That’s why they are fat and have a hard time walking. I lost my dachshund due to back problems and being overweight. They have the sweetest, saddest puppy dog eyes. But, he had to be put down at least five years too early. He couldn’t walk anymore because he lost all nerves in his back legs due to his back and would 💩 all over himself. To get around, he hopped like a bunny. It broke my heart. He was my little sidekick. We never spent one night apart. He was of complete sound and mind. He just couldn’t get around anymore. Those Corgy’s were bigger than mine. I always feel bad now when I see it. It’s so hard on their backs. My vet told me one slice of cheese to them is the equivalent of three cheeseburgers for humans. We just don’t think because we love them so much. But, if we want them as long as possible, we can’t give them human food or at least only a certain amount of calories. I miss him so much and he was put down nearly 10 years ago. He changed my life - for the better. RIP Rusty and Queen Elizabeth II.
I think she is happier now she has taken the crown off her head a fell asleep forever as she was very sad after her beloved husband Prince Phillip passed.
🙄 Your dad vacuumed?! My mother would make me get up and vacuum even if I had an asthma attack, but I was born in 1961. Kids today would call the police if their parents made them do with my parents made me do.

I'm an American, but her death is surreal to me. She was Queen for 8 years when I was born. I've never known any other Queen. The Queen Mother stayed out of the limelight and tabloids, so Elizabeth II was all I knew for 62 years. When I saw the break in on television I sat dumbfounded and staring for a very long time. A stunning it was. I still feel moments of it being not true. I can only imagine how it feels for the citizens of England. ☹️ Big changes coming perhaps?
I read that! A question was asked about if that were true and it was and that was the reason. But sheesh, imagine the weight of that thing with the jewels and materials. No wonder they didn't wear them all day everyday. In fact, when are the occasions that the crown is donned?
My uncle was offered a job at Buckingham palace. It was bookeeping and would have meant he would have to live in. He turned it down as he would have been too far away from his family. The residential school my disabled son used to be in the staff were allowed to bring they're well behaved dog's into work. The children loved taking them for a walk. My son used to have a fear of dog's. But being around them helped him be less fearful. Though he still won't stroke a dog he at least will walk past one that's on a lead. As long as they're not running up expecting attention or barking then he's ok.
A footman/valet, wrote about the toothpaste incident. His valet would put things out for him, since Charles’ day would usually be packed full. So he would get his toothbrush ready. One morning he put the toothbrush on the wrong side of the sink. Charles then wrote a memo, teasing him about it. Later on, I read about it in another book, where the author used the incident to imply Charles wrote an “angry” memo to his valet. But others have said also, that the Royals suitcases and luggage are packed by the valets. The royals have no idea how to pack a suitcase.
Funny, as from what I heard, Charles needed help putting toothpaste on his toothbrush after he broke his arm playing polo. The certain footman who would help him used to get mocked by other staff because of his loyalty to the now King. The royals not having a clue how to pack a suitcase is quite an assumption too, since I’ve seen footage of the late Queen ironing and packing her clothes when travelling on the royal train…
These rules are similar everywhere in the world. Even in Africa we still have chiefs, kings working in hand in hand with modern governments. If one visited the homes of these chiefs, certain rules have to be followed. They have workers in their palaces that attend to their needs. The chiefs and other traditional rulers are the custodians of our culture.
This is why I think it so important for young royals to go to boarding schools and into the armed services where they learn and are expected to do ordinary tasks (laundry, bed-making, basic cooking) for themselves. It grounds them.
I was fortunate to work in the Royal Household in the 1980's. Hardest job I've ever done (kitchen porter) but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. RIP my beloved Queen 😢🇬🇧
On several of these videos, you see the Queen (with her crown on the table in front of her) saying that you have to read the speech holding it up, you can’t look down at it. It sounds like she is making a petty rule. Well, if we saw the REST of the video, we would see that she is talking about when she has the crown on her head, it is so heavy, it would “break her neck” if she looked down to read her speech!😆👍❤️
Yes please. I would consider it quite an honor to serve the Monarch . But since I am an American there’s no chance of me doing that in the near future😂. I miss seeing & hearing HMQEII & PP so very much. I miss seeing her beautiful smile, bright eyes, colorful ensembles with delightful hats. She meant so much to so many because of her dedication, compassion and commitment to serve the British people and Commonwealth. ❤️RIP Your Majesties🙏🏼❤️

Saying that HM The Queen hates garlic is absolute nonsense, she asks for it not to be served out of consideration to those she is meeting. No garlic breath.
She did live through the war and the rationing. I didn't but my parents and grandparents did so I rarely waste food. Now that's not to say that occasionally I buy fresh vegetables and before I can use them they go bad. But when I do my menu at the beginning of the week I put things in the order that I think they may go bad or expire. So we waste as little as possible. Throwing out leftovers almost never happened! Today's main dish, becomes tomorrow's side dish if there's anything left. Or it becomes lunch. In today's economy who can afford to waste anything?!
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Windsor. The Queen has no surname nor do any of the working Royal Family. Know your etiquette. We hardly demoted her on her passing.
Fun fact about the Norland Nannies, they don’t just care for the royal children, they work all over the world for very wealthy families/ high profile families.
Well some of the rules that seem odd to us have been put into place over the years to remedy some kind of issue or problem. We may never know exactly “why” the Royal Family insists on certain things being done as they are! 🤷🏼♀️. I bet the Queen (or someone) has gotten their fingers bit feeding carrots to the horses and in order to avoid that happening again it was just so decided that whoever prepared them must be aware of what worked. No big deal, not pompous at all! And most equestrians peel carrots before feeding them to horses because their stomachs can be fickle and easily upset which is deadly for a horse!
May God bless you and your family and soul rest in peace I am sorry for your love when we lost our parents we always celebrated celebrate their birthday good weekend and everything just to let him know that they still here with us I pray for all your families and God bless her keep your head up and still keep that smile on your face and always remember her the good times when she was here God bless you guys much 💕
May God bless you and thank you I wish I could have met her but she was a beautiful woman we always celebrate my mom her dad she died November 21st and let me tell you it's an honor and she passed away at home if no one understands what it looks like seeing your parent pass away and home why her body always remember never forget about your mom never celebrate her birthday celebrate everything and we do that for the simple reason is she died at home and we took care of her but she took care of us so please don't forget about tomorrow always celebrate her birthday may God bless you guys and thank you guys once again I
Putting the toothpaste on his toothbrush for him, makes Prince Charles sound so pampered, or downright lazy. It just shows that most of the royals have no clue about how ‘ordinary people’ live their lives.
Her Majesty was a member of the "great depression" generation, as well as the rationing in WW2, it's very normal of that generation to be very thrifty of food and get the last possible bite from it.
None of it seems surprising, but King Charles not having to (or wanting to) lift a finger to do anything is kind of pathetic. Wonder if someone has to help clean him up after a BM.
Sound like the movie 'Coming to America' where Eddie Murphy asks the butler if he can use the toilet by himself. Butler: HA HA HA HA! (CLAP, CLAP) WIPER!
I was impressed With fact Queen Elizabeth didn't believe in wasting food. Perhaps because she was young during bombing of London in WW II. Will King Charles follow suit?
Years ago prince Charles was thrown from a polo pony & injured his shoulder. That was the only time his toothpaste was pre-squeezed on his toothbrush. But yeah, the rest of the time he's a pampered snob.😂
No way! That would be a job I'd pass on. I would mess something up for sure, completely because I'd be so afraid I would! 🤭 That's a lot to keep straight, but it does appear that there was one person for all those jobs, so maybe it would be a piece of cake? So those people behind the scenes, imagine for one minute or two, if for some reason they were all incapacitated for a day. How would the royals have fared? I reckon chaos, 🤭 mayhem, and confusion. I'd feel so bad I'd have to try and help out in some way. If I were a secretary for someone in the castle I'd just have to jump in. I simply couldn't let them flounder. We Americans know nothing of a proper protocol of an entity, (yeah never mind the presidency, meh that's easy). I find this list fascinating. I also have a feeling the royals have a bigger sense of humor than any of us know. I bet they do 😁 They'd have to... Any Queen would have to have a funny streak if she has an adoration for two of the funniest looking dogs, Corgis & Dorgis 😅
@@LarcR I’m sorry, but your comment made me think of Akeem in Coming To America where the staff brush his teeth & rub his throat while he gargles. And I thought that was just an exaggeration. Lol.
@@mntns2014 lmao! I was just thinking of that exact movie and scene! I originally thought it was an exaggeration as well! 😁 ... I guess the Royal staff stands there while he brushes his teeth also. Surprised they don't bathe him as well, like on Coming To America. Lol. ..Your royal hiney is clean Your Majesty... 🤭😄
6:44 Really, having someone else squeeze the toothpaste onto your toothbrush for you seems like a lot more of a hassle than simply doing it yourself (aside from being absurdly privileged). _Edit:_ Actually, it seems more infantilized than it does privileged, really. But it‘s all about the _display_ of privilege, isn’t it? “I don’t even have to squeeze my own _toothpaste,_ do I?” It’s downright embarrassing.
@@beccablueeyes99 I dunno. Did Queen Elizabeth have her toothpaste squeezed for her? I thought it might be something you do for a four-year old that King Charles never outgrew. (Does he tie his own shoelaces? That’s a serious question.)
@@Jack_Russell_Brown Well, of course. Who among us hasn’t been _mortified_ at the sight of someone’s rumpled shoelaces? “I would think that means the laces are, at least, threaded into his shoes.” Oh, they’d have to be. (That’s something I wouldn’t mind having someone else do for me. if my shoes were being unlaced on a routine basis.)
well when i was watching the funeral. the staff of windsor and Buckingham were lined up outside of the palaces and some were just fighting the tears and they all bowed their heads or crusty when her coffin went past.
@@beccablueeyes99 or they have to lie to make themselves feel better because if they truly believed in climate change then they would stop using private planes and yachts multiple times a year while owning exactly how many mansions? And let's not forget his association with Jimmy Saville and Jeffery epstien which is reason enough not to like Charles or Andy, the queen should of skipped Charles in favor of William because he at least knows how to keep his mouth shut
Rather your a Butler or Maid , You learn and know on day ONE that it's the most important thing you must do is to be in the background , To the extent that one should intespate when it's time too refill their glass of tea or wine , or food. Then fall into the background !
@@glen9303I broke my arm while staying alone at a resort and had to ask the staff for so much help! From the kitchen cutting my food to housekeeping helping with sunscreen and tying my hair up. Never mind the manager that drove me to the ER and picked up my painkillers. Thank goodness I had a few days to figure things out before I went home and was mostly on my own. What a luxury it would have been to have staff at home too 😂
The Head of Household wouldn't let you touch anything, and, newbies wouldn't see The Monarch, but from afar, as only long term and trusted staff would be serving directly.
Going to be worse with Charles. Known only privilege all his life. wouldn't change my life for his. like my independents to much. No wonder he gets grumpy.
The Queen didn’t like food waste because she lived through the hardship of food shortages and rations during the world wars. She might not have suffered that personally, but I’m sure it made her value basic necessities like food more, in comparison to my generation of millennials, who’ve never experienced something like that and yet somehow find something to complain about in every little thing. 😅
The royal family had their own ration cards during the war and got just the same amount of food as every other family of the same size. All the food produced on the home farms in their estates was also given in accordance of the laws. The last thing King George would have wanted was to have been seen feasting when the rest of the country was going without.
They didn’t think they needed to have members of the family sign the ‘Confidentiality Agreement’ - hence Prince Harry was able to go on the rampage in a truck load of bean spilling that can never be cleaned up.
I always thought royalty should be done with after watching this I now think it should be gone asap having to pander to their every whim as for the dogs British people starving on the streets and they get fed like that it’s a joke
What do you mean by ' elborating ' ? Elaborating means make bigger, more fancy, making something better than it is. The Queen always poured her breakfast cereal herself - photos show this. I doubt very much the dogs were allowed in the kitchens. Prince Charles only had someone to squeeze his toothpaste when he broke his arm and had surgery on. Your mistakes are appalling.
So explain to us. how you manage to get this information about the royal family. If this meant to secret. unless you are just trying post something that doesn't make sense at all
The part about Charles having his buttons done and shoe laces ironed is over the top. Who really notices the shoes? And squeezing toothpaste really isn’t that hard. Lol.
I agree that some of the things aren't so bad. But ironing shoelaces, squeezing the toothpaste for him, etc. is just too much. Is it pampered or just lazy. He really could do those things for himself with not having to exert himself too much. I would be embarrassed if someone found those things out about me.
Look Charles not having to lift a finger isn’t entirely true. He may have his stuff laid out for him but he is incredibly hard working& does not have baby soft hands. He works hard outside. He does all the woven fencing on his property (weaving sharp spiny sticks to do the hedge boundaries), he does gardening, he tries out many different things. As well as all his royal duties.
I was very fortunate to be asked to apply for a position at the palace, and was offered the job, back in 2015. sadly my step father passed away right at the same time, and I was not able to start due to supporting my family... However, some of the things highlighted in the video, which I got to see, are just a well organised and efficient way of doing things. Yes, some of the things highlighted for King Charles may seem like he is pampered, and on some fronts that may be correct, but laying out of an outfit for the day is just basic valet skills. The tea tray maps, even I do that now in my current position, and is something used widely across private service. Also, the 118 staff bedrooms, the majority are not in the palace, at least not the main building, they are in a separate set of buildings away from main building its self. And, the swimming pool highlighted as an amenity really isn't for staff, although maybe they get to use it on occasion, not sure.
That, and having one of the staff climb 3 flights of stairs to close his curtains which were only feet away from him. I do hope that the king doesn’t cave in and let that oaf Andrew back into royal life again.
From experience, the life of having all this done for you races on very fast. It's over before you know it. It's very true that you never know what you had till it's gone. I lived an amazing Military life for years, didn;t know what i had then due to my youth. Do i miss it now? No but i could have appreciated it more. The Royals have their nonsence for all their life and don't ever know what they have or the real world around them. Shame really. All of us live around 100 years Max no matter who you are so it's all Crap that one person is better than another. It's what you do in that time that counts. Stevie in Scotland.
He also has his shoelaces ironed and pajamas ironed as well, his staff buttons up his shirt also. I don’t understand how someone who can’t do anything for themselves can be king.
There are lots of people that have incredible achievements that couldn't do certain things. Beethoven composed some of his most famous music after he became deaf. Besides, he doesn't actually rule. The English monarchy draw attention to charities, offer support to official engagements --like visit schools and military units, newly opened hospital and charity headquarters--, show a united front to all the countries in the commonwealth. They are there to strength national unity and offer stability. The only important ruling tasks they do are appoint the prime minister's, approve new laws, receive foreign dignitaries and preside over certain parliamentary events. Oh, and they can also declare war. In the end, the British Monarchy is a stalwart standing fast to offer support and comfort. Enduring for centuries and still standing. Also only costs each British person £1.25 a year to financially support the family.
I see the sense in a shirt being buttoned. I do up several buttons on my shirts after ironing and my daughter's school shirts, because I quite often mis-align them and have to un-do and re-do, wasting time. This sort of thing may seem odd but King Charles always looks impeccably dressed. Everything in the Royal Household is done to the highest standard possible - it has to be right.
@bellestar5960 ... I don't wear pyjamas now and haven't done for years, but my mum always ironed my pyjamas and my dad's. After I left home I ironed my own pyjamas too., it's nothing out of the ordinary for me, if I wore them now, I would iron them.
While I liked Elizabeth, as an anti-monarchist, I could not imagine working on the staff. I would probably not want to work on the President's household staff. If asked by any President I would be honored to serve my country, even if I didn't agree with the President's policies.
I wouldn’t like to live in a house with staff. I want home to be my space wear I can wear sloppy clothes and just be private. There are times I just don’t want to be around other people
Actually, His Majesty The King, Charles III, when still The Prince of Wales, asked Rowan Atkinson ('Mr Bean') if he would be His 'court jester' but he turned that honour down, the stupid pompous prig! Atkinson knew His Majesty, back in those days. Then he tried playing a super 007 character, everyone expected a Mr Bean 007, which would have been hilarious, instead, he played the role mostly straight, which made him, the performer, look ridiculous and pathetic, not funny! So, if you can crack people up, off the cuff, without being offensive, give it a go! Send a tape of your best five minute performance to The Private Secretary of His Majesty King Charles III, C/- Buckingham Palace
I could not live like this - and by “this” I mean the royals. No way I could totally ignore the people who work for me. I can’t go to a restaurant and not smile at the servers and tell them tank you. As for putting the toothpaste on someone else’s toothbrush….. words fail me.
I love that the dogs have their own menu. Well fed dogs! Then again, my cat gets the same food, but not as often! 😂
I agree with number 2. We apply the same rule. No Dyson/noise before 10 am. 🤣

She did live through the war and the rationing. I didn't but my parents and grandparents did so I rarely waste food. Now that's not to say that occasionally I buy fresh vegetables and before I can use them they go bad. But when I do my menu at the beginning of the week I put things in the order that I think they may go bad or expire. So we waste as little as possible.
Throwing out leftovers almost never happened! Today's main dish, becomes tomorrow's side dish if there's anything left. Or it becomes lunch. In today's economy who can afford to waste anything?!
Are you kidding? Wasting food that has risen 50 per cent within the last year? You must be both wealthy & foolish.
@@forreal245 NO, you're just too young to really understand.
Elizabeth Windsor will be remembered in all good ways
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Windsor. The Queen has no surname nor do any of the working Royal Family. Know your etiquette. We hardly demoted her on her passing.
Fun fact about the Norland Nannies, they don’t just care for the royal children, they work all over the world for very wealthy families/ high profile families.
Well some of the rules that seem odd to us have been put into place over the years to remedy some kind of issue or problem. We may never know exactly “why” the Royal Family insists on certain things being done as they are! 🤷🏼♀️. I bet the Queen (or someone) has gotten their fingers bit feeding carrots to the horses and in order to avoid that happening again it was just so decided that whoever prepared them must be aware of what worked. No big deal, not pompous at all! And most equestrians peel carrots before feeding them to horses because their stomachs can be fickle and easily upset which is deadly for a horse!
Also, you should never feed a horse a large piece of carrot - they CAN choke on it!
These dogs don’t eat can foods but people do in that country haha 😛
May God bless you and your family and soul rest in peace I am sorry for your love when we lost our parents we always celebrated celebrate their birthday good weekend and everything just to let him know that they still here with us I pray for all your families and God bless her keep your head up and still keep that smile on your face and always remember her the good times when she was here God bless you guys much 💕

Yes i will work at palice under the rules
Queen Elizabeth II will be remembered and never forgot we will love our wonderful past Queen
The irony of confidentiality agreements - the photo at 2:05 is from the Ryan Parry "fake footman" scandal in 2003.
Putting the toothpaste on his toothbrush for him, makes Prince Charles sound so pampered, or downright lazy. It just shows that most of the royals have no clue about how ‘ordinary people’ live their lives.
I saw a doc on him & it said he won't even pick up a towel. He is hopelessly spoiled.
@@forreal245 Can you send me the doc, if you have it? Just for curiosity
I have heard that some of those allegations have been proved false.
And he is the King now… god bless UK now… Can’t wait for William to be the king
Yeah he was reportedly chastising staff for not clearing his desk. “I can’t be expected to clear my own desk”.
Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth you will be missed
ridiculous. why are they lording over humans again? humans are all equal, remember?
Agree. There is one God. You do not worship another human being
That is why this "royal" stuff in this world are nonsense!!! they are just man made stuff starting in the ancient world
Praise the Lord King Jehovah
Its alot of bull shit I'm hearing!!!, you never worship another human being!! Never!!, unless it's our God almighty himself!! One who made us!!!
@@debbieknox860 praise God
Her Majesty was a member of the "great depression" generation, as well as the rationing in WW2, it's very normal of that generation to be very thrifty of food and get the last possible bite from it.
Yeah, that's why she lived on the same any other pensioner would have lived on.
Now King Charles the Third can have garlic! Let them eat garlic!
None of it seems surprising, but King Charles not having to (or wanting to) lift a finger to do anything is kind of pathetic. Wonder if someone has to help clean him up after a BM.
Not actually true though, towel, tooth brush etc
Sound like the movie 'Coming to America' where Eddie Murphy asks the butler if he can use the toilet by himself.
Butler: HA HA HA HA! (CLAP, CLAP) WIPER!
Jeff Morse There's a servant called "Royal Groom of the Stool.' Guess what job that is!
@@dianalindeman1644 Ewwwww! Yechhhhh!
Garlic's back on the menu! A shame Prince Philip can't take advantage of that...
It is? Is Prince Charles a fan?
@@candicabral3767 I was just kidding. I have no idea whether he's a fan or not, nor whether he's canceled his mother's ban on garlic.
Omg I love garlic!
@@candicabral3767 King Charles*
No thanks…I prefer my life!
I was impressed With fact Queen Elizabeth didn't believe in wasting food. Perhaps because she was young during bombing of London in WW II. Will King Charles follow suit?
Rip queen Elizabeth we will miss you
Years ago prince Charles was thrown from a polo pony & injured his shoulder. That was the only time his toothpaste was pre-squeezed on his toothbrush. But yeah, the rest of the time he's a pampered snob.😂
No way! That would be a job I'd pass on. I would mess something up for sure, completely because I'd be so afraid I would!
🤭
That's a lot to keep straight, but it does appear that there was one person for all those jobs, so maybe it would be a piece of cake?
So those people behind the scenes, imagine for one minute or two, if for some reason they were all incapacitated for a day. How would the royals have fared? I reckon chaos, 🤭 mayhem, and confusion.
I'd feel so bad I'd have to try and help out in some way. If I were a secretary for someone in the castle I'd just have to jump in. I simply couldn't let them flounder.
We Americans know nothing of a proper protocol of an entity, (yeah never mind the presidency, meh that's easy). I find this list fascinating.
I also have a feeling the royals have a bigger sense of humor than any of us know. I bet they do 😁
They'd have to... Any Queen would have to have a funny streak if she has an adoration for two of the funniest looking dogs, Corgis & Dorgis 😅
It sounds like both the royal corgis and Charles were spoiled rotten. Even a child can squirt their own toothpaste onto a toothbrush.
Makes me wonder what else Charles is unable to do for himself in the bathroom.
@@LarcR
LOL.
@@LarcR I’m sorry, but your comment made me think of Akeem in Coming To America where the staff brush his teeth & rub his throat while he gargles. And I thought that was just an exaggeration. Lol.
@@mntns2014 lmao! I was just thinking of that exact movie and scene! I originally thought it was an exaggeration as well! 😁 ... I guess the Royal staff stands there while he brushes his teeth also. Surprised they don't bathe him as well, like on Coming To America. Lol. ..Your royal hiney is clean Your Majesty... 🤭😄
@@LarcR Ha ha... lol...😆
The dogs eat better than I do
6:44 Really, having someone else squeeze the toothpaste onto your toothbrush for you seems like a lot more of a hassle than simply doing it yourself (aside from being absurdly privileged).
_Edit:_ Actually, it seems more infantilized than it does privileged, really. But it‘s all about the _display_ of privilege, isn’t it? “I don’t even have to squeeze my own _toothpaste,_ do I?” It’s downright embarrassing.
I wonder if it was more from tradition that anything else. Like it was originally to check for Poison, choking, monitoring dental health, etc.
And he's now our king we are all f..ked lol
@@beccablueeyes99 I dunno. Did Queen Elizabeth have her toothpaste squeezed for her? I thought it might be something you do for a four-year old that King Charles never outgrew. (Does he tie his own shoelaces? That’s a serious question.)
@@Jack_Russell_Brown Well, of course. Who among us hasn’t been _mortified_ at the sight of someone’s rumpled shoelaces?
“I would think that means the laces are, at least, threaded into his shoes.” Oh, they’d have to be. (That’s something I wouldn’t mind having someone else do for me. if my shoes were being unlaced on a routine basis.)
@@jeff__w 😂😂😂😂😅
The fact that our new “king” doesn’t even squirt his own toothpaste is shocking 😒
They are going to miss her 😢 😔 💔
well when i was watching the funeral. the staff of windsor and Buckingham were lined up outside of the palaces and some were just fighting the tears and they all bowed their heads or crusty when her coffin went past.
Gotta love someone who literally doesn't do anything for himself has such a concern about climate change lol
Maybe when you don't have to think about everyday things, you have more time to devote to bigger ideas and concepts.
@@beccablueeyes99 or they have to lie to make themselves feel better because if they truly believed in climate change then they would stop using private planes and yachts multiple times a year while owning exactly how many mansions? And let's not forget his association with Jimmy Saville and Jeffery epstien which is reason enough not to like Charles or Andy, the queen should of skipped Charles in favor of William because he at least knows how to keep his mouth shut
Love how you used the offical portrait of her Majesty as Queen of New Zealand and wearing her New Zealand honours.
Rather your a Butler or Maid , You learn and know on day ONE that it's the most important thing you must do is to be in the background , To the extent that one should intespate when it's time too refill their glass of tea or wine , or food. Then fall into the background !
Oh I would love to work at Buckingham Palace
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
My family rarely throw away leftovers. Goes in a bowl or tub in the fridge to have the next day.
I think that's what many people do. Except many Americans who throw it all out into the trash.
Same here if we can’t finish it we just throw it in a tub and throw it in the fridge
The only time toothpaste was dispensed for Prince, now King Charles was when he had a broken arm years ago. Get your facts straight.
How would anyone know that anyway being the fact that staff is not supposed to talk about RF's personal matters?
Ok now that sounds better
I've had a broken arm and I managed
@@glen9303I broke my arm while staying alone at a resort and had to ask the staff for so much help! From the kitchen cutting my food to housekeeping helping with sunscreen and tying my hair up. Never mind the manager that drove me to the ER and picked up my painkillers.
Thank goodness I had a few days to figure things out before I went home and was mostly on my own. What a luxury it would have been to have staff at home too 😂
Yeah... if she didn't like garlic then I see where unseasoned chicken came from...
I couldn't work for the royal family. I'd be too scared/nervous to touch anything!
I wouldn’t work for the royals. I suppose it don’t line up with my life’s mission. It’s other ways to serve humanity. 🥰
The Head of Household wouldn't let you touch anything, and, newbies wouldn't see The Monarch, but from afar, as only long term and trusted staff would be serving directly.
RIP to the queen but wouldn't want to work for her lol.
Going to be worse with Charles. Known only privilege all his life. wouldn't change my life for his. like my independents to much. No wonder he gets grumpy.
The Queen didn’t like food waste because she lived through the hardship of food shortages and rations during the world wars. She might not have suffered that personally, but I’m sure it made her value basic necessities like food more, in comparison to my generation of millennials, who’ve never experienced something like that and yet somehow find something to complain about in every little thing. 😅
The royal family had their own ration cards during the war and got just the same amount of food as every other family of the same size. All the food produced on the home farms in their estates was also given in accordance of the laws. The last thing King George would have wanted was to have been seen feasting when the rest of the country was going without.
Corgi butler? Sign me up!
Fun fact or idk if it is but queen Elizabeth ll was the oldest living queen to ever live on her throne I think
I think she is. She was 96 at her death and I believe she was 21 when she became the queen.
That sounds about right
@@gigitonsvajv She was 25. Just letting you know.
Yes, the second longest is Queen Victoria I think she reign 63 years. Queen Elizabeth II reign for 70 years.
8:12 Love the shade thrown at Prince Andrew there, considering he is no longer (and never will be) a working royal.
Queen Elizabeth lived and aged gracefully now her time ended, I write this and I am sad, she will forever be missed may god bless. ❤
Number 2., 6. and 14. are very good. :)
A royal stirred tea in a circle. How uncouth!
They didn’t think they needed to have members of the family sign the ‘Confidentiality Agreement’ - hence Prince Harry was able to go on the rampage in a truck load of bean spilling that can never be cleaned up.
You are a very good videographer.🤩❤
King Charles and Queen Camilla raise Jack Russell Terriers. No doubt they get their own menu too!
Aww did you see the corgi bow at 3:54
I always thought royalty should be done with after watching this I now think it should be gone asap having to pander to their every whim as for the dogs British people starving on the streets and they get fed like that it’s a joke
Hear hear!!
What do you mean by ' elborating ' ? Elaborating means make bigger, more fancy, making something better than it is.
The Queen always poured her breakfast cereal herself - photos show this.
I doubt very much the dogs were allowed in the kitchens.
Prince Charles only had someone to squeeze his toothpaste when he broke his arm and had surgery on.
Your mistakes are appalling.
Those are super nannies.
Yeah they are. 😂 They’re like ninjas in a dress pushing a baby buggy.
The most depressing place to work , don't do it. Senior managers are so out of touch with real employees
So explain to us. how you manage to get this information about the royal family. If this meant to secret. unless you are just trying post something that doesn't make sense at all
This is ridiculous! Nobody should have special privileges just for being born. I am glad we don’t have a royal family.
I love the music at 3:24
With so many people malnourished or actually hungry yet the dogs are too good for dog food.
Elaborated…….Must try it.
The part about Charles having his buttons done and shoe laces ironed is over the top. Who really notices the shoes? And squeezing toothpaste really isn’t that hard. Lol.
I agree that some of the things aren't so bad. But ironing shoelaces, squeezing the toothpaste for him, etc. is just too much. Is it pampered or just lazy. He really could do those things for himself with not having to exert himself too much. I would be embarrassed if someone found those things out about me.
Misinformation
No!!! Prince Charles and his siblings are spoiled and very much intitled and selfish!!!!
I wouldn't last a day. I am far to noisy. Guess I would have ended up in the dungeon
I would love to work there
Look Charles not having to lift a finger isn’t entirely true. He may have his stuff laid out for him but he is incredibly hard working& does not have baby soft hands. He works hard outside. He does all the woven fencing on his property (weaving sharp spiny sticks to do the hedge boundaries), he does gardening, he tries out many different things. As well as all his royal duties.
you have links to the video of this??
SHE WAS THE BOSS. God save the Queen, LONG LIVE THE KING
When these people are being catered to do they ever say thank you? Are they allowed to?
I was very fortunate to be asked to apply for a position at the palace, and was offered the job, back in 2015. sadly my step father passed away right at the same time, and I was not able to start due to supporting my family... However, some of the things highlighted in the video, which I got to see, are just a well organised and efficient way of doing things. Yes, some of the things highlighted for King Charles may seem like he is pampered, and on some fronts that may be correct, but laying out of an outfit for the day is just basic valet skills. The tea tray maps, even I do that now in my current position, and is something used widely across private service. Also, the 118 staff bedrooms, the majority are not in the palace, at least not the main building, they are in a separate set of buildings away from main building its self. And, the swimming pool highlighted as an amenity really isn't for staff, although maybe they get to use it on occasion, not sure.
how about High Tech Teddy Bear Arranging?, heard it's high on Agendas!.
That, and having one of the staff climb 3 flights of stairs to close his curtains which were only feet away from him. I do hope that the king doesn’t cave in and let that oaf Andrew back into royal life again.
I don't think any of the royals do anything domestic for themselves! They do have busy schedules, though. 🇬🇧
How did Prince Charles manage when he was in the navy?
Are you a recruiter of the palace staff that audience have to tell you if like to have a job at the palace?.🤔🤣😂😆🤪
Help came here before five minutes
I mean hello
Crazy ! 😄 Lousy jobs !
From experience, the life of having all this done for you races on very fast. It's over before you know it. It's very true that you never know what you had till it's gone. I lived an amazing Military life for years, didn;t know what i had then due to my youth.
Do i miss it now? No but i could have appreciated it more. The Royals have their nonsence for all their life and don't ever know what they have or the real world around them. Shame really.
All of us live around 100 years Max no matter who you are so it's all Crap that one person is better than another.
It's what you do in that time that counts.
Stevie in Scotland.
He also has his shoelaces ironed and pajamas ironed as well, his staff buttons up his shirt also. I don’t understand how someone who can’t do anything for themselves can be king.
There are lots of people that have incredible achievements that couldn't do certain things. Beethoven composed some of his most famous music after he became deaf. Besides, he doesn't actually rule. The English monarchy draw attention to charities, offer support to official engagements --like visit schools and military units, newly opened hospital and charity headquarters--, show a united front to all the countries in the commonwealth. They are there to strength national unity and offer stability. The only important ruling tasks they do are appoint the prime minister's, approve new laws, receive foreign dignitaries and preside over certain parliamentary events. Oh, and they can also declare war. In the end, the British Monarchy is a stalwart standing fast to offer support and comfort. Enduring for centuries and still standing. Also only costs each British person £1.25 a year to financially support the family.
I see the sense in a shirt being buttoned. I do up several buttons on my shirts after ironing and my daughter's school shirts, because I quite often mis-align them and have to un-do and re-do, wasting time. This sort of thing may seem odd but King Charles always looks impeccably dressed. Everything in the Royal Household is done to the highest standard possible - it has to be right.
A couple of hundred years ago one of the most sort after jobs in the Royal Household was "Wiper of the Kings Bottom"
No he doesn't have his shoelaces ironed that's from a former butler
@bellestar5960 ... I don't wear pyjamas now and haven't done for years, but my mum always ironed my pyjamas and my dad's. After I left home I ironed my own pyjamas too., it's nothing out of the ordinary for me, if I wore them now, I would iron them.
It's time the silent vacuum cleaner was invented.
While I liked Elizabeth, as an anti-monarchist, I could not imagine working on the staff. I would probably not want to work on the President's household staff. If asked by any President I would be honored to serve my country, even if I didn't agree with the President's policies.
I wonder if there food gets secretly spit in
I wouldn’t like to live in a house with staff. I want home to be my space wear I can wear sloppy clothes and just be private. There are times I just don’t want to be around other people
I know the royals probably don't need a Jester anymore but I'd be willing to become the Royal Memelord or Shitposter. Just putting myself out there.
Actually, His Majesty The King, Charles III, when still The Prince of Wales, asked Rowan Atkinson ('Mr Bean') if he would be His 'court jester' but he turned that honour down, the stupid pompous prig!
Atkinson knew His Majesty, back in those days.
Then he tried playing a super 007 character, everyone expected a Mr Bean 007, which would have been hilarious, instead, he played the role mostly straight, which made him, the performer, look ridiculous and pathetic, not funny!
So, if you can crack people up, off the cuff, without being offensive, give it a go!

I could not live like this - and by “this” I mean the royals. No way I could totally ignore the people who work for me. I can’t go to a restaurant and not smile at the servers and tell them tank you. As for putting the toothpaste on someone else’s toothbrush….. words fail me.
