This is why James May dislikes Prince Charles

- During James May's childhood, he happened to live in Wales at the time when Prince Charles was to be inaugurated as the Prince of Wales. And after waiting for two hours in the rain, little James barely caught a glimpse of the Prince as he tore past in a Rolls-Royce, cementing his dislike for the heir to the British throne. And his disdain survives to this day...

James May talking about the beauty of a woman's hand actually sounds classy. Imagine good old Clarkson trying to say the same sentence.
😂😂😂😂 the amount of cringe.
Unless he saw breasts I doubt he'd even notice.
Clarkson wouldn't have let her merge in the first place. haha
The ending of Clarkson's sentence would probably be something about chlamydia.
Last night ....I saw , A HAND 🤚 then I bought me rolls
"Why are you a republican?"
Normal Brit: "I believe the Monarchy is no longer necessary in a free world."
James May: "Prince Charles didn't look at me when I was a child."
TheMilitantHorse And for all I know, James May hates me for the very same reason. I could be distraught at the thought (but I’m not).
*Normal brit: I am not
"Normal" and "republican" do not belong together
A free world, uumm interesting. Not sure what planet you live on.
@david edbrooke-coffin A focus! On what?
A Rolls Royce allergy must be a very rarely diagnosed condition.
affected his auto immune system
I was walking my dogs around Saratoga Wyoming when I suddenly got itches on my neck and arms... suddenly I saw a Brand new Rolls Royce.
I went to the clinic. The nurse said, “Well, it is Conquistadors Week.”
I was so relieved because it would be another year until I had the symptoms again.
Look up Saratoga Conquistadors week for the point.
Elizabeth S great answer

Turns out he was allergic to leather. Man, I do not envy him. Well, okay, maybe just a little bit.

Thanks
@@MausOfTheHouse nice tonk 🤓
Well TopGearNS he as a driving hatred for him so no
@TopGeaNS: Young James May beat him to death with his wooden shoe so no, he's not coming.
Well, @TopGearNS, he drove past James 50 years ago, even after the poor five-year old waited for him for about two hours, way too quickly, and James now hates him extremely highly, so that's a no... But we now know of James' love for a womans hand and how he bought a car after she did a tiny gesture causing him to have a sudden, immense pleasure in his car.
For some reason I can listen to James talking about pretty much anything, and not get bored. :-P
lol Same. He could talk about the engineering of a pencil. I'd listen to every word.
And then wonder why I did.
@@dave131 I know nothing about engineering, planes, or even cars and I loved watching his Toy Story documentaries, as well as the car stuff.
It's probably because he doesn't use the word "like" every second word
Me too, imagine him reading the workshop manual for the Rolls Royce Corniche hardtop! #james may audio books?
he reminds me of my godfather
And finally, after all those years, James May has grown into his shirt from the 60s.
Unfortunately he hasn't grown into his hair from the 60s - looks like Samuel Pepys on Prozac. Get a haircut man , your too old for the shaggy locks look !

So James is allergic to Rolls Royce Cornice; Richard is allergic to personal safety; and Jeremy is allergic to manual labor.

Yeah, when I was a little kid, my grandad took me too London from Sheffield to see the trooping of the colour. We waited road side with the crowds watching the procession, eventually I said to my grandad, who’s that funny man on that horse? That’s the queen he said. She looked funny to me because she was riding side saddle. After that, we went to the London zoo to see the animals. Those were the days, we went to see the chimps tea party, remember those? There was only a knee high token fence, as I child I though what the hey, I’m going to have lunch with the chimps and hopped the fence, running towards the table, the zoo keepers grabbed me before I’d made it half way, worried the chimps would tear me apart! I’d like to think my grandad would not have been blamed for his impulsive grandson.
"Probably being driven by his dad." That's the biggest downplay I've ever heard for Prince Philip

Ew

@@letsgoraiding yes
I mean, the British monarchy literally makes a profit for the country, all the tourism and attention it attracts far outweighs the costs of maintaining it. Plus, they have no real power, so why would you not want free money.
Queen Liz will be the last real King/Queen of England. Any who come after her will only be celebrities, hence the foreign dusky "plant" already causing trouble in the royal household.
Who's here after the announcement of the Queen's death?
Me
@@excrementgaming4405 Das Rite.
Only James May would take something so vague and unintentional so personally that he carries that grudge around for 60 years :D
Believe me alot of us think like James May holding grudges only we don't have the fame or the money to sort it out.
@@MrCornbread79 For me it was being lied too and belittled by domb ass know nothing bosses. that are still working and i retired at 46 self funded. Hows that for a laugh! Yep 9 years now and still dislike those scum!
Well if you really want to see someone and wait hours in the cold just to see them and they won't even look at you for 1 second...
Tells quite a lot about that person you were looking up to
It's just an old man ranting about stuff he didn't have chance to...
@@killerdinamo08 Didn't have a chance to be looked at?
James May talking about royalty is the best. I remember when he was talking about how the Queen is actually German 😂
Deutscheland Deutscheland Uberallies
ya,ya
Because she is and English is a Germanic language 😂
Also Rolls Royce is now German.
Also the Queens grandmother was the sister of Prince Phillips grandfather.
This could be a proper speech for the next Bond villain.

Meanwhile, "You can't modernise the monarchy. The monarchy itself is a medieval concept."
I know what the title says now but for me it will always say “This is why Prince May dislikes James Charles.”
Do you think he said bye sister?
I had to read the title again one word at a time because i thought i saw "James charles" too.
LOOLL NICELY DONE
And me
Prince May for PM
I want James May to read me bedtime stories. His voice is relaxing.
"Wooden shoes and il fitting coats that they will grow into one day" I felt that
"No mother, you mustn't give that frightful fellow a knighthood, he said mean things !"
Knighthoods are earned on the battlefield and nowhere else.
Now a Lord or ladyship makes more sense for non combatants.
Die first, worship Chtulhu You still get knighthoods today for services to the country, they’re called KBEs and come with the title ‘sir’
@@RaggedDan just goes to show how far society has fallen.
@@temudzjin The last soldier Knighted on the Battlefield was General John Monash, commander of the Australian Army in World War One, one hundred and two years ago.

@@Apis4 Just because a system has been failing for a long time does not mean it doesn't need repairing.
If James had a pub I'd be there every day listening to him.
It’d be full of American flags and GOP candidate posters lol
@@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 not that kind of Republican you wanker.
He does have a pub!
this aged very well.......
You'll hate him even more when he's king and pushes the great reset button.
Then you won't even own a car
So this is why James hasn't had much love success
he is still searching for that woman
plot twist its Queen Elizabeth
Who he hates.
OOOOOOHHH! So this is connected to how he hates women with large hands! He told it to Hamster and Jessa during one of the Top Gear's The News segments. 😯🤚 Even immitating his hands in front of his face.
"my love of that woman's hand" classic James
Now imagine how it would sound if Clarkson had said it 😂😂
My name is Yoshikage Kira.
I have a feeling that five year old May looked and spoke just as he is now ... 60s forever
Big Boss I just pictured a five year old James May saying: "Oh, 🐓!" Hahaha!!!
If he dies you will not notice the difference.
No no no; he would have to get his hair cut to have a chance of that.
Wonderful to hear someone speaking proper English and you can understand everything he is saying. Yes, the class system is still very much still alive in the UK.
@Peggy Smulligan I understand them perfectly and still have a very hard time listening to them...
Love how the sound cuts out in the last five seconds so you can't hear what is undoubtedly the most satisfying line in the whole video.
I can relate. In 1993 my school class and I waited 5 hours in Llandaff village, Cardiff, to see the Queen.... She drove past us in a car with full tinted windows.
@Clara oswald You seem nice.
you sure she was in that car at all? she may stuck in some pub and driver just continued to drive to fulfill the route program...
Wtf did u expect her to do? Crowd surf? Flash her tits?
@Clara oswald "I play xbox and fuck with dumb kids on XBL kids are stupid"

This segment James May does is actually a joy. Adore the class and the storytime he does while sipping wine like a gentleman

@Shao Yu Mai Wang yeah i guess you are right. Thank God we have modern politicians who are the exact opposite of the things you just described. God save our precious Democracy.
@Shao Yu Mai Wang oh please. Lets not pretend that politicians care about their "citizens" more than monarchs did. Theyre just numbers of votes.
@Shao Yu Mai Wang i just see things the way they are.
@Shao Yu Mai Wang if your father/mother is wealthy,arent you entitled to inherit his wealth after he dies? Or does your family just give away their wealth to a random dude from the street just because he is "more educated" or they think he would do a better job at managing it? Not everything is as shallow and meaningless as science and its followers believe it to be.
Little did James know but that woman with the Royce whom he let in was Her Majesty the Queen.
If James May didn't have pompous flowing hair reminiscent of an 18 century men's wig, the irony just wouldn't work.
James would have been a liberal wig repub
How can hair be pompous?
It just screams Benjamin Franklin and I’m not even mad about it 🤣 he’s the only person who could pull off Ben Frank hair in the 21st century
When I saw the title 'This is why James May dislikes Price Charles', I immediately remembered why I like James May.
My Wife and kids waited in the soggy rain in July 2010 for Charles’ sister to re -open a footbridge that was sweep away in floods the previous winter. There we n’t many people because it was a working day and it was really pissing down. She never even bothered to say hello to them.
In 1953 at the age of 6, I stood by the kerb at Camberwell Green SE5, waving an equally little paper flag as the Queen and Prince Philip were driven past on their tour of the Country following her coronation. We got a wave!!✋
We kicked out the Kaiser Wilhelm before I was born. Love it!
It means he was actually 6 years old cos the Investiture of the Prince of Wales was definitely 1969, the year in which Princes Charles was 21.
I'm just upset that I find myself older than James May.
This is information he really could have kept to himself.
Terribly thoughtless of him.
I do feel better that you're older than me though, Marion.
Thanks for that!
Marion Bayley isn’t Camberwell Green near Trumpton...😁
I wish it had been, and Chigley. Instead we had Peckham, Brixton and Walworth Road.
Oh the joys of growing up in South East London - and, yes, I know Brixton is South West London.
However, within walking distance were several parks; some interesting bomb-sites; 3 cinemas;
2 hospitals; several excellent schools and 2 shops selling the most wonderful ice cream - and we were 😃
''And after waiting for two hours in the rain, little James barely caught a glimpse of the Prince as he tore past in a Rolls-Royce, cementing his dislike for the heir to the British throne. And his disdain survives to this day...''
That's a great (sic) reason to hold a grudge for 40 plus years. .........says something about James.
@Ted Carruthers here here you got an almost standing ovation when I read this out at my branch gmb meeting
A friend of mine was at Gordonstoun school at the same time as Prince Charles.
On parents day Prince Phillip reversed into my mates dads car. His dad, who was pretty weird, some kind of Asperger's I suspect, got out and gave Prince Phillip a right (royal?) bollocking and had no idea who he was. 😂
Quite right too.
Jesus he's lucky he didnt get shot.

James, you have a very accurate view of most royalty.
My little son once had to go to the bathroom urgently, while we were FIRST IN LINE waiting for Penélope Cruz at a movie festival. I still love him. Maybe would love him even more if that hadn't happened.
I figured out the pub in the end - The image on the window gave it away. It's The Cross Keys in Hammersmith
That's where he lives.
For a moment I thought it was James Charles in the title
Fuck off with that shit all due respect
I remember as a small boy in the early 60's standing on a local somerset road, with my family, as the Queen's Rolls-Royce eventually wafted by on it's way to the Bath & West show, and I excitedly waved my home made and painted (on one side only) Union Jack flag pinned to a piece of broom handle. I was thrilled when the Queen looked out of her window and waved JUST at me!
So rather better than being ignored by Prince Charles James!
Thanks for posting. Can we see rather more of Hamster please?
I always liked her. She seems like a nice lady.
I think maybe Charles got a bad influence from his father or someone else in his family
Well, this aged well..
