and building a huge Empire, Europe was in a constant state of war and disorder. With Britain more than once having to help rescue them from their own stupidity. Today, it is quite possible to have friendly relations between any and all of our fellow Europeans, without sacrificing our long cherished independence and national sovereignty. And it appears that increasing numbers of said European nations are also beginning to reject the diktats of the ever more authoritarian Brussels bureaucrats.
Got out at the right time. The EU is not what it was then. It has become an unelected, unaccountable, totalitarian, socialist dictatorship.

As an Indian never miss any one from the palace in uk, never forget the history of our independence and the murders of our people and the massacre at Jallianwala bath. The massacre at partition’s also responsible of the rule by queen and the uk government. The day the monarchy is removed the day will be India biggest revenge.

Well uk does not have any right to talk of human rights in india or else where
