He’s a lot like England’s beloved Sir Winston Churchill. But, why is that lady interviewing him dressed so dowdy, like an old scullery maid from an old English Eatery?
How I wish that people nowadays were more like this man - kindly, tolerant, authentic, polite and discreet. These days, people are just spiteful, confrontational, and malicious - just for the sake of carping and complaining - a bit like his disappointing son, Prince Harry. SO sick of hearing people complain about the ceremony - it's an old ceremony, a thousand or more years old - just like weddings etc. It is what it is - and thank goodness we have these traditions - which no one else has.
I’m just very grateful to have the perspective of age. I was a 6 year old when Queen Elizabeth was crowned, and although American born, my beautiful English mother instilled in me love and respect for those ancient traditions. To say times have changed would be an understatement. Nobility of character is fading in this new world, but I hold out hope. God save the King!
So glad the crowds were enormous. I think they are wonderful representatives of the monarchy, I’d rather have a good king before any self serving politician. Good interview.
And I made Coronation Chicken for us to enjoy for the first time! My daughter's boyfriend had some yesterday in school (she brought him some for lunch, knowing he might like it!), and told me how delicious it was! Long live the King!
Loved listening to this proper english gentleman, Lord Soames, speak on the intimate, spiritual and national significance of the coronation & his old dear friends Charles and Camilla. Lovely to hear.
This generation will be sorely missed when they are gone. Well spoken and the ability to have a conversation without talking over people, babbling, or umm-ing and ahh-ing. He also LISTENS too, and gives considered replies. So many times now people do not actively LISTEN in a conversation, they are simply waiting for their turn to speak. I'm so sick of being talked AT by people, instead of having an actual conversation with them.
I learned so much about his iconic grandfather Sir Winston Churchill, the Queen, King Charles, past & present. I was in grade school when WC passed and his state funeral was on our black and white tv, my parents watching in solemn awe telling me "he was a very great man who saved England in the war. "🇺🇲❤❤❤
Nicholas Soames is the best sort of friend to the King.The sort of friend any of us would be lucky to have.I am touched by his observation that the King will be crowned in the same place as William the Conqueror over a thousand years ago.
@@xhogun8578 Not so. He acknowledged the shoeing he was getting and walked away. Never take on an actor in a verbal joust you hapless Tory see you enn tee.
@@xhogun8578 😂 As a friend of The King, and grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, he is an interesting guest. Nevertheless, perhaps he is a bore. 😂 But, what an interesting note. 🎉
I remember reading (several times) that Queen Elizabeth publicly acknowledged how much & how often Mr Churchill helped her & guided her in her very early days as Queen. 💖
At Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation, people were still on rations! The Coronation gave them hope! Why should these times be any different! Progress does no always mean you lose respect for important matters!
Because of that times were different, the royal family was loved monarchy was still revered after God it was a time of hope and that Coronation was a real one with all the opulence beauty and magic and God was still the star of that ceremony she was a real believer unlike him who is a freemason like Islam as nd is no longer a real Christian king and in these times this opulence is obscene with the hight cost of living people , almost dying of cold because they can't afford to use their heaters aagh dunces
@@ileanaacacostaacosta1813 And I’m sure you are fine with politicians squandering billions of pounds of taxpayer money every year. The millions of people that celebrated the Queen’s Coronation, had come out of 6 years of a devastating war, still on rations, very little in the way of food, money, heating, and cities still being rebuilt, after the terrible bombing raids. So what is your point? That people are hurting today? Tomorrow? The next day? They were hurting just as much when the Queen was Crowned. Blame the politicians, for they are the holders of the purse strings, not the King.
@@ileanaacacostaacosta1813 there are many reasons you may prefer not to have the King or Monarchy but money isn’t really one of them. The Royal family brings more money to the UK than they cost the UK. Events such as Royal Jubilee’s, Coronation’s, Weddings etc are especially cost effective always bring in more money to the UK than they cost.
@@ileanaacacostaacosta1813 You have my deepest sympathy for your lack of awareness of the importance of religion, My father was a Mason raised in a strict Methodist church. After retirement he read the Bible through 13 times. Thankful Mother brought him to the Anglican Church . Before spouting off you need to get your facts straight. King Charles is a deeply religious man.
❤He speaks so nice of friendship and so truthfully !A loyal nice wonderful friend to have in someones life King Charles must be a nice man too maintain that kind of friendship. And lucky to have it.A real blessing in anybodys life.
Yes, and it's a pity his grandson is nothing like him. Winston Churchill would never have sold out his country to the EU, nor would he have supported an illegal invasion. He must be spinnng in his grave.
Thanks for this excellent interview. Lord Soames very much reminds of his Grandfather, Winston Churchill. His manner of speaking is so reminiscent. How fortunate is King Charles to have this lifelong loyal friend. We have by now witnessed the Coronation, moved beyond words as were so many millions at home and around the world. God Save the King
That was such a lovely interview. Lord Soames is a traditional gentleman, I hope we still see men like this in the future, sadly I fear they will be few and far between.
Such a great interviewer. I’m impressed at how much time she allows the interviewee to answer her questions. Some of these questions were tricky and she asked them carefully
@@stephenellis2866 What - make you tactful and sensitive? Or make you a lefty? First I've heard of either of those symptoms of menopause, but I'm sure you know best.
Wonderful interview. I so admire Soames for his delineation, and admiration, of the tradition which the Coronation will express. Our world needs touchstones, and the British Monarchy is one, a good one. Clear membership in a tradition, in a culture, in a system of government that simply tries to do its best, is a gift and an example to the whole world. Maybe Parliament is in a fog, but the British Royal Family is not. Best of luck to Charles from an American who loves Great Britain from afar, every day.
Very poignant and acute observation. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Every system has its problems and imperfections, but I can't think of another where the enduring principle throughout a lifetime is to do right by others on their behalf. And it was correct for Charles to have pointed out that the barracks in Hong Kong were not good enough for our serving soldiers. If he cannot defend them, who can?
Wonderful stuff! A thousand years…proves that the people from all,backgrounds love the monarchy and in a time of trouble they are a beacon of light. Take that away and the Brits have nothing but a bunch of politicians arguing over who is going to be the boss when not one can do the job.
I do like this gentleman. He definitely has the look of Winston about him. Before I even started school, and I am 80 now, my mother taught me the speech of We will fight them on the beaches. I had a good memory and at 13 our English teacher read it out one day and asked if anyone knew who had written it. I was the only one out of 32 girls who knew. I later became an historian and a writer. Now I watch my iPad and enjoy everything I can find in films of Winston. I know it’s not accurate but it is highly entertaining which is what I need now. I am 5 years older than the king. and remember when he was born. Our art teacher took our class us to the theatre to watch the film on the Coronation. It was very beautiful but very long ❤ from NZ
Born in the oldest Canadian City, Saint John, New Brunswick of maternal loyalist ancestors we studied British and European intently. Been dedicated to the Crown all my life. Father and uncles fought for Britain. Was 14 at the time of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation. It was adeptly exciting time.
I also am 80 and we were living in South Africa when the Queen was crowned. Our school was taken to the cinema (a very grand place in those days) to see the Coronation film when it came out. It was wonderful and unforgettable.
Magnificent interview. It restores the soul to listen to Lord Soames, as I am frankly tired and disgusted with the constant racist slams against Western Civilization. The interview I believe reflects the honor and respect to the Monarchy, as is its due. The interviewer is outstanding; not some sanctimonious illiterate trying to spin the interview for political ends. Thank you.
Agree entirely. So sorry about reports of my homeland Canada and Australia not supporting the Crown. In Canada there has always been the Quebec element plus all the recent newcomers who care nothing of heritage. Lord Soames represents in every way what society once was. Sadly today there is little respect for institutions or one another. The Coronation was so deeply moving, food for the soul. Immediately there was screaming "no black on the balcony". Never mind how evident with all races and religions represented so well. Not only was there participation in the ceremony but so many invited guests. King Charles embraces all. God Dave the King.
@@ellensheilaapkarian1420 If the monarchy goes,the country will change forever and the people with it.They will rue the day if it ever happensI sincerely hope it doesn’t.
I am positive that billions of people around the world will be watching the Coronation. I certainly will. God bless the King Charles and the Royal Family.
Excellent Interview. I am very impressed by both the interviewer and Lord Soames. She did a wonderful job, many could learn from her professional, calming delivery.
@@SarahlabyrinthLHC British people rejected him and his party after the war. THANK GOD FOR THAT.OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE NO NHS Or slum clearance and decent homes for ordinary people
True and as a true friend, like any of us, he would not pry but be there with listening ear if needed. But no-one asks their friends whats going on, they just stand by them and support them.
@@ellensheilaapkarian1420 did it really? My parents lived through WWll and were both in the forces. They despised Churchill. In fact my mother, who grew up in Stepney and as a child overheard the chat of her mother's friends, many of whom worked 'below stairs' in the palaces and large houses, grew up to consider the upper classes to be, on the whole, unworthy of respect. Phrases such as " they have the morals of rabbits" meant little to her at 13 but were understood later.
I am so pleased to have found this interview. An incredibly gracious interviewer who never interupted or spoke over Lord Soames. An insightful look at a friendship that has spanned over 60 years and knows its boundaries. I find it extremely comforting to know that HMKC has at least one friend such as this who understands what it means to be a true friend.
What a fascinating man Lord Soames is. Thank you for your amazing insights on your Grandfather Sir Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II. It has always been said that Sir Winston Churchill was the Queens favourite Prime Minister. I’m sure it’s true. He would have been like a father figure to her after the loss of her beloved father at such a young age. What a rich history Lord Soames has.
@@sandyhossman7771 yes he certainly was, a very strong leader, we need more strong political leaders like him nowadays. Someone who can sort the wheat from the chaff.
@@sandyhossman7771 I am American as well and my 35 year old son has Churchills most famous quote tattooed on his chest. He obviously greatly admires him. His great uncle died training to be a pilot in WWII, and his paternal grandfather went up the beach on D-Day, only survivor of his unit, the memory of that war & it's heros lives in my family front and center even today. I
This interview with Lord Soames is very eloquent and educational. It is not rushed and I hope many people will take the time to watch it. The fact that he is a friend of King Charles is helpful as he knows how much the King cares about many important issues such as the Environment, The Prince's Trust and the conditions for the Military among many. It was a very informative and articulate presentation. I agree with how upsetting it must have been for Prince Harry to cause stress and hurt to his father. I hope Prince Harry apologizes.
Please you guys are blind, haveing a king that betray his previous wife, did not care about his sons or their impact of his inmoral actions that as man should be responsible first and foremost and how "queen" Camila now is perfect, please , King Charles should apologize to Harry to have dismembered his family, mental health is caused by the parents, and Harris behavior is only the results of this disappointing royal family, shame !
At KC's coronation today the majority of them looked away when Hazbeen looked at them and some pretended they didn't see him. Absolutely brilliant and hope he finally got the message that he's not respected. The coronation was incredible, classy and regal
I noticed that unlike at the Jubilee , where all turned and glared , people looked down , ahead or to each other . He received a very well deserved cut direct . Harry is done . Goodbye !
Charming upper class gentleman. The world would be a better place if there were more like him, not just among the British upper class but in wider society, all classes, all races.
There are always going to be 'classes' within the human race (btw there is only one race), despite communistic carping (where has it ever worked?) whether binding together with likeminded intellect, knowledge, locality, interests or whatever else - the issue is how we interact with each other on a kindness, generous, love your neighbour level.
Simon Payne - You have managed, quite impressively, to make a remark that is devoid of value, clarity, or any significant meaning. It is utterly nebulous yet painfully nauseating. Have you considered writing for the Daily Mail?
As stated he presents as a positive brilliant man. We live in a time when interviews seek out the worst in people, not my cup of tea! I look for for good and goodness in humans that is what uplift my life. I invite people to start demanding a better world which might start with caring for each other! Opening eyes to kindness.
What a lovely, upbuilding interview! I enjoyed hearing the views of two respectful, and thoughtful individuals, who clearly knew what they were talking about!
A 75 year old man is often more like a 50 year old man of 2 decades ago.KC has health & longevity in his family. His parents lived well into their 90's and his grandmother lived to be over 100. We have every reason to expect KC to have a long, fruitful reign.
I think he will manage that. He needs to stop pleasing people and stop with this slimmed down monarchy. He is not young and should include the York sisters in the mix to take on the work
And evidently you and other don’t get how much revenue comes to the country because of having them. 100 million is a huge layout yes but the expected 8 billion in revenue back into the country isn’t a bad return. Then you have people moaning about the designer dresses etc Bruce Oldfield jesse collett Alexander McQueen all British designers and don’t forget the hundreds of U.K. small businesses farmer florists and food producers. Oh and just in case you didn’t know the whole royal family costs you and I under the price of one cup of coffee a year in 2021-2022 it was £1.29, and they are patrons to around 3000 charity’s large and small local and international in the case of princess royal. We would lose more than we gain for not having them. You think not having then will equalise us it would be fairer life would be better we’ll think again there would still be the have and the have nots and the rich and the poor those that think they are better than us because that the nature of humans sadly. Personally I think my one coffee worth was well spent because at the end of the day for better or worse it promoted my country and was an amazing piece of living history and that brings in the tourists and business opportunities and that’s fine by me. Not bad either that he was an eco warrior before it was fashionable time has proved him right.
@dem08 No, we get it. We just don't agree. Is it populism you want? Don't forget in the republic of the US, populism gave us Trump--the guy with the golden toilet.
Apart from private homes/apartments, much is public access. Prince Philip made a lot more of the properties no longer run at a loss. If the family did step down, their private money would be theirs, just like any other billionaire. You would have a much better case to attack those like the Duke of Westminsters, who set up their huge estates to be a trust, to have the use of everything, but not own it, and to pay little in death duties or income tax. There should be a law that trusts must pay a MINIMUM of 3% of the total value of the trust, whether or not the trust makes a profit. So there is no way they can be multi millionaires/billionaires and not pay any tax. Same for big companies. No matter what they do to officially run at a loss, they still pay 3% of their official holdings. That would fix the NHS woes with a handful of billionaires. And as for the Brit billionaires who live in tax exile countries, they pay 10% a year on everything held in UK. Taken out before they can remove profits overseas. If all countries do that, the world would be in a far better state. There would be nowhere to hide.
Not only did the Queen attend the funeral , she had ordered it to be a " state funeral". Normally, only the monarch gets a state funeral. This was a great honor to a great man. The other non-monarch to get a state funeral was the Duke of Wellington in 1852. Prince Philip did not have a state funeral and wouldnt have wanted the fuss anyway.
Especially if you belong to the working class and your 10 years old children as yourself work underground and go to bed hungry and miserable. Wonderful your love and loyality to your goodlike class. Thank you for your support of Brexit and abolish Great Britain as civilized country. If I believed in devils I had found them.
PM Churchill was a leader that the world needed, he saved the UK and the world. I just read about Dunkirk, without him, so many British soldiers would have died. What a remarkable gentleman.
i agree it is a wonderful interview...how lucky for the king to have such a friend...and to get a glimpse of a the churchill dynasty is quite frankly amazing...wonderfully amazing...tino pai! all the way from aotearoa(nz) to paraphrase taika waititi "the colonies" i shall be staying up and watching
I watched the Coronation in its entirety from a foreign country, and must confess that, for all the majestic pomp and splendour, for which the British are renown, it was the choice of music that supremely impressed me. Knowing from this interview, that these were the personal choices of The King himself, speaks volumes about the innate character of the man. I pray God to Bless The King, The Queen, their families, the nation, and the Commonwealth. GOD SAVE THE KING PS. Imagine that we all could be and have friends the likes of Lord Nicholas Soames...
The music was spectacular! I have viewed the Coronation 3 times.Thankfully, here in US the BBC coverage was available on PBS. It can also be accessed on RUclips either the full 7 hours or shorter versions. Only the BBC can cover Royal events properly. The American coverage is awful. They should just stay home.
Although, Handel's "Zadok the Priest" is quite locked into the music of coronations, having been performed at every one since George II's Coronation in 1727. Charles could have dropped it, but the blowback would have been enormous.
@@ellensheilaapkarian1420 - I agree. The BBC did a glorious job covering it. I’m an American of an English mother. I watched the Coronation starting at 5am here in the USA. When the USA station addressed Charles as HRH King Charles I was annoyed……he’s NOT HRH…..he’s His Majesty …….if you’re going to be a Royal commentator…..do your homework. God Save the King….🇺🇸🇬🇧💕
Think about the millions and trillions of British people living in poverty, these people going to food banks and starving, whilst the monarchy spends millions for Charles's crowning..... shame on them.
@@peregrine7303 the monarchy bring more to the country than they cost, just a couple months ago The King donates 1 billion pounds to the public rather than been used for the monarchy. Rationally, a good apolitical figure head that brings more money is a lot better than corrupted politicians.
Charles broke Diana's heart, carrying on an affair before, during and after his marriage to Diana. The royals are emotionally dysfunctional , damaged, as are so many are in the English aristocracy and establishmant in general. The bizarre practice of sending their children away to boarding schools to be traumatised is disgusting. The damage done filters through society when you get people in high office due to who they know or what school they went to instead of whether they have an ounce of intelligence or talent.
Watching and listening to him gives me goosebumps...in a good way of course. It is like the shadow of Winston just beyond the veil. What a lovely man, I love how he speaks and his polite, regal manner
Excellent. Churchill’s grandson is a straightforward, honest person; his replies to the interviewer were what any ordinary citizen would hope for and expect. Thank you for sharing this.
King Charles knows more about the life and understands the difficulties of the general public of this Country than all our Politicians put together. Long live Prince Charles ❤️❤️
Unfortunately KC3 is a supporter of the evil WEF. Their video from shows the King supporting ‘the great reset of the 4th Industrial Revolution’ and at the end of the video ‘ you will own nothing and be happy’.
I agree I have heard no carping , the Brits love their traditions , nothing like it in any other nation on earth , Beautiful and apart from the mundane in life … great interview ❤ well spoken from the heart Lord Soames , thank you .
Too much publicity for Prince Harry. Not the only family on the face of the earth with difficulty from a sibling. The publicity seems to be dieing down--- just let it fade away.
@@Winterg-sd1rt Well not need, but advertising ! As the old saying goes, no such thing as bad advertising. If its controversial then its in the public mind and topical ! But as time goes on that little friction will disipate!
@@Winterg-sd1rtThat is not true as I clicked on because of the Churchill connection , and not Harry . History and the background of tradition is fascinating. 😊😊
What’s happened between Harry and his family is something many of the English public can relate to personally. For King Charles III to have been deeply affected by his son in such a public manner can only instill a stronger bond within the realm.
I've only watched a few minutes of this but NS is absolutely lovely. I'm a "blubberer" too; my goodness, when the heralds came out on the final Jubilee day last June and our beloved late Queen appeared in her green magnificence, there was such an emotion in my heart. It was her goodbye to us and most of us watching on TV - or there in the crowd, or on the balcony - were aware of that. The concerned look the then Duchess of Cornwall gave to her husband said it all. It was a hugely emotional moment in the nation's history. You could almost feel the ground shake. So Soames, who was so young at his grandfather's funeral - and which Prince Charles also attended in 1965 - has perhaps a deeper insight into it all; and an emotional connection to the mystical and historical connection than anyone outside of the immediate RF.
@@BlackStump172, but all proposed laws require the monarch's assent before in order to become law. That would include the abolition of the monarchy. Why would the King assent to his own abolition?
I am Irish, never even heard of Soames,but what a speaker,I could never tire of listening to his words of wisdom,and Our King Charles is so lucky yo have a friend like him and vice versa if you know what I mean
Prince Harry has behaved in an immature and petulant manner. Shame on him. This is a good example of an overindulged child/adult is allowed to associate with then marry a woman who is socially inferior. Megan Markle has that black, street fighter, “get what’s mine” mentality. The higher the social status of her perceived “enemy” the greater the thrill of damaging them. Harry may have had emotional issues with his family but Megan fired up his level of resentment and anger for sure. She is not a nice person and she doesn’t have her family’s best interests at heart.
You forget what Charles did to Harry's mother. Having the morals of a tomcat is no recommendation for a monarch and is symptomatic of the general breakdown of social norms in this country. In the past his ancestors depraved behaviour would have merely been rumour, something whispered about in dark corners or laughed about in the pub. Now information spreads so quickly, the royal family can no longer get away with it.
@@buttyboy100 Diana presented herself as one thing before the wedding, then revealed herself to be something else afterwards. She was the first to stray from that marriage and was the third woman in more marriages than those who knew her cared to count. This is a matter of public record and it was the reason The late Queen ordered they divorce. I suggest you read The Real Diana by Lady Colin Campbell and stop spreading these fictions. Recollections do vary.
Lord Soames was my MP for a number of years. I met him a few times and he was always very kind and a great man. Sorely missed.

How fortunate is King Charles to have this lifelong loyal friend. We have by now witnessed the Coronation, moved beyond words as were so many millions at home and around the world. God Save the King
Even the Royals are not immune to having these problems. Is very sad, painful for Charles, William, amd the entire family.
That was such a lovely interview. Lord Soames is a traditional gentleman, I hope we still see men like this in the future, sadly I fear they will be few and far between.
Such a great interviewer. I’m impressed at how much time she allows the interviewee to answer her questions. Some of these questions were tricky and she asked them carefully

Wonderful interview. I so admire Soames for his delineation, and admiration, of the tradition which the Coronation will express. Our world needs touchstones, and the British Monarchy is one, a good one. Clear membership in a tradition, in a culture, in a system of government that simply tries to do its best, is a gift and an example to the whole world. Maybe Parliament is in a fog, but the British Royal Family is not. Best of luck to Charles from an American who loves Great Britain from afar, every day.
👏👏👏🇺🇸🇬🇧🤴👸
Thank you.
Charlie will be right. Been in training for a long time, and has a workable partner now who will be an asset to the family business !
Very poignant and acute observation. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Every system has its problems and imperfections, but I can't think of another where the enduring principle throughout a lifetime is to do right by others on their behalf. And it was correct for Charles to have pointed out that the barracks in Hong Kong were not good enough for our serving soldiers. If he cannot defend them, who can?
Agreed and as Canadian I am proud of the monarchy and the road it is choosing to travel.
The apple doesn't fall from the tree , great man, he does a lot for this country. I have so much respect for him
Wonderful stuff! A thousand years…proves that the people from all,backgrounds love the monarchy and in a time of trouble they are a beacon of light. Take that away and the Brits have nothing but a bunch of politicians arguing over who is going to be the boss when not one can do the job.
And how many times have Prime Ministers charged in recent months?
Not exactly continuity.
What a civilised conversation, with concluding remarks on loyalty towards one's friends - whether it is to a king or a commoner.
I do like this gentleman. He definitely has the look of Winston about him. Before I even started school, and I am 80 now, my mother taught me the speech of We will fight them on the beaches. I had a good memory and at 13 our English teacher read it out one day and asked if anyone knew who had written it. I was the only one out of 32 girls who knew. I later became an historian and a writer. Now I watch my iPad and enjoy everything I can find in films of Winston. I know it’s not accurate but it is highly entertaining which is what I need now. I am 5 years older than the king. and remember when he was born. Our art teacher took our class us to the theatre to watch the film on the Coronation. It was very beautiful but very long ❤ from NZ
Born in the oldest Canadian City, Saint John, New Brunswick of maternal loyalist ancestors we studied British and European intently. Been dedicated to the Crown all my life. Father and uncles fought for Britain. Was 14 at the time of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation. It was adeptly exciting time.
Agree
I also am 80 and we were living in South Africa when the Queen was crowned. Our school was taken to the cinema (a very grand place in those days) to see the Coronation film when it came out. It was wonderful and unforgettable.
What thoroughly delightful replies here.
I’m a mere 61 years old, but I’m sure that the monarchy still has a place even in the dominions.
Hello from Wellington, NZ. I enjoyed reading your recollections. Thanks for sharing
What a fascinating interview and what a charming and knowledgeable man ! 🇬🇧
Magnificent interview. It restores the soul to listen to Lord Soames, as I am frankly tired and disgusted with the constant racist slams against Western Civilization. The interview I believe reflects the honor and respect to the Monarchy, as is its due. The interviewer is outstanding; not some sanctimonious illiterate trying to spin the interview for political ends. Thank you.
Agree entirely. So sorry about reports of my homeland Canada and Australia not supporting the Crown. In Canada there has always been the Quebec element plus all the recent newcomers who care nothing of heritage. Lord Soames represents in every way what society once was. Sadly today there is little respect for institutions or one another. The Coronation was so deeply moving, food for the soul. Immediately there was screaming "no black on the balcony". Never mind how evident with all races and religions represented so well. Not only was there participation in the ceremony but so many invited guests.
King Charles embraces all. God Dave the King.

@@lenwilkinson672Spot-on!
Winston Churchill was 78 at the Queen's Coronation in 1953.
I am positive that billions of people around the world will be watching the Coronation. I certainly will. God bless the King Charles and the Royal Family.
I love Lord Soames. England certainly desperately needs another leader the caliber of your grandfather
Excellent Interview. I am very impressed by both the interviewer and Lord Soames. She did a wonderful job, many could learn from her professional, calming delivery.
Some people just have the ability to speak in just a way that can draw one in, I could listen to them all day! Mr. Soames is quite that way for me.
Wow this is an amazing interview providing fabulous insight into King Charles III. Thank you so much!
I admire PM Churchill and all he did for his country. Brilliant man.
His grandson is just like him, in both looks and personality.
Shame about his massacre of innocent people in their own countries!
HE WAS RACIST AND RESPONSIBLEFOR Bengal famine We shall remember his derogatory remarks about the culture of the subcontinent and Mahatma Gandhi
What a brilliant man he was - I am proud to be related to him.
@@SarahlabyrinthLHC British people rejected him and his party after the war. THANK GOD FOR THAT.OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE NO NHS Or slum clearance and decent homes for ordinary people
What a wonderful interview. No bickering, no shouting, no rudeness, just a civilised conversation between two well-mannered people. Thank you.
Mr. Soames won't go prying into someone else's private life because he is a gentleman
True and as a true friend, like any of us, he would not pry but be there with listening ear if needed. But no-one asks their friends whats going on, they just stand by them and support them.
Diana did nor agree and she was a Lady.
He made very disparaging remarks about Diana while she and Charles were separating.
Marvellous. I remember the passing of Churchill my mother cried because she lived through the second world War and she loved him.
The free world sobbed.
as do I, and as did my mother, who very rarely cried.
i'm a churchill fan!
Me too! Inspiring war president
@@ellensheilaapkarian1420 did it really? My parents lived through WWll and were both in the forces. They despised Churchill. In fact my mother, who grew up in Stepney and as a child overheard the chat of her mother's friends, many of whom worked 'below stairs' in the palaces and large houses, grew up to consider the upper classes to be, on the whole, unworthy of respect. Phrases such as " they have the morals of rabbits" meant little to her at 13 but were understood later.
I am so pleased to have found this interview.
An incredibly gracious interviewer who never interupted or spoke over Lord Soames.
An insightful look at a friendship that has spanned over 60 years and knows its boundaries.
I find it extremely comforting to know that HMKC has at least one friend such as this who understands what it means to be a true friend.
What a fascinating man Lord Soames is. Thank you for your amazing insights on your Grandfather Sir Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II. It has always been said that Sir Winston Churchill was the Queens favourite Prime Minister. I’m sure it’s true. He would have been like a father figure to her after the loss of her beloved father at such a young age. What a rich history Lord Soames has.
Well said, I am American and I admire Winston Churchill. He was what the UK and the world needed while he was PM.
@@sandyhossman7771 yes he certainly was, a very strong leader, we need more strong political leaders like him nowadays. Someone who can sort the wheat from the chaff.
@@atonement7232 I think Winston Churchill was a state man wheras now there are only political leaders.
@@sandyhossman7771 I am American as well and my 35 year old son has Churchills most famous quote tattooed on his chest. He obviously greatly admires him. His great uncle died training to be a pilot in WWII, and his paternal grandfather went up the beach on D-Day, only survivor of his unit, the memory of that war & it's heros lives in my family front and center even today.

This interview with Lord Soames is very eloquent and educational. It is not rushed and I hope many people will take the time to watch it. The fact that he is a friend of King Charles is helpful as he knows how much the King cares about many important issues such as the Environment, The Prince's Trust and the conditions for the Military among many. It was a very informative and articulate presentation. I agree with how upsetting it must have been for Prince Harry to cause stress and hurt to his father. I hope Prince Harry apologizes.
Please you guys are blind, haveing a king that betray his previous wife, did not care about his sons or their impact of his inmoral actions that as man should be responsible first and foremost and how "queen" Camila now is perfect, please , King Charles should apologize to Harry to have dismembered his family, mental health is caused by the parents, and Harris behavior is only the results of this disappointing royal family, shame !
Well said.
At KC's coronation today the majority of them looked away when Hazbeen looked at them and some pretended they didn't see him. Absolutely brilliant and hope he finally got the message that he's not respected. The coronation was incredible, classy and regal
I noticed that unlike at the Jubilee , where all turned and glared , people looked down , ahead or to each other . He received a very well deserved cut direct . Harry is done . Goodbye !
He’s a disgrace
Yes I did notice a lot of people gave him the cold shoulder. Good
Harry will reap all that he has sowed.
What a wonderful red feather the Princess Royal had in her hat.
Charming upper class gentleman. The world would be a better place if there were more like him, not just among the British upper class but in wider society, all classes, all races.
There should be no classes, much as I am in favour of the monarchy. Social injustice still exists and it should have no place in the 21st century
There are always going to be 'classes' within the human race (btw there is only one race), despite communistic carping (where has it ever worked?) whether binding together with likeminded intellect, knowledge, locality, interests or whatever else - the issue is how we interact with each other on a kindness, generous, love your neighbour level.
Listen to you "upper class" no wonder we're in this mess
@@leslie-annmills-gomez8763 Some people are extremely more beautiful than others, some are more intelligent than others. The list goes on.
Simon Payne - You have managed, quite impressively, to make a remark that is devoid of value, clarity, or any significant meaning.
It is utterly nebulous yet painfully nauseating. Have you considered writing for the Daily Mail?
As stated he presents as a positive brilliant man. We live in a time when interviews seek out the worst in people, not my cup of tea! I look for for good and goodness in humans that is what uplift my life. I invite people to start demanding a better world which might start with caring for each other! Opening eyes to kindness.
King Charles has a wonderful friend in Lord Soames.
What a lovely, upbuilding interview! I enjoyed hearing the views of two respectful, and thoughtful individuals, who clearly knew what they were talking about!
I so appreciate Lord Soames. Wonderful character.
A 75 year old man is often more like a 50 year old man of 2 decades ago.KC has health & longevity in his family. His parents lived well into their 90's and his grandmother lived to be over 100. We have every reason to expect KC to have a long, fruitful reign.
At least 10 years.
@@lesliepropheter5040 🍷🍷🍷🍷needs to stay off it
Im hoping for 15-20 year reign.
I think he will manage that. He needs to stop pleasing people and stop with this slimmed down monarchy. He is not young and should include the York sisters in the mix to take on the work
Pretty amazing considering their inbreeding! 🤔
These hosts can at times be hugely irritating. So what if he has palaces and not a regular? Why does it matter? He is a King.
@dem08 It's not a problem. Feeble minded paupers and bludgers should accept life as it is. You don't get it.
And evidently you and other don’t get how much revenue comes to the country because of having them. 100 million is a huge layout yes but the expected 8 billion in revenue back into the country isn’t a bad return. Then you have people moaning about the designer dresses etc Bruce Oldfield jesse collett Alexander McQueen all British designers and don’t forget the hundreds of U.K. small businesses farmer florists and food producers. Oh and just in case you didn’t know the whole royal family costs you and I under the price of one cup of coffee a year in 2021-2022 it was £1.29, and they are patrons to around 3000 charity’s large and small local and international in the case of princess royal. We would lose more than we gain for not having them. You think not having then will equalise us it would be fairer life would be better we’ll think again there would still be the have and the have nots and the rich and the poor those that think they are better than us because that the nature of humans sadly. Personally I think my one coffee worth was well spent because at the end of the day for better or worse it promoted my country and was an amazing piece of living history and that brings in the tourists and business opportunities and that’s fine by me. Not bad either that he was an eco warrior before it was fashionable time has proved him right.
@dem08 No, we get it. We just don't agree. Is it populism you want? Don't forget in the republic of the US, populism gave us Trump--the guy with the golden toilet.
So much that is held by the Royal Family is held in trust. If that was dispearsed very few would be better off.
Apart from private homes/apartments, much is public access.
Prince Philip made a lot more of the properties no longer run at a loss.
If the family did step down, their private money would be theirs, just like any other billionaire.
You would have a much better case to attack those like the Duke of Westminsters, who set up their huge estates to be a trust, to have the use of everything, but not own it, and to pay little in death duties or income tax.
There should be a law that trusts must pay a MINIMUM of 3% of the total value of the trust, whether or not the trust makes a profit.
So there is no way they can be multi millionaires/billionaires and not pay any tax.
Same for big companies. No matter what they do to officially run at a loss, they still pay 3% of their official holdings.
That would fix the NHS woes with a handful of billionaires. And as for the Brit billionaires who live in tax exile countries, they pay 10% a year on everything held in UK. Taken out before they can remove profits overseas. If all countries do that, the world would be in a far better state. There would be nowhere to hide.
British constitution is so clever , the monarchy stops the priministers from getting ahead of themselves
Not only did the Queen attend the funeral , she had ordered it to be a " state funeral". Normally, only the monarch gets a
state funeral. This was a great honor to a great man.
The other non-monarch to get a state funeral was the Duke of Wellington in 1852.
Prince Philip did not have a state funeral and wouldnt have wanted the fuss anyway.
Nice chap, I wish him well. Charles is a cool dude I like him
he is not only amazing, but he is a kind of friends you would dream..
Especially if you belong to the working class and your 10 years old children as yourself work underground and go to bed hungry and miserable.
Wonderful your love and loyality to your goodlike class.
Thank you for your support of Brexit and abolish Great Britain as civilized country.
If I believed in devils I had found them.
As expected, a wonderfully clear and honest conversation, kudos to both, thank you
PM Churchill was a leader that the world needed, he saved the UK and the world. I just read about Dunkirk, without him, so many British soldiers would have died. What a remarkable gentleman.
We had tanks in ww1 because of Churchill . We has a nation owe a great debt of gratitude

Great interviewer and great interview. Thank you
What an amazing interview. This should be on the main media channels. But so glad I stumbled upon it by chance here. Thank you.
If this is the caliber of friends that the King is surrounded by, then he is very fortunate man! What an absolute gentleman..
i agree it is a wonderful interview...how lucky for the king to have such a friend...and to get a glimpse of a the churchill dynasty is quite frankly amazing...wonderfully amazing...tino pai! all the way from aotearoa(nz) to paraphrase taika waititi "the colonies" i shall be staying up and watching
I watched the Coronation in its entirety from a foreign country, and must confess that, for all the majestic pomp and splendour, for which the British are renown, it was the choice of music that supremely impressed me. Knowing from this interview, that these were the personal choices of The King himself, speaks volumes about the innate character of the man. I pray God to Bless The King, The Queen, their families, the nation, and the Commonwealth. GOD SAVE THE KING PS. Imagine that we all could be and have friends the likes of Lord Nicholas Soames...
The music was spectacular! I have viewed the Coronation 3 times.Thankfully, here in US
the BBC coverage was available on PBS. It can also be accessed on RUclips either the full
7 hours or shorter versions. Only the BBC can cover Royal events properly. The American
coverage is awful. They should just stay home.
Although, Handel's "Zadok the Priest" is quite locked into the music of coronations, having been performed at every one since George II's Coronation in 1727. Charles could have dropped it, but the blowback would have been enormous.
@@ellensheilaapkarian1420 - I agree. The BBC did a glorious job covering it. I’m an American of an English mother. I watched the Coronation starting at 5am here in the USA. When the USA station addressed Charles as HRH King Charles I was annoyed……he’s NOT HRH…..he’s His Majesty …….if you’re going to be a Royal commentator…..do your homework. God Save the King….🇺🇸🇬🇧💕
Think about the millions and trillions of British people living in poverty, these people going to food banks and starving, whilst the monarchy spends millions for Charles's crowning..... shame on them.
@@peregrine7303 the monarchy bring more to the country than they cost, just a couple months ago The King donates 1 billion pounds to the public rather than been used for the monarchy. Rationally, a good apolitical figure head that brings more money is a lot better than corrupted politicians.
Lord Soames is a beacon of reason and civility flashing away in today's rude and tempestuous seas.
This is a lovely interview. God save the King.
Excellent interview. I remember a time when this would be how interviews were typically conducted.
Terrific interview. Many thanks.
🌹🇦🇺
I totally agree with Lord Soames , Harry break his father heart.
Charles broke Diana's heart, carrying on an affair before, during and after his marriage to Diana. The royals are emotionally dysfunctional , damaged, as are so many are in the English aristocracy and establishmant in general. The bizarre practice of sending their children away to boarding schools to be traumatised is disgusting. The damage done filters through society when you get people in high office due to who they know or what school they went to instead of whether they have an ounce of intelligence or talent.
The King has broken Harry's heart even if it goes both ways.
Nick Soames, top banana, missed immensely as MP.
Watching and listening to him gives me goosebumps...in a good way of course. It is like the shadow of Winston just beyond the veil. What a lovely man, I love how he speaks and his polite, regal manner
Excellent. Churchill’s grandson is a straightforward, honest person; his replies to the interviewer were what any ordinary citizen would hope for and expect. Thank you for sharing this.
What an amazing gentleman, I look forward to the coronation, Thank you from Texas.
I could listen to this gentleman ALL day... This was wonderful, thank you so much.....
King Charles knows more about the life and understands the difficulties of the general public of this Country than all our Politicians put together. Long live Prince Charles ❤️❤️
Unfortunately KC3 is a supporter of the evil WEF. Their video from shows the King supporting ‘the great reset of the 4th Industrial Revolution’ and at the end of the video ‘ you will own nothing and be happy’.
Excellent interview. Thank you.
What a nice man. So lovely to hear him speaking so well of our King. A true friend
Watching this from Canada…simply outstanding interview!
Loved this interview. Full of old world charm, manners and eloquence.
I agree I have heard no carping , the Brits love their traditions , nothing like it in any other nation on earth , Beautiful and apart from the mundane in life … great interview ❤ well spoken from the heart Lord Soames , thank you .

Too much publicity for Prince Harry.
Not the only family on the face of the earth with difficulty from a sibling.
The publicity seems to be dieing down--- just let it fade away.

@@Winterg-sd1rtThat is not true as I clicked on because of the Churchill connection , and not Harry . History and the background of tradition is fascinating. 😊😊
@@BlackStump172 Who wants to celebrate King Charles the Adulterer head of state and Camilla the Rottweiler dangerous adultress Jezebel...Only You!
What’s happened between Harry and his family is something many of the English public can relate to personally. For King Charles III to have been deeply affected by his son in such a public manner can only instill a stronger bond within the realm.
I've only watched a few minutes of this but NS is absolutely lovely. I'm a "blubberer" too; my goodness, when the heralds came out on the final Jubilee day last June and our beloved late Queen appeared in her green magnificence, there was such an emotion in my heart. It was her goodbye to us and most of us watching on TV - or there in the crowd, or on the balcony - were aware of that. The concerned look the then Duchess of Cornwall gave to her husband said it all. It was a hugely emotional moment in the nation's history. You could almost feel the ground shake. So Soames, who was so young at his grandfather's funeral - and which Prince Charles also attended in 1965 - has perhaps a deeper insight into it all; and an emotional connection to the mystical and historical connection than anyone outside of the immediate RF.
What a duo and they loved each other. Churchill 👏👏👏💯✔️💋
Great interview!
Like watching a modern day Winston Churchill. 🇬🇧
We also need to remember how unpopular Queen Victoria was at times. She was going to be the last monarch too.
The behaviour and actions of the King will determine whether the Monarchy continues . It is up to the people , through their Parliament .
Good point
@@BlackStump172, but all proposed laws require the monarch's assent before in order to become law. That would include the abolition of the monarchy. Why would the King assent to his own abolition?

I am Irish, never even heard of Soames,but what a speaker,I could never tire of listening to his words of wisdom,and Our King Charles is so lucky yo have a friend like him and vice versa if you know what I mean
Prince Harry has behaved in an immature and petulant manner. Shame on him. This is a good example of an overindulged child/adult is allowed to associate with then marry a woman who is socially inferior. Megan Markle has that black, street fighter, “get what’s mine” mentality. The higher the social status of her perceived “enemy” the greater the thrill of damaging them. Harry may have had emotional issues with his family but Megan fired up his level of resentment and anger for sure. She is not a nice person and she doesn’t have her family’s best interests at heart.
You forget what Charles did to Harry's mother. Having the morals of a tomcat is no recommendation for a monarch and is symptomatic of the general breakdown of social norms in this country. In the past his ancestors depraved behaviour would have merely been rumour, something whispered about in dark corners or laughed about in the pub. Now information spreads so quickly, the royal family can no longer get away with it.
@@buttyboy100 Diana presented herself as one thing before the wedding, then revealed herself to be something else afterwards. She was the first to stray from that marriage and was the third woman in more marriages than those who knew her cared to count. This is a matter of public record and it was the reason The late Queen ordered they divorce. I suggest you read The Real Diana by Lady Colin Campbell and stop spreading these fictions. Recollections do vary.
That was a good interview.
So refreshing to hear a quality interview conducted with admirable integrity and yet still remaining incisive.
