I don’t think anyone will forget where they were when they heard that the Queen had died
I was at home, it was 3pm and I saw a news notification from all my news apps. I was like "this better not be..."
@@hestongreenidge2576ok
I was in my fifth period class at school and some boy blurted out that she had died and the whole class heard it
God. My little sister went "no! Little old lady!" Saddest thing ever
I was at home 9 pm September.9 when i see a video about what will happen if the Queen died and i went to the comment section and i tought it was a joke that they we're saying "Rest in Peace your Majesty🕊" and then i suddenly searched it up about the Queen and i was shocked
To think that all of these deaths took place during Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
Technically, her death announcement took place in King Charles III reign. The moment she died, her reign ended and his began. Thus, the announcement will always be in the next monarch’s reign
It even happened as Woody.EXE and I started our reign of 80 years. Woody.EXE was absolutely devastated, 9 months on and still not over it
@@nicolelawless9942 woody.exe??? what are you talking about you also started your reign? you are under 7
@@somethingsmart3975 yes I believe King Charles knew instantly as soon as he had a phone call and the palace said your Majesty on the phone even though he was aware she didn't have long left. I think The Princess Royal was the only one at our late Queens bedside at that moment when all others were on their way 😢
My grandmother told me the day she saw Queen Elizabeth's coronation on TV, it was the first time she saw a real Queen. She then watched the funeral of the Queen live on TV and not long afterwards, she herself would pass away.
She must've died from sadness of something
I was 19 years old when I heard the news of the passing of the Queen. I'm from Australia, it was the morning of September 9th, I woke up and I reached over to grab my phone and the moment I turned it on I had an Apple News alert popped up say the Queen has died and I just gasped out loud and my family were in complete shock. It was raining that day and I was driving to work with my sunglasses on and the radio was playing countless reports of the Queen's passing and I couldn't stop crying all the way to work. When I arrived at the Bunnings Warehouse store where I work at I could see all my friends in shock and in tears throughout the whole day and our manager decided to turn off the music in the store and announced on the intercom for all of us to have a moment of silence to pay tribute and respect to the Queen.
Womp womp
Why would anybody be shocked by
the death of a 99 year old?
I was 17 at that time, and I heard the news on the 9th at 12 am, I was scrolling Instagram suddenly a German page showed many photos of EIIR, then I searched her name on Google and got the news. It was such a piece of devastating news for me and I literally cried and could not control myself. It was like I had lost someone of mine, a vacancy was suddenly created. However on that day when the doctors announced that her health was not ok, I was not shocked and at an immediate moment, the thought that she would leave us came to my mind. The day was gloomy and at night I got the news.
@@harryhanz1690If you mean QE II, She did not pass at 99 but at 96

I cried like a baby when the queen passed away. I stood in line for 13 hours to view her coffin.
Wow it must’ve been a honour
Same here. I was literally crying like an infant. 😢😢
Same. I couldn’t stop…
I wouldn’t have managed it at all but I’m glad my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE we’re with me during the Qyeens death
I remember praying for her, including “God save the Queen.”
It was absolutely crazy timing when I found out about the Queen’s death. It was during history class. We were in the UK area in our studies that day, and we somehow got side-tracked onto the subject of the Queen. Then, my teacher brought up how her health was declining over the past few days. Then, we had lunch. After lunch, we came back to our class and we were told that the Queen died.
She was truly one of the best ones out there. ❤
R.I.P
The shock should be never repeated the future generations will retire and young dynamic monarchy will avail...keep the faith...
His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh & Her Majesty, the Queen’s deaths hit me the hardest 😢

I had just graduated from high school and celebrated my 18th birthday only 3 weeks before Princess Diana’s death in Paris, France. I remember getting up early to watch her funeral on TV here in the United States. The version of Candle In The Wind that Sir Elton John sang became a smash hit and I ended up buying the single. Her funeral introduced me to his music and in a way, the history of the royal family.
Mummy was 18 just 2 weeks before Diana died and little did she know she’d become Princess of Wales just weeks after her 43rd birthday. It was Woody.EXE who decided this and she’s been Princess of Wales for one year now, on that tragic Thursday night, it was totally unexpected but Mummy deserved the title from the start of 2021 when the Queen became sick, Mummy even knew it then
All 90s children know how big she were back then, her death is condiered as the end of an era, enter the new millenia
я в 1 класс пошел на следующий день после смерти Дианы (1 September 1997 года)
Diana just got murdered
People who escaped from North Korea also say they felt like that when Kim Jong Il died
😢😥I live in Sydney, Australia and it was a Saturday morning when we heard The Queen has passed away. We will never see another person like her again.
We're in Canada but we were visiting in UK and were in flight to return home. One of the flight attendants announced it. What a horrible flight this was on all kinds of levels. Just about all of us grew up with HRM and she was admired globally. Quite the role model...
It was actually a Friday morning

As an American I expect it's a bit of a different view for me, however, as an avid Anglophile, I cried like a baby when Her Majesty passed. As a boy I always hoped she'd surpass Queen Victoria's length of reign. It seemed so impossible. To ME, Her Late Majesty became the WORLD'S Grandmother. May God Rest Her Soul. And May God Save the King!
"God save the King" from what? Eventually we all die
Now Woody.EXE might surpass Queen Elizabeth’s reign of 80 years. I’m honoured to live through it as his longest serving Queen

I was on the phone to my Daughter discussing the Queen when we got the news she had passed, seeing the flag at half mast. I sat there and sobbed.
I saw it getting lowered as well and I knew Woody.EXE’s reign has started. I delivered the news of the Queen’s death to him in a personal statement and he immediately came down to my house to watch the announcements being unfolded only to proclaim me as Queen hours later and my mother as Mummy, Princess of Wales. I’ve never seen anything like it
Since 1972, I can recall watching the death announcements of Lady/Princess Patricia Ramsay and Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, in 1974; Lord/Prince Louis, Earl Mountbatten of Burma in 1979; Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, in 1981; and Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, in 2004. Don't any of these get a look-in?
Probably couldn’t find coverage
Very valid points, particularly when you consider that the Duchess of Windsor was never a Royal and Diana, Princess of Wales was not a Royal at the time of her death and therefore they should not have been included in this video.
4:17 The resolution here likely matched the Queen Mother's eyesight.

I was in school at the Falkland Islands when we found out, it first started as rumours then everyone was shortly announced.
I really think it's neat how this same family has been followed for centuries and even a millennium. Normally, you wouldn't know any of your ancestors from 927 AD.
Right?! It's mind-boggling that following a family for even 100 years is possible, let alone 1000!

I was bell ringing at a feast of a town in Malta. I remember reading that her health was deteriorating earlier that day and then read that she passed away after a peal. It was the Victory Day of my country Malta, and the feast of Our Lady of Victories (The feast for which I was bell ringing). I will never forget that day.
No surprise, you are notoriously a racist country with an horrible mindset
That day when Queen Elizabeth passed, I was in Rio de Janeiro, for the Rock in Rio music festival. I woke up quiet late, that day, around 1:30 pm when a friend of mine txt me saying “London Bridge is down”. Immediately I switched on my telly on BBC News and they were still concerned about her health. The confirmation of HM’s death came one hour later - at 2:33 pm local time - from Huw Edwards. When the national anthem was executed, afterwards, I stand up from my sofa and sang “God Save The King”. 😢 I’ll never forget that day.
I remember going on my phone as every normal lunch time but the text from Woody.EXE was very alarming saying “Queen Elizabeth II is unwell, it’s not looking good” I just had a minute to try and take it all in. Then I immediately messaged her back saying “I guess I’m Queen now?” I still have the messages from that day a year ago and I cry looked back knowing I was already Queen at 12:40. Then I immediately called my mother and she remembers me crying as I announced the news to her about the late Queen and she became Mummy, Princess of Wales later that Thursday night
@@nicolelawless9942what? 🤔

In my house watching TV when HM The Queen's death was announced. I'm 32 so she was a constant figure of growing up in the UK, and I admit, I cried my eyes out. It's part and parcel of being a healthcare professional because we deal with death all the time but aren't meant to cry in front of people, so we carry these emotions and I think hearing that HM the Queen passed was a shock and tears were all I could express
diana’s death will never sit right with me. watching the announcement is eerie.
Beautiful video clips amazing
The first three deaths were all in Paris.
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, as well as Princess Diana.
And harry and meghan have avoided going there...
Paris is also built upon a mass gravesite
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR PRINCESS MARGARET'S DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT
It was there
Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth 11 ,Diana princess of Wales, and the Queen mother,and Prince Philip , and Princess Margaret may they rest in peace ❤️
QUEEN ELIZABETH II. 11 is ELEVEN 🙄
In the UK, I guess not many of us can say we saw and heard the first news report in Diana’s death but, I was one. I came in from a night out clubbing at about 3am, switched on the telly whilst I made self something to eat and watched the news turn from seriously injured in a car crash to died.
Yes i woke up early and heard the same on world service and radio 4 interrupted i was so shocked i rang my mum i jad onky just talked to my ex from wales the night before and heard she had died a shocker that she hadnt worn a seatbelt. I cannot fathom why Harry hasnt done any speeding or seatbelt campaign
We were on the road doing deliveries & the area we do literally has crap radio pickup. Heard talk of the royal family on a customer's radio & decided to try & tune in. Ma was stunned, I was pretty shook.
I remember thinking "It must be so hard for the UK to go back to the national anthem being "God Save The King" after it was "God Save The Queen" for 70 years." ABC was the first US news outlet to announce it after BBC did so in the UK.
We're British, we nailed it!
Was it hard? I'm not from the uk so I don't know
It was a very poignant moment at the end of the funeral when the national anthem played and everyone realised they had to make the change to the new lyrics. I recall watching Charles and Camilla's faces and thought how they must have felt in that moment.
@@caz3502 You rocked it!
@@barsbay7598 Idk, but I am Scottish and Canadian, so I'm saying yes.
I find it so fascinating that Diana was the first royal family member to receive the anthem god save the queen after their death announcement
She was not the first! They played God Save the King on BBC and CBC Radios (and others, most likely) after George V's and VI's deaths, and I believe on the TV for George VI's where TV was on the air in the Commonwealth. There was simply no way to record those events at the time.
@sboudreaux27 well, owing to his circumstances (having abdicated, seen as quite shameful in the British royal system), it would’ve been seen as an innapropriate measure probably.
I never knew that until now, at least Woody.EXE agreed to have this happen when I’m no longer here and I would be his Queen by then. I dread him reigning on without me
No she wasn't. They played it for many royals before her.
@@evaharrison1733shameful yes. But just think, if he hadn't abdicated we would never had the most respected and dignified and longest reigning monarch. Simpson wouldn't have given Edward an heir so it makes you wonder how things would have been
I will never forget watching the coverage when Diana was in the crash and then the finality of the announcement saying she had died at the hospital. I had never cried over the death of someone I never met but did for days.
If Liz Truss will be remembered for anything, it will be being Prime Minister when HRH Queen Elizabeth II passed away. 😆
*HM, HRH stands for His/Her Royal Highness and HM stands for Her/His Majesty, HM is used by the monarch, HRH is used by those of a child, grandchild of a monarch or a grandchild of the heir to the throne, however royals can opt to having there children to have those titles, HRH
The fact that her terms were the shortest term for a prime minister of the UK, in history
Such a lucky lass, in the most horrifying way lol

I remember being woken up at 5am on a Friday morning by my dad calling from the US (I lived in NZ) saying "did you hear the news?" I went online and it showed the Queen's death...i didnt know she was sick and i was in total shock, wore all black to work in her honor
God save the Queen 🇬🇧🇳🇿
I was in college lunch break when her health was declining and then, Wody.EXE randomly messaged me about it because my sister had told him to message the news down and I remember saying “you got to be kidding me?!” He knows how much I loved the Queen so he decided to announce it. Woody.EXE never wanted to do this but he just knew he had too. My college tutor Sophie allowed me to go home an hour early than we usually do and she said “keep me updated and I’ll be thinking of you” and I went home early to be with Woody.EXE and my sister who were gathered together already waiting for Mummy to come home so we could be altogether during this moment. At exactly 6:30 on that tragic Thursday, the Queens death was sadly announced and Mummy became Princess of Wales and I was already Queen Elizabeth III. I only screaming “No not the Queen, I thought she’d make it to Friday but NOPE!” I went to tell my 2009 Woody what’s happening and even he couldn’t believe it. I stayed up all night having the news on in the background so I didn’t miss anything. The grief from Woody was probably the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced since he adored the late Queen and all 5 of us hardly slept until the funeral was over. I was only 20 then
I can still recall where I was when I hear about Queen Elizabeth. I heard it almost as soon as Britan learned of, I have a friend who live within London and she told us the moment it happened. We are most likely to go through this again once Charles passes, but... it was almost surreal about the whole thing.
HM Queen Elizabeth ii is a monumental death of the 21st Century ya Charles and William and even George will eventually pass but nothing from the royal family will hit as hard as the Queen did for a while.
I find it errie how Diana was the only one who didn't pass away peacefully
What about Mountbatten ?
'Peacefully' is a figure of speech.
Diana was still young and in excellent health and died suddenly
The rest were up there in age and/or had severe health problems or both for a long time before they passed on
Well, she didn't. A car crash isn't a peaceful way to die, is it.
@@ohwell94i didn’t realize an ira boom stick constituted natural causes

Wasn’t there a controversy when the Queen Mother passed, that the BBC presenter did not have a black tie to wear when he made the announcement.
Now they keep black ties (for male presenters) and a black blazer (for women) on hand if there is an announcement to be made.
Whilst he might not have been an actual Royal, you should have included the announcement of Mountbatten's assassination.
He was absolutely a royal, a cousin to the Queen. first uncle to the late Duke of Edinburgh, and a descendant of Queen Victoria through the Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine, Alice who was Victoria's daughter.
He was an actual royal. His family gave up their titles in WW1 because of their German ties
@@LaKellita Yes and they became known as the Mountbattens.
@@therathergoodengineer9285 still royals, though

My whole heart went out to Martine Croxall on her emotional announcement concerning the death of HRH, The Prince Philip. You could see she was emotionally moved, trying to hold it together. And how did the BBC reward her emotion and devotion? Subsequently, with the sack...Simply outrageous, and the Beeb should hang their collective heads in shame! Simply vile behaviour!
I remember where i was on Sept 11 2001 so many lives lost and still peaple today dying from the effects, god bless them 🙏
When Queen Elizabeth died last year:I was stunned and saddened by the news, I couldn’t really wrap my head around the fact she was gone forever and Charles was officially the king of the United Kingdom.
When the queen's death was announced, i was gasped and couldn't believe that she was died. For a moment i thought it was a hoax until i saw BBC interrupting the program, announcing the death of her majesty the queen. I was in shock, really devastated at that time.
And it's been almost a year after she passed away, but whenever this news shows up in my youtube feed i keep recalling the moment. Rest in Peace.
Umm...she was 96 and her husband,who was 99, died 17 months prior so her passing was not entirely unexpected. It seems that couples who have been married for decades one spouse passes away and the other dies within a few months.
Princess Diana hits me I got goosebumps when I heard the anthem play when the news was given.
It's a pity we were not able to see King George VI's death announcement.
I was in the UK on vacation three weeks before Diana died. I ever seeing the photos of her at Dodi’s yacht. Next thing I know she died. So surreal.
I remember the passing of Princess Margaret,The Duchess of Snowden and just a few weeks later the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth, the Queen Mother both in 2002. Princess Margaret was 71 and Queen Elisabeth 101. I was not even a year old when Princess Diana died. I was alive for all of Queen Elisabeth ll’s reign. It was truly a sad and somber day when she passed away.
For a majority of people she was the only Queen they had ever known.
I felt the same when Pope John Paul died, I was 11 when he was elected.
Seeing Huw Edwards makes me feel abit sick 🤢
The awkward thing that strangely came out ruining his career revenge for schofe
I was 6 when Diana passed. And despite how young I was, I never forgot the announcement.
It was a massive shock.
Yes, I was also only six. I remember it well, though. It was the first time I can recall ever seeing my mom cry
If you look over Huw's left shoulder from 10:50, one of the newsroom staff appears to be taking a photo of Huw in front of the camera.
First time he said ‘The King’, it somehow felt strange and not right
What a beautiful portrait the BBC used for Queen Elizabeth II’s death announcement. She looked so steadfast and beautiful.
RIP Ma’am 🤍
I remember that day perfectly. In bed with COVID, my partner and i were reduced to tears. I've spent almost all my adult life in service to the Crown, and it was never spoken of that Her Majesty may some day pass on. That day came too soon sadly.
i was in my language class when my teacher looked onto her watch and said "oh... the queen died." i thought she was talking about her watch dying until 5 minutes later when the bell rang and everyone started talking abt it
A fact that makes my skin crawl was I was JUST talking to my coworker about the royal family (ex. Diana and how the royal family treated her) because she was on my phone case and we stroked up a convo and my coworker turned around and said “I can’t imagine if the Queen died if she would get that kind of treatment” and on my life not 5 mins later they announced she died on national tv in the break room. Till this day I get hybie jeebies
Except for the Duke of Windsor and his wife, all the news saddened me very deeply. I was one year old when Diana Princess of Wales died...
I was a day away from six when Diana passed away
Is it true that BBC try to avoid showing the clip with Hugh Edwards?
RIP TO THESE people 😢
There are rumours surrounding the exact circumstances of Prince Philip's death. Apparently, it was more sudden than we were told - a 'source' claims he had gone to the toilet in the early hours of the morning and, while being escorted back to bed by his nurse, complained of feeling faint and then collapsed. The Queen was asleep and wasn't made aware until she had woken.
Just a reminder that this is all rumour.
So we'll take no notice of it
@@caz3502 6:17- 'It is with great sorrow that Her Majesty announces the death of her beloved husband. . .' as per royal protocol means that she was WITH him at the time it happened instead of in another part of the Castle at the time' it was announced TO Her Majesty' or another place altogether 'Buckingham Palace announces the death of.. '. Hence, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that she was with him when he left this world at age 99 (having known him from the time he was an 18-year-old naval cadet and she was a thirteen-year-old princess).
I don't think that's how it happened. Sophie (Edward's wife, now the Duchess of Edinburgh) said that he passed away peacefully with the Queen by his side. So more likely than not his health had just rapidly deteriorated and everyone knew that it was time.
2:11 The funeral music of that logo would be fitting.
And to think that she would’ve been queen consort since LAST YEAR had she survived and remained married…
She wouldnt have been Queen nor Queen Consort if she would be alive today though. They were already divorced by then....
It’s insane Britain & American have the same tune playing in that song at 3:07 I’m American & when I heard she was hours from death I thought this isn’t true. She’s always been there. Somehow we look at royal families like omg they exist…Then when she passed away it was like when Betty White died…You knew it was coming but didn’t ever really expect it to happen.

Because it wasn't a BBC annoucement
Yes.
I didn't own a TV when Diana died. My neighbor and i shared a balcony. He knew what a fan of Diana i was. He gently knocked on my bedroom door and slowly broke the news to me. I insisted it was just an accident. He then just stepped out of the way and i went into his apartment to see the TV. I just sat there crying for an hour or more
We've taken the stability the Queen provided for granted. Some people complain about the Monarchy, but it's hard to argue with success. Not just in Great Britain, but in over a dozen other Commonwealth Realms using the Westminster System of Constitutional Monarchy, you find what? Peaceful transition of power, different peoples united rather than warring, and a head of state who represents EVERYONE, not just one nationality or another - these are essential ingredients which don't just magically happen, and which we've forgotten to value.
I was at morning practice with my team when our coach got the notification that the Queen died. One of my teammates was British and instantly kneeled and said, “the Queen is dead, God save the King!” We then spent our post run stretching reflecting on her life.

Yep, because Charles became King the moment QEII passed.
I remember going to London to see The Queen Mother lying in State.....queued for hours but so wanted to pay my respects to her. I remember crying bitterly when Diana, Princess of Wales died...not because I was a fan of hers, I wasn't, but it was so tragic, such a waste of a young life. When Queen Elizabeth II died, I was devastated....yes she was old...yes we knew this day would come, but it was still so very sad. I, like thousands of others, had never known any other Monarch and I admired and respected her so much.
I know that I will ever forget where I was when I heard about the death of Princess Diana or the Queen. May they all rest in peace.
If the bbc stops and says something about an important message, someoms died.
Wow can't believe the difference in attitude by the American announcer and how the Duke of Windsor was viewed in the UK

Wait he was part of the royal family...i mean he was the duke of Edimburg uncle...i don't know about the royal family im from south america
@@tacituskilgore5372 Lord Mountbatten was the late Queen's cousin .
@@robertclark2253 hum...i never knew
It breaks my heart that one day William and Catherine and possibly their children will be announced. Obviously this is only natural because that is how life works but we have grown up watching William and his children and his marriage to Catherine has been every where. It was so incredibly hard to watch the Queen's funeral and when Charles passes and then Camilla it will just be so hard because I have grown up watching their lives. I don't know them personally but we see them all of the time. Royalists regard them highly and even as an American they are a great symbol of the United Kingdom. I know I will get mean comments on this and I don't care. It will be sad and I don't look forward to any one of them. Anne, Edward...their families any of them. God Bless the Royal House of Windsor. Long may it reign.
You're not alone, I hope to live and see them become King and Queen, we feel this way probably because with social media, we can even go into their lives every other day, I'm not fan of famous people, but this family is one I love seeing, so yes it will be sad for many, let's hope for the best.

I was in a pub in Exeter when i heard the sad news 😢 😢
I'm not even British, by location or ancestry, and these still teared me up. There's just that slow mournful playing of Britain's national anthem that really got to me.
I would think you should have included Lord Louis Mountbatten, Elizabeth II's second cousin and Phillip's uncle and mentor, who was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army on August 27, 1979. They blew up his yacht, killing him and several others. It was a devastating event for the Royal Family.
Probably didn't include him as it was well known he was a paedophile
@@darenotoole Evidence?
Although he was related to the Queen, he wasn`t an official member of the royal family.
After all the historical figures of England in the 20th and 21st century passed away and after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of the century, England is no longer the same, it has gone out.
Just England??? Maybe really The United Kingdom !!
@@wardenblack9734 ohhhhh yes👏👏👏
That's because it's full of illegals. We're losing our traditions and identity
Cheerful.
I notice that Princess Alice , Duchess of Gloucester, was not included.
The death of Diana, Princess of Wales rocked the whole world, she was loved by so many, but it made the Royal Family wake up and start to take note of her people and with Tony Blair the then PM, She modernised and became more people focus.
RIP all of the Royals listed here
She didnt that much because H&M couldnt have the working relationship they needed..
You've missed Louis Mountbatten
Bill Beutel reporting on the Duke of Windsor, I think.
Those ominous black suits.
When I heard that the BBC anchors had changed into them, that's when I knew for certain that the Queen had died, even though it would several hours before the announcement was made.
Can I ask why Prince Phillip was known as THE Prince Phillip? That puzzles me
Because Prince (of the United Kingdom) Was his title Aside The Duke of Edinburgh.
It is just like when you say HM The Queen Elizabeth II.
But i could be wrong with the explanation.
I am not sure why but using the definite article indicates a higher status. So Prince William actually became The Prince William when his father became king, and technically Harry would be The Prince Henry as the son of a monarch. However as William became the Prince of Wales within a day or so, his title became the POW, so he was only The Prince William for a day or so. Because of Harry’s circumstances he may have elected not use his title as The Prince Henry.
@@brontewcat he was the Consort and not a blood royal so that is the correct address for him
@@racheldemain1940 I am not sure what you mean - The Prince Philip is a higher status than just Prince Philip. It had nothing to with him being a consort. The Queen had it within her gift to create whatever title she chose.
If you look at Wikipedia articles on the royals, the articles often set out each royal’s title and styles as they progress through life and their circumstances change. When their parent becomes monarch a royal’s style changes to The Prince or The Princess. Look up Queen Elizabeth II, and you will see from Dec 1936 until she became the Duchess of Edinburgh in 1947 her style was the Princess Elizabeth. Then her style became the Princess Elizabeth, the Duchess of Edinburgh
Besides all of which, Prince Philip was of Blood Royal - he was of the royal houses of Greece and Denmark. So he was Prince Philip until he married the Princess Elizabeth. On marriage he renounced his foreign royal titles and was created the Duke of Edinburgh, but he wasn’t given the style of prince. So he was HRH Sir Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen then returned the style of Prince to him in the late 1950s, but gave him the higher status of The Prince Philip.
It gives the higher status to the title. Such as when Queen Elizabeth II became Queen there were 3 living Queens. Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen mother and Queen Elizabeth II. Hence the use of The Queen for Elizabeth II.
Whilst at the time I don't think there were any other Prince Philips in the RF the definate article will raise Prince Philip above the others.
I dont care for any royals having passed away except for Princess Diana.
She was treated like crap by them
She wasn't a royal by birth and she dished out the crap too
the duke of edinburgh in 2021 and the queen's death in 2022 was sad, and i saw it in news.
Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has been a graceful era not just a graciously devoted monarch..She is really and deeply missed.
