A Real Royal Love Story 😍
I'm touched with the kindness and generosity of the common people for this wedding.
My grandmother had lived though 5 monarch, starting with Victoria and ending with Queen Elizabeth the second. The history she had lived though and what she had seen amazes me.
She would have lived through 4 not 5
5 is right victoria,Edward 7-george 5-edward 8th-george the 6th-Elizabeth 2, but you dont count in a way Edward 8th since he gave up the thorn.
Same for my grandfather. from no radio to the moon landing. He almost made it to cell phones. So much in their lives. I didn't even have a cell phone until I was an adult. The moon landing is my first memory because I was the youngest. I was 3 years of age, but I had much older siblings and it was HUGE in our home.

I remember as a little girl being taken to see the then Princess Elizabeth's wedding dress which toured the country after the wedding. The post-war years were terribly drab: bomb sites, rationing of clothes and food, shortages of fuel etc. so the sight of this beautiful dress, sparkling with crystals, subtly lit in a glass case, was utterly breathtaking - the sort of dress that I had seen only in pictures of fairy princesses in my story books - a wonderful memory.
You were lucky to have met her she was already an old lady by the time i was born and i didn't have an opportunity to meet her
The way they looked at each other said it all. Such a lovely couple.
How wonderful there were people still around to interview for this. Also, so many people who had something to do with this were 19, lol
the older people on the wedding probably are not with us anymore
@@200555280 Indeed, it looks like the only one of the older ones still alive is Lady Pamela Mountbatten
@@200555280 Prince Michael of Kent is still alive.
My parents were married that same year in July. My father had served in WWII also. They are both gone now but we still celebrate their anniversary with photos and memories. It was an extraordinary time in history.
Hello
How are you doing today?
My father shares a birthday with Queen Ellizabeth II. I always remember when it is LOL. He served in the RCAF as a mechanic
Here in America we call them the greatest generation. They were.
Rest In Peace 🥺!!! End of a era
Now she’s gone too
I do wish they would make it clear to people that Elizabeth did not PAY for her dress with coupons. That idea has gotten hold, especially here in the states, among people who know very little history. I see often on programs that the princess was so frugal that she paid for her dress with coupons. Of course, one paid for the items one bought, but had to produce ration coupons to give you Permission to purchase an item. The coupons did not take the place of cash. It was indeed a beautiful dress, and the details were in the embroidery scalloped down the flared skirt.
I just watched the youtube video about her wedding, the dress etc and they explained she did not use coupons for her wedding dress. It was very clear.
I heard that woman in the uk were donating some of their own coupons to queen Elizabeth to help her get the dress .
@@annaverano5843 They sent her their ration coupons but those were returned. She must have been well loved by the people. She saved up her own coupons. Some think the coupons were instead of cash, (like the old S&H Green Stamps) but the coupons had to be presented as well as the usual cash.
She did not use the people's coupons, she used her own
I love the Queen. Such a wonderful generation of people, I'm so sad they're leaving us.
i like that The Queen was held in such high regard even as a princess that people from all over, from all walks of life, were willing to give what little THEY had in order for the princess to "have her day" with all the trimmings of a wedding day. THAT'S really cool and the kind of character that could be found.....back in the day.
Not in today's society.
It’s too bad that the younger generation of royals could not live a pristine life just like their grandmother HRH AND THEIR mother so proudly modeled for them throughout Her Majesty modeled for them her entire life!!!!
A Real Live Affair! Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip will always love & support each other and respect duty to the U.K. and the all the people of the Realm. 🇺🇸🙏🇬🇧
Love Affair ❤️ please forgive my typing.

Prince Philip shows the world how a man should treat their woman, royal prince really different from the others
You know prince Philipp and queen Elizabeth were 2 & 3rd cousins
Watching the day after Prince Philips funeral, so sad they are currently parted!

Hello Michelle

8:57 Winston Churchill was not Prime Minister in 1947, Clement Attlee was.
Rest In Peace Her Majesty The Queen. Together in the heavens again. Long live The King.
Thank You for the most interesting film, very nice.
Beautiful
Rest In Peace Dear Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip 💂🏼♀️👸🌹🌹🤴💂🏼♀️
So awesome; something bringing a whole nation and Commonwealth together!
Rest in peace Queen 👑:) 😭
I struggle to cut a gorgeous cake of these days knowing how much time and work went into it! I could not have even gone near this cake as I'd be too worried to damage it!
Absolutely spectacular video!🤩 Big thumbs up for the team behind this hardwork❤️
I like the Queen dress!👸🤴💖💝💌👗🛍🦄
Prince Philip used a diamond stone from his mother Tiara for QEII wedding ring.....very creative and special🌹
Cake boss Buddy has left the chat
I wish they hadn't omitted exactly how the cake was assembled and how it would have been assembled in 1947. There must have been some serious supports in each layer.
Hello Virginia
How are you doing today?
You served this giant cake to a ginormous room filled with senior citizens? Insulin here I come 😨🤦♀️

Princess Elizabeth's bouquet did not vanish. She, as was and is, tradition, lay it on the tomb of the unknown soldier.
The Wedding bouquet was 'misplaced after the actually wedding'. They even re-took some of the wedding pictures later as she didn't have her bouquet in the pictures. ❤️It's all shown on the youtube video. It even shows her posing without the bouquet which was clearly awkward to her & everyone. Then it showed them posing to retake some pictures when the replacement bouquet arrived during their Honeymoon. They returned & retook pictures. The original Wedding bouquet that she carried down the aisle was NEVER located. The video is great. It even showed how the bouquet was made and all the different flowers & how they were arranged & held on & together. All her flowers were actually grown within British Aisles. It had Orchids, Myrtle & more. The Video on CZcams called: How Post War Britain Shaped The Queen's Wedding is so interesting. Worth the watch. ❤️ I think they've had backup bouquets since for some brides. I didn't catch who though.
Diana started that tradition.
@@melylamash No. It was Queen Elizabeth ii's mother.
@@cindywillis8923 The have back up bouquets for every royal bride now, so that this mistake of the bouquet going missing doesn't happen again.
Someone absolutely took it, no doubt. Sounds like just the sort of item a young girl would prize. The bouquet that was placed on the Queen's casket after her death, included sprigs of myrtle from her personal garden. That myrtle was from her wedding bouquet - the replacement one, I am guessing.
I’m watching in T20 four may
Is the Fruitcake Brick🧱 not a Running Gag in the UK?🇬🇧
Now I Really want to Try some UK Fruitcake😋
It depends on the recipe it can be very light or heavy like a brick, the idea is to use preserved fruit upto and after late spring to summer
One error in the commentary in 1947 Clement Atlee was Prime Minister, Winston Churchill was Leader of the Opposition
How did one even began to cut the cake. Did you cut from top down or from bottom up?
I would love to see Kate in one of her Hartnell dresses. These dresses are timeless and most exquisite.
Absolutely GORGEOUS cake!! 💯 commend the original cake designer and decorators (as well as the recreation team)-but-fruit cake-FRUIT CAKE??
Lol, well, all I have to judge a fruit cake from is the bricks that get passed around during Christmas, which looked, nor smelled appealing
I agree about the Fruitcake. That is usually given to someone at Christmas in which whoever received it gave it to someone else. I think that is what the British have for wedding whereas I am used to the Bakery cake made with yellow layer cake layer and white cream icing. Just delicious.
Prince Philip's mother didn't exactly SACRIFICE her tiara, I don't think. She was already a Greek Orthodox nun by that stage, so she wouldn't have been wearing the tiara ever again anyway. They take vows of poverty, like the Roman Catholic and Anglican nuns all used to. She probably gave it to her son with a great deal of love, that it would be carried on in a new way. This was a spectacular show!

Looking at the crowd, they're all in such drab colors--olive, brown, gray...
The British needed a bright splash of color on their road.
"She looked as happy as Larry"
o mi golly
You're forgetting this was only 2 years after WWII,so buying expensive clothes would have been the last thing on their minds.

Lady Myra Butter. That has to be the most English name I've ever heard. Also, I had a laugh at the interviewer feeling badly for Princess Alice giving up one of her diamonds out of her tiara for Queen Elizabeth's wedding ring. Lmao. I don't think she was wearing her tiara in the mental hospital. He didn't sound too impressed by the fact that the ring was 3 carats lol

@@cureforintroversion1262 how interesting! Thank you 😊
I just want to live and die at an old age

So sad Philip has gone.
4 months today he went too early. I miss him a lot
........
29:22 WHAT IN THE WORLD is that the boys are wearing on their front belt? 🙈🙊👀
It's a traditional Scottish outfit. Kilt and sporran.
The Queen's life of service should remind everyone of the huge, tangible power for peace and stability the British monarchy is for everyone in Britain, the commonwealth and for the world. In the 19th & 20th centuries the U.S.A, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Greece suffered in various ways civil wars, political storms, and dictatorships. This shows what can go wrong in the absence of a head of state which is above politics, which opposes illegal dictatorship and helps keep the peace. If there are many reasons England, Wales, Scotland, Canada and Australia, have had no civil war since Culloden in 1746, having a constitutional monarchy is an important one.
Of course the Queen & Prince Philip had their failings as parents, and Prince Philip could be tactless. Whatever mistakes the royal family have made, let us be grateful for the service he gave, and the difference the monarchy makes for the better, in everybody's lives.
3:50 Prince Philip's 3rd cousin through Tsar Nicholas I of Russia
I have disliked DIANA'S dress from day one!
I agree. It was an 80s monstrosity.
As well you should. Dressmakers and seamstresses the world over were horrified at the designer's choicenof taffeta. If you recall all those *wrinkles* in the overskirt of her dress, that was due to the taffeta that was used. Absolutely no one considered that a dress of that size would have to be folded around her in the carriage on the way to the church, and that that material would most definitely wrinkle monstrously. Her veil, earrings and shoes were quite lovely, but her dress suffered another issue that Princess Anne's and Fergie's did - they were designed to be "modern" dresses and so reflected the atrocious style of the time, not one timeless, tried and true line between them. In this manner the dresses have aged terribly.
I'm sorry but I just cannot eat fruitcake. But I'd have LOVED the groom's chocolate cake!
I'm sure with the icing and all the fresh fruit it wasn't like any normal fruitcake but very delicious. Yummy!

THE GREATEST 🇬🇧❤️
O

Truly the GREATEST part of this bygone era, is the fact of there being zero forced societal diversity amongst the People of Great Britain at that time.
This point is most emphatically being the reason GB was so successful & respected as a then, modern society. They aspired to be truly GREAT back then.
Today being so ridiculously "diverse" has utterly tossed their once legendary greatness down the loo...
Beautiful couple but prince Philipp and queen Elizabeth were 2 & 3rd cousins. 2nd cousins through queen Victoria
No they were 3rd cousins through Victoria and 2nd cousins once removed through King Christian IX of Denmark
I heard they were cousins
Yes they were 3rd cousins in the British Royal Family and second cousins once removed in the Danish
What i don't understand is why, in a time where ingredients were in such short supply that they had to be donated and brought in from all over the world, they decided to make a cake that was apparently nearly ten times as big as it needed to be. If it was big enough to feed a thousand people, but they only served a hundred, that's incredibly wasteful, especially when food is being rationed.
Why? It was because of Love, that is why. The Love of the people for their Princess and future Queen. And her love of her people. So many donated and did not expect anything in return except to know their Princess knew of their love for her...and she shows that love by using what her people sent to her for her special day. Had the cake been smaller it would have said she didn't need her people and she knew she would need her people for her entire reign as well as her special day And it was special ..it was special for the rest of her life. I can only feel hopeful that they are once again gazing into each other's eyes like they did that special day when the Future Queen honored her people by using what they so willing gave of themselves. And, not only did she honor that love from her people on that day, she continued to honor her people til the day she left this plane of existence. Her people love her still.
God save the queen !! She is no ....😉
Even worm have nationality 😆
That cake baker must weigh at least 20 stone, if not a bit more.
Good advertising.
I’m an ass. I disliked the dress. I think she lost weight and couldn’t squeeze in another fitting . Otherwise beautiful work !
I don’t know what she saw in him. I never found him to be attractive.
Hello Valerie..
How are you doing today?
Good thing you didn't marry him then, eh? It's not all about looks. Obviously she thought he was attractive inside and out.
@@shannonrickard8605 Yuk…He treated Elizabeth so badly and exactly the way her parents predicted. She should have married Lord Porchester (Prince Andrews father). Look him up.
