These old newsreels are so informative. I'm glad they've been preserved for millions to see.
Wow to think in 20-30 years from now we’ll be looking at today’s footage of the Queen Elizabeth 2 like this .History !
True, I mean 60 years from now, she’ll be gone and there will be stories of her from people today who are alive right now, I even get to tell my grandkids that I was alive during her reign, it’ll be like people telling stories about Queen Victoria
Apparently with jfk, no? And prince Phillip flirting and tryna get on/in with Jacqueline kennedy... (shes ugly as btw, her eyes are very far apart 🤭🤣)
@@iamamousee1182 you mean 1,000 years from now? Lizzie lives forever, after all.

It's crazy the Queen mother only died 20 years ago. 1939 was not very long ago at all
I appreciate and kindly respect the friendly relationship between the USA 🇺🇸 and the UK 🇬🇧
Indeed. 1776 need not be a wedge between us, for we all after all of common origin
We can thank that to Teddy
As a Canadian, it sounds weird hearing a British voice refer to Canada as "our great Dominion." But it's interesting that Their Majesties visited the US as King and Queen of Canada, which has been a thing since the Statute of Westminster in 1931.
I mean we keep forgetting that the USA was an former British colony so it wouldn't be that much weird
@@TreyMessiah95 I don't forget that. I actually point out frequently that the base of US culture is British culture, with additions from all the many migrants that assimilated over the years, with special note given to Spanish/Latin American cultures (13% of US citizens speak Spanish as a 1st language, which is more than the population of Canada), Germans, Chinese, Vietnamese, the French (in particular, French Canadians, actually), Irish, and Italians.
However, the de facto official language is is English. There has been constant cultural exchange between Great Britain/UK and the USA for hundreds of years. The US uses the Imperial system of measurement, which is British. A lot of sport, literature, entertainment etc comes from evolution of what settlers brought with them and that they can share music, literature, and film through a shared language. That said, most popular music derives from Black culture and Celtic cultures and cuisine is all over the place.
@@TreyMessiah95 Oh, also the reason the US is so hegemonistic, Manifest Destiny, control the world militarily, and all that, is they get it from mum, aka the British Empire
@@raynemichelle2996 While the culture of the Eastern United States may be based on English culture, the culture here in the West and Southwest is not English at all until you get a lot closer to Oregon. We speak English, but that’s it. There’s not much of a tie to England, Britain, or the British North American colonial heritage at all. Our colonial heritage is from Spain, subsequently Mexico. Your colonial Williamsburg doesn’t evoke those feelings here.
@@TreyMessiah95 Only a small part of the USA were British. The colonial heritage where I live is Spanish Missions, subsequently Mexican Presidios, and their fort around which Sacramento was built.
She was NOT the Queen Mother at this time. She was Queen Elizabeth, Queen Consort.
Indeed but retroactively she has become the Queen Mother to we modern people at all stages of her life
Just love to imagine what it was like to be there in living color as if it were the present day through the eyes of the king or president. What a marvelous day and experience it must have been.
King and Queen made a very elegant couple.
When he was George VI she was not the Queen Mother, she was Queen.
Ah, good I am glad someone caught the mistake. Congratulations Peter.
Who said otherwise?
@@garypulliam3740 the caption
While the parade rolled through Washington, back at the White House, housekeeper Henrietta Nesbitt was trying to find commercially-made cornbread sticks to go with the terrapin stew, a shower-cap to replace a torn one of the Queen's, getting blankets down from storage for the royal beds. In spite of the summer heat, the royal maids insisted on wool blankets for the King and Queen. They got them, complete with the moth ball smell from storage. She also had to substitute a pineapple dessert for the state dinner, since the tea party at the British embassy served strawberries, which she had planned to serve at dinner as strawberry shortcake. These are notes from the diary of Mrs. Nesbitt on that historic day.

Awesome!
I adore both majesties personalized waves ❤️ it seems I’ve noticed that each Monarch over time seems to adopt their own style of it, but I find the Queen Mothers to be most gracious and warm-hearted, I can see where Queen Elizabeth II’s inspiration may have stemmed from! 🥰
Yes, they both seriously lived up to the tremendous challenge with great grace and charm. Sad that women in leadership in this country don't even try.
Да, просто, масоны, начиная с короля-масона Эдварда VII

They are the King and Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland not England.
Fortunately in 1939 Queen Elizabeth was not the Queen Mother . She became the Queen Mother when her husband died and her Daughter became Queen Elizabeth II of England and Just Queen Elizabeth in Scotland.
No, she became Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. There has not been a Queen of England or Scotland since 1707 when the ancient kingdoms ceased to exist. Regnal numbering is at the discretion of the sovereign.
I adore British History!!
See Lady Diana Cooper’s autobiographies. 3 volumes.
Full of oppression and genocide
Same ( I am British ) 🇬🇧
Specially when Oliver Crownwell ruled UK.
Kinda odd to see the tomb of the unknown soldier cause its about to be more populated within a few years
And for what? FDR was a warmonger hellbent on getting the US involved in WW2.
Smart diplomacy here by the His Majesty the British King and his Queen to go see FDR in 1939. I think this trip did more to secure a future understanding for American Lend Lease Aid than anything else. You know darn good and well British officials and American officials talked about little else than Hitler's aggression in Europe and Japan's menace in China and the Pacific. This Royal trip was a business trip. I only wish America had done more to help Britain sooner in a much bigger way against Hitler. A September, 1939 Declaration of War against Nazi Germany with total all out American emergency military mobilization was more than justified. All American isolationists accomplished was to prolong the war an extra year or more and increase American casualties by at least 100,000 dead and maimed.
This was right around the time that the mantle of World's Most Powerful and Influential Nation passed from the UK to the USA
Wonderful History!
This video delights my heart very much. I cannot be more proud or to have my English heritage and living in this great nation as an American.
Гордиться больше не чем, тем более сатанинская династия масонов, начиная с масона-короля Эдварда VII - предал и себя и всех своих подданных под глобалистов, иудо-масонов,
Magnífico!!!!Foi de uma grandeza Fenomenal 🙏🙏🙏
Such a proud moment for everybody involved! I hope we can recreate this soon with Charles III.
When he said "LaGuardia" I thought of the airport for a second
Well it is named after him.
@@johnkilcullen1051 it's just weird in this context
Did Roosevelt need his wheelchair at this point or was he still using those metal braces on his legs for public image? You'd like to think king George wouldn't have asked him of that unless he didn't know about the Presidents illness.
I think his advisors would have mentioned it to the King's own royal advisors and they would then tell him about it.
According to a book that I am currently reading, 'The Roosevelts and the Royals', the President was still using leg braces which forced him to not participate in some of these events. In fact at one particular event, the President waited in the car.
This of course takes place in 1939, in the event that you were not aware, but I suspect that you do know this already.
The book also depicts friction between the Roosevelts and Royals [servants] for the 1939 visit to America.
To anyone who enjoys to read about this subject matter, I would recommend this book.
I'm sure the king and queen saw him in his wheelchair in private. In public he nearly always had the leg braces unless he was sitting still or in a car.
Seeing FDR in a top hat makes me wonder when was the last time we saw a president in a top hat. Was it him?
John F. Kennedy I think was the last.
@@mukbangsareawesome6335 ah.... Makes sense. The '60s were the last of the "hat years" in terms of male fashion. I think 1965 was the last year that they were popular en masse.
Not sure, but he might have been the last to use a top hat. Eisenhower went around in a fedora hat as president from everything I've seen, even when he met with Queen Elizabeth II to open the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 50s.
Last president to use a top hat was John F Kennedy
Life was so simple back then
To think the king of England went to the United States a country that declared independence from them, but yet their friends now
Exactly five years after this visit, 29,000 American boys would die (106,000 wounded) storming the beaches of Normandy.
😂😂😂 Notice that Google has decided that this newsreel from 1939 needs to be marked with an assurance that US elections have "robust safeguards".
I’m American. Descendant of House Stuart through Mary Queen of Scots; and I admire King George VI, a great ruler.
George (not Washington) was shy but he stood up against the axis.
Back when America was good
Lol
The US is the richest nation in the world, has the strongest military, largest economy, most influential politically, best universities, best sports nation, dominates music, movies, TV shows, top companies, top internet sites, most diverse, immigrant nation, most Nobel Prize winners by far, first nation to put a man on the moon, fought off Germany and Japan and rebuilt Europe through the Marshall Plan, protected Europe from Communism and fought off communist Soviet Union, US gives more foreign aid than any other nation in the world. The US also provides the breakthroughs in much of medicine and technology that Europeans then use, without having created with their system. Europeans are able to live in a peaceful world order where they can spend less on military and focus on their homogenous societies. But that doesn’t happen out of a vacuum. It comes from the Pax Americana the US provided. If every liberal democracy was Denmark, fascism, communism, authoritarianism and/or Islamic fundamentalism would dominate the world and nations would all be immeasurably worse off. Not to mention that besides other smaller nations having their quality of life because of the U.S. created world order and US advancements, no nation in human history as large and diverse as the US has had as high a quality of life as the US. The only nations that can have a higher quality of life than the US are nations much smaller, more homogenous, which benefit from the US created world order and US advancements, and which are specifically smaller and more homogenous than most large countries. Of course the top nation in the world will always be the most targeted, it’s always been this way. A truly mediocre nation would not be as targeted, because people have the inclination to try to take out the guy at the top
Oh yes, racial segregation, apartheid, and American antisemitism.
The curtesy are just pure perfection
Yhe costume and hat of yhe king are beautiful.
I had read that for one of their dinners, maybe at Camp David, that Eleanor served hot dogs. I'm not sure what else she served with it.
To know both leaders (well, King and President) struggled to hide their disabilities. They must, at least I hope, have bonded uniquely.
many moons ago, interesting to see her parents.

3:25 its wild the way he put it
So interesting looking at the changes in women’s attire. Full length dresses during the day still being worn by women in society, while the public is wearing mid calf length. Times moved on in the net generation. Still, even today society holds with dated mores following the rules of the monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II's history shoulden't be looked back on as the same time advancement structure to which you first watched this video, but you can guarentee the nostaliga will come in time. This video doesn't quite match to her; we are not looking back at one of the only examples in 83 years prior as in the case of this, although we have the ease of ability to now. She was one of a kind.
Queen Elizabeth so charming and lovely
You mean the queen mother?
@@theremoteanater yes
@@theremoteanaterseriously, relax it's like you lot get offended if someone get it's wrong by mistake. No wonder prince harry and meghan markle left the royal family.
Did they just say 90 degree heat? In 1939? That's just as hot as it is now.
Wearing wool dresses in 90° heat could not have been very comfortable.
I wasn’t sure if they said “19° heat” (Celsius), but that’s only 66.2° F, plus the Closed Captioning says “ninety degree heat”, and DC does get hot and humid in the summers (with an average high of 89° F in July).
😎
I'm commenting today on the 84th anniversary of the occasion.
It’s absoloutely astonishing to see the british royals so humbled. They look much top small for new york alone 😂
It’s crazy to think that both nations were at war with each other 127 years earlier. And only 156 years before that was the end of the American revolution
That's why George VI laying the wreath at Washington's Tomb was seen as highly symbolic (at least in the US). It was a sign that the hatchet had truly been buried, the past had been accepted, and both nations were moving forward in a constructive relationship (and safe to say, that alliance has worked out pretty well).
The British public has held positive views of Americans even during the revolutionary war so its not that crazy. We are very similar countries an alliance is obvious
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
They could never even consider riding in open cars now. Sadly, they’d each be assassinated. We’ve literally become the wild wild west
Starting with JFK
How tall was Mrs. Roosevelt? She towers over the Queen.
The Queen was very petite, as is her daughter
Back when America was great.
Roosevelt standing.
He was lucky to come back to Britain without being assassinated at that time 😂😂😂
Why would he be ?
They’re all British Americans
PorfavorPongan lo en Español ya que no todos hablamos Ingles, Gracias.
Hola senorita, como esta?
Queen Elizabeth was not The Queen Mother at that time.
No bow from President Roosevelt or curtsy from the First Lady as representatives of the American Republic.
It was not needed. Americans are not subjects of the King. But we who are subjects voluntarily bow
oh! so it's a pan am advertorial? and boy, did she love her clothes or what?
I imagine she loved both her clothes and her what.

They’d all be spinning if they saw what happened to their country and america
Waited all the way until 1939 smh you guys are petty af
The British Monarch didn't 'do' state visits beyond European Monarchies until George VI and the advent of reliable air and speedier sea travel. I don't believe it had anything to do with pettiness. The first US President to visit the UK only did so as the result of the First World War, when relations vastly improved.
Edward VII had visited the USA before he was king
AMERICA is the continent which is correct for history and geography.
Amerigo Vespucci the Italian navigator at the service of Spain, (the first to recognize the existence of a new world). I NEVER explore North America.
And Brazil was the first region of planet Earth to legitimately receive the name of AMERICA, in 1507 by European cartographers officially.
(The documents are official).
Therefore a country called the United States has nothing to do with the name AMERICA.
Taking / Misappropriating the name of the continent cannot change history as they (the North Americans) did in 1776.
The real story is: America has been the continent (just the continent) and the region of Brazil since 1507, is the first AMERICA.
The US does have everything to do with America because first off the “new world” has been here the same as the “old world” 2ndly who cares what the EUROPEANS called this land “misappropriating the name of the continent cannot change history as they (the North Americans) did in 1776” is dumb af because the North Americans were Native to the Western Hemisphere and had every right to pull from the European system with calling brazil “America” why would they care what the Europeans name their continent if the Europeans aren’t the ones from there💀 Western Hemisphere natives can call their countries/continents wtv
You just wanna sound smart
Nah
That's actually not true. Amerigo Vespucci called Brazil Amerigo after himself but Spain and France were already declaring land for themselves as far back as 1502 and the 1400s. The French Fur Traders were in what is Canada today and would follow the Mississippi River down into Lousiana and then sail to Florida and the Caribbean where the Portuguese, the Spanish, and the British were. Then sail back to Europe. Remember, Spanish English and French are ALL languages of conquest. You can go to Africa Asia Latin America and most people will speak at least 1 of these 3 languages. Portuguese is not a language of conquest. Only the Natives of Brazil were conquered by them. My husband is from Africa and some parts spea Portuguese in the Western part but mainly because of the slave ports which are still there.

None of the American women curtsied
Why should they? It was not "American" royalty who had come to visit.
Good. Nor should they.
It's not expected of foreigners to curtsey but it is polite but they are not held accountable for it. That's the difference between the British and the us, in the us we are citizens where the British are subjects and not citizens.
Seeing those Y--T--- advisories attached to these videos certainly makes one feel degraded, at being even a passive party to their oligarchical propaganda.
1:30 Eleanore Roosvelt try her lesbian charm
Eleanor not Eleanore
It must suck to be king and queen when you have the gods living in America
And who would those be????
"AMERICA" Is a continent, not a country.
North and/or South.
No one cares what latin america thinks.
While you guys are enchanted by the charm of the leaders of the two mightiest empires of the world at the time, I’d like to kindly remind you that it was also a time when millions of Africans living under British colonial rule lost everything to the colonists and were forced out of their ancestral homeland to make room for those that came to enslave them.
At the same time, in America, Africans were treated like something less than full humans and dozens were lynched in a ceremonial manner every year. A lynching was probably occurring at the same time of this reception.
Have a good day
Give over.
This is insanity at its finest.
Wow : as an American I am amazed : my leader welcome the ruler of the most repressive ( Empire ) in history .
The British Empire who's wealth is gotten from ( opium dealing / slavery / piracy)
The occupation of weaker countries / stealing there resources exploiting there inhabitants .
When I see this it becomes clear why my president who is sworn to serve America and its citizens and interests maneuvered America into physically get involved in Ww2 .
FDR like Wilson before him but the interest of the British Empire ahead of the interests of his country
The lives of tens of thousand American soldiers is on there head and there ( co conspirators )
If there is a ( hell) you will find FDR there with / Churchill / Stalin / Hitler
Most repressive, lol. Ever heard of the Assyrian Empire? The Mughals? Ivan the Terrible? The Japanese during WW2? No, of course you haven't.
BTW, it was the British who ended slavery.
And the slave trade from Africa to America was only possible because of the enthusiastic co-operation of African leaders and chieftains. It was a trade that existed long before the white man arrived, AND STILL DOES.
Matthew 7:2-5 (King James Version)
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
And you think American history is without a stain? The U.S. had an a Empire, tiny in comparison, but very real never the less. The Hawaiian Islands, the Phillipines, Guam, Samoa, the Marianas, Puerto Rico, and for a while the Canal Zone. Acquired by conquest or strong arming. America is not immune to the brutalities of history. Finally, the choice was between capitulation to the Axis' drive for domination or joining Britain during World War II. The right choice was made.
Your right : I enlisted in the American Navy and served from 1972 - 1980 but the reason for my service was to defend ( liberty and justice for all ) that proved to be a lie , like Marine Corp. General Smedley Butler I realized I was serving ( international capitalism)
My country is called a Republic but the English call themselves the ( British Empire ) an Empire rules over conquered peoples and the English revel in there Empire
As an American service man I enlisted to defend the principles of ( freedom and justice )
I recently read two books written by William Sheir ( the rise and fall of the third Reich ) and ( the rise and fall of the third republic ) then there's Allison Weir ( Against our better judgement )
If the information in these books is remotely accurate then my country had no business saving the British Empire
To say that the British Empire is morally superior to the Nazi Empire is well .
You need to read more history
@@richardgietzen4591 Really? You have no idea what my academic background is. Furthermore, historians write from different perspectives that are sometimes at variance with each other. They can reach different conclusions about the same event. Finally, the United States has entered wars for a slew of reasons, but rarely for liberty or justice. Instead, it has been to accomplish foreign policy or domestic goals, such as territorial expansion or containment of an enemy. And yes America had Imperial ambitions, even though they did not call themselves an Empire. At least the British were blunt and truthful and called themselves an empire.
Why “King and Queen of Canada”?
Canada's considered a Dominion rather than a territory of the British, so the British royal family added that as their title (from the 1800s to the 1940s, they also used the title Emperor/Empress of India).
Because they were king and queen of Canada, independent of status in Britain.
Canada was a dominion of the British Empire at the time
Because the Canadians have never quite been able to cut the umbilical chord with Mother England.
