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
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
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.
Well in regard to Prince Charles " Does that Mean He's Not Coming on Then ? "
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.

A free world, uumm interesting. Not sure what planet you live on.
@david edbrooke-coffin A focus! On what?
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 !

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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...
". . . And my love of that woman's hand. That's all it was."
Okay, Kira Yoshikage. Calm down.
Killer queen has already touched this Rolls Royce
This segment James May does is actually a joy. Adore the class and the storytime he does while sipping wine like a gentleman
No man with real class would chat shit about the Royal family
@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.
"Bloody toffs"..as he elegantly swills glass, while checking the maturity..LMAO 🤔🤣🤣
Little did James know but that woman with the Royce whom he let in was Her Majesty the Queen.
“He passed by far to quickly and didn’t even look at me, that’s when I became a Republican” lol truer words were never said
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?

@Ted Carruthers here here you got an almost standing ovation when I read this out at my branch gmb meeting
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.
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.
Lmao May got the car his 5 second worth crush drove xD
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
I met Prince Charles and all I could say was" Well how's it going" I'm Irish so don't really appreciate the Royals.

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 😃

James May.......at least he is a calm guy who makes fair/honest points (most of the time)
True story: In 1775, King Louis XVI of France visited a school in Paris, and heard an address of welcome from its best student. The King was late. It was raining hard, and the welcoming party had been waiting out in it for two hours. The King's carriage stopped, the King listened - or maybe he didn't, for the rain was pouring down - but at any rate he didn't alight, gave no sign, and drove on without a word or a glance at the earnest youth, whose name was Maximilien Robespierre. Funny old world, isn't it?
That actually explains so much
James May is more popular and more loved than Prince Charles! So remember that James May with your wet flag!
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
Listening to James talking so elegantly and sensitively about that woman's gloved hand, is just quintessentially chivalrous...
_Chapeau_
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.
What does it take to reach salty levels of James? Bloody brilliant HAH!
Plot twist: the gloved hand belonged to The Queen.
double plot twist. the gloved hand belonged to Philip :)
Triple plot twist: the gloved hand belonged to Jeremy Clarkson.
Some say it was the Stig's Royal cousin.

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. 😂

For a moment I thought it was James Charles in the title
Fuck off with that shit all due respect
I’m more fascinated with seeing the inside of a pub....whoooo.
I miss the pub big time.
He’s got a great timber to his voice. Somehow you want to listen to James.
Did you mean 'timbre' or do you find his voice to have a woody quality?
i showed this to my mom, and she laughed hysterically. i love my mother even more.
Prince Charles was rather casual I see.
STANDARD!
1968, back when James May was a little old lady
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.
Finally understand why we never saw "Prince in a reasonably priced Rolls" on Top Gear...
Wouldn't it be funny if they interviewed Prince Charles one day and he remembered what happened? LOL
He must be fuming now
My Dad, who was born in 1969 has a similar experience of waiting for hours to see the Queen (along with the rest of his school) just for her to ignore them completely and he too now hates the Queen.
I just love that intro, the music and of course the one and only Mr. James May!! And of course every story he tells, fantastic!!!
"Does that Mean Prince Charles is Not Coming on Then ?"
Who were the twits who told him the prince would talk to him? Lyin' propagandists.
dPART Prince Andrew can’t come on as well because he’s busy fucking little children.
dPART no
That hand, that car, it was me James......
Difference between Charles and May:
May earned his Rolls
Charles was riding on the back of his mom’s.
btw, Charles would NEVER EVER be able to earn one. I am pretty sure he would become homeless a min after his privileges were taken away from him...🤷🏻♀️
But. At the same time, can being in a Roll's at such a young age fairly be held against the youthful individual?? Seems he should be viewed more as the unfortunate individual, scorned by some, just due to the nature of his emergence, where and when it occurred. What was his other crime?? lol.
So tell me... is natialisation resorces and production not the same thing as the monarchy system of 'job for life while doing fk all for as much as possable'... or has hypocrisy been writen out of the jackanory socalist fictionary manifest...
If I remember rightly his mum had a Land Rover Defender early series and the Roller was just one of the Buck house pool cars . The Rover was usually to be found at Balmoral ....
Why does Charles have big ears?
Because Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom!!
