The Queen Mother seemed like she loved & supported her husband so, so much. He was so lucky to have her as his partner! What comfort she must've brought him!
She was a wonderful lady and supported him indeed. He had a stammer also.
I met her very briefly once. It was in 1977 when I was on a trip with my school. I was then 15 years old and could only understand a few words of English (I'm French). We were on the steps going up to St. Paul's Cathedral when someone came out making big gestures and closing the door to the public. There were about twenty of us on the steps when two huge cars stopped in front of the cathedral. An old lady got out of one car and 2 other people got out of the other car. The old lady was in front and went towards the front door. As I was almost in her way, she came to shake my hand with an incredible smile and say 2 or 3 words to me. Then she entered the cathedral. I knew from my teacher that she was the Queen Mother and that's when my legs started shaking :D She was just adorable.
What a memory for you....👑
She helped Charles cheat on Diana.
@@juliesprik9479 ridiculous comment
Virginie very nice recollection especially from a none brit. Some smiles are just magic. Whether Queen Mum or Diana.

George VI was a hero for stepping up to be King even though he felt unprepared for the job and forced into it by his brother.
Would have been hilarious if he'd said no. Talk abt a constitutional crises.
Poor thing cried on his mother’s shoulders!
In remebrace, Maam
The narrator at the background is spectacular...I can listen to her whole year round...perfect intonation...command of language....just perfect 😍
Not with that horrible intrusive R
I agree! ❤❤
What’s so remarkable about this woman who lived lavishly until the end, like there was no tomorrow. She spent millions of taxpayers money on clothing and other superficial rubbish. When she died, she left with millions in debt. Besides she was apparently extremely vindictive and nasty, especially toward princess Diana and making her country home available to Charles and Camilla. Who with a trace of decency, would do that ?

@@neytiriavatar140 couldn't agree more, a completely selfish utterly vain woman, but there's another world { after this } that isn't impressed with royalty from down here.
I feel like the fact that King George, or Bertie, had such a fear of public speaking endeared him more to the people, because it shows he is just as human as the rest of us.
He had a speech impediment. It’s in the movie the King Speech
If it was a secret that wasnt known to the public, how exactly did something secret garner public sympathy?
Those children had a horrible life. There didn’t seem to be a single bright spot until Diana came into the family.
Elizabeth and Margaret had a ok younger life, but Bertie, David and their siblings had a life of abuse. Prince Phillip’s life was sad and so was Charles. I guess things are better today, but not so fifty years ago.
@@shirleydrake1602 lol horrible? Pampered in the lap of luxury? I'm going to say W&H were spoiled to some extent. Sheltered, pampered into forced naivety. I've read books about starving children resorting to cannibalism, children forced into prostitution by their parents or their fellow urchins, children growing up in concentration camps - now those were horrible childhoods, Lady Granthamcrackers.
The photographs of the queen mother as a young lady are enchanting
Yes, she was a gracious lady.
Sort of like a camio.?
Agreed. Personally I tend to like her teenage looks rather than the short 1920's haircuts of her young adult hood and later life. Perhaps that is because of my modern tastes.

I noticed in one early photo shown of her with her siblings the high resemblance current Q.Elizabeth has to her.
WHAT A SUPERB DOCUMENTARY. SOME OF THE TV CHANNELS SHOULD LOOK AND LEARN. TOTALLY CHARMING 🌺🌺🌺🌸
I remember seeing Princess Diana when she came to Australia in the early 80s to support the bushfire recovery. I was in the crowd and she drove past smiling ill never forget her
I really enjoy hearing stories from those Queens of the past. Victoria, Mary, and Queen Mother. They were alive not that long ago, and yet those times also sound so distant in the mist of time.
I agree. I also enjoy hearing the stories about the Queens of the past: Victoria, Mary and the Queen Mother. Each left their own marks on their time as queen. This is a delightful history lesson.

Beautifully said
King George made me smile when he was having fun with a group of people and they did hand gestures and he had a huge smile and he kept looking at his wife. He really adored her and even though he always looked stoic, his wife always brought that smile on his face. This is a lovely side of the royalty.
Hello 👋
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
She rather ruled the roost, I've read. Steel hand in a velvet glove... She battled Philip for power and bossed Elizabeth around. She had been co-regent with her husband and didn't adjust well when Elizabeth ascended. Wouldn't move out of Buckingham Palace for the longest time.
She was a true monarch. Shaped by the high principles and ethics and selflessness they were taught as children. They were so noble. Today we give up on people so easily. Marriages have no commitment. That is why we are all falling apart. Mental health is such a problem. Sad world indeed.
Except she wasn't 'royal'. She was the daughter of a Scottish earl of ancient lineage.
There are remarkable outcomes from all modern monarchies...but the one strongest trait of the British throne....between Elizabeth and her parents....first and foremost they were what love stories were made of. May God Bless us all and help us to heal this hate-filled world and help to return us to a time... where true love and peace were our guiding lights. May Heaven help all of us to end this terrible violence and hate that are spreading like poison around the globe. In the name of our Savior Jesus Christ ... Please Lord, help us all.
Through all of the Queen Mother qualities, I think her devotion to her husband as his rock is what make her stand out from most royal marriages. That was a couple who had genuine love and happiness between each other, sad that through her extremely long life she couldn't spend more of it with her Bertie.
Equally devoted to her hats and all things she could spend money on without a thought. Apart of this, she was a very warm person who gave a lot of love to her family.
You mean after her advances on and rejection from the Prince of Whales ?

Our family revered George VI and Queen Elizabeth for setting an example of calmness and comfort to the population devastated by the bombings during WWII. The right man ascended the throne.
I agree with you. The right man ascended the throne. George VI and Queen Elizabeth had a way to set that example (something that David could never do) of calmness & comfort to the population of the UK during those awful bombings during WWII.
I loved Queen Mother saying after Buckingham Palace was bombed, "Im glad we've been bombed because now we can look at the East end in the face"..a part of Britain devastated by bombing during WW2
Yes a Queen Wallis would have been a tad disconcerting and Edward was such a pathetic specimen it would have definitely been Queen Wallis pulling. God I’m shuddering.
They are only people. They too shall give in account to God for their lives here on earth.
Actually not. They are all imposters.
It’s weird to think she was born when almost absolutely everyone in the world was born in the 1800s, and she died when there were about 5 of them left.

I love the 1920s fashion and the art deco vibe . I think her wedding dress was sublimely magnificent and so modern fot that period of time .
The Queen Mum's dress was seen as old-fashioned and frumpy back in 1923. It was not long before she found herself a new designer (it was Wallis who made fun of her awful dress sense that alerted her to her hopelessly poor taste).
@Nenethegreat W I'm still young to be married and yet I agree. "Vintage" wedding dresses look more elegant and beautiful. I appreciate the new designs for they speak of the modern times we live in today but in my opinion, they don't have that elegance and aesthetic of wedding dresses from 1920's.
I agree; the ‘medieval’ look with the Juliet veil is so gorgeous...if I get married I want a dress like that, complete with the Juliet cap.
the hats! The no bras fashions!
That, I can agree on.
I really love Diana. My mom.and her are the same age and the way she attends to her children on the balcony. Just so sweet.

She was absolutely beautiful. She had the most gorgeous, genuine little smile with that little tilt in her head and it was always, always there.
Behind that smile was the toughest of the tough!
@@nan7503 Absolutely and that made her even more beautiful
@@nan7503 One has to be tough in such a position. Only the weak quit and run away from royal duty.
Y’all must have been hypnotized to see what you saw in her. She was a bigot, she was rude to underlings, she was vile, n she spent money on frivolities like she had a bottomless barrel of money.
@@aliciablankenship6663the royalists love to gush over these parasites.
I love her private home, Castle of Mey in Caithness. It's full of family stuff , not grand and a real feeling of 'her home'. Her gardens are informal , and full of colour. Her love of farming where her Angus cattle are still bred.
Is it true that when she bought it She'd been walking by and fell in loe with it It had no water nor electric
Prince Charles opened a B & B on the grounds of the Castle of Mey last year, Jude Linsell. It`s called The Granary Lodge and has only 10 bedrooms. It looks exquisite.

Ah well. She had her reasons.

@@chomama1628 as an adult I understand that now... but I'm younger than both William and Harry, so without a documentary about her life I would never have been able to appreciate her.
My Grandmother was the same age as the Queen mother and looked very similar to her. She always dressed like the Queen Mother as well.
Great 👍
I vaguely remember when she died but had no idea who she really was. It wasnt until i watched the Kings Speech that i started to realise that without her Queen Elizabeth may not have been my queen today. That she was the strength behind the crown.
What a perfectly choreographed life
I am so fascinated by the British Royalty traditions. Most of the Royal Family women were and are so strong , each in their own ways, beautifully bound to family and duty to their country. According to my genealogy, my fifth great grandmother was the first Duchess / Princess of Sussex.
As an American , and now the matriarch of my family, I hope I live the long life as these women.
My heart goes out to the Queen on the loss of her husband, as I too lost mine at only 53 years. God bless her.

Highly chosen and blessed to live an enormous luxurious life.
The beloved Queen Mother.
22 years today. And like this year, an Easter Saturday too. We miss her presence..
Get a life-the royals couldn’t care less about you.
Never deny the loyalty of our people. We fiercely love our country, and our monarchy. God save the Queen
The queen mother was born a year earlier than my paternal grandmother. When I hear about her life story it gives me a frame of reference for my grandmother's life: WWI as teens, the Spanish Flu, being in their 20's during the roaring 20's, the Great Depression as young mothers, WWII, etc. Fascinating history.
@Derrick Bridges learn to read
The Princess Alexandra is a wonderfully kind lady with a wonderful memory for recognition and like all the Royals, she doesn't see the difference between theperso she is introduced to on a formal society evening and the "rough-neck' in his working togs the following week. Once she's met the person it is like it has been imprinted.
Love Lady Ogilvy!
Rest in peace Prince Philip, may God bless the queen and her family with so much peace and love.

Why? Do you know them? Have they done anything for u?
This was a delightful recount of history. As some of the royals fit like a gloves some that shouldn't be in charge. The QueenMother is a portrait of quite leadership. She was the wind behind his sails even after his death ,it is a tribute how she raised her daughter to fill the role as Queen of England. Such a fulfilled life. RIP Queen mother along with her son in law Prince Philip Mountbatten.

Gaynor Realtor Miami Absolutely. She wasn’t a very nice person by accounts. She liked her champagne and truffles.
Sara i disagree, good taste is generally educated or bred, and she didn’t lack either of these things.
Best Royal documentary ever!
I have watched this documentary many times. However, upon this viewing, I am so pleased to see the beaming Prince Philip walking his sister-in-law down the aisle. What a wonderful unit this family exhibited. Beautiful. That gesture exemplifies attainable royalty, in my opinion: i.e., a united family IS royalty. ❤
Queen Elizabeth II was such an adorable little girl.
Its amazing how they say Diana was a problem when she was perfectly fine until Charles disrespected her and their marriage by sleeping around with Camilla. They put her through hell as a young woman without a supportive mother to guide and comfort her.
You noticed that, too? Diana was amazing and we all certainly miss her. 💓🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I still hate Camilla and Charles i really wish the monarchy would skip them both and put Will and Kate on the throne.
diana was moody, but what do you expect from a 19 year old girl?
@@yoongs3878 when you're young and in love and see your fiance fooling around with someone close to the family and who befriended her, you would be moody too. She was in love with him and she realized he was in love with Camilla. That is a deal breaker.

It’s called keeping the fortune in the family many families married first and second cousins this is not unusual nor suspect good evening
@@lifesthehardestgame6863
"blue blood" is an expression that originally comes from the Iberian Peninsula during the century long moorish occupation ! The moors came from North Africa and were mainly "mulattos", or even black whereby the natives of the Iberian Peninsula were Europeans and light skinned, so that the visible veins beneath the skin appeared blue! So "blue blood" originally meant "native" and "christian", regardless of one´s social position
Third cousins and related to Queen Victoria a few generations back is fine.
Look up the Rogers, American hillbillies........ YOU WILL GET A SHOCK!!

"who became the first royal to divorce." The Church of England is based on a King trying to get divorced. Henry 8 was divorced twice. That is what is so bizarre about the Royal Family. The current family exist only because of a divorce.
No, henry VIII had annulments. George I was divorced. There was no issue with divorce per se, it was remarriage after divorce that was considered impossible.
The current family are reigning because Princess Charlotte (daughter of George IV) died in childbirth. Had she not died, Queen Victoria would likely never have even been born because, without Charlotte's death, there wouldn't have been a scramble to produce an heir to follow William IV.
Thats like saying if William and Mary had a child then the UK and the Netherlands would be the same country.

I remember it being quoted in 2 different books where the QM was being outfitted for white ostrich feathers from Paris to adorn one her hats. When it was mentioned to her that one ostrich feather would feed an unemployed miners family for a year, (this was back in the 1930's) the QM simply replied, and I'll take them in blue also. Does anyone else remember reading this?
This was quite interesting. I was never interested in the royal family before. I now have some understanding of the significance of English royalty as an American.
And see how she’s so gracious to those who serve her just looking in the eyes of a man closing the door of her cab for her most people don’t do that. Some people won’t even greet their Uber driver
I must admit, as an Aussie brought up as a "Monarchist" I absolutely loved "Her Majesty The Queen Mother". She appeared to be very "down to earth" and approachable to ordinary people. This was probably why I loved the BRF from birth, and I continue, in 2024 to follow The Royal family now. Thanks for the wonderful memories Your Majesty and to HMTQ.
So much respect for King George. He and Queen Elizabeth made a formidable power company.

Don't hey come from a German NAzi family? What about thpse secret Wold war II documents from the Germans to theis family....? I always thought the royals were German Nazis.
I’ve always thought that the marriage of the Queen mother and the King was a testament to how love can support and lift us to become more than we ever thought we could be. They seemed to bring out the best of each other, but then the Queen mother did that for so many throughout her life. I truly believe that she was the reason for whatever happiness the King was able to find in his life. She was such a wonderfully caring woman, with a very big heart.
I have no doubt she did the same for her daughter the Queen when she was forced into her crown so unexpectedly, despite being completely grief-stricken - it’s very well known how much Queen Elizabeth depended on her mother those first years, and I was deeply saddened when the Queen mother passed away. She was always my favourite of all the Royals - she wasn’t at ALL politically correct in private, lol, but then it’s impossible to compare her using today’s standards. She was incredibly politically astute, and I’m sure the royal PR team must have absolutely adored her.
I’ve often found it a bit odd that more wasn’t made out of the fact that that horrible woman, Simpson, and Edward were actually nazi sympathizers. (She was truly an absolutely beastly woman 😠).
@Wendy Oh, shut up ferchrissakes!
I find it fasinating how throughout Royal history the path of the crown has taken such divergent paths from what would have been originally expected. The crown has sat on many heads that were completely unexpected. In reality, Queen Elizabeth would be not be monarch if even the slightest difference happened during the past 1000 years. The stars pretty much had to align perfectly or we would see a very different royal family. I find it fasinsating how things like that happen.
The Crown find its way to exactly the person it is meant to go to
Her hats are so lovely. She seemed like a special lady.
I've always been fascinated and had great respect for the Royal family and its history. Thank you for this.

Im sick of Tacoma and I need horses in my life I won't lie lol. So you live in Korea usually? You must be doing some interesting work in Korea. Im very happy you will be reunited with your daughter. Im sure she is excited to have you coming for her soon. Please be safe. And tell me more. I don't use whats app or anything I don't like it but I do use messenger on Facebook for chatting.
James did you watch this Queen mother video?
What’s amazing is how passionate, how invested in the topic you all are. I’d love to see an age survey. However, from the content and knowledge(or lack of) shown, I’d guess most commenters are young, definitely under 30, many under 20, and I’d also guess a lot are American, and that very few are British.
So you can’t say the British Royal Family aren’t relevant. To inspire such passionate discussion in people who will never meet them, who have watched a 100 minutes about a lady whom many have trouble placing in history, whether or not the comments are favourable, means they are still relevant in some way.
I suppose it explains the massive tourist value which Royal supporters say the Royal family have for England.
Are you taking issue with young Americans finding such stories of state funded elitism fascinating? I always tell people that the queen may sit on a golden throne, but she still has to wipe her ass like anyone else. Although, she most likely enjoys a good stiff bide followed by a regimen including Masenguil Disposable Wipes. Out the door with purse in hand, clean as a whistle.

You are missing the point, entirely.
The queen mother had the most beautiful voice!
Queen Elizabeth II in her youth spoke in that same crystal clear accent but now speaks in a gentler accent
You guys really need to do the life of Mary of Teck. She really is of the most interesting! Strange you've sort of sidestepped her all around.
She went from seeing typewriters to seeing computers. 100 years and even lived to see the first 2 years of 21 century.
The Queen Mum instinctively knew the value of gratitude and a smile. Daughter Liz and grandson Charlie appear to have grey clouds always hovering near by.
What can you expect with the problems their family are causing
Hi Albert how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health.
It's just a thought but maybe it's because the Queen mum was a queen consort, rather than the actual monarch? There's less weight on a consort's shoulders. I also think that when Elizabeth II unexpectedly became queen at a very young age, it was in an era that was still very much a man's world, and, if memory serves, Churchill referred to her as a 'slip of a girl'. Maybe she felt that, to take on the role and prove herself, she had to maintain a serious outlook. You can imagine how she would have been received if she'd been seen nationally as a 'slip of a girl'.
@@pennylando3145 -- Excellent perspective! These are plausible explanations for QE2's manner, which often strikes me as disdainful, stern and gloomy. So the dour persona may have been the instinctive shield of a frightened young girl, and evolved into her concept of how a mature, serious, intelligent woman behaves when the eyes of the world are upon her.
@@jeanettestilwell2369 lol
I see she sometimes oversteps her daughter The Queen’s gestures lol It’s so cute.
Brilliantly played clips and well presented remarkable documentary ever saw on RUclips.
2:58 had to look twice there, George looks so much like his distant cousin, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia
Very much.
Why distant? They were first cousins. Their mothers, Queen Alexandra and Empress Mary, were sisters, princesses of Denmark
They were first cousins! They do look almost identical.Prince Michael of Kent has the same look!
They were cousins, but looked like twins.
Sometimes the King and the Tsar would switch uniforms and few would be the wiser.
I agree . The strength of character and kindness and humility
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
She was a True Lady, with grace, style, and poise. Loving to her family, bravely touring the city's after bombing raids, and helping to raise British People's moral during those incredible bad times. That alone took courage.
Spot on she was a wonderful person, many were interviewed when she died,ordinary people, all spoke well of her,its easy to spread false rumours when a person is dead,and mist if those who knew her gone as well, The Queen who had never put a foot wrong,was devoted to her mother,she is good judge of people,knew how indispensable she was to our King ,for that alonesheshould be honoured ,her memory not abused
Her brother in law King/Prince Edward asked Hitler to bring London to its knees 😢
@@johnungi7315 I know. What real shame that man was. Cancer took him .... Very slowly. One way or another...we all pay a price for our sins....I think that was his price.
May God's Grace and Blessings be with Us All.
@@brianeutzy3376 what a disgusting comment about his cancer the family you know as Windsor were German so why wouldn't he support Hitler yes they changed their name to .... Well u google it as you won't believe me ... but they can't change their blood
This was absolutely fantastic. Please, keep these coming!
What an interesting and entertaining way to spend a cold and rainy afternoon. Excellent history lesson as well 😄
Really? How boring!...
Alot of pish
I never knew Princess Diana and The Queen mother didn't get along. These two are my two favourites royals who are now both passed on. Both women were very special. May they RIP.
Same I loved them both. RIP to them
Rest in peace Dodi al Fayed. 🕊
As I understood it QM was supposed to "educate" Diana into the do's and don'ts of royal life before the marriage. However when it became obvious that Diana was more "popular" than QM and she refused to cover up "big ears's" infadelity the QM changed attitudes because of the adverse publicity Diana's actions brought on.
Well Diana was loved by the world 🌎, but never by her husband!!
That little town was so beautiful! I love that it was drizzling and a little ❤! Thanks for taking us shopping, its always so cool to see the little stores and the antiques! I could spend hours in one of those places! Lancelot running down the stairs to you was everything!! He loves you both so much, and Marie is his best friend!❤
Thank you for this delightful history lesson. I think it would be easy for modern people to be jealous of the Queen Mother who had a delightful life. I enjoyed catching up with the history of Royal Family members of whom little is shown nowadays. I love the Monarchy and all the connections and continuity with the history of Great Britain. I think a lot of people take it for granted and do not know what a blessing it is. It belongs to the Nation, and it does not depend on personality so much as an appreciation of History.
Thank you for your positive remarks . You are quite right an appreciation of history and respect that is being lost on some of the younger generation
@Kandy Kandy He thanked someone for a positive message.How is it that you find fault with that
BLUE BIRD .... you have to remember there are 3 other countries ! England gets everything ! And the rest are red hair stepchilds ! Not everyone is a Royalist ! I didn’t care for any of them ! But personally think the QM was not very nice!! I met her once and was not impressed!
She really wasn’t nice to Dianna, when Dianna lived with her before wedding ! QM was coaching or training her for her future duties ??
Most people who live there could care less about the pomp and circumstance !! Wasn’t that long ago that there was an uproar about none of the Royals paying taxes! They do now !!
William and Catherine will bring a newer younger generation as I think they are well liked ! And their children are adorable !
Maybe some didn't like her racism , cheap opportunism and classism . Children think in terms of jealousy .I hate the monarchy and what it did to my ancestors . Was it her feeling about Jews that impresses you ? Or how she deemed black people , Japanese or anything non white ? Was it her sympathy for Hitler that you admired ? I count my blessing that my family survived British tyranny , greed and blood lust . The sun has set on the British empire . Thank God !
@Kandy Kandy The Queen's House of Windsor is of German paternal descent and was originally a branch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. This derived from the House of Wetin, which succeeded the House of Hanover to the British monarchy following the death of Queen Victoria, the wife of Albert, Prince Consort. Educate yourself and ease up on the caps , it just confirms you are emotionally driven and not too bright . She sympathised with Hitler and approach the British parliament about it . It is all documented .
I love the movie The Kings Speech! Edward has a stutter also. Their father sure did a number on those kids.
Wasn't that movie about King George 6th stammer?
@@khernandez46 yes, and the people who helped him deal with it.
I will always miss the Queen Mother she was & always will be the best Queen of England United Kingdom
What a wonderful woman. Rest In Peace dear mother ❤️🙏
They should have given a more realistic portrait of the Queen Mother. Along with her good traits maybe include the fact she was a heavy drinker and big spender. She had no respect for budget. The life she lived was one of extreme privilege and not always acceptable but seldom talked about.
They barely touched on the extravagance and waste. She was monstrous to Diana.
This was such a delightful video! I am such a fan of both Queens.
Hello Debra
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
“Lest we forget “ that time on earth . Prince Phillip . Thank you. RIP
Many thanks, may it never happen again
Lovely documentary, so many excellent contributing commentating specialist historians so pleasant to hear. I especially so like to listen to Sarah Bradford for her forthright but empathetic style. Thank you so much for it all, a joy to see and hear.
*#Thank** you very much for your History Information, "Real Royalty Channel"🇬🇧🤝🌎✍️👍🙏*
I’ve always heard and prefer to believe the the Queen Mother was a serious but fun loving person. Even more as she got older.
When she bypassed Wallis & went straight to The King that was correct protocol! When the king is present he's the 1st to be "noted" THEN comes the host/hostess. So I hope everyone in attendance bowed to King FIRST then to "Mrs Simpson"
Another wonderful video. Fascinating.
Helloo
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Love all these royal documentaries..😊
why, forchrissakes???
Imagine if her poor husband had had to be the monarch without her? I don't think he could have done it. She was his rock.
I can understand the resentment toward the Duke's abdication. Simpson was a terrible woman.
@@joanodom2104 I mean, she was a Nazi sympathiser so yeah, terrible. :)
Not surprised the queen and king got on well with the Roosevelts. They were, all four, high born, rich, and well educated, but also practical, down-to-Earth people with social justice concerns.
Yeah, sure.
This is one of the best on this topic I've ever seen! So detailed, and in information I've never heard before.
Now thsts a word you never really hear you may read but I have very rarely heard anyone say chagrin.The commentator just used it there
