I don't think the Queen Mum was being disrespectful to the Queen. I read her and her husband never adhered to protocol with their girls they never made them curtsey to them but apparently Queen Mary was the opposite she kept to protocol at all times
From what I've read the Queen Mother seen her daughter's reign as little more than a continuation of her own and would act as such. They argued over the Queen Mother's ridiculous spending habits once and her mother remarked "who do you think you are?!" To which Elizabeth replied "the Queen mummy. The Queen."
I love the deep curtsey that Dowager Queen Mary gives to her granddaughter. You can hear the floorboards literally creaking beneath her when she lowers herself, as if the building itself is feeling the weight and gravity of the situation.
I don't blame the Queen Mother or anyone for being upset with Edward. She actually refused George's proposal TWICE because she didn't want royal life and in her words, "afraid never, never again to be free to think, speak and act as I feel I really ought to". Not only was she thrusted on the top, she watched her husband fall apart from the stress and die.
Her husband died from smoking. He was a chain smoker who lost a lung to lung cancer and who had Buerger's disease which is caused by smoking. The Queen Mother refused to ever admit that his own smoking killed her husband. But Princess Elizabeth knew --- why do you think she insisted that Philip stop smoking when they married? That insistence of Elizabeth's is why Philip lived to be 99 years old.
@@SymphonyBrahms But why was he stressed when he was a constitutional monarchy. He didn't make any big decisions. If anyone should have been stressed it should have been Churchill.
The Duke of Windsor made his choice and now he has to live with the consequences. I think it was good that he was at the funeral of his brother, but at the same time, I don't blame the rest of the family with how they felt towards him.
@@kincaidwolf5184 Actually it wasn't Elizabeth who refused to acknowledge Wallis Simpson she would have been a kid when they married so it had nothing to do with her. Her father and grandmother were the ones who refused to accept Wallis the Queen mum may have supported her husband but she wouldn't have had much of a say in it as her husband was the King she was his consort she has to go with what he decides plus it was over 80 years go and in that era a King marrying a twice divorced woman who he had an affair with was very scandalous, the church didn't permit remarriage after a divorce especially not with two living ex husbands and Edward as King has to support the church's teachings since he was the surpreme head of the church, marrying Wallis would require the church to ex communicate him and the government to resign. Plus Wallis and Edward were Nazi sympathisers and when France was invaded by Germany the Duke and Duchess fled to Portugal and stayed with a friend who was known for having ties with the Nazis. The Duke had to be threatened with a court martial before he went to the Bahamas as the Governor general. The Queen may well have refused to allow the Duke to come back to Britain after her father died but Edward agreed to that when his brother became King and he was given an allowance paid for by his brother because he was no longer entitled to a civil list allowance and he lived comfortably for the rest of his life which was more than he deserved since he sold Britain down the river to the Nazis! Before Harry married Meghan the was a law or royal decree passed that states only direct heirs to throne now require the permission of the Sovereign to marry and since William has produced three heirs Harry no longer needed that permission since he will never be King and the church does now allow remarriage after divorce and Meghan may be a divorced American but she doesn't have ties to Britain's enemies like Wallis Simpson did look up the marboug files they aren't just fiction from The Crown they're real files that show the Duke and Duchess were indeed Nazi sympathisers.
Also because of an early case of mumps as a child, the former king was actually sterile so Elizabeth would have been made queen anyway (although it would have been quite later on in her life).
@@Allthingsasian It's very rare someone becomes sterile after having the Mumps since the odds are 1 in 10 for men. David never wanted to be king in the first
By calling her Shirley Temple he was implying that Queen is popular little girl and she don't have mind of her own. she do what she has been told to do by her handlers. (queen mother and courtiers) He was undermining her abilities and authority.
It's implying she's a naive little girl who is nothing more than window dressing. She's adorable and makes people smile but she isn't an intelligent adult. Remember he says to her face she has no mind of her own.
Shirley Temple, the star of "Heidi" as I remembered as a kid, was just two years younger than Queen Elizabeth. they were of the same generation. It was obvious that they share many similarities not just in appearance but also in character.
@autumnfranklin6790 yes. Queen Mary was Queen Dowager. Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon refused to be redundant as Queen Dowager. So, she harangued until she received Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. It must have killed her tender ego. ER II gave her precedence as Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon kept her court and what power she had.

And now they have a King that effectively did the same as Edward ie, put a relationship before his duty as Monarch ... and its now accepted. And furthermore, a divorced woman is now queen, which Wallis was denied. I say good on Edward!
@johnjames6620 There's one rather large difference. Charles wanted to marry Camilla back in the 1970s when they were both single and young, but the Queen Mother said no. The same Queen Mother, then Duchess of York, who intrigued against "David", because he didn't want to marry her and she wasn't about to genuflect to Wallis, a divorced American. So, were I you, I'd read King of Fools. It's an eye opener on the wife of King George VI and how she interfered in what should have been her daughter, ER II's prerogatives.

@@onemercilessming1342 Ok. Still, I think they take up too much press much. It's not that I dislike them, I just don't see why people give a damn about (say) what William says about climate change or anything else for that matter. It seems that their main aim is to preserve their privilege.
She called him "Peter Pan", and his promises to make her queen Wallis the " Peter Pan Plan". Her letters to her ex-husband continued on years after she married Edward, and she did not hold back in her dislike of the royal family.
Wallis Simpson & the Duke of Windsor called Queen Elizabeth the Queen mother, Cookie or the fat Scottish cook. I’m sure they thought they were being clever or witty. But actually they were showing their true colors, being petty and shallow
They called her that because there were rumours that Queen mother and her younger brother David were illegitimate children of Her father Claude George Bowes Lyon, 14th Earl of strathmore & family franch cook Marguerite rodiere.

The Queen knew all about it. The Queen Mother left The Queen her entire estate worth £60 million, so it wasn't a bad trade. It was actually The Queen's decision to allow her mother to continue with her lifestyle, and to pay for it. There are two sides to every story, not just the one that most people hear about.
@@happyicare5053 Yes, really. The Queen understood that her mother was from a generation and background that meant she would find it hard not to do what she was used to. Plus, of course, the king died far too young, he was just 56, so The Queen Mother was left bereft and alone aged just 56. The Queen did a generous and noble thing, just as her father would have done.
Hanz zimmer only wrote the opening theme. the rest of the soundtrack for season 1 and the soundtrack for season 2 were done by Lorne Balfe. I thought both were excellent.

@@athenstar10 Edward had this nickname for her in real life, it's not the writer's invention. He called her that because he thought, quoting him in the show, she had "no mind of her own": she's doing what she's told to do (he's comparing her to a child star doing what she's told to do by her managers).

Shirley was a married woman with children by this point, but his reason for calling her that is to compare her to the Shirley in her heyday, an innocent little girl who was naivete about the world around her and went around singing and dancing and pretending everything was sunshine and rainbows. It was meant as an insult.
@@piratesswoop725 Her Uncle called her that, and since Elizabeth was only a few years older than Shirley Temple I don't think it was an insult as she was 10 when he abdicated and then she did not see him again until she was Queen, at 26, when her grandmother, Edward's mother, became ill, so he could pay his respects.
Allegedly one of the QM’s own nicknames (I think there were 2) was Cookie, since they thought she looked like a fat Scottish cook. I don’t know if the nickname thing is actual fact, but it’s also mentioned in The King’s Speech.
@@DragonHeir92 Another reason for this nickname would be that the QM and her youngest brother David would not really be the children of their mother Cecilia Cavendish-Bentinck but of the cook of the Bowes-Lyon family, Marguerite Rodier.
Won't matter as Harry is so far down the line, he will never be King. After his father he is behind his brother William and then William's 3 children, and possibly more later on. Given childhood deaths are rare today, Henry will never be King.
The Duke & Duchess will also be present for the coronation of the Duke’s father at Westminster Abbey. They will be decked in royal regalia, the Duchess will be dripping in diamonds and wearing a coronet. Harry is still a beloved son of the future sovereign and will expect him and his wife to participate in the royal procession.
Harry and Meghan will be sitting with the rest of the family. As far as precedence, they move up (they will then become son and daughter-in-law of the monarch.
Just a guess--- cute but no real brains or powet-- like a " Shiley Temple" is a cocktail drink with no alcohol, no kick. And at that time Shirley Teme was a child actress-- a character put out for show....

Shirley was a married woman with children by this point, but his reason for calling her that is to compare her to the Shirley in her heyday, an innocent little girl who was naivete about the world around her and went around singing and dancing and pretending everything was sunshine and rainbows. It was meant as an insult.
@@piratesswoop725 Her Uncle called her that, and since Elizabeth was only a few years older than Shirley Temple I don't think it was an insult as she was 10 when he abdicated and then she did not see him again until she was Queen, at 26, when her grandmother, Edward's mother, became ill, so he could pay his respects.
How did QM know HMQ was known as that
Allegedly one of the QM’s own nicknames (I think there were 2) was Cookie, since they thought she looked like a fat Scottish cook. I don’t know if the nickname thing is actual fact, but it’s also mentioned in The King’s Speech.
@@DragonHeir92 knew the...cookie one but what's the second 😂🐯😜
@@jasonbatty1011 The second nickname was the fat Scottish cook.
@@DragonHeir92 Another reason for this nickname would be that the QM and her youngest brother David would not really be the children of their mother Cecilia Cavendish-Bentinck but of the cook of the Bowes-Lyon family, Marguerite Rodier.
And hers is Cookie 😂
Can't stand the queen mother. She and Charles are the most evil.
Charles is not evil. You just don't understand him.
@@ianumpil873 yeah. He didn't have a really nice and memorable childhood, but he did treat Diana badly.
I like the queen mother. But I don't like Charles. He cheated on Diana, then married his old cow mistress.
When The Queen dies, I wonder where they’ll seat Harry and Meghan.
Won't matter as Harry is so far down the line, he will never be King. After his father he is behind his brother William and then William's 3 children, and possibly more later on. Given childhood deaths are rare today, Henry will never be King.
I don’t mean in terms of succession. I mean in terms of all of the public brouhaha over Harry and Meghan leaving.
They will be seated with the rest of the family up front in the Abbey.
The Duke & Duchess will also be present for the coronation of the Duke’s father at Westminster Abbey. They will be decked in royal regalia, the Duchess will be dripping in diamonds and wearing a coronet. Harry is still a beloved son of the future sovereign and will expect him and his wife to participate in the royal procession.
Harry and Meghan will be sitting with the rest of the family. As far as precedence, they move up (they will then become son and daughter-in-law of the monarch.
Just a guess--- cute but no real brains or powet-- like a " Shiley Temple" is a cocktail drink with no alcohol, no kick. And at that time Shirley Teme was a child actress-- a character put out for show....
❤❤❤❤❤
Ha dicho killed?
Lo dice en sentido figurado, David, el hijo mayor "mató" a Albert lanzándole encima la responsabilidad de ser rey cuando David prefirió abdicar la corona para poder continuar su relación con Wallis Simpson
@@memc0282 Ah vale jo que susto
I’m sensing some attitude from the queen mother 😒
Burned
Now i realize why Queen Elizabeth wont abdicate, coz she dont want to curtsy before anybody else
especially the new Queen....
@@chadoakley8505 opps
What a load of tosh!
Bitches, Poor Shirley Temple
Queens do not curtsey to queens! - reigning or not.
Yes they do. Dowager queen consorts curtsey to queen regnants.
@@ahmedzahir2865 No, they do not. Give me an example on tape.
@@pneron2032 I happen to have a life to live, so I won't do that, but you can search up court etiquette around the world, and by that I mean outside Europe too. You will see the queen mother curtsey to her daughter at her Coronation on video.
@@ahmedzahir2865 A coronation is a special religious event. In normal life, they do NOT curtsey. We have multiple examples from the current day (e.g. Queen Sofia, the former Empress of Japan etc.). Outside of Europe/Japan jet-set "royal" etiquette means nothing, Ahmed. Goodbye.
@@pneron2032 Goodbye.
And the Queen Mother's nickname was supposedly the Fat Scottish Cook, or Cookie.
