There is a great story about the queen when she was shopping near Balmoral. A tourist asked her if she had ever meet the queen. With out blinking Her Man pointed to her body guard and replied " no , but he has " What a gal!!
Once when her majesty was shopping, a lady made a comment to her, " do you know, you look very much like The Queen? her majesty looked at her and smiled and said, "How very reassuring" we just love her.
Best thing about the James Bond skydiving stunt for the London Olympics in 2012 it was said she didn't tell anyone she had filmed this including the family and as she emerged into the stadium their faces were a picture and she had a sort of little 'well that surprised you all' smile on her face. 👑 🏟️ 🏅
They missed a trick, there should have been a longer pause between the skydive and her entrance in the stadium and she should have had a bit of grass on her shoulder that she brushed off as she entered.
On top of that, she insisted she would only take part if she had a talking role, saying "Good evening, Mr Bond". She fully entered into the spirit of it.
Your relationship with her Majesty has grown to the point that you're requesting her to help to fix your lawn mower?! That's impressive. You're funny, JT. A little tonic in our lives.
I’m 65. British. I dread the day when I no longer have this beautiful lady as my Queen. An outstanding monarch, role model and an example to us all, in what doing a job well means. Thank you QE2.
I feel that now old man, I cannot see Charles being able to make much of a difference at his age. RIP Elizabeth from the house of Windsor, the greatest head monarch that ever lived. Remember, she put us, the UK, before her own family & her devotion to duty & promise, was utterly fulfilled with distinction. ❤️🇬🇧 Elizabeth 2nd🇬🇧❤️
Lmao "I might be the crazy one, I'm talking to a cardboard cut-out" 😂🤣 You need to watch the London Olympics 2012 opening, it was utterly incredible! Haven't seen and opening like it, was magical!
@@Bellabob Ive suggested to many of our American reactor friends, about watching clips from the 2012 London games. Especially the opening ceremony: Industrial revolution & the lighting of the olympic flame.. But nothing? Maybe due to copyright issues or RUclips not allowing. 🇬🇧
Dead right. I've been a republican most of my life, but I was sad when Philip died and no doubt I'll be sad when Lizzy goes. You can be opposed to a system but still respect people as individuals.
I’m in my 20’s, and I can’t fault her to be honest. I also respected Prince Philip, I mean the man served his country during WWII (he was even mentioned in dispatches), he established the DofE scheme which has helped many young people from all backgrounds, etc. My grandparents told me her dad was a good monarch as well, which I can believe as a history geek. ;) I’m an RAF brat and my brother is in the RN reserves, so maybe I’m a bit more respectful about these things than my peers...🤔
@@phoenixrose1192 So well put it is difficult to convey the fact we were all in it together meant so much. Morale was an important part of our strength to hold out.
@@lynette. I can imagine, and yet people are comparing WWII with the pandemic...I think that was why I got so annoyed with the kind of people who broke lockdown rules deliberately! In the grand scheme of things, staying at home was hardly a big sacrifice to make and it *is* worth it in the end if it means we’re making people safe. I heard quite a bit from my grandad over the years who was a child living in Manchester during the Christmas Bombings in WWII, it all honestly broke my heart to say the least. I can only imagine what he went through at the time, high morale was literally all that stood between us and the Third Reich. So I can only feel the utmost respect for this generation; from the working class right the way through to the monarchy itself. Everyone lived through it, and did their bit. ❤️
@@phoenixrose1192 exactly right... when the Queen and the two Princesses were offered the chance to evacuate to the relative safety of one of the other castles, the Queen was said to have made a comment along the lines of, "if our people can't be moved why should we"...it was all about morale and not being seen to be in a position of privilege. When Princess Elizabeth was planning her wedding gown, the people of UK sent her their own fabric ration coupon to make her gown, however, she gratefully received and returned as many as were possible, as not everyone who sent a coupon could be identified so those were donated to charities providing clothing to people whose homes had been destroyed in the bombings in previous years...Her Maj has always been quite selfless...as she said at a young age, "no matter how long my life, be it long or short, I shall dedicate it to the service of the people"...or something to that effect...
The drive at Balmoral is truly badass. I am certain she would have been advised that this could have been perceived as an insult, diplomatically. Did Her Majesty give a ****? No.
When she visited Saudi Arabia, she wore full length clothes so that her ankles were covered according to their custom, the least he could do in return was to allow a woman to drive him according to our custom.
@Aussie Pom Not having a driving license or passport only applied after she became queen, she would have needed them up to that point, the chances are she's never passed a proper driving test but that was typical of anyone who drove military vehicles during the war. The reason she can't be booked is that you can't have a case where The Crown Vs The Crown
My son worked in met can't say what dept here BUT He was on duty at one of the advanced driving courses for a certain regiment uses only 3 letters and dignitaries. The Queen already a pensioner left them standing in her dirt at the " kidnap" scenario apparently she thought they went easy on her tore the officers a new one telling them not to insult her and DO IT RIGHT.... She did it again in fact she " captured" one of the " kidnappers " and he was " taken into custody by her protection officers when they got in the action. Taken into custody by The Queen in this case meant tea at Buckingham Palace with The Queen
Man I have mad respect for this ma. Right here glad this American actually likes the queen and us mate I hate America and the people but this man he's earned my respect it takes along time to earn my respect and he's, got it 💪💪💪💪💪💪🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴Rule the nations

@@priscillaroberts7945 Same. That's what I've always been led to believe as well. Again, I've not tried it myself, only astride since the age of three!
She didn't even look up from the horse, just got control and kept on. No gunman makes Her Majesty disrupt a public event months in the planning. Nerves of fucking steel.
Haha ..When the guy was shooting at the queen, the commentator just said ' hello! just some little disturbance' such an English way to respond to a situation.... Keep calm and carry on.. old chum
I’ve also heard of the Queen out walking in Windsor I think and ended up being asked by an American tourist if she has ever met the queen to which she replied by pointing to her police man or guard and saying “No but I think he has” 😂
The whole Royal Family is trained in using Guns, swords and Prince William once insisted on being taught how to use a frying pan (Skillet for America’s).
@The Posh Blighty the only time I've heard of someone referring to a frying pan as a Skillet is if they're referring to a cast iron skillet otherwise we just refer to them as a frying pan. Cast iron skillets are good for self-defense at home. They are really sturdy and they're really easy to knock someone out with. If you use a cast iron skillet for home-defense make sure you have a length of rope to the hog tie the Intruder to the police get there in case they wake up before the police can make it on scene.
My favourite story was when she took the Saudi king for a white knuckle ride in a land rover during his official visit. He had not expected her to get behind the wheel.
@@LadyThunderbird63 reportadly sa time he was almost begging her to drive slower, after the tour her comment was, apparently, 'not bad for a woman driver, was it.'
When the Manchester couple invited the Queen to their Wedding, the Royal Palace replied saying that the Queen was busy that day and unfortunately unable to attend....the Queen and Prince Philip surprised the couple and did turn up. She's a class act 🇬🇧
8:05 - 'hello?..........some little disturbance there......' How very English lol, us Scots would have been like 'WHATTHEF**KWASTHAT?!!!' Well done that commentator, he didn't know it was blanks being shot, it could have been a JFK moment, and he still keeps composure.
Another great quote from Her Majesty was when she was walking around Balmoral she met some American Tourists, they asked her if she ever met the Queen, she answered “no” and pointed to her close protection officer and said “but he has”
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the drive with the Saudi king was her way of demonstrating how ridiculous it was to not allow women to drive, and that at the end she said something along the lines of “not bad for a woman, right?”
I think that #5 is THE most badass, dope, and cool thing Our Queen has probably ever done, as a Public Event. Obviously, women driving (or being in any position of authority - especially if they have men who have to answer to them) was a HUGE No-No is Saudi Arabia (things have become slightly more modern since 1992, but not by much). Apparently, the Crown Prince was totally shocked and mega-uncomfortable, but of course, he was unable to day ANYTHING about the situation (which was completely intentional, of course). He was literally speechless when he realised that, not only was the Queen - a woman - going to drive, but drive HIM around the estate. Not as a chauffeur, but far worse - she was deciding where to go, for how long, etc, meaning she was basically bossing HIM. It was unheard of for him. How badass is that. When I knew about this, quite a while ago now (but at the time, in ‘92, I was way too young to understand what wad happened) she went up ten-fold in my estimation!!!! That was on cool stunt to pull, for real!!!!!
The preparations and security detail that Queeny had when she visited my nearby city was mental. Every manhole, every electrical and telecom service covers had to have tamperproof tags put on them. Some of which are still there to this day. Which was inspected on a regular basis up to her visit and any tampered tags would have had the bomb squad called in. Then was road closers in a few mile radii when she was travelling around the area and this was also a no-go area for the general public.
When the young lad fires six shots at her Maj and the commentator remarks "Hello, there's some little disturbance" that right there, is the epitome of Britishness!
5:189:00 think about how often an american president was willing to send his children into war, or got actual combat/military experienced for himself. Not so tough now.
@@Stevelives13 Youre the type of person that likes to dig themselves in deeper, even though ignorant on a subject! A bit of a fool! Prince Harry served in Afghanistan, flying helicopters, he's been filmed doing so! The Queen learned to repair military vehicles, including stripping a truck engine & putting it back together again. Can YOU do that? Served in the military, flying helicopters?? No? You have no respect for others, that have done far more than YOU! Loser! 🇬🇧
As a child up to my 20s i lived in a village walking distance from Windsor, and each year next to the river Thames we had the royal fate. This was at that time always attended by HMTQ. Apparently the story goes that when I was there at about age 5 I rushed to the front of the crowd that was greeting the Queen, my mother stayed back as all the people we knew and they were making sure I got to the front, well I was obviously little, and the Queen did not see me, so apparently I yelled (oh forgive me) oi Queen several times until I was heard. My mother apparently had at this point mysteriously disappeared into the tea tent! HMTQ then bent to speak to me asking my name, which I answered, and then she said I’m told and where do you live? At which point, looking much cuter in my dress than my behaviour, I replied well in my house of course! I would like to add all future encounters which were many living where we did was done with much more decorum. Later i took up carriage driving, I rode horses and thought this might be fun to try, and the guy I drove with had a pass into the private area of the Windsor great park. We used drive the horses early on a Sunday morning and would most weeks see the then Queen mother going to chapel, and also often Zara and the other royals who were around at the time. We would always drive wearing a trilby hat so that of course would get properly tipped at whichever royal we saw. Although the queen was always the one to watch out for as she was a nutter behind the wheel of a car! Lol,
I like the time she met Martin McGuiness of the IRA/Sinn Fein in 2016. You have to remember that the IRA had killed The duke of Edinburgh's uncle Lord Mountbatten (and 3 other members of his family). Martin McGuiness said 'Are you well?' and she replied “I’m still alive anyway”. There's a clip of this on RUclips if you think that's not true.
How British is that lololol. The Queen gets 6 shots fired at her, stays cool, makes sure her horse is ok and the commentator says "there's a little disturbance in the crowd. Hilarious.
I went on holiday to Scotland once and we were driving near Balmoral, when a long line of Land Rovers drove towards us. We suddenly spotted the person driving the first car was a bit short and wearing a patterned headscarf and glasses, turns out it was the Queen driving the car!!
Typically British. The commentator saying, “ There's a little disturbance on the approach road", totally understated, again Typically British. 🇬🇧🏴 I remember the assassination attempt on our Queen, she held it together like a trooper mate, 6 shots fired, controlled the horse and carried on. GSTQ. 🇬🇧🏴
The "surprise photobomb" notice how they aimed the camera at the queen? in a selfie you centre yourself/group/point of interest, still nice the queen smiled for them. She knows those little things matter and mean so much to some people.
She also challenged the experts at the London School of Economics about the 2008 crisis asking them why no one saw it coming and they couldn't answer her. Great video, keep them coming.
Goodness, JT, the first time I have our dear Queen taken out of a cupboard and propped up in the corner. Let me tell you about her JT... she is one tough cookie I promise you, tough as they come! she looks old and sweet, but great heavens I heard her yell at an occasion at her minders to do something she wanted, and it was scary!! luvz ya
That time when the Queen drove the Saudi king, I think she was really bad ass. It was clearly a political statement saying she did not like that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.
I totally love your channel, I have told *all* my neighbours about you. How you make me laugh and smile, and wait with bated breath for my next *fix*. I even had a dream about you, (all together now) "awwwwww, how sweet! I fall asleep to your videos on repeat, quite simply, you make my day, thank you!
im from england,and i love ths channel,it made me understand so much about how americans know the uk, ps:when the Queen dies everyone gets 12 days off of school and work
There's a story that at an official dinner, the Queen took two breadsticks and laid them at the side of her plate. A visiting foreign dignitary followed her example. At the end of the meal she fed the breadsticks to her corgis, turned to the dignitary and asked, "And what are you going to do with yours?"
Yeah she's a right badass when it comes to the driving, she's got a fleet of hot rods and is often seen just cruising downtown Windsor banging out the tunes! National anthem with the bass turned right up! Totally fire!! 😂
Whilst the video says that the Queen is the first monarch to send an email, it's actually more than that. She was the first head of state in the world to send an email.
In 2000, the queen was caught on camera wringing the neck of a wounded pheasant. The Mirror dubbed her "The Killer Queen" and animal rights groups went nuts. As usual no comment was made but the next day she showed up at church wearing a hat decked out in pheasant feathers.
JT have you tried taking the air filter out of the mower and giving it a clean with a small brush? I did the one on my father in-law's and it worked. No cost involved either.
A great review with your best woman, Lizzie. What a woman. Was shot at and carried in as if nothing happened. Can handle guns. She's a great monarch,head if state. The photo bomb was brill. She's done woman.
During the early 90's, Prince Charles was standing on stage in Sydney, New South Wales(State of Australia) on stage when the sound of fire was heard which first had a slow response of "huh?" and Prince Charles standing with a bored looking face as he played with a cuff of his sleeve. The gun fire was actually a race starter's cap fire gun used by a protester in the crowd.
My family and I were at an airshow once and attack heli was doing a show and at the end did a bow to the crowd. As it flew off the announcer said we should all feel honoured as we'd been bowed to by a Prince. Harry was in the gunner's seat. 😁
I know this is all talking about the queen but had you heard of the kidnapping attempt on Princess Anne. She described to the news that she 'had a discussion with him on whether she was going with him' witnesses said they heard him go 'you're coming with me' and she said 'not bloody likely' and walked away.
@@TheKonkaman I beg to differ. "most" of the show is centred on private moments amongst the royals. Agreed the time frame is based upon certain defining moments, but any conversations shown on TV are fantasy owing to the fact that there are no verbatim recordings . It's a shame that a TV show is now perceived as a historical documentary by those who lack the intelligence to see it as otherwise.
Her most bad-ass moment isnt even listed! After ww1, on VE day, at aged 16, she convinced her father king george to let her go out and celebrate amongst the people in london!

The preparations and security detail that Queeny had when she visited my nearby city was mental. Every manhole, every electrical and telecom service covers had to have tamperproof tags put on them. Some of which are still there to this day. Which was inspected on a regular basis up to her visit and any tampered tags would have had the bomb squad called in. Then was road closers in a few mile radii when she was travelling around the area and this was also a no-go area for the general public.
I talk to a cardboard cutout of a Supernatural character, so you're perfectly sane to me.
I love your sincere appreciation and affection for our queen! 😍😘🥰
When the young lad fires six shots at her Maj and the commentator remarks "Hello, there's some little disturbance" that right there, is the epitome of Britishness!
I loved the Scots guard who dragged him over the railings by his hair, as the guard was that incensed
Can we get some sort of crowd fund going and bring our boy home? He needs to be with his family.
Awwwwwwwxx
5:18 9:00 think about how often an american president was willing to send his children into war, or got actual combat/military experienced for himself. Not so tough now.
You actually believe that the royals went to war? lol
@@Stevelives13 You actually don't know anything about the military record of the Windsor family?
@@madisntit6547 I don't care. You're obviously a sycophant.
@@greedycapitalist8590 You mean the Saxe Coburg Gothas? I know that they exempt themselves from actual combat.
@@Stevelives13 Youre the type of person that likes to dig themselves in deeper, even though ignorant on a subject! A bit of a fool! Prince Harry served in Afghanistan, flying helicopters, he's been filmed doing so! The Queen learned to repair military vehicles, including stripping a truck engine & putting it back together again. Can YOU do that? Served in the military, flying helicopters?? No? You have no respect for others, that have done far more than YOU! Loser! 🇬🇧
As a child up to my 20s i lived in a village walking distance from Windsor, and each year next to the river Thames we had the royal fate. This was at that time always attended by HMTQ. Apparently the story goes that when I was there at about age 5 I rushed to the front of the crowd that was greeting the Queen, my mother stayed back as all the people we knew and they were making sure I got to the front, well I was obviously little, and the Queen did not see me, so apparently I yelled (oh forgive me) oi Queen several times until I was heard. My mother apparently had at this point mysteriously disappeared into the tea tent! HMTQ then bent to speak to me asking my name, which I answered, and then she said I’m told and where do you live? At which point, looking much cuter in my dress than my behaviour, I replied well in my house of course! I would like to add all future encounters which were many living where we did was done with much more decorum.
Later i took up carriage driving, I rode horses and thought this might be fun to try, and the guy I drove with had a pass into the private area of the Windsor great park. We used drive the horses early on a Sunday morning and would most weeks see the then Queen mother going to chapel, and also often Zara and the other royals who were around at the time. We would always drive wearing a trilby hat so that of course would get properly tipped at whichever royal we saw. Although the queen was always the one to watch out for as she was a nutter behind the wheel of a car! Lol,
She is definitely a Badass Queen - As are your reactions, JT.
Thank you American mojo for pronouncing Edinburgh properly.
I like the time she met Martin McGuiness of the IRA/Sinn Fein in 2016. You have to remember that the IRA had killed The duke of Edinburgh's uncle Lord Mountbatten (and 3 other members of his family). Martin McGuiness said 'Are you well?' and she replied “I’m still alive anyway”. There's a clip of this on RUclips if you think that's not true.
I'm not a full on monarchist, but this woman deserves a lot of credit. Love her, she is badass.
Love your channel, it cheers me up even when I feel down x
How British is that lololol. The Queen gets 6 shots fired at her, stays cool, makes sure her horse is ok and the commentator says "there's a little disturbance in the crowd. Hilarious.
I went on holiday to Scotland once and we were driving near Balmoral, when a long line of Land Rovers drove towards us. We suddenly spotted the person driving the first car was a bit short and wearing a patterned headscarf and glasses, turns out it was the Queen driving the car!!
Did you notice that the Queen was riding side saddle ?❤️🇬🇧
Typically British.
The commentator saying, “ There's a little disturbance on the approach road", totally understated, again Typically British. 🇬🇧🏴
I remember the assassination attempt on our Queen, she held it together like a trooper mate, 6 shots fired, controlled the horse and carried on.
GSTQ. 🇬🇧🏴
The "surprise photobomb" notice how they aimed the camera at the queen? in a selfie you centre yourself/group/point of interest, still nice the queen smiled for them. She knows those little things matter and mean so much to some people.
She also challenged the experts at the London School of Economics about the 2008 crisis asking them why no one saw it coming and they couldn't answer her.
Great video, keep them coming.
Goodness, JT, the first time I have our dear Queen taken out of a cupboard and propped up in the corner. Let me tell you about her JT... she is one tough cookie I promise you, tough as they come! she looks old and sweet, but great heavens I heard her yell at an occasion at her minders to do something she wanted, and it was scary!! luvz ya
Note, not only did she calm her horse after shots were fired, she was riding side-saddle.
I love how the Queen comforts her horse first 🇬🇧🇬🇧💕💕
That time when the Queen drove the Saudi king, I think she was really bad ass. It was clearly a political statement saying she did not like that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.
I totally love your channel, I have told *all* my neighbours about you.
How you make me laugh and smile, and wait with bated breath for my next *fix*.
I even had a dream about you, (all together now) "awwwwww, how sweet!
I fall asleep to your videos on repeat, quite simply, you make my day, thank you!
Thank you so much for the support 💜💛
Always love your videos, always put a smile on my face, keep smiling JT
another fantastic video . pointing at the queen in her presents would get you a night in the tower, you would proberly like it doing your blog.
im from england,and i love ths channel,it made me understand so much about how americans know the uk,
ps:when the Queen dies everyone gets 12 days off of school and work
@Nicky L yes evveroyne gets 12 days of of school and work when the queen dies, look it up
@@mollyyates7209 We will have 12 days of mourning but not actually 12 days off, and more than likely her funeral will be held on a Saturday.
@@alisonsmith4801 oh ok
There's a story that at an official dinner, the Queen took two breadsticks and laid them at the side of her plate. A visiting foreign dignitary followed her example. At the end of the meal she fed the breadsticks to her corgis, turned to the dignitary and asked, "And what are you going to do with yours?"
nah ah, Lizzie making Obama look like an embarrassed school boy with a look, when he messed up the protocol. perfect
Yeah she's a right badass when it comes to the driving, she's got a fleet of hot rods and is often seen just cruising downtown Windsor banging out the tunes! National anthem with the bass turned right up! Totally fire!! 😂
Whilst the video says that the Queen is the first monarch to send an email, it's actually more than that. She was the first head of state in the world to send an email.
In 2000, the queen was caught on camera wringing the neck of a wounded pheasant.
The Mirror dubbed her "The Killer Queen" and animal rights groups went nuts. As usual no comment was made but the next day she showed up at church wearing a hat decked out in pheasant feathers.
Your reaction videos bring light and happiness to my day!
Lizzie tells me she'll swing by to fix your lawnmower in the morning
Thank the lord🙌 🤣
Watching you fall more in love with Lizzie is the sweetest! 🥰😂😂
See about when princess anne was held at gunpoint and told to go with the kidnappers and she refused with "Not bloody likely!"
LOVE all your reactions.
One of your best, I laughed SO much.
I remember meeting her back in 1990, and I also chatted with Prince Philip, but thats another story ;)
asking the queen to fix your lawnmower, that's great
JT have you tried taking the air filter out of the mower and giving it a clean with a small brush? I did the one on my father in-law's and it worked. No cost involved either.
It's unlikely to be the air filter. It's either a fuel issue or the carburettor jets are blocked.
A great review with your best woman, Lizzie. What a woman. Was shot at and carried in as if nothing happened. Can handle guns. She's a great monarch,head if state. The photo bomb was brill. She's done woman.
During the early 90's, Prince Charles was standing on stage in Sydney, New South Wales(State of Australia) on stage when the sound of fire was heard which first had a slow response of "huh?" and Prince Charles standing with a bored looking face as he played with a cuff of his sleeve. The gun fire was actually a race starter's cap fire gun used by a protester in the crowd.
You defo deserve more subs, great reaction as usual!
I’ll watch this video after I finish work , love these vids buddy 👌🏻
"Badass"
"Sent an email"
You should react to the whole opening ceremony of the 2012 olympics!!!!
My family and I were at an airshow once and attack heli was doing a show and at the end did a bow to the crowd. As it flew off the announcer said we should all feel honoured as we'd been bowed to by a Prince. Harry was in the gunner's seat. 😁
Love the video JT sending love from Staffordshire 🇬🇧
J.T and the Queen would boss it out! Can't wait until you visit us J.T! Great video as always!
I know this is all talking about the queen but had you heard of the kidnapping attempt on Princess Anne. She described to the news that she 'had a discussion with him on whether she was going with him' witnesses said they heard him go 'you're coming with me' and she said 'not bloody likely' and walked away.
The original video uses clips from "The Crown". That was fantasy, not documentary. Don't be fooled JT !
its about 80% based in facts
@@TheKonkaman and you know that how?
@@steveluckhurst2350 most of what is in the show is well know facts about the royals
@@TheKonkaman I beg to differ. "most" of the show is centred on private moments amongst the royals. Agreed the time frame is based upon certain defining moments, but any conversations shown on TV are fantasy owing to the fact that there are no verbatim recordings . It's a shame that a TV show is now perceived as a historical documentary by those who lack the intelligence to see it as otherwise.
When Sergeant fired the blanks at HM there was a Scots Guardsman near him who managed to immobilise him until arrested.
your sock bottoms are dirty because your floors need cleaning
A "badass" lady from a "badass" nation .God bless her Majesty. Next year 2022 will be the 70th year of her reign and we will have some party.
Well done fella. You are more patriotic to England than a lot of British people are.
Her most bad-ass moment isnt even listed!
After ww1, on VE day, at aged 16, she convinced her father king george to let her go out and celebrate amongst the people in london!
