I remember my entire family reeling in the wake of Diana's untimely death, with my mum being in floods of tears, and taping every news coverage of the tragedy that she could. She really looked up to Diana.
I'm an American and I cried for a week. Elizabeth was my second cousin, you see, and I admired her a great deal. Victoria was my 3 times great grandmother. Her daughter, Princess Victoria, was my two times great grandmother. Her son-in-law, Kaiser Wilhelm II, was my great granduncle. I am a duchess myself, by birth. Charles is my second cousin once removed, and William is my second cousin twice removed. It is so hard to remember to say King, when all my life, it's been Queen. I rather thought she might outlive me, haha. I don't think anyone is going to break Her Late Majesty's record of longest reigning monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II’s passing. Extended members of the family being hospitalized for mental illness and declared dead. The refusal of the British Royals to safeguard the Romanov family. Prince Philip’s mother being institutionalized and his sisters dying in a plane crash. Lord Mountbatten’s assassination. I’m a bit shocked none of these were included.
the reason why Edward VIII abdicated is simply cuz the Anglican Church is firmly against divorce, or more specifically marrying a divorcee (as it signifies that the prospective new Queen is not a virgin). While the Church is slightly less restrictive against men divorcing, as the emphasis lies more on the woman being divorced, it is still heavily frowned upon and as the head of the Anglican Church, the British Monarch must obey the sovereignty of the Lord God. In Charles' case, while it was still frowned upon, it was decided that since he already sired heirs with his legal wife Diana, she already fulfilled her duty as a Queen, so Camilla didn't need to. But the Church was still adamant on not hosting a Royal wedding for a divorcee, so their wedding was held at Windsor Guild Hall, not a church.
We lost two great people Princess Diana and our newly departed Queen Elizabeth. Both are strong, intelligent, empathetic and kind women who the whole world loved
People do realise that in History, the Kor-I-Noor was given to Queen Victoria by her husband Prince Albert, who always had the diamond cut down due to him believing that the shine of the jewel wasn't quite right. Am I the only person who ever paid attention in school?
Yes, you are one of the people who only paid attention in school to what you wanted to hear apparently. If you were taught correctly you’d know that before it was “given” to Queen Victoria, it was most certainly and factually STOLEN!!!
The criticism & hate for Meghan Markle is too convenient & misplaced. Prince Harry spoke about lack of support in his life for years. And because he married someone who showed him unconditional love & a different way of life, she gets the blame. Meghan may not have been an A-lister, but she made her own money & was business savvy. Both she & Harry said she was taking care of the both of them when he was bound by the firm & unable to earn his own money. I often ask if this would be an issue if she weren't mixed or American.
That’s the point. It wouldn’t be an issue if she was a white Brit. Meghan is also a divorcee so there’s an extra layer of shit the family can throw at her.
Well, go back to post divorce Diana for the answer to that question. "The Firm" didn't have a problem with any guy she dated until it was a man of color. Then they had her stalked by the paparazzi to the point she was murdered by them. They never had a problem with a single woman Harry dated either.... until it was a woman of color in Meghan Markle. Then the media was told to go on a full on racist blitz against her. That family has ALWAYS been a devoutly racist family. Kate Middleton is a racist. William didn't learn a thing from his mother about how to be a good person, and instead took after his racist, father and grand father. Meghan was the one who made Harry look at things through her eyes, having dealt with racism her entire life, to understand things and he started getting it and basically left the Royal Family because of it. Yes, Harry had his demons, but he's clearly learned from his mistakes and comes across as a genuinely good guy.
Harry and Meghan continuing to exploit and leech off their titles is a current annoyance for many people. Harry backtracked on the racism accusations against his family, though it is ironic that he's responsible for multiple racist moments from the past. Not sure why colonialism is constantly held over their heads when it was many countries and their governments that were responsible. Same goes for slavery, Britain was just slightly better at it at a certain time, if it wasn't Britain it was another Empire doing it. Perhaps they could give back jewels and other acquisitions gained from the past, but if that sets a precedence, many countries have things gained from others, including from Britain. Will it turn into a free-for-all. Britain could demand reparations from being ravaged by Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans....but people realize it would be silly to hold the present responsible for the past.
They're relevant to me. I may be American, but the Queen was my second cousin, and Charles is my second cousin once removed. I have a great deal of admiration for my cousins.
@@Sahyravlogsxo That's your problem. We've done our genealogy. I'm also a direct descendant of President Rutherford B Hayes. If you were to put a picture of me next to the Kaiser, you couldn't miss the resemblance. But you believe whatever you want. I don't really care.
The most disgusting thing is still, STILL refusing to return everything of worth they stole from their colonial days. Still having tax payer pay for upkeep of.castles no one stays at... saddest is Diana's death

This entire video is full of rubbish. Easy to make statements without providing proof. I am so disappointed in your lack of actual factual information.
The abdication did indeed happen Diana dying also happened Meagan and Harry leaving the family happened the divorces happened Buckingham Palace catching fire happened how about instead of acting like this is all a lie everything this video says happened to the royal family and there is indeed proof to support what is published
Diddy will disappear because of he invited His Majesty Prince Harry to his party. 100% that’s the only reason, no Jay Z, no Dicaprio, no Ellen, etc. please don’t un-alive me for saying this! I respect the monarchy, I’m Canadian.

Great Britain dodged a heat-seeking missile when Edward VIII abdicated. He would have handed over his people to Hitler in a heartbeat.
Yes
Yeah considering it became well known he and Wallis hosted the most hated of the Third Reich often

My aunt was in tears when Diana died
The worst day in the monarchy for me was when we lost our Sovereign Lady, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

@@ecclestonsangel you’re right, it won’t unless George inherits the throne at 18 and lives as long as she did or longer.
I’m American and I was floored to learn Queen Elizabeth died. I always figured she would outlive nearly everyone in her family including Charles
@@LucyLioness100 Oh, me, too. She just always seemed like a fixture of British government and society. It really broke my heart when she left us.
Elizabeth is dead ❤️

Happy tuesday afternoon, Kirsten, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
What the hell are you talking about in regards to the video?
@Camman010 i haven't watched Wicked, so i have no personal opinion
Dont forget about the royal financials.
1992 was a bad year for britian in general. Black Wednesdayvwas something else
Over the years the monarch is just a figurehead. But they are less and less over the years.
Diana died on my granny’s 53rd birthday
I'm curious, what does the English monarchy actually do? I'm American so I don't know.
Tourism cash cow
Suck money from English people

Thank you!!!! Finally somebody with some sense!!!
I wonder the same.
I couldn't have said it better myself, thank u for having a brain and not going along with the media

Oh you mean the British royal family
Edward VIII was never crowned
The Royals are no longer relevant.
They're relevant to me. I may be American, but the Queen was my second cousin, and Charles is my second cousin once removed. I have a great deal of admiration for my cousins.

I no longer care for William, Kate or the rest of the Royals. They are not the angels people think they are. I am glad Harry left.
Harry was another failure and a mistake. Anything he and his wife say is questionable and fictional. No doubt about it.

Just look at what the US took from Germany during and after WWII. I totally agree with you.

With the exception of Meghan’s allegations of racism, most of the others are fairly well documented throughout history.
