      It was Edward VII who made Buckingham Palace more into what it's like now.
      When you see things like that the representation or which ever of the countries that make either GB or the UK up (though Wales because it being a Prince of Pality doesn't usually get represented). It's like with the Crown Jewels, especially with the Imperial State Crown they actually mean something each bit of it, like the Black Princes Ruby (though it's not a Ruby its a spinal). Is what Henry V I believe it was took into the Battle of Agincourt.

    Believe it or not, hand on my heart it’s true, my dad was a chauffeur in Royal service and we lived at the Royal Mews. As a kid, it was a different world. When I lived there (early 60s) we were required to be on best behavior at all times. We had to wear a collar and tie and a cap and we had to raise our hats to all adults. On the plus side, I’ve sat in the Queens Rolls Royce (for about 20 seconds and wasn’t allowed to touch anything) and I also got to sit in the Gold Coach for about 10 seconds. I’ve always maintained, the Royal Mews is where they keep the horses, the carriages, the cars and the servants…..in that order 😊

    Years ago, 1969, I saw the Queen, Prince Philip and Princess Anne in the Scottish State Coach. I was shopping in Edinburgh and just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The coach and horses were beautiful and I was amazed by how clearly I could see the Royal family. The glass roof makes all the difference and the height of the carriages mean that even people at the back of the crowd can see.

    I ‘went to’ Will and Kate’s wedding back in 2011! My dad was a member of the Royal Society of materials and sciences (or something like that) and their headquarters were lucky enough to be on the mall, with a balcony overlooking the parade route. I was sixteen, had my first glass of champagne, and watched the royal procession! The pomp and circumstance of it all was amazing, I loved seeing the horses and carriages, all the soldiers and the bands. It was a fantastic day, my dad invited his mum too, who is a working class northern woman who LOVES a party. She still says it was one of the best days of her life, and she glows with pride whenever she has a chance to talk about it! My dad is the first person in our family to go to uni, and to be able to invite his mum down to London to attend a big fancy party and to see the queen in her carriage and royal family was such a special thing for him to get the opportunity to do.
    I know things like this can seem silly to people from other countries, but it’s really special, especially for our older generations!

    The word mews comes from the Royal Mews in London, England, a set of royal stables built 500 years ago on a former royal hawk mews.
    Hawk Mews was a place where the King kept his hunting birds,they were said to make a sound called "Mewing".So there you go!

It was a yearly tradition where The Queen would have guests to come to Windsor Castle for a lunch followed by a days racing, they travel from The Castle to The race course in full procession. There’s also a documentary of a90 year old Queen Elizabeth being interviewed about her coronation. As well as The Queen saying how uncomfortable the ride was, she also speaks about wearing a Crown and the weight of it. The Queen had to stop wearing the crown in more recent years coz her head and neck couldn’t cope with that hefty weight anymore.

    In the 1980s the Queen allowed the Civil Service Riding Club to stable their horses in the Royal Mews, and to use the indoor school for lessons (we rode out to Hyde Park, for exercise too - smart riding clothes were required for anyone seen riding out of the Mews!). The working stables are much less grand, but more comfortable for the horses. The Queen used to use the indoor school (not shown in the video) to practice riding side-saddle before the Trooping of the Colour.

    If you look at the paintwork on all coaches except the Gold State Coach, all the details, coats of arms, emblems, etc are painted by hand by coach painters, the brushes often being just a few hairs or even just one.
    My great-grandfather was a master of the guild of coach painters in Aberdeen, and every year he would go to Mar Lodge near Balmoral to spruce up the carriages kept there for the then Princess Royal, the daughter of Edward VII, before the Royal Family came for their holidays in Scotland.

    We are lead to believe by the left wing press that the majority of Americans cannot bear our royal family but after watching you two i find it hard to believe , don't believe what you read or hear on the left wing M.S.M , 90% of British folk love our royal family and are extremely proud of them , good luck to you both

    Thanks for this video, there's so much I didn't know!
    I've seen a few videos by this woman. She does some really good tours of London, including cemeteries. I find her Irish accent very soothing. Much softer and enjoyable than my broad Scottish accent lol
    I'm planning on watching the coronation at home alone with Alfie, my little chihuahua for company. I'm really looking forward to all the pomp and circumstance. I can't wait to see all the outfits and hopefully tiaras as well 😊

    There are quite a lot of mews houses in the middle of London - usually the expensive parts - where the wealthy kept their horses. They are fairly tall and narrow with some as much as 5 stories high. Where the horses were is now, of course, where the cars are parked. When you come over you could treat yourselves to a B&B in a mews. I used to visit the racing driver Stirling Moss in his mews house at Shepherd Street in Mayfair. He had turned it into a high tech house because he loved his gadgets. He even had a heated loo seat when no-one had heard of such a thing! 😀

    We took my daughter and her school friends up to London on a sight-seeing day-trip during the school holidays. We saw the State Rooms inside Buckingham Palace which were quite something. We loved going to the Royal Mews too and seeing the carriages and cars. We didn't see the beautiful greys that day - may be without a guide we missed it. Although we had seen the golden coach on tv quite a lot of times, to see it in 'real life' was a completely different experience. It was larger than we imagined and, even though we spent quite some time walking around it, we kept seeing different details. It is simply jaw dropping. On this tour with you today we learnt much more about the carriages than we learned before - so thank you. Earlier we'd watched the Changing of the Guard - like a proper tourists, before walking down the Mall, through to Admiralty Arch, to gawp at Trafalgar Square. Our little band had a wonderful day.

    Funny moment, many years ago, think it was Balmoral. The queen decided, which she often did, popped to the local shop,
    A shopper/tourist, was in the shop, queen walked in, shopper stopped, stared for a moment , amd said “oh wow, you look just like the Queen”
    Which the Queen replied “I am the Queen” 😂
    To say the toursit was gobsmacked, was a understatement 😂

    As a kid of about 10 my school did a trip to London (my 1st visit) & besides going to 4 theatres - one was Agatha Christies The Mousetrap - we were taken to the Royal Mews to see all the horses, carriages & so on, brilliant for all us kids. The final night was a visit to The Tower of London to see the "Ceremony of the Keys". This happens every day at 10pm on the dot, never, ever late. I should think its on youtube somewhere if you want to watch it. All this almost 70yrs ago, time flies, memories stay with you!!
    The Mousetrap started in 1952 & is running to this day albeit at a different theatre.

    Good morning ladies. As always, an interesting watch. I learned a few things which, as a Brit, I thought I already knew.
    I don't know if you already know the story behind the Order of the Garter? The legend is that one of our Mediaeval Kings (?Edward III? Not quite sure) was hosting a banquet. During one of the ladies lost her garter and her stocking fell down. Everyone laughed except the king, who snatched up the garter and shouted the words that are now the motto of the Order. "Honi soit qui mal y pense". Shame on the one who thinks ill of this. To relieve the lady's blushes, he then tied the garter round his own leg (as if to say "Take the p**s out of me if you dare!") and insisted on having the next dance with the lady who owned the garter.

I only know this, because years ago I looked it up. Keep up the good work please; your videos are great!

    It's great that two coaches will be used for the coronation procession; the Diamond Jubilee State Coach (the newest addition with the hydraulics and was made in Australia) will take Their Majesties to Westminster Abbey, and the Gold State Coach will transport them back to Buckingham Palace following the coronation.

    They don't only use the horse-drawn coaches to move the mail between the palaces, they have regular modern Royal Mail vehicles as well - you quite often see one parked in the corner of the front courtyard of Buckingham Palace.

    If you think of the noise that most hawks and falcons make, you'll understand where the word "mews" come from. These places used to be where the royals and the aristocracy kept their hunting birds. When that went out of fashion, these buildings became stables and later on some were converted into garages for the rich to keep their fleets of cars and others became rows of houses.
