I am her majesties subject. I cannot be more prouder to hear 1957's voice and may be the first speech in the English parliament being recorded for the people to watch.......... edit, as much as I love her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the second, now I am the subject of his Majesty king Charles the third, since her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, the second has left the Earth and she's in a better place. May her Majesty rest in peace, and long live the king. God save the King.
Dios salve a la Reina, Isabel II del Reino Unido de la Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte y sus otro dominios.
The narrator couldn't even pronounce Lord Home's name correctly. And he was English! It's pronounced "Hume" not "Home"
Don't forget that Home is a Scottish name...

GOOD WISHES TO "QUEEN MOTHER ELIZABETH".
God save the queen
I like that people are still saying this as if she’s still alive right now. Her legacy remains( dat timing that I searched up her opening of parliament from the 50s in this, was 21 hours ago)
I notice that Prince Philip was sitting off to one side. I wonder when they brought out the Consorts throne?
In 1967 he was provided with a consorts throne.
5:14 A consort’s chair was provided for The Queen’s consort on her left..... Then, after that event the Prince of Wales was provided a throne next to the Sovereign on her right.... The Prince of Wales is second in command to the Sovereign.... The Princess Royal was third in command to the Sovereign, before Prince Willian was born as the heir for the Prince and Princess of Wales.... The Prince of Wales will succeed as Sovereign and his heir Prince William will become the Prince of Wales.... The Duchess of Cambridge will become the Princess of Wales and her first born daughter will receive the title as Princess Royal after the death of Princess Anne who is the present Princess Royal.
Prince Philip was only made a British prince in the year this speech was made
