Britain has come under criticism for inviting the king of Bahrain, whose Gulf state has been engaged in a brutal crackdown on political dissent, to a lunch on Friday celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
The lunch in Windsor Castle was the largest gathering of foreign royals in Britain since Queen Elizabeth II's grandson, Prince William, was married to Kate Middleton last year.
Then, as now, the decision to extend an invitation to members of the Bahraini royal family has angered whose who are upset by the deadly violence deployed against demonstrators since protests erupted in the Gulf state.
Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa eventually skipped the royal wedding, saying he didn't want the controversy to tarnish the couple's happy day.
But on Friday Buckingham Palace confirmed that his father, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, attended the queen's lunch, along with some 45 other royal guests from around the world.
The Foreign Office, which advised Buckingham Palace on the invitations, said that Britain's ties to Bahrain allowed UK officials to talk frankly with the strategic island nation's rulers about "a range of issues including those where we have concerns."
Al Khalifa wasn't the only controversial guest dining at Windsor Castle.
Swaziland's King Mswati III, who is accused of living in luxury while his people go hungry, also attended the lunch.
Other guests included Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands; Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan; the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Nawwaf bin Abdulaziz al Saud.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry also attended the lunch.
The Diamond Jubilee marks 60 years of Elizabeth's reign as Britain's monarch.

It is so sweet and adorable the way the Queen expressed her joy when she saw the emperor and empress of Japan.
She's like "finally, someone's who's a reasonable size!'

When democracy embrace dictatorship.. hmmmm.. American democracy never was a true democracy.. hmmmm..
Let us make our communism philosophy great again.. huuumm..

I love the way Queen Elizabeth & Queen Beatrix greeted each other!
Queen Beatrix (Princess Beatrix) is pure class.
Hello, there! How are you doing? It's lovely how the Queens greeted themselves. I hope you are fine and staying safe? ✌️
After all cousins
the elegance of Japanese emperor and empress!
1:20 it’s like everybody calm down, Beatrix has arrived 😂🤣😂 shes the absolute best!!!!!
Love her 🧡
I watched this video just to see her 😂
she is. And yes - I am Dutch....
Hey girl....heeey....lol
I love her curtsy/non curtsy, she was also a Queen, well done.
Queen Beatrix has always been warm and generous. A very authentic person
The emperor and empress of japan are just so sweet 😁
I do love how spontaneous is Bea!!!
The Queen of Bulgaria seems to be a very kind person :)
I know queen Margarita personally and she’s lovely
@@santiagoe.5217 lucky you!! :)
This is sovereign ruling monarchs of the world. I doubt the former king of Bulgaria, Romania or Yugoslavia etc would've been there.
@@mattbarbarich3295 He was also the prime minister of Bulgaria so he was still relevant and in the scene. I know him personally and that us him
@@mattbarbarich3295 to The Queen, once you are a sovereign you are always a sovereign. The former Kings of Romania and Greece were definitely in attendance.
It is amazing to see just how warm and ‘professional’ HM was at greeting her guests. Every guest was treated with the same lovely smile and grace and charm The Queen was world famous for. I so miss her.
Lot of thanks to the Channel for their nice & valuable presentation of the video show which nobody could dare to do! God save the HM Queen Elizabeth I I for her valuable party inviting the Hon'ble Kings & Queens , which the present generation can enjoy & keep in memory for future.This is a rare opportunity one can get in a whole life. God bless all Highness especially!
HM the Queen rushed to greet the Emperor and Empress of Japan, what a nice friendship, Queen Breatrix too. 💖
Hello, Anne! How are you doing? It's lovely how the Queens greeted themselves. I hope you are fine and staying safe? This friendship could have started before the Great War. What do you think?
She has respect for the Japanese Emperor and Empress because their Family line has traced all the way back to the 600 BC form a single family it was never questioned or political games to claim the throne in Japan and she respects that
That is amazing!It is another sign of the loyalty of Japanese people.I can think some corners in the planet,were a family couldn't rule more than some decades....
According to their "written" history, I don't believe for a second that family is 2600 years old with no breaks in the line, some of the emperors ruled over 100 years mythology and legend are what make them so "grand"
@@lindsey7951 For most of history the emperor's power was only symbolic and nominal, so there was no dispute around him. Even after the "Meiji Restoration", if I understand correctly, it remained so. The excessive importance given to what his figure represented - a kind of national superego - immobilized the emperor in the role of a living relic. Some scholars have noted striking similarities between this conception of deified royalty and that of some Pacific peoples who are possibly related to the Japanese. As for her lineage being 2600 years old and going back to the Sun Goddess, obviously that's a legend. In the first centuries of the Christian era, Japan was still in prehistory, it was with the influence of Korea and China, I believe that around the 5th or 6th century, that Japanese Antiquity begins.
Because technically he outranks her as an emperor.
They outranked her
Imagine if this happened to the European Monarchies before the great wars. A family reunion. 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇷🇺🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪🇳🇱🇪🇸🇧🇪
Hello, there! How are you doing? It's lovely how the Queens greeted themselves. I hope you are fine and staying safe? Family reunion with peace and love ❤️
Long live the Queen lots of blessings to everyone🌷💕
Hello, there! How are you doing? It's lovely how the Queens greeted themselves. I hope you are fine and staying safe? I think this is called reunion with love. What do you think?
It's Hart warming to see how affectionate the royals are to one another.
"HEART" warming.
Vive la monarchie! Greetings from TeXas
Heart is the word
Ahh the queen of Holland.. so sweet. They look like they're really good friends!!! 01:18
Beatrix has been good friends with Elizabeth since World War II. During the Second World War, the Dutch Royal Family stayed in London and Canada. Beatrix's father was also an RAF pilot in World War II.
Aren't they cousins?
@@marino27m
I am no Genealogy expert but I can assure you they are not close cousins. Most likely remote cousins.
@@marino27m they are cousins but very distant. The Dutch royal family are one of the few not descended from either Queen Victoria or Christian IX of Denmark
I love how happy the queen of the Netherlands was to see Queen Elizabeth the second.
well there was a Dutch King on the thrown of England at one time
Siempre me encantó la reina beatriz de los Países Bajos. Se nota que es una mujer sencilla de pureza noble en su alma .
The Queen and The Emperor and Empress of Japan are good and old friends.
天皇陛下皇后陛下が来た時、エリザベス女王が笑顔で歩み寄るの好き。
C'est quoi ton rêve ?
Die Königin und der Japanische Kaiser sind Gleich Groß. Nur mal so erwähnt. ;)
@@keny1740 まぁいい意味でも悪い意味でも日本の役人だよね。
あんまりこういう公式の場でSPとか通訳の人がヘラヘラ笑ってるイメージない。
Queen Elizabeth and Queen Beatrix are like 2 Best mates
its a great day to see the Monarchy of counties, Long live the Queen
I don't think there are any counties with monarchies, only countries.
I love this video how she chuckles with Prince Philip is so heartwarming. RIP Your Majesty - thank you for everything you have done 😔💔
They are what you call well connected
Japanes emperor and empress very cute 🥰😍
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE LOVE FROM LONDON
Beatrice and Elizabeth are like sisters/cousins after not seeing each other for a few months
Interesting to notice she only walks in front to accept Emperor and Empress of Japan.
Pasan Bhathiya because the Emperors of Japan outrank E.ll , in fact she's supposed to bow to them, but monarch don't bow before another monarch.
stvh B He may be styled Emperor but the the Emperor of Japan is neither a head of state or government, just the symbol of the state. Queen is still Monarch of 16 countries and figurehead of 53 more. So yeah. She is considered senior to most royal families.
I don't know if Queen Elizabeth is supposed to bow before someone styled Emperor, but Japan is a major power; all the others are powers of lesser rank, even though some of them are wealthy e.g. the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Kuwait, with either lots of capital or oil.
Murray Aronson and the UK remains a global power. The Queen does not bow to anyone even though you're an Emperor. Technically she has a bigger kingdom or should I say the Commonwealth Realms as she is Queen over 15 other countries other than the UK. Plus she has ruled or haas been in the throne longer than HIM.
Pasan Bhathiya pnovela suliman
Long live HM The Queen !! from Japan
I love how HM saw the camera at 2:30 and walked out of the shot.
2:11〜
上皇陛下に歩み寄られる女王。
皇室と王室の絆が垣間見えます。
Imagine the security detail...
This was at Windsor Castle. The whole place is guarded very thoroughly by numerous guards and troops.
Her Majesty, she s simply stunning, long life to the queen
The Queen is a very nice hostess 👏👏🌹🌹♥️
Beatrix loves her Queen Elizabeth! I think QUEEN B.. truy gets emotional when she sees her.
It is one of the rare occasions where Our Majesty the Queen is not wearing gloves. It would be rude to greet her equals with gloves.
Of course the reason she usually wears gloves seems more practical, which is that if you're shaking hands all the time gloves really help prevent the spread of germs.
@@RareSeldas That is not being practical, Seldas, Our Majesty is just being protective of herself. And we cannot blame Her for that. Actually Her Majestic gloves are not exactly preventing the spread of germs, bacteria and other disgusting viruses. The gloves are just spreading the microbes to the next person in the line who shakes hands with Our Majesty. I must agree that this subject is rather disgusting, but it is the truth of the matter.
@@anacletwilliams8315 huh, isn't that what I said? They help prevent the spread of germs, especially herself. Idk I suppose I think 'prevent spread' is broader and hence more encompassing of the role gloves play since I'm sure they also help her staff.
@@RareSeldas Well, Seldas, I think we are saying exactly opposite things. While the Royal gloves do protect Our Majesty the Queen from contracting a skin transmittable disease, at the same time the Royal gloves may be spreading those viruses, amoebas and other microorganisms to each and everyone who shakes hands with Our Sovereign, one after the other. Like a contagion frenzy if you can grasp that image. But what really matters here is that Our beloved Queen is protected, safe and sound. Long live the Queen!
@@anacletwilliams8315 Hmm, I see your point.
Imagine these gatherings before the Great War, now only a select few of countries have monarchies but in before 1918 most of Europe was a monarchy.
To be fair, there were fewer countries in Europe back then.
@@AlienTreeGuy very incorrect.
Hello, there! How are you doing? It's lovely how the Queens greeted themselves. I hope you are fine and staying safe? ✌️I strongly believe the war happen for a better reunion, don't you think so?
@@schafer18 he's not incorrect. Before WW1 most of Eastern and central Europe was part of either the Russian, German or Austro-Hungarian empires
@@pedanticradiator1491 and India was part of the British empire, but no one doubted that India existed as a country. Empires consist of countries.
Can you imagine the security detail involved in this event?
Viva la reina Isabel!!soy fan de ella q Dios la bendiga y con mucha salud
Say what you want, but, when the monarchies and the heads of the world stand before her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II they all smile and show complete reverence.
Lmao yeah Japanese emperor gave two fcks
The Queen always did enjoy admiring fashions. It must become exhausting talking...
Madam moza is so elegant. Love qatari royal family
So much power in one building
0:44 that's King Constantine II of Greece. He and Prince Philip are actually first cousins as their fathers are siblings.
King's Constantine II father (King Paul of Greece) was Philip's first cousin, as their father were siblings. King Constantine and Prince Charles are second cousins.
0:18 Princess Myriam of Morocco 🤩😍🤩😍
I do wish all the heads of state were named for us!
Love seeing royals get each other
Как все красиво ,
I've seen HM King Michael of Romania only in the end at the photo shoot sitting next to HM Queen Elisabeth II.
They were cousins and they were very found of each other!
HM King Michael of Romania was the oldest monarch in Europe at this memorable event. He was crowned King of Romania in 1927.
At this event HM King Michael of Romania was the only head of state alive from the WW2.
He died in 2017.
Veșnică pomenire!
Greetings from Romania! 🇷🇴
seikh moza is beautful
Long live the Queen
1:59 Sheikha Mozah the most elegant woman in the world 👳♀️👳♀️👳♀️
All monarchies in one place
Sheesh
I wish the video labelled who was who as many of us don't recognize royals.
Cristal P - 0.31 The former King and Queen of Bulgaria (who was Prime Minister of Bulgaria on this occasion)
Just to add that the crown prince of Thailand (the current King) attended in place of The late King.
King and Queen of Tonga also attended
Tonga, Queen mother of Willem of the Netherlands, Grand dude of Luxembourg, the emperors of Japan, the emir of Qatar and his wife, the exiled king of Greece and his wife, the saudi princes, the princesses of Morocco; in the waiting room I see the princess of Monaco and the queen of Denmark.
@@stvhb1509
Also the King and Queen of Jordan in the waiting room talking to Prince William and his wife; the Duchess of Cambridge.
The Queen ramdonly on the back 2:28 lol
She's like- who is not boring to talk to?
THE QUEEN WHERE YOU ARE HERE MADAM?
She seems very keen on doing business with House of Saud but even so I like her cuz she acts nice and humble like she's just the cleaner while the rest are stuck up toffs.
This is like a fairy tale..when king and queen gather for a gala
Long live the Queen.
I didn't know that Her Majesty had used that witty joke from 2021 G7 summit since as early as 2012 😂
I'm wondering why King Bhumibol of Thailand did not attend this event
Gilang Kautzar Wiraatmadja he was already probably too weak..
Where is bhutan?
Ugandan knuckles: *I DON'T KNOW WHAT QUEEN TO CHOOSE NOW*
🤣🤣🤣
I love to see that the UK and Japan today are allies and friends, which, as we
know, wasn`t always the case.
I think it was only during WW2 that the UK and Japan were not friendly
Sheikha Moza always looks great.
The aide whispers to her ears: The Emperor and Empress of Japan... how exciting is this?
上皇陛下のオーラ半端ない
Please have subtitles to tell us who's who
nice sir
I have never seen anyone go cheek to cheek with the queen before O_O
Well, if you think about it, they're more than just fellow monarchs, most of them are related to the Queen. They're distant cousins who meet after a few months of not seeing each other lol.
sebastian sartorialissimo Yes that's true. It was just something you don't see everyday I guess lol
She only does it with other royals. And it's one of the very few occasions where she doesn't wear gloves.
Monarchs (and even former monarchs) do not bow or curtsy to each other.
actually she go es to cheek to cheek if the other Royal member if relative
Lo único real de vida de mi día la música en una radio de Ibiza fm
Uk has roots really i love ppl with roots
陛下は自分達が幾ら修練してもたどりつけないであろう高い徳を持っておりいつも国民を思ってくれてまた祈ってくださってまさに俺たち日本人を太陽の様に照らしてくださる
自分も陛下に尽くしたい
Ahhhh wish I was still a prince lol the British took my throne lol
I'm likely not seeing something....but here goes...Why not closed captions to identify each guest as they enter?
can someone leave a list of who’s who in order 👏🏽
Who are these people kissing the queen lol can Kate get a stylist like 🙄
Interesting!
Its beautyfull to see such high the princes and famlys
What the hell didn’t invite me ? 🥺🥺🥺
🤣🤣🤣 I Feel you ! Same here !🤣🤣🤣
Where is the Obi of Onitsha, Ooni of Ife and Emir of Kano
There's another vid with Prince Hans Adam 😭 just not included here ...
Hehe he's just my favorite royal...
The only one I know outside of the British one's are the Japanese monarchs, the Belgium King, and the gigantic Spanish King
Bella recepción encantadoras todas esas familias reales
Lalla Marieme, Moroccan princess 👸 💖 is the first foreign guest with her beautiful Moroccan traditional caftan . My greetings from Marrakech, Morocco 🇲🇦.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II. The world will miss you.
Constantine Glücksburg was ousted from the Greek throne in 1974 in a referendum which also decisively abolished monarchy (70%). Hardly a "sovereign monarch."
The Queens criteria for this lunch was to include those who had been monarchs as well as the current ones
It doesn't matter, internationally a King that has been ruling a country as a monarch, even if he has lost his throne is still regarded as a King.
I wish they captioned who is who
As Queen Margethe of Denmark said, the European monarchs are cousins, descended from Queen Victoria or Christian IX
tell that to the royals of the netherlands.
@@ruhalfoyls the Dutch Royal.family are descended from George II of Great Britain
God bless Queen Elizabeth II
Rest in peace
Viva Elisabetta! !!🌹🌹🌹
Hi Good morning, Amount And Lady's,
The moroccan princesses are so beatiful
Today is her 96th birthday, first time as widow
6 years ago there was another jubilee????
No this was actually 10 years ago, the video was uploaded 6 years ago
1:40 Who's that lady that bowed wearing some type of military suit? She's so adorable with that great big smile. :)
+Limegreenyummyyummy she is the head of the harem
do you know what's her name?
Limegreenyummyyummy Mozzah Bint nasser Al Missed Queen consort of Qatar
No I'm talking about the lady in the military uniform.
Aide-De-Camp to His Majesty King Harald of Norway
Nice to see Harry prior to his bewitching.
SO interesting to see who bows to whom, and the kissing too. It's all strict protocol related to hierarchy. Also interesting seeing who Phillip bows to and who bows to him. I wonder if his old title of Prince of Greece and Denmark comes into play.
I didn't even think about that. Prince philip and the exiled king Constantine of Greece are close cousins
Elizabeth II is the Head of the primary line of the Sax Coburg dynasty, despite it being called the house of Windsor she's the Great Great Grandaughter of Queen Victoria so the British Monarchy has seniority so those who are also descended from Victoria's of other royal lines show deference by the kiss on the hand.
Queen Elizabeth regards the European royal families as beeing related to the Windsors, as they are. Queen Victoria was grandmother of Europe because all of her children married into every royals familie of Europe.
@@normadesmond6017 dont beleave the house of orange is related.
his old titles mean nothing. He was created a prince of the UK in 1957, and that was his title for the remainder of his life. He was expected to bow to all monarchs and Queen consorts.
Bello ai lati della Regina ci sono rispettivamente gli ex Ré di Romania e Bulgaria, entrambe sono gli ultimi capi di Stato in vita della II Guerra Mondiale. Al giorno d'oggi , dopo la prematura scomparsa di Ré Michele di Romania , rimane solamente Ré Simeone di Bulgaria. Speriamo che in Bulgaria si restauri la Monarchia.
They should of had the only 3 Queen Regnants in the world (at that time) together in the middle for the photograph.
What’s a sovereign monarch for heavens sake?
