- In todays video you will meet the Bowes-Lyon family. The most famous member of it, might be Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mum. This video's focus is mostly around her parents: Claude Bowes-Lyon and Cecilia Cavendish Bentinck. But we will also shortly meet all of her nine siblings.

That family is interesting in their extraordinary family life. They loved each other, lived without scandal, and served their country. Thank you very much!
Queen Elizabeth's Aunt Rose & her Mom looked so much alike...
One little error, during World War 1, The Black Watch was a separate regiment, it wasn't only until the 21st Century that the Royal Regiment of Scotland existed. Fergus Bowes-Lyon also served in The Black Watch.
Thanks for letting me know!
@@BackToHistoryYT you're welcome
Elizabeth, the Queen mother died in 2002. Her second most surviving sibling died in 1967. She outlived all her siblings by 35 years and her husband by 50 years. The poor woman died right after Margaret who was apparently her lifelong companion.
She outlived the sister she never got to met violet by 109 years and other siblings by 91 and 87 years
Thank you very much for your research. What a fascinating family. I’d like to know more now.
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
I am a direct descendant of Sir John Lyon . Thank you for a very informative article
Funny how all her family died young and she lived til 101. I dare say the Queen will be head of The Firm for many years still. The Jubilee was so fantastic.
Apart from her father,grandmother,other grandmother,great grandmother and descendants
It's actually quite common and it continues to this day in my own family. My paternal grandmother died at 38, her husband, twice widowed, at 65, my father (lucky dog!) despite his many health conditions, at almost 94, the longest lived of his family. My mother, who we all expected to live to 105 and bury us all, died ten years ago at only 86, but her older sister died in 2022 at 102! My maternal grandmother died at only 74, but her husband at 97 and was in great shape to the end, his sister at 95, his mother at 105. (My mother's side is known for their longevity). But my mother's other sisters died at only 80, 82 and 86, and their daughters and my cousins, two have already died at 71 each.
Thank you for this notable video of the family.
Thanks for watching!
Very, very interesting! Enchanting to watch! Congratulations!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting thank you for showing us this amazing video well done 👍
I stumbled across your channel and I’m extremely pleased I did !!! You put into great detail and easy understanding of the royal families of Europe and the United Kingdom ! Please keep up the great work. It’s greatly appreciated. 🫡🙌🏼🎯
Royal watcher from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so much for your kind words!
The castle is pronounced “glams”. The “I” isn’t pronounced.
Great video! Really enjoyed it. Learned a lot. “American” connections 😂
Thank you, this was so interesting!!
Thanks!
Great job! You are right this family is not talked about very often if at all. Thanks again for the work you put into this …..
Thanks for watching my video :)!
... they're talked about allright, there will be few people in England that can not mention something about them.
I am a descendant of the Lyons family on my mother's side. I hope to one day visit Glamis Castle in Scotland.
I love to see more people appreciating Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother! I love her, while most people are obsessed with Princess Diana, I'm more old-fashioned and have always been obsessed with the Queen Mother. I'd say she's my favourite female royal family member (other than HMTQ herself, of course).
Thanks for commenting! I will for sure make a video dedicated to only the Queen Mum in the near future.
@Kate - me too! I have always loved the Queen Mother; she's one of my favorite royals. She was the right woman for King George VI. You take care 🙂
@@BackToHistoryYT it's pronounced Glarms
Queen mum is the rich man's Queen of Hearts
@@stanlywlodykajimenez6983 oh I agree with you. She came from money when her father inherited his title. Same with Diana. Her dad had money but she had more issues than that of the Queen Mother. You take care 🙂
I am a Lyon decendant. The Queen mother is my 15th cousin. The last ancestors in common are John Lyon Lord of Glamis 1509 and his father of the same name born 1491. Their wives were very important Janet Keith and Elizabeth Drummond. Both of them multiple lines decendants of The Stewart Kings, Robert the Bruce, and Edward the III via John of Gaunt thru Queen Joan Beaufort Queen of Scots wife of King James 1st. All my ancestors as well. There are probably several hundred thousand of us in the world.
Cool name
That‘s fascinating!
Same
Unfortunately at that time institutionalization of the mentally ill was very common. This was a common practice regardless of class. This is what all of society did to the mentally ill. We need to stop punishing people for the times in which they live because I guarantee that we living now will be escoriated for what we have done and what we believe.
You are my distant cousin since I am also a descendent on my mother's side Prince William and Harry are my cousins 11x removed so distantly related
I Think I'm Related Thru The Lyon Bloodline That Originated from France The Family Name Started Off As Da-Lyons Then It Turned Into Lyons Then A Branch Was added Where It's Just Lyon. I Have Interesting Ancestors, A British Knight, A Cherokee Indian, And Almost All The Countries In The World. We Built Castles And A City In Our Name In France. Not Only That, Quite A Few Generations Of Lyons Fought For Freedom In The U.S. Military. My Grandpa And Uncle Being The Latest Generation In The U.S. Military. In Conclusion... ...It's Hard Being A Lyon Stay Safe, Brothers, And Sisters. May The Lord Watch Over You With Love, And Light. Amen.
The Bowes-Lyon family seat is also in Barnard Castle County Durham. BOWES Museum is the home of the musical silver Swan. They are said to have made their money from coal, which is how they Bowes-Lyons become aristocracy.
... on the backs of miners; as with so many other 'wealthy' dynasties.
@richardkell4888 so what?
Queen Mother is my 8th cousin. Myself and Queen Elizabeth have the same 9th great grandfAther. The Warners of Virginia.
That's amazing!
Are you related to the Riddles of Maryland?
@Kevin Richards - Such lofty claims to English royalty, and yet your English grammar is atrocious....the pronoun “myself” is never the correct choice in a sentence like yours....the correct grammar for your sentence is, “Queen Elizabeth _AND I_ have the same 9th great grandfAther” [sic]. _The next phrase is not even a sentence;_ it is a sentence fragment! What is it you wish to say about, “The Warners of Virginia”?!?!?
@@voraciousreader3341 On Boy!!!
The Queen is also descended from Robert E Lee.
One of my Linkedin connections is Constanse (I think this is how she spells it) Bowes-Lyon, who is mostly involved in Charity work. I was curious when I read her profile, when she listed the languages she speaks as English and Bokmal. At that time I had not heard of Bokmal before. It is actually Norwegian. So she married into the Bowes-Lyon family.
I am very interested in The Bowes-Lyon family which is King Charles III of the United Kingdom’s Scottish family 🇬🇧🏴
Glamis Castle is pronounced Glamz Castle. Cecilia is a direct descendent from the Duke of Wellington.
As well as the Dukes of Devonshire
Actually I think she was descended from Wellingtoms brother
She's also a descendant of both King Henry VII and King Henry IV.
Great video. Glamis castle is pronounced, Glams Castles.
Oh, thanks for mentioning that!
@@BackToHistoryYT You’re welcome.
My favourite Scottish clan.
they belong to the Lyon clan
🤔nice👌
Thank you 😇
The "i" in Glammis is actually silent
Does anyone know the Stockmann or Bohm surname?
👍👍👍👍
Claude possibly also fathered another daughter as a teenager with a cook at Glamis.
DNA tests support the claim that the Queen mother had this half-sister named Mary.
My name is Gary Lyons and I have been visiting the history of the family I found one Janet Douglas Lyons and it is same that I felt for that part of history lies that killed her and she was never cleared of the false charges and restored as a Lady in standing sad.
Those Bowes 😀
The Queen Mother's father was a Scottish Noble
My partner is related to the bowes family and come from County Durham
a bit incomplete I'd say! 5 cousins are missing here!!
The queen mother side has Americans in there.
Some funny pronunciations there ! But interesting video.
It’s a robot speaking. Someone should have cleaned up the mispronunciations.
The English TH sound is completely missing from the video.
I have the same Birthday of Goerge Washington
Yeah Right, I Bet You're Only Saying That To Scare Us🙄
Much repetition here, amazing nobody checked.
I’m related through the Colman’s and freeman’s to the queen mother xxx
Awesome!
Berkshire is pronounced Barkshire!
Cookie!!!
😄Wallis and Edward!
Glamis is pronounced ‘Glarms’.
We need a flow chart and better pronunciation. Thanks.
