Princess Anne seems like such an exceptionally hard worker. It's a shame she won't inherit the throne, she seems to embody the principles of her mother more than her siblings do
I thoroughly enjoyed this 5 part documentary. Fascinating look into what goes on behind the scenes. I don't envy their rigid schedules and public scrutiny. Kudos to the younger royals for transitioning the monarch into the modern era.
Some people who claim they don't believe in a monarchy probably would blush in the Queen's presence because she is so delightful. Also I think a lot of people don't realize how truly busy she really is. I've watched the first 4 of these and now I'm about to watch the last .. I have really enjoyed this series .
@@lauchzwiebel The monarchy is the best thing that can happen to Britons 1. You will say, "The monarchy costs taxpayers money." No, the monarchy is actually financed from the crown estate. (Net income £312.7m (2022)) The Crown Estate ( since 1053) is a collection of lands and holdings in the United Kingdom belonging to the British monarch as a corporation sole, making it "the sovereign's public estate", which is neither government property nor part of the monarch's private estate Historically, Crown Estate properties were administered by the reigning monarch to help fund the business of governing the country. However, in 1760, George III surrendered control over the Estate's revenues to the Treasury, thus relieving him of the responsibility of paying for the costs of the civil service, defense costs, the national debt, and his own personal debts. In return, he received an annual grant known as the Civil List. Since 1 April 2012, under the terms of the Sovereign Grant Act 2011 (SSG), the Civil List was abolished and the monarch has been provided with a stable source of revenue indexed to a percentage of the Crown Estate's annual net income (currently set at 25%) This includes state visits and receptions, maintenance of the palaces and palaces and the royal collections, etc. and that means the government gets 75% for the state budget. If these Crown Estate belonged to the government, they would have been sold long ago to fill a short-term budget hole. There's the cost of security, yeah - for each president who is only 4-8 years in office, there would also be costs, plus salary. 2. the king/queen is not elected by the people, true, but the president is not used directly by the people but by the respective party, the king is completely neutral, the president is not

The total cost of 67 million GPB for 2019 is shockingly low. Factoring in the that the cost is carried by the entire country and the benefit of them creating millions in donations for charities makes keeping the status quo a no brainer. As a country you're essentially investing a small amount (in the grand scheme of things) to gain a lot - other countries simply don't have such an asset.
It's a little complicated really, as the Queen surrenders all income gained from the Crown Estate each year to the Government (about £400 million), and the Royal Family's "wage" is set at 25% of the money the Queen hands over to the Government (plus their own private incomes as some of them have other private businesses - but she/they pay tax on that), meaning that the people/the Government actually gain a yearly profit from the Queen. So by putting some money into her state activities, it is (sort of potentially) enabling her to do her "job" and thereby in turn helping the country earn money from the Crown Estate. It might sound a little long winded, but it's not as bad as simply throwing money at the Royal Family as a lot of people assume is happening.
Well I'm an Indian and I don't think you should weight this in terms of money. The whole system I believe can put together Britain and it's society like anything. They can be symbolic but it's good have living symbols than dead paintings, forts and historical items.
I had very different views about British monarchy before this documentary. I just looked at hierarchy and Prince William Harry Diana and all their relations. The Image that you see from Google search results and from the inside with people's reactions to the system hit differently. The system is amazing. Every country needs history and every society needs someone whom everybody respects from PM to local guy. History pages, forts, swords are history but such a monarchy is a living history. It does everything that history does and binds people together. I wish even India has a system where President plays more role
The people who wants to remove the queen should look at the financial aspect. The queen brings in almost seven times the amount of money that she receives. If England would remove the monarch it would cost them way more and you can’t really figure the complete cost because of tourist.
Prince William's strong facial resemblance to his mother Princess Diana is absolutely amazing! His personality & charisma is so in tuned to becoming a future king. I am incredibly impressed at his persona as he speaks to the formerly homeless guy near the beginning of this video. Great job Prince William! About 24 minutes into this video, I'm also very excited to be seeing & hearing from Princess Anne & Prince Edward. I'm so loving these British accents! Finally, thank you for covering the work of all of the Queen & Prince Phillip's children in this video. She definitely will be a formidable act to follow. Job well done!
Prince Edward's wife Sophie is also said to be a delightful lady. She and the Duchess of Cambridge share a very close friendship. It would be amazing to spend an afternoon with both women, sipping tea and chatting about anything and everything. William and Edward chose quite well. 😃🇬🇧
William resembles Diana for sure. His personality seens more like Charles - and maybe that's from training to become King one day. Harry seems more like Diana in personality, in my opinion.
I think she is one awesome woman and considering she has been at it for almost 70 years now well she is doing a great job I think the only misstep I can say I have ever seen was when Diana died but even that she was right in Diana was no longer Princess nor a part of the royal family.
I am a teacher and I know youth. Due to inexperience their actions can have tragic consequences. That young man who doubts the monarchy does not know much yet...
Agreed, It's HIS youthful ignorance and lack of life experience that's being displayed, rather than any shrewd appraisal of the monarchy's function...(or lack thereof..)
Your Nanna, fault of an old brain perhaps!? On a more serious note, giving to charity isn't a business. It also requires a long term commitment that will need a lot of financial support. So putting all their money in all their charities wouldn't be a wise choice. Contributing their time is better than financially supporting them on their own. If they were to directly put the money for each of their causes instead of using their royal status to raise the funds for their charities, bc they have many charities, at this point, they would be so broke that they would need charity themselves! You don't need to be rich to donate money or other wise to charities for those who are less fortunate than yourself/ves. In addition, they know super rich people, who would be willing to contribute a lot. That's why they do it that way. You wouldn't want to do good if it requires spending every cent you have. Would you do that???

They all raise money for nonprofits, bring awareness to issues the economy of all in the Commonwealth and supportive of military issues and other countries supporting their issues and brining attention there etc. They bring fame and attention to all her countries and power very important something other countries don't have that are not part of her. I see the value of them focusing on these issues maintaining the power of England etc. I love the history the queen knows and the wisdom she can give concerning issues to the P.M.
Duke of Gloucesters' brother is who Prince William is named for. Terribly sad story of his untimely death and the secret love he too was forced to give up.
In hindsight, I am not sure if when talking about Prince Andrew, that he would want to explain the virtues of Prince Andrew in relation to Prince Andrew's skill in developing networks. As we all now know what sort of networks were of particular interest to Prince Andrew. The less said, the better.
As an American I would LOVE a democratic monarchy for .63 a YEAR! Stop complaining these people are making huge difference in Britain’s name in NUMEROUS charities, they are diplomats, and just great reminders of history. There is nothing in our country that is that valuable AND that affordable!! Unbelievable!
My Opinion Matters Hon it’s not affordable; it costs billions of our tax payers money to keep the Royals.. whilst we have homeless, a failing NHS and working families going to food banks.
LightDweller it's all a matter of perspective, if you look at how much your taxes are going towards the royal family it doesn't appear to be that much based on what they're saying. If that is the cost per year, if I could have a group of people who were putting out that much energy towards positive groups and actually having a positive look on the world and a continued stable force while the eb & flow of Change that comes with voting democratically I would love it! Specifically in the United States right now we could use something with more stability! The grass is always greener, both for me and for people who are anti-their own Royalty. But I would tell you, if both my wife and I could transfer to England tomorrow with our jobs we would.
My Opinion Matters That's a wonderful perspective and a very heartwarming one. I guess, as with every institution there is an underbelly that cultivates less desirable dealings that are not common knowledge, and which the public are not privy to. We as a public never have the full picture, it's mostly airbrushed, the Royals are historically corrupt, but with a good public appearance. That said, your comment/perspective has made me pause for thought, with thanks.
LightDweller respect for taking pause. Sometimes social media post turn into one sided rants...I have really made an effort to not do that to be more approachable online. But Approachable is a 2 way street, if the other person isn’t open to a different point of view (not necessarily having their mind changed) then it’s often a pointless conversation from the beginning.
@@lightdweller1 In the Unites States and other countries, there are paid spokespersons , chairmen and chairwomen, CEO, CFO ,and Presidents of most charities, which are all paid jobs and it cuts into from the amount received from donations, that is spent on those served from these charities. They serve as diplomats around the world and around Great Britain. No President, or Prime Minister travels around their country or their territories/Commonwealth as frequently as the royal family and the Queen have, and to serve, acknowledge, and engage with healthcare professionals, firefighters. the Police, the Military , and those who serve the British public.
that guy on the counter who says he doesn't know what the royal family does and that they don't serve a purpose needs to be educated. and oh yes poor closed-minded guy, he doesn't know what his leaders do for him and his country. I'm fascinated by this family, they don't really have a choice but to carry out these many duties for the country, I just hope they are truly happy in closed doors.
Before half-way I found myself thinking that - sooner rather than later - the FAMILY might want to allow & very actively participate in, perhaps a year long, weekly broadcasted in-depth, “A Week in the Lives of” Series about what, how & why they so contribute and in many aspects LEAD this nation? Just a thought. After all, look at the politicians... just about everywhere. Subbed.
good to see Nicholas Witchell or ` these bloody people- I cant bear that man` as Charles said of him. Like Jenny Bond who liked to give the impression that she and the Queen often took tea together- until the Queen was heard to say of her 'it's that awful woman` , career over
hahahhaha LOL 41:05 Is that insulated roof? That's ultimate level of architects boredom. Roofs and ventilation systems, always nice to watch them when you're waiting in supermarket line.
Harry's wife could never be this selflessly bound to honouring a tradition of duty of serving the commonwealth & non profit charities . She wants the perks & accolades without the hard work that the ENTIRE family does for the poor & down trodden
I think she's the female DUMB donnie, EX president. Equally as narcissistic as DUMB donnie TRAITOR- but she's not a sociopath the way diaper donnie is.
I'm generally a fan of the Royal Family, but Prince Andrew just makes me cringe. When that CBI man is pumping up his ego about the mobile phone conference, the way the Duke of York smiles is so cringeworthy, knowing the reports of his corruption.
Prince Charles has improved in leaps and bounds in terms of public and media interaction. He is by nature is shy and sensitive, but has come out of his shell in recent years and come into his own. It’s not fair to compare him to William who is younger and hasn’t had to deal with a hostile press, Charles has acted with dignity and worked hard for the RF without looking for praise. His speeches are second to none.
If I had to vote on who should get the crown after Her Majesty, it would be William or Edward. Both have strong, happy marriages, neither has had a boat load of scandal ruining their reputation, and they're both incredibly down to Earth, in spite of their positions. Anne would be my 3rd option....she is a hard worker, but I fear her personality would be something sensitive people couldn't handle. LOL. Just like her father. Rest peacefully, Prince Phillip!
Prince Edward seems to be the gentler non brusque gentler voiced one of the Queens 4 children Charles and Anne always seemed so brusque and unemotional Andrew well what can you say about him tied up with the Epstein scandal. Mind you he was the best looking one. Do those anti royals know how much money in tourism the RF brings in. It far outweighs what taxpayers contribute. I think Harry would have liked to have remained in the Army for a few more years.
Just goes to show with hindsight the difference between William and Harry. Both lost their mother at a young age, both must must find the press intrusive both walked behind her coffin etc etc. William is not just the older brother but definitely a man compared to a boy. It's all too easy to moan and become a victim, unfortunately Harry has become the eternal victim. Enabled and programmed by his wife and until recently financed by his beleaguered father, that role now in the hands of Netflix, Spotify and Oprah. If Harry were a woman we would call this gaslighting.
Omg if I had a job like this, being chauffeured around, helicoptered around with servants standing behind me to tell me who is who I'd be in heaven. They don't know what real work means. Showing up to open drapes or cut ribbons and make inane smalltalk is not work.
Yeah when the British people have a problem with them I'm sure you will be the first to know. Until then show some respect to a woman who at the age of 90 fucking 1 is still completing civil engagements & has dutifully & flawlessly served the British people for over 60 years!
They are English and they dont know what royalty is about. Out of everyone I think the Windsors have the most to keep up with. Dont disrespect authority. What is coming to the world?
I am not a fan of Prince Charles and understand why people don't want a monarchy with him in charge. Having said that, you love his boys and they had two parents that raised them. Give him some credit.
He happens to be one of the most fabulous out of the group. He genuinely cares about people and the state of the country. He gets a poor wrap because he is a fantastic man. You are right...give him some credit.
What a lesson in sycophancy! The Brits have really mastered that art. They should give lessons on how to be as sycophantic as possible. One never knows - a tax break could be on the cards. A village is missing an idiot who goes by the name of Andy Windsor. Please return if found; it's not his fault. A handsome reward of a new set of golf clubs is on offer.
Jane Doe, I agree with you,what the princess should have said was when you gained your independence.Most unlike Alexandra,she's always been one one of my favourites and very unassuming .
Ok, moments of gold in here: Princess Alexandra 36:52 " You know I know your country?" reply " Do you?" HRH answers " I gave it independence" ( My reply- " Did you ma´am? I rather thought it was the votes of the people that did that. You , madam, hoisted a flag. Hardly the same thing...") 47:08 "The Prince (Andrew) is in Oman for business not pleasure"..Yeah, ´coz for pleasure he has his old mate Jeffrey and 16 yr old girls...OOOps I meant Pizza Express in Woking,..... Prince Philip 52:55 re the Gulf states/the arab world "....look at ´em now, they´re happy, they all get along..."(Thats why you are here, to stop them killing each other) ummm yeah, apart from saudi vs. yemen, iran vs iraq, they all f&$%%ng hate each other wtf planet do these people live on!? The guy at 18:29 who collects all the court circulars....(shhhhh, virgin alert :D) 24:36 Prince Edward being breathtakingly patronising, 34:40 Prince Andrew leering "This is going to be fun" whilst glancing at the woman next to him´s tits...(now, now Andy she isn´t 15, hands off!!) 41:07 Prince Richard being far more interested in the roof insulation than the dance that is being done for him, Prince Philip to a black soldier " How did you get into this? By mistake? ....What was your recruiting office thinking? It was some kind of holiday agency or something?" No words! :D
Yes, Alexandra's chat with the Nigerian gentleman was cringe-inducing. Nigeria is the biggest country in Africa (population-wise); only a totally ignorant person wouldn't have heard of the place. As for "giving it independence", oh Lord 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Wow I thought I followed the monarchy well but I've never heard of the duke of Gloucester or princess Alexandra I'd never be able to point them out in a crowd could be a weird Mandela effect lol or the press really ignores the work of those below 10th in line to the throne lol. It would help if the press covered all the Boring things they do most people would detest it has brought me much solace during times of extreme mental illness thinking I'm sure the queen has woken up some days thinking " I can't face going to Bognor community hall today to see 50 100 yr olds waving paper flags in my face I just can't face it today . It's clear she has a strong resolution so may not think that. But I think the lesser known royals do go through that dread I used to feel Tryin g to convince myself to get out of. Bed every single day. If the press didn't solely portray them as on holiday in every photo it would help show people how much they do for Britain and international trade relations tourism etc for 66p per year per person they're worth it
I know what you mean, I felt the same way about prince Charles, but you can’t hold a grudge forever, and since he has been working hard to support climate change and the British laborers I’m pretty okay with him now
I would absolutely trade the queen for Donald trump. I would not however trade congress for the British parliament or our laws for British laws and tax. They hammer their people down with taxes.
I believe Andrew thinks his brother an idiot for everything he did in his marriage being with Camilla for 1 minute. Howvit ruined so many things for everyone. His continues good relationship with his ex shows class and out shines Charles by a mile.
Debbie Strom if you study the way it all happened. I think Charles is with the person he should always have been with. All sad but I think Charles is very happy.
Why does William not wear his seat belt? Is it not compulsory in England? He is setting a very bad example to all young people. Given his status he should know better. So should his advisors. Plus the driver. Here in Australia if you are the driver & one of your passengers is caught not wearing a seatbelt, the driver, as well as the non belted up passenger are both fined plus the driver receives points on his licence.
I once read that the Royal Family are told not to wear seat belts for security reasons. If there is an attack or something they need to get out of the car as quickly as possible. This won't help them in a crash unfortunately.
I don't think America is built for this kind of stuff...we're not too big on bowing to mere mortals, we show respect or the lack there of via tweets, just ask our tweeter in chief, i don't know which is more embarrassing tbh.
@@Rehtseel O príncipe Charles é uma vergonha. Mesmo sendo deles. Animais não devem ser caçados, quando muito para subexistência., que não é o caso dele. . Ele é a pessoa mais mimada, leviana, insegura e sem noção de seu papel que conheço. Uma pena Diana ter se apaixonado por esse sapo.

Finally, thank you for covering the work of all of the Queen & Prince Phillip's children in this video. She definitely will be a formidable act to follow. Job well done!
Prince Edward's wife Sophie is also said to be a delightful lady. She and the Duchess of Cambridge share a very close friendship. It would be amazing to spend an afternoon with both women, sipping tea and chatting about anything and everything. William and Edward chose quite well. 😃🇬🇧
William resembles Diana for sure. His personality seens more like Charles - and maybe that's from training to become King one day.
Harry seems more like Diana in personality, in my opinion.
I think she is one awesome woman and considering she has been at it for almost 70 years now well she is doing a great job I think the only misstep I can say I have ever seen was when Diana died but even that she was right in Diana was no longer Princess nor a part of the royal family.
I am a teacher and I know youth. Due to inexperience their actions can have tragic consequences. That young man who doubts the monarchy does not know much yet...
Agreed, It's HIS youthful ignorance and lack of life experience that's being displayed, rather than any shrewd appraisal of the monarchy's function...(or lack thereof..)
0:47 Being Royal is a Job for Life... Harry “Fuck this shit I Quit” ✌🏻😂🤷🏻♂️
A job that that you don't retire from! You have to pick your friends wisely!
I don’t understand....the royal family raise multi-millions for the charities..they are worth it.
Your Nanna, fault of an old brain perhaps!? On a more serious note, giving to charity isn't a business. It also requires a long term commitment that will need a lot of financial support. So putting all their money in all their charities wouldn't be a wise choice. Contributing their time is better than financially supporting them on their own. If they were to directly put the money for each of their causes instead of using their royal status to raise the funds for their charities, bc they have many charities, at this point, they would be so broke that they would need charity themselves! You don't need to be rich to donate money or other wise to charities for those who are less fortunate than yourself/ves. In addition, they know super rich people, who would be willing to contribute a lot. That's why they do it that way. You wouldn't want to do good if it requires spending every cent you have. Would you do that???
Don't take any notice of what an American person has to say about English royal family. They don't understand
+Rachelle Chery There speaks a very clever person. I like your reply. Very well said.
Neil O'Neal, people reading this need to understand that you are a drop kick Irishman with a potato where a brain should be.I trust you remain in Kindergarten until mammy collects you,shall we say 30 years from now?.
Neil O'Neal,Your first sentence is anatomically impossible.Back to sex education for you.And don't forget this,if H.M. should be so unfortunate as to meet you,you must Kneel Neil O'Neal!
Here after the interview.
They all raise money for nonprofits, bring awareness to issues the economy of all in the Commonwealth and supportive of military issues and other countries supporting their issues and brining attention there etc. They bring fame and attention to all her countries and power very important something other countries don't have that are not part of her. I see the value of them focusing on these issues maintaining the power of England etc. I love the history the queen knows and the wisdom she can give concerning issues to the P.M.
Duke of Gloucesters' brother is who Prince William is named for. Terribly sad story of his untimely death and the secret love he too was forced to give up.
In hindsight, I am not sure if when talking about Prince Andrew, that he would want to explain the virtues of Prince Andrew in relation to Prince Andrew's skill in developing networks. As we all now know what sort of networks were of particular interest to Prince Andrew. The less said, the better.
As an American I would LOVE a democratic monarchy for .63 a YEAR! Stop complaining these people are making huge difference in Britain’s name in NUMEROUS charities, they are diplomats, and just great reminders of history.
There is nothing in our country that is that valuable AND that affordable!! Unbelievable!
My Opinion Matters Hon it’s not affordable; it costs billions of our tax payers money to keep the Royals.. whilst we have homeless, a failing NHS and working families going to food banks.
LightDweller it's all a matter of perspective, if you look at how much your taxes are going towards the royal family it doesn't appear to be that much based on what they're saying. If that is the cost per year, if I could have a group of people who were putting out that much energy towards positive groups and actually having a positive look on the world and a continued stable force while the eb & flow of Change that comes with voting democratically I would love it! Specifically in the United States right now we could use something with more stability! The grass is always greener, both for me and for people who are anti-their own Royalty. But I would tell you, if both my wife and I could transfer to England tomorrow with our jobs we would.
My Opinion Matters That's a wonderful perspective and a very heartwarming one. I guess, as with every institution there is an underbelly that cultivates less desirable dealings that are not common knowledge, and which the public are not privy to. We as a public never have the full picture, it's mostly airbrushed, the Royals are historically corrupt, but with a good public appearance. That said, your comment/perspective has made me pause for thought, with thanks.
LightDweller respect for taking pause. Sometimes social media post turn into one sided rants...I have really made an effort to not do that to be more approachable online. But Approachable is a 2 way street, if the other person isn’t open to a different point of view (not necessarily having their mind changed) then it’s often a pointless conversation from the beginning.
@@lightdweller1 In the Unites States and other countries, there are paid spokespersons , chairmen and chairwomen, CEO, CFO ,and Presidents of most charities, which are all paid jobs and it cuts into from the amount received from donations, that is spent on those served from these charities. They serve as diplomats around the world and around Great Britain. No President, or Prime Minister travels around their country or their territories/Commonwealth as frequently as the royal family and the Queen have, and to serve, acknowledge, and engage with healthcare professionals, firefighters. the Police, the Military , and those who serve the British public.
that guy on the counter who says he doesn't know what the royal family does and that they don't serve a purpose needs to be educated. and oh yes poor closed-minded guy, he doesn't know what his leaders do for him and his country. I'm fascinated by this family, they don't really have a choice but to carry out these many duties for the country, I just hope they are truly happy in closed doors.
loll I spent my tourist $$ in the UK because of the Royal Family & love the history to boot 🤔
PRAY FOR THE MONARCHY AND THE PEOPLE..
Andrew's hubris is palpable. Seems like a man of fine taste though.
Being royal is a job for life zooms in on Harry 😂. In all seriousness I’m on both teams I love Harry but I also love our queen and most other members
Before half-way I found myself thinking that - sooner rather than later - the FAMILY might want to allow & very actively participate in, perhaps a year long, weekly broadcasted in-depth, “A Week in the Lives of” Series about what, how & why they so contribute and in many aspects LEAD this nation? Just a thought. After all, look at the politicians... just about everywhere. Subbed.
48:54 That feeling that a man next to you with a sharp knife tucked in his robe, LOL
The segment on Prince Andrew hasn’t aged well!
28:10 dude in the back with the party vibes 😂
God bless Princess Diana for raising good boys.
There's definitely a bit of "Alan Partridge" about Prince Edward I think....lol
"I don't see what they do."
Well, that proves they're doing it well.
Andrew over here acting like he isn't a nonce 🤣
That poor man who played the wrong note at the end of the fanfare D:
It was too long of a fanfare. They would do better with less horns. It did make me laugh. I imagine everyone in the room cringing.
Not the easiest on some of the harmonics/notes - they are very close together. It happens.
good to see Nicholas Witchell or ` these bloody people- I cant bear that man` as Charles said of him. Like Jenny Bond who liked to give the impression that she and the Queen often took tea together- until the Queen was heard to say of her 'it's that awful woman` , career over
Oh dear ... in hindsight, things have changed but good to look back to what it used to be
49:39 at his normal blustering, self absorbed best.
28:14 lookin the background 😂
hahahhaha LOL 41:05 Is that insulated roof? That's ultimate level of architects boredom. Roofs and ventilation systems, always nice to watch them when you're waiting in supermarket line.
vivaparenzo I laughed and had secondhand embarrasment for him when I watched him say that! Duhhh!
I LOVE YOU..I LOVE YOU
if you campare to the Franch, 63 cents is hell of bargain
Rule Britannia ! Long Live King Charles III !
Harry's wife could never be this selflessly bound to honouring a tradition of duty of serving the commonwealth & non profit charities . She wants the perks & accolades without the hard work that the ENTIRE family does for the poor & down trodden
He should have never married that American narcissist. (I'm American)
I think she's the female DUMB donnie, EX president. Equally as narcissistic as DUMB donnie TRAITOR- but she's not a sociopath the way diaper donnie is.
Just laughing for the sake of laughing! Reminds me of office work.
The Royals work very hard
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They are a brand , just like Martha Stuart
I'm generally a fan of the Royal Family, but Prince Andrew just makes me cringe. When that CBI man is pumping up his ego about the mobile phone conference, the way the Duke of York smiles is so cringeworthy, knowing the reports of his corruption.
Prince William is so handsome, he's a lot more comfortable in front of the camera than the Prince of Wales
Prince Charles has improved in leaps and bounds in terms of public and media interaction. He is by nature is shy and sensitive, but has come out of his shell in recent years and come into his own. It’s not fair to compare him to William who is younger and hasn’t had to deal with a hostile press, Charles has acted with dignity and worked hard for the RF without looking for praise. His speeches are second to none.
41:03 how awkward 😂😂
I LOVE YOU/ș./
If I had to vote on who should get the crown after Her Majesty, it would be William or Edward. Both have strong, happy marriages, neither has had a boat load of scandal ruining their reputation, and they're both incredibly down to Earth, in spite of their positions. Anne would be my 3rd option....she is a hard worker, but I fear her personality would be something sensitive people couldn't handle. LOL. Just like her father. Rest peacefully, Prince Phillip!
Look at Harry. So miserable. Not. Only misery is his wife ! Shelf he’s ruined his ticket
What is that soldier saying at 54:01?
hi prince andrew
Prince Edward seems to be the gentler non brusque gentler voiced one of the Queens 4 children Charles and Anne always seemed so brusque and unemotional Andrew well what can you say about him tied up with the Epstein scandal. Mind you he was the best looking one. Do those anti royals know how much money in tourism the RF brings in. It far outweighs what taxpayers contribute.
I think Harry would have liked to have remained in the Army for a few more years.
That pregnant lady with prince Charles. Lol.
Andrew doesn't sweat the small stuff
Prince William is going to be a wonderful King someday
To bad he got .messed up with Jerry Do
epsteine he is good at his job!
Not only does he like little girls but he's bit of a dick
Dinah didn't survive ...per Prince of Essex quote.
Just goes to show with hindsight the difference between William and Harry. Both lost their mother at a young age, both must must find the press intrusive both walked behind her coffin etc etc. William is not just the older brother but definitely a man compared to a boy. It's all too easy to moan and become a victim, unfortunately Harry has become the eternal victim. Enabled and programmed by his wife and until recently financed by his beleaguered father, that role now in the hands of Netflix, Spotify and Oprah. If Harry were a woman we would call this gaslighting.
The word value is used to explain away money spent on the royal family. It must have a double or triple meaning because it gets confusing.
"Show me the money!" says "the members of the firm".
- They live of charities, so they cannot retire. -
Mr Gloucester should get a proper job
Omg if I had a job like this,
being chauffeured around, helicoptered around with servants standing behind me to tell me who is who I'd be in heaven. They don't know what real work means. Showing up to open drapes or cut ribbons and make inane smalltalk is not work.
Yeah when the British people have a problem with them I'm sure you will be the first to know. Until then show some respect to a woman who at the age of 90 fucking 1 is still completing civil engagements & has dutifully & flawlessly served the British people for over 60 years!
Charles didn't say that when his first wife was more popular than him!
Incredible schedule they all must take on. No wonder daft Harry escaped - he must not like to work too hard
They are English and they dont know what royalty is about. Out of everyone I think the Windsors have the most to keep up with. Dont disrespect authority. What is coming to the world?
seat belt
I am not a fan of Prince Charles and understand why people don't want a monarchy with him in charge. Having said that, you love his boys and they had two parents that raised them. Give him some credit.
He happens to be one of the most fabulous out of the group. He genuinely cares about people and the state of the country. He gets a poor wrap because he is a fantastic man. You are right...give him some credit.
@@Elizabeth-nl5ui Elizabeth, Well said, I completely agree.
What a lesson in sycophancy! The Brits have really mastered that art. They should give lessons on how to be as sycophantic as possible. One never knows - a tax break could be on the cards. A village is missing an idiot who goes by the name of Andy Windsor. Please return if found; it's not his fault. A handsome reward of a new set of golf clubs is on offer.
The Duke Of Gloucester came off v badly here
36:52 sorry but that comment bugs me. there's got to be a different way to phrase that
Jane Doe, I agree with you,what the princess should have said was when you gained your independence.Most unlike Alexandra,she's always been one one of my favourites and very unassuming .
I agree - independence shouldn't have been ours to 'give'. It was their independence and wealth etc. that we stole in the first place.
@@squid3575 they didn’t even exist as a nation
@@squid3575It’s only your wealth if you can defend it from others. That’s the nature of great power politics on the world stage across history.
27:37 And someone in America said they are racist. Oh dear.
Ok, moments of gold in here: Princess Alexandra 36:52 " You know I know your country?" reply " Do you?" HRH answers " I gave it independence" ( My reply- " Did you ma´am? I rather thought it was the votes of the people that did that. You , madam, hoisted a flag. Hardly the same thing...") 47:08 "The Prince (Andrew) is in Oman for business not pleasure"..Yeah, ´coz for pleasure he has his old mate Jeffrey and 16 yr old girls...OOOps I meant Pizza Express in Woking,..... Prince Philip 52:55 re the Gulf states/the arab world "....look at ´em now, they´re happy, they all get along..."(Thats why you are here, to stop them killing each other) ummm yeah, apart from saudi vs. yemen, iran vs iraq, they all f&$%%ng hate each other wtf planet do these people live on!? The guy at 18:29 who collects all the court circulars....(shhhhh, virgin alert :D) 24:36 Prince Edward being breathtakingly patronising, 34:40 Prince Andrew leering "This is going to be fun" whilst glancing at the woman next to him´s tits...(now, now Andy she isn´t 15, hands off!!) 41:07 Prince Richard being far more interested in the roof insulation than the dance that is being done for him, Prince Philip to a black soldier " How did you get into this? By mistake? ....What was your recruiting office thinking? It was some kind of holiday agency or something?" No words! :D
Yes, Alexandra's chat with the Nigerian gentleman was cringe-inducing. Nigeria is the biggest country in Africa (population-wise); only a totally ignorant person wouldn't have heard of the place. As for "giving it independence", oh Lord 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
surprised the diplomat from the Cayman Islands didn`t offer to stash some of her cash for tax purposes. He was doing it for most of the Tory party.
Wow I thought I followed the monarchy well but I've never heard of the duke of Gloucester or princess Alexandra I'd never be able to point them out in a crowd could be a weird Mandela effect lol or the press really ignores the work of those below 10th in line to the throne lol. It would help if the press covered all the Boring things they do most people would detest it has brought me much solace during times of extreme mental illness thinking I'm sure the queen has woken up some days thinking " I can't face going to Bognor community hall today to see 50 100 yr olds waving paper flags in my face I just can't face it today . It's clear she has a strong resolution so may not think that. But I think the lesser known royals do go through that dread I used to feel Tryin g to convince myself to get out of. Bed every single day. If the press didn't solely portray them as on holiday in every photo it would help show people how much they do for Britain and international trade relations tourism etc for 66p per year per person they're worth it
Being royal is a job for life - where the average schlep is burnt out by 65 and ends up in an olds people's home and she flies up to Balmoral.
Speaking of no brains......that seems to be a common theme.
And glad your leaving the EU BRITAIN cousins:) sincerely m.g Washington state USA:)
Prince William 😍😍😍
Ah ok please get rid of them ... Queen Elizabeth II was the last
How come William can drive without keeping his hands on the wheel? 😮. LMAO!
I'm guessing you are not from Great Britain. In that country, the driver's side is on the right and they drive on the left side of the road.
I despise Charles . Love William and Harry. Princess Diana did a marvellous job raising them Edward is likable
June ann Lloyd Charles is wonderful.
I know what you mean, I felt the same way about prince Charles, but you can’t hold a grudge forever, and since he has been working hard to support climate change and the British laborers I’m pretty okay with him now
I would absolutely trade the queen for Donald trump. I would not however trade congress for the British parliament or our laws for British laws and tax. They hammer their people down with taxes.
I believe Andrew thinks his brother an idiot for everything he did in his marriage being with Camilla for 1 minute. Howvit ruined so many things for everyone. His continues good relationship with his ex shows class and out shines Charles by a mile.
Debbie Strom if you study the way it all happened. I think Charles is with the person he should always have been with. All sad but I think Charles is very happy.
Why does William not wear his seat belt? Is it not compulsory in England? He is setting a very bad example to all young people. Given his status he should know better. So should his advisors. Plus the driver. Here in Australia if you are the driver & one of your passengers is caught not wearing a seatbelt, the driver, as well as the non belted up passenger are both fined plus the driver receives points on his licence.
I once read that the Royal Family are told not to wear seat belts for security reasons. If there is an attack or something they need to get out of the car as quickly as possible.
This won't help them in a crash unfortunately.
Old news old news
I love prince Andrew
Well, that aged like milk
They murder innocent animals for "fun". They disgust me. 🤮
I don't think America is built for this kind of stuff...we're not too big on bowing to mere mortals, we show respect or the lack there of via tweets, just ask our tweeter in chief, i don't know which is more embarrassing tbh.
So do we sionara11.
