- As Britain emerged victorious from the Falklands War, it turned its attention to repairing relations with one of its most important allies: the U.S. Nothing short of a 160-person banquet hosted by Queen Elizabeth herself would do.

Thank you for the memories. You were Our Queen. Miss you. love Canada.
Ah before presidents had twitter...
before when a president seemed qualified.
You did not sweep the chairs enough. *Alliance terminated*
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Just feed with the President with royal food on solid gold plates and silver spoon and fork, courtesy of tax payers' money of course, and he'll say yes.
Plot twist: In alternate universe, the President said "No, America won't help you. Thanks for the free lunch anyway." and then burps.
If Britain didn't get help from the USA, Britain would've ended its alliance with the USA and the USA continues to lose all of it''s wars.

What a time to be young as I was at that time. Early 80’s was an exciting time ❤❤❤
I wonder how those who worked all their life and still had nothing, struggle to war their house in the winter woul feel when watching this..
You compared a peasant to royalty,,, you know how big of a class difference that is?
I'm surprised the Queen needs so many candles on her dining table though. In our house we can afford electricity.
@@victorymorningstar I know
And that's the difference between us the Commoners and them the Royal Family👑
Excellent presentation! Love your work!
Believe me my dinner table is still better😎
Suleman Liaqat care to elaborate?
No surprise for all the hassle involved.
But seeing all those things being prepared still amaze me.
Six months take to organise da best dinner or lunch party. Lavish of lavish gold solid plate diamond cutlery. Silver diamond gold glasses. Just wow
Magnificent banquet content love love these kind of table preparations 👑💖
Do you think the British royal family will provide guests from other countries with the same grade of royal banquets? No way ❢❢❢ Every production has a grade, such as flowers on the table, sconces, and queen's dresses. Compare the royal banquets of guests from different countries. The British royal family is very mean.
There's a wonderful snipit from the full documentary that was omitted from this segment, where Paul Burrell talks about how the Queen lamented her anger to him at how the Presidents security made such a fuss about how secure the Castle was for the US head of state, despite it literally being her, the Queens, official residence.
The days of royalty such as this will soon be a memory, belonging to history books alone. Many reasons for its unraveling: "A house divided cannot stand."
The Argentine ship Belgrano, which was sunk by the British nuclear powered hunter killer submarine HMS Conqueror during the Falklands war, was originally the US Navy ship USS Phoenix. The USS Phoenix (later the Belgrano) was at Pearl Harbour when the Japanese attacked and saw action throughout the Second World war. The US sold it to Argentina in 1956, who renamed it Belgrano. The Phoenix/Belgrano is the only ship to have been sunk by a nuclear powered hunter killer submarine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARA_General_Belgrano en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Phoenix_(CL-46)
The Butler looked like Lord Grantham from Downton Abbey!!!
That waste of oxygen is Paul Burrell who was butler/man servant to Diana, Princess of Wales. The man she referred to as 'My rock'. The odious creep who, after her death, sold her down the river by revealing personal and private details of his time working for her and was paid handsomely for doing so.
THIS IS WHAT PRESIDENT SHOULD LOOK/act like
500 served 160. Those napkin folds looked like wimpy penguins.
The first bit of that video doesn't sound accurate to me.
The US during the conflict offered the UK the use (via loaning) of the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2) along with retired seamen to instruct RN seamen in her operation or even crew her in the event that the RN lost one of it's carriers. The USS Iwo Jima though primarily meant to carry helicopters on it's flight deck was fully capable of operating the US Marine's version of the Harrier making her a perfect replacement for the RN (as they operated the original Harrier) in the event that she lost one of her 2 carriers. This offer was made in secret in response to a request the UK made.
Officially the US was neutral regarding matters in South America but the US allowed the RN to access US fuel on the British owned island of Ascension, eventually agreeing the give the RN access even to the reserve fuel stockpile they had on the island, this was done until the British managed to sort out their fuel logistics where afterwards they provided their own fuel. Though the US did do things like limit bandwidth for their satellites which were being leased out to facilitate communications and other transmissions. So though they claimed neutrality the US at the time (via the Reagan administration) was willing to jeopardize it's relations with it's neighbors to help the British save face.
mithikx ".. help the British save face." What on earth does that mean? British territory was invaded by a foreign power. The objective was not to 'save face', but to kick that foreign power off British territory. That objective was achieved thanks to a logistical exercise never attempted before by any nation.
Well compared to the commonwealths and other European countries responses the US's was lacklustre. Especially considering they are our closest ally and that we honoured the alliance in the korean, Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
"I doubt you guys would have been saying it was to 'save face' if someone invaded US territory"
You would if it was over fucking Guam. Brits and their obsession over rocks in the ocean, my word.
Well this is excessively extravagant
Tom Richards What good the extravagant world used for if not a banquet?
I love the Queen
Your eyes are shut.
starlite556 actually right now they aren't.
I miss Ronald Reagan. We sure could use him now as a President. He was a wonderful President in which both sides were able to truly work with and that way each side felt cared for. That's how things should be ...compromise and balancing the budget, never overspending and caring for those who can't care for themselves properly.
Best President in America History. I noticed him even during his tenancy when I was younger. After him is President Obama. The rest just get by. You need humble President and make the country well so that people's hardships are addressed speedily
And you think a president is cheap
Nancy looked stunning!
I thought she looked fat.
@@drinny26 rotten comment. I think your post is 💩
H London oh have a sense of humor. Of course she looked stunning.
I like her dress! 👑👑
I just watched this to throw up that awful dinner I had.
I wouldn't have any idea on which cutlery to use. I know it is simple in fine dining as everything is done for you in that situation, but still, to see five forks and 6 glasses, what stress!!!
Missditabomb It's not stressing, really. It's quite more of a Necessary. After so much meal, your silver spoon, forks and knives started to get dirty, and dirty silver spoon are hard to clean. So they make us to change cutlery on every meal so it could be cleaned easily later. Just begin from the outside and work your way in.
Thanks. That is what Molly Brown said in the movie,"Titanic", to "Jack" when he was invited to a first class dinner. "just work your way in", I DO know how to dine in formal circumstances, but that is it, FORMAL. I have always liked a blanket, some wine, good French Baguette, cheese, grapes, my love, my pet, and a bright, sunshiny day!! Oh, by the way @Chrstian Djami, it sounds like you work in the royal household. Do you?
The British always get what they want
Чего же хотят и что именно получают подданные Великобритании?
Forget about it. Don't ya reckon that crystal clear dropped might mean a dead dear up the stream?
Just enjoy the glimpse into the Royal style of banquet instead of judging the war !
Wonder if they ever gave "doggie-bags"? (One can dream, can't he?)☺
Bet it's so uncorfortable to eat in something like that.
I wish more people recognized the importance of the Royal Family. The Queen is no figurehead in need of British handouts. She is very likely a trillionaire. Her role in global peace and global security and global diplomacy is unfathomable. Her family has helped this planet far more than they have hurt it; for a monarch, this and her reign have been unprecedented. Here's hoping William and Kate understand the role they will play for the next century.
James Dooling --- They are still thieves and murderers.
James Dooling what has the family done but waste public money?! It's unfathoable that the Brits still love to bow down to some useless figurehead
I think I'm going to vomit after read your comment .
U must be living under a fossil if u think that the British family didn't do anything wrong. Ur a brit u wouldn't know anything about their atrocities in other nations. Just check out ur country's and the family's colonial history.
E. D. wait William complains about how hard his life is where? And Kate stalked him?
It's Downton on speed!
I saw Thatcher, the Queen, Philip, Charles, but where is Diana ? Reagan's speech mentions she is expecting a child soon. Did she skip the dinner because she was close to her due date ?
Geez, when it got to 1:04 ? I had the monitor on full screen, and for a moment, I thought I'd been given an overhead shot of a munchkin-size KKK-meeting, with all those white towels "perked up" on the table...☺!
bruno640 lol I thought same
Like the royals would care. 😆
I am so proud he was the 1st President I voted for in 1984
The United States only agreed to stay out of the conflict and not to interfere.
wonder if the staff got paid OT
Tax payers payed obviously.
But do they really eat anything there
Back in the day when we had presidents with a brain and not acting like a child throwing a trantrum
Wow I wonder how much those gold plates cost??!
We had important gold mines in Wales most of the pieces are after Charles the second's reign . All earlier pieces having been melted down by Oliver Cromwell After the war with Catholic married, Charles the first.. Who was decapitated, after the Puritans won independence . Only to be lost by Cromwell's son a few years later . Thats when America started its taking over from the native Indians . All though friendship with them lasted many decades. Eventually greed took over from Ethics . And has Never ceased. (Charles the second gave land to Noblemen to plant tobacco Virginia )
money you peasant stop dreaming
Argentinians Disliked This
It didn’t show the human meat that they feast on...
Lovely spread but what I want to know is - who pays fur it!!??
Who cares it's Britishness at its best
lorraine lane who cares. You fool. The minimum wage tax payers care. Britishness at its best was diana, who was treated like dirt by the royals.
@@thomasweldon8333 oh no not another Diana fanatic
I couldn't care less about diana. At least no more than than charles. As for being a fanatic. Take a look at yourself. Who cares you say. Britishness at its best. Do you know how much the royals wanted the public to pay after the last fire they had in there big fine palace. And in your reply tell me how many British are living homeless. Please since im such a blind fanatic?
@@thomasweldon8333 I like the queen and some senior royals ,but not all the hangers on,so I am not a fanatic,, the they do bring a lot of money into the country ,and yes i do love my country , nothing wrong with that
Pitched in at the end reluctantly.. more like pitched in when the wr was going good just like WW1 and WW2 smh...
For a second there I thought the thumbnail photo was a bunch of klan hoods...
He was hawking soap on tv.
Reagan is like a way less obnoxious version of Trump, they even look similar
Love you President Reagan
i love nancy's dress n night gown..
Ooh
Where'd all that gold come from? How was it acquired.
Charles is always fiddling with his cuff links or tie. Stop it.
Hogwarts
Let the taxpayers pay for that
The best president and the best monarch in west
so disgusting. I mean, sure, I would love some nice wine from those royal goblets. A banquet like this would be great but measuring everything wiht a ruler??? would it be really so intolerable if a spoon-fork distance were a bit off? like those super, many Michelin star restaurants where they spend a minute or so to set the pefect angle of some decoration leaves on a plate
the thumbnail looks like a klan rally
Who the feck is between Philip and Charles? It's not Diana nor Queeny. Wait, Nancy!
Although i love seeing fine art and workmanship . Nice food, good wines You have to pray you get amenable intelligent, people to sit next to . And sit through boring speeches .. Rather go to museum's and Galleries . And make food for chosen friend 's to dine at my home. Good wine we had; my sons godfather was owner of Chateau Margaux.
haha
The Queen did nothing.......it was all done for her
Yes
She’s a Queen
How about telling us about the Royal Family's crimes instead of this nonsense? Maybe they could spend a little less on banquets while people starve in the UK? Or pay back some of the wealthy they robbed from countries around the world that have been starving?
Nice to all the stolen and plundered wealth put into good use.
Nothing against the Queen or anyone..we all have already lived past the history. But it's sometimes the sheer arrogance that the Queen or for that matter Monarchy in general, imposes that bothers. After all they are just humans. They were simply 'born' and they just inherit everything and suddenly become more than human (Megan Merkel's dad being not invited to his own daughter's Royal wedding is a very simple trivial example). Any Monarchy simply taxed it's own people, plundered other countries, Run their own business with the public money, and Gave back to the people not even a fraction of what they rightly own, While they themselves lived in far excessive opulence. Literally, they did it for their own comfort more than for anything else. Think how did it the poorest man of the kingdom lived, who was also taxed? Sadly hero worship is a dangerous thing and simply can pull a cover over all the ills, even if it is at our own expenses
A better or equal example would be in middle east where the Sultan or King is spending Billions on Yatchs, God knows how many luxury cars, Paintings, Gold toilet, private jets decorated in gold, owing all major companies and not allowing competition to grow.. While on another side he apparently tries to 'Save the economy' and people's job and wants to introduce Taxation to sustain the economy.! Who made them the king? Judging by the nature of humanity, i really do not think Human beings are so generous that they allowed one person to be the king so that, that person can live in all the luxury? Seriously, are we that generous??
This is is poorly scripted. Nobody calls employees 'servants', they are described as staff. See another video where the Master of the Household to Queen Elizabeth II says that at state banquets there are about 80 staff members taking care of the guests. Not 500. Most of the castle employees had nothing to do with this dinner. The total number of staff includes experts taking care of one of the largest private art collections on earth including the huge collection of antique clocks, furniture etc, the forestry team, the gardeners, the people taking care of the horses and those with the cows at the Windsor Dairy..and so many others.
That must have been a big order for Mcdonalds but I'm sure nonetheless great value for money. Our wonderful Royal family in action shouldn't we feel proud of these parasites.
GERRY ROBBERTSON uh, what?
GERRY ROBBERTSON power breeds jealousy. :)
This is truly wrong. So disgusting 😧
Charlie Stephenson No it's posh and very elegant.
Gideon Debateau elegant is good, posh is pretenious.
Katie Bayliss
What do you think the President is? Posh would be a damn compliment lol
first
OK, but now ya' gotta stay an' clean up afterwards...!☺
At around 2:30 ole Charlie looks totally pissed off
I bet he will be even more pissed of when trump comes
