There are a lot of things we know and accept about the royal family. We know all about the perfect curtsy and the proper Windsor wave. But there are a lot of strange family traditions that most of us just pretend don’t exist. Like, what is the last name of Prince George and Princess Charlotte? And for that matter, did you know that Prince Harry’s name isn’t Harry, and Meghan Markle’s name isn’t Meghan? There are rules that affect every action of the royal family’s life, including what they need to pack when they travel. Everyone needs to bring a change of black clothes, but only the Queen makes sure to bring a slice of cake with her. You know there are a lot of rules when it comes to throwing a royal party, but you might have forgotten that the royal family makes an entrance from behind a secret room hidden behind a mirror.

I gotta start taking a piece of cake out with me every time I leave the house too, I think the Queen's onto something there!
Lol, indeed. Who knows how hungry you'll get just waiting around 🍰🍰

I'm just wondering how the queen isn't massively overweight if she eats so much cake!
She's not overweight .She doesn't eat much cake.She doesn't take it out with her.She drinks VERY little alcohol.
Queen Elizabeth was totally trolling the King of Saudi Arabia by forcing him to allow himself to be driven around by her. For that reason alone I think I really like her...
Juliaoceania Same! 🤣
Well, she did something similar to the Obabmas. They had come to Europe for some reason, and found out what day the Queen's REAL birthday is. (The official celebration is always in the summer, but her REAL birthday is in April.)
So Obama calmly invited himself on an unofficial visit; and sent a message to say he and and Michelle were coming, uninvited. He never quite seemed to understand that he might have been the President aka Head of State of the God's Chosen Country the U.S. but this did not give hime quite the same status as a Ruling Monarch of Grrreat Britain. And he is not quite family.
So, having stated that he was coming (from Germany or wherever) he was duly informed that he and Michelle would be picked up at Heathrow.
Sure enough, a military helicopter was despatched to collect them...... with just enough room on board for Barack and Michelle. Of course he had brought his entire entourage with him, and they were all left behind on the tarmac, to twiddle their thumbs, and wonder what to do next.
Their British military escort vehicle flew them to Windsor Great Park where they were met by a Land Rover, driven by Prince Philip. Obama, in his usual bossy way, didn't wait to be asked, but presumed to take charge of who sat where in the Land Rover. The Queen said that she sat in the back. So that was alright.
I cannot find this clip any more- only another one of a different occasion that was a somewhat more formal arrival.
I wonder if the Queen shared her chocolate cake with them, or ate it all herself.
Juliaoceania Same.
MandyJMaddison, In America we do not think of the Queen of England the way you brits do. Queen Elizabeth is no one that important to me, the Obamas are much more important personages in my opinion. Don't take it personal, but your queen isn't a leader in my eyes. She just leads the Church of England, and I am not a Christian, so I am not impressed with her.
Juliaoceana, YOU may not be impressed with her, but the Obamas were. Very.
Luckily for the UK, they have had a Head of State who has been gracious, and behaved in an admirable manner for the last sixty years. She has never embarrassed her country, in the way that so many US presidents have done. And so we say "Long live the Queen!"
The Queen! What a sassy gal. Four cocktails, the cake, and so much more. It's good to be a queen. Love this.
The queen wears all one color so she stands out in a crowd for security reasons FYI
I like that thumbs up,thank you didn't think of that .
That's nice to know that adds to them saying that she loves wearing bright colors.
She does it to stand out, her grandmother always taught her to do that, and the royal wave, do every one knows they're seeing who they came to see.
Smart idea
She just does not want to look like others,
The Queen taking cake everywhere is actually pretty relatable. I wish I could take a slice of cake everywhere.
Harry is traditionally a nickname of Henry in the UK, its not unusual at all.
here in Canada too it is very common to have the name Henry but be called Harry.
The "authors" of this video should have spent more time in "fact-finding" before uploading this video. The result? ...not very good video - too many [false news] ... i.e. comments that indicate ignorance of the commenter and authors!
It is a nickname in the states for Henry, too. My cousin is a Henry everyone calls Harry. I don't know what talkeo is doing making vids if they do not know this, it sounds really ignorant
IT IS?!!! I never knew that lol
"Cry God for Harry, England and Saint George!!!"
(Henry V - Shakespeare)
Note also: Prince Hal.
My father was named Henry - he was known as Harry and as Hal.
The fact that the queen drove ambulances in WWII just scored a lot of cool points.
Why should she be idle, when the whole world was fighting for survival ?
for 5 MINUTES whilst a camera crew set it up.
@@airport4173. You are wrong. You don’t know much about the royal family do you!
@@airport4173Very much incorrect. Yes, there were certain security precautions taken, but She did in fact serve for most of the war.
The fact that Elizabeth II gives her employees her clothes when she’s done with them is honestly genuinely humble and kind hearted ❤️
yeah the lime green hats kinda drippy
Not really, it's like giving peasants cakes.
It's always been the way with nobility.
If that is the case I hope a 18 year old turned that “green screen dress” into a pair of 60’s bell bottoms. 😂
Abd pretty dumb. Hsve never seen her staff out wearing the wealthy yarns!
Gotta give it to the Queen. Driving dignitaries, being a mechanic, being a gracious hostess, establishing mourning attire requirements for trips because her father died when she was on a trip and she did not have mourning attire. She is a strong woman.
It's easy to be "strong" when you've been given everything from birth.
I would think that logic would make one lazy
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Everyone ignores these "weird" things because they're _not that weird_ ... If you were to pick a family at random and poke around into their eccentricities, I'd imagine you'd find far, FAR stranger things.
SmittenKitten ironed shoe laces are a bit strange though....
That is strange, agreed. I don't know if I fully believe it. I know ironing laces was a popular practice in the "olden days," but I doubt it happens these days.
Or what about hiding behind a mirror and popping out late to your own party in your own home? They're fucking creeps. I like it.
Haha stranger things
Sorry I’ll leave
Let them eat cake
LOL “waiting in the closet until it’s time to come out” got me laughing.
Its like actors "waiting in the wings" before their "performance" OR guests on TV chat shows waiting in"the Green Room" before they go on set to banter with the host(s). Royals/Popes/Emperors all did it before show biz was "show biz".
Gary L. Exactly.
There are a few members of the Royal family who seem to be permanently in the closet...
It's relatable
This is by far my favorite!!
How is she still alive? That's what I wanna know. Maybe I should go on a cocktails and chocolate cake diet.
I dunno but Betty white is hanging on too. As well as clint Eastwood, willie Nelson, morgan Freeman. Healthcare is the best it's been in history.
Jared Young she is still alive today 1/1/2020. I heard that Prince Charles can't be the King, never. Why? Just curious.
Now that sounds like a plan. I even like her choice of booze :)
My great aunts are older than the queen, still drive and are sharper than anyone.
She's the same age as my mother-in-law. Still alive and living at home.
I have read so much about her, I totally admire her work , she cares about her people! She really does!!!! I salute her.
I'm with the queen about chocolate cake at least.
Diana Ward n
Same
Brings another meaning to "having your cake and eating it too"
There is far more weird things going on in this family i can assure you.
William P bb
You are so right William p .
I'd love to be a fly on the wall lol. Can you just imagine?
theres a psychic element as well. A book about that, interesting. In wealthy families, etc, you get a lot of skeletons in the cupboard, its amazing but true, there always have been a lot of eccentricities and cover ups, seems to go together.
Its only a matter of time she shock inter world. The quuen think she above all mankind. Im so looking forward four Judgement day she will rumbel tumbel intothe pit of solfa. Amen
Can I be honest? I don't think most of this is shocking
Agree!!!!
The narrator's obviously-false enthusiasm doesn't help matters. "Omg Prince Harry's real name isn't a nickname MIND BLOWN LIFE CHANGED"
When Prince Harry’s name was announced after his birth they actually said that Prince Henry would be known as Harry. So he has been Harry his whole life.
Imaging she hast a passport, saying “Yes, it's me“ 😆
None of the royal family have passports they are above law
Passports are issued in their name.
I feel like these are more “interesting facts about the royal family” than weird things we ignore
Oh come on! Even I, a middle-aged, middle-class American knew that Prince Harry's real name is Henry. You can't tell me that any English people didn't know that!
the English people certainly did. i think they are saying that most of "us' meaning americans didnt know it. I remember his birth. we knew it was Henry but that he was being called Harry.
I didn't 😂
Harry is a diminutive of Henry, also "Hal" like "Chuck" for Charles. but they are considered more "as nicknames than anything, Harry is perfectly acceptable, my brother in law was christened Henry but it was always Harry . He was never referred to as Henry. (Dont know why it cant be "Harry" in the 1st place, but probably not considered to be "ton" as one would say, in other words, Henry is a "proper" name, "Harry" a diminutive and I suppose more in keeping when you are being christened
@@Hangryyt Me either.
I knew the name of both William and Harry. There were contests. Also watched Diana's wedding.
My great grandfather's name is Chas, and has been spelled Chaz on some documents.
I have the same nail polish from essie. * feels slightly royal *
BabyP Nice. I like it.
I find it hard to believe they don't attempt higher-quality formula. maybe it's a source of income cuz i'm sure it sells like *crazy* cuz "royal"
P
I have that color polish and blue blood. Little good it does me though.
Me to. It's my favourite
The queen has seen a lot, and her heart has softened, as her mind has sharpened. We should all aspire to be like this.
I heard a couple once invited the queen to their wedding and she actually showed up. Now, I don't know if that's true but it's a good story.
Kelly Seastar I saw that and it is. Talk about a couple that were surprised and elated. Very nice wedding gift for them.
It’s true
Kate went to my school and everyone got to see her! The best thing was to see her smile
Way to Go Queen Elizabeth... insisting on driving King Abdullah around... you go gurl!
Omg Harry is short for Henry. I’m laughing so much I was expecting something really strange except it was actually just his full name
The queen and her corgi adoration is honestly my favorite thing on this planet
I have never heard of ironing shoelaces. That was very odd to me.
Really, I have ironed my daughter's shoe laces when she was small and wore them, I'd wash & dry them, polish her shoes and iron her shoe laces.....they look much better.....HMMM I thought all Mom's did that !!!
I still wash my shoe laces to my tennis shoes, but don't think I have ever ironed them tho....but I used to iron my dish towels, pillow cases, husband's tee shirts, his handkerchiefs ......and many many other things, but don't do it now....thank God for Dryers, just put something in dryer spray with some water, fluff it up it's as good as ironing....and much easier on the back.....I used to love to iron, but not anymore....I still iron certain things.....occasionally but very view.....LOL....guess we live & learn eh?
How cool is the queen, making a stand for woman by driving a prince from a country which didn’t let woman drive, work or own their own lives. it may sound small but woman’s lives are so restricted there and now Saudi Arabia is taking small steps to become more open, the Queen does amazing work and I just love her showing him how it’s done. I wouldn’t be surprised if she could still strip the engine down and rebuild it too!
claire higgins s
B
I would love to give her a great big "You Go Girl"!
Wtf I am Saudi and who says are lives are restricted? Well mine is not and i can do whatever i want work study abroad go out have fun! so can everyone i know just because we don’t drive oh what a freedom that is most people now have private drivers like what’s the difference i feel like this is more relaxing😴
"Most people have private drivers"? Did you say that out loud? Did you consult with some of the people in the poorest of circumstances? Maybe you could get back to us on that!
I have no doubt the Queen could strip an engine. She was an army truck mechanic during World War II.
How is this woman alive with eating all this cake and alcohol ???
She made it to 92 so she must be doing something right. Perhaps cake and alcohol are really good for you as in the old Woody Allen movie SLEEPERS where scientists of the future have learned that "steak and chocolate cake" are good for you, too...But I think that being THE QUEEN really helps!
Dear True love She's pickled.
I don't believe this part.
Me too tho,she discovered health wellness dodging diabetes and liver failure 👍🏻
By the Grace of God and the Will of her Subjects.
she is literally a wholesome grandma
Ya
Her grandkids call her Granny. I'd have thought Grandmama or similar, but she's known to be a doting gran (and great-grandmother!).
She drinks blood. Yes...she does
Hardly
LOL!!!!
“SHE HAS TO HAVE THE WHOLE CAKE” umm me. lol
Most people know Harry’s official name is Prince Henry. As far as him acquiring “Harry as a nickname in childhood that just stuck”, that’s also untrue. When Charles & Diana through Buckingham Palace announced their second son’s name, they said his name was “Prince Henry Charles Albert David, but he is to be known as Prince Harry”. He has been known as Harry from the very beginning, from the moment they announced his name.
Thatwouldbeme Absolutely, that's what I was going to say!!
Why not just call him Harry in his legal name?
Margret Sims Henry is a royal name.They have to choose from a list of names, so maybe they wanted to call him Harry so they just named him Henry
Exactly as it happened! I remember. : )
Yes!! I was going to comment this too. Also they act like it's news that Harry is a nickname for Henry but heaps of Henrys are called Harry (or Hal, or Hazza).
Harry is short for Henry in all English speaking countries. Has nothing todo with royalty.
flyboyyvr has nothing to do with “all english speaking countries” its only british decent
I live in the US, and I've never heard Harry being short for Henry. I think it's a British thing.
I’m Canadian and I know harry is short for Henry.
I'm Australian and know Harry is short for Henry -- in the US Hank (from Henk for Hendrick) or Hal is a mod of Henry -- just sayin'
flyboyyvr Like Henry Blake which btw I love that old actor..
Dear Talko, "Harry" has always been a nickname for "Henry." Where have you been? Ohhhh, you must be Millennials! 😉😘
Ikr? I didn't know that any adult could be that ignorant.
4 valets and his shoe laces ironed. Not dressing or undressing himself. Prince Charles!!! You got to be kidding!
I think some of this video is a lie ;)
That's actually pretty normal for royalty. It was considered an honor to be able to dress the monarch, and beneath the monarch to dress themselves. He's trying to keep the tradition alive.
Ironing his shoelaces for goodness sake, I'd iron his shirt while wearing it on high setting!
I know, right! Add to that the fact that most shoelaces these days are plastic-based and would kill any iron applied to them. I'd love to know where this crap came from. Absolute rubbish!
Po ò0 po
Iron shoelaces. Now that sounds like he is going a bit too far.
emily cheetham Ironing shoelaces is something you have to do in the Army prior to kit inspection, probably in the stricter regiments of the Brigade of Guards! It has less to do with turnout, more to do with discipline!
emily cheetham lmfao!!!... Ironing shoelaces thats rounded is definitely not going to sit to well..😅😂
Not all shoelaces are rounded, some are flat like ribbons & can be difficult to tie if all scrunched up. Check your sports shoe laces.
His servant gets up everyday before breakfast and digs the royal gardens with a teaspoon.

Mona ElDuck my bad..King, which makes it even better 😂😂
Spot on.
Probably checked his pucker factor as well. Lol. That was awesome though.
To us Brits, none of this would seem strange. Also, “Harry” is the recognised UK nickname for Henry, like “Hank” in the USA. It’s not just the Royal Family.
I have always called Henry, Hank and Charles, Chuck! Just seemed appropriate for those two no class guys!
Harry has long been a nickname for Henry. It goes back before Henry VIII.
He could have been called "Hal", also in Shakespeare, but his family decided on Harry.
Harry is a always nickname of Henry
Harry Freaking Potter - isn't it also a nickname of Harold?
In Britain it is common to refer to Henry as Harry, even outside Royal circles. My uncle Henry was always referred to as Harry.
A valet ironing shoe laces for the prince??? This is incredible!
whoever writes the voice over has a really weird idea about what is weird. QUEEN EATS BANANA? mind officially blown!!!!
Too right and news flash, children take the name of their OWN father? Fun fact in my family when my mother married my father (in the 1960’s) she took his name and my brother and I do, in fact, use his last name as ours!! I may not just be an old queen but actually a prince judging by that. I don’t know who’s dafter. Them (The talko) or us/me for watching.
That WAS NOT the part they meant to be mind blowing, it was Harry's name really being Henry. Although most of us already knew that. The part the got me was that Charles has never even undressed himself. I can't imagine standing there while someone takes off my clothes while I pick up my legs or arms to facilitate them.
Royal family members are to stay on earth from heaven is a good thing see right now I am very happy going in a great day for love you too baby girl I WAS GOING ON WITH our lives to getting married and Doctor Blake Alexander Chin Lee we have have rights to plan to getting married and Doctor who is the most knolage clinic doctor The Knot Ana Alvarez and Doctor Blake Alexander Chin Lee we have have rights to plan to getting married and have children to see Angeles BLAKE AND I WAS GOING ON WITH our lives to getting married sweetheart I hope honey our love never fails and to getting married and Doctor Blake Alexander Chin Lee we have have rights to plan to getting married when I can see Angeles BLAKE AND I WAS GOING ON WITH our lives to getting married in reality how we prepare with our big day invitations picture to getting married and Doctor Blake Alexander Chin Lee we have have rights to plan to getting married preparing clothes please help me Ana Alvarez and Doctor Blake Alexander Chen Lee we are going to gutting married in a great day we are going to gutting married in good support how to getting married and Doctor who is the most knolage clinic doctor
Banana cut up eaten with a fork is weird. I don't know maybe you do it also that's why you find it normal
@@unclenelvis the eating it with a fork bit is the weird bit...unless of cause this is common in your corner of the world
I laughed when you said the Queen is not standing in line at the DMV because NOBODY in the UK stands in line! The DVLA issues your license by post and you pay your taxes online!! X
Years ago, everyone had to stand in line at the DMV. You could be there for hours. Now there are appts. available and many things can be done online (but not everything). :)
Don't you go in a DVLA office to take the Written exam and Practical Exam? Here your licence is mailed to you.
Stephanie Perry the DVLA doesn’t test you directly, you do both tests through the driving school you choose to learn with and they notify the DVLA x
$8 is not a cheap bottle of nail polish.
Alisha Piekarski yeah when there is dollar tree....I can get it for $1. Can't always afford to pay alot for stuff, especially when you don't have to. Even if I spent more than a dollar I can get one for less than 8 on it.
Alisha Piekarski I'm with you! Cheap is 50 cents to $1. I guess to millionaires $8 is chump change.
well, it depends where you buy it. I expect a designer type of nail polish can run much higher. You would buy the name as they are all the same.....I expect.
Its really expensive where i live in nz...$8 is the cheepest ive bought...the expensive stuff is like $30
$8 in what currency? I pay $12 AU for most polishes which is valued at about 30 Pound in the UK. So your point is???? If they pay 8 pound that is pretty cheap....
The narrator seems unaware that in anglo-saxon countries, William is Bill, Henry is Harry, James is Jim (think startrek), Edward is Ted and so on. So referring to Henry as Harry is perfectly normal. However, although Harry sounds posh enough for a royal for historical reasons (King Harry is Henry VIII), Bill, Jim and Ted sort of don't, although Jim and Ted were both used by prime ministers of the 1970s.
Yes, even Germans like me know that!
Actualluy edward is ed or eddy,eddie and ted is theodore.
@@pattihainline1573 Not always. Ted is a known nickname for Edward. *cough* Teddy Lupin aka Edward Lupin *cough*
@@margaretconnor5623 well i stand corrected thank you i guess ted is a nick name for edward! How ever most are nit called that! Just saying it's usually ed or eddie
@@pattihainline1573 There's lots of odd nicknames out there. Hell, there's some for my name that just don't make any sense. Like I grew up being called Maggie and Margie, that makes sense. But Peggy? Greta? Gretchen? Rita? Daisy? How do people get that out of Margaret. Like how???? Nicknames are weird...
Henry is always called Harry lol .. That's so lame that one 😂🙄
The Queen is such a mood. I love her
Just a titbit about the queens choice of colours on clothes. She originally chose bright colours by advice from her security team, it makes her stand out so THEY can keep an eye on her an know where she is at all times in case of emergency. Very little chance of missing those colours if things went pear shaped and her security team had to find her fast. she also wears gloves not only to avoid getting others sweaty hands on her. but its also to avoid someone trying to putting a chemical or poison onto her skin. They are lined and completely sealed.
You’ve mentioned these rules so much times in your other videos that I know them by heart.
Why would you think being called the less stuffy 'Harry' instead of Henry weird when 'Henrys' in the States are called 'Hank'?? Now that IS weird!!
she's a savage queen tho not gonna lie
She's the most dignified monarch we've ever had. What do see that's savage in her?
Scobra the queen eats babys
Dean Jones
Citation needed.
I wonder if the Trunchbull character in Matilda is her. She is a Taurus the bull and has to have choc. cake!
She put the Hit on Diana
Love the royal family and their traditions. It's what makes them different to the rest of us and it is what keeps us fascinated with their lives.
I keep my funeral clothes ready to wear too, although I don't travel with them. You don't want to have to go shopping when you have a funeral to go to.
The Queen has such beautiful skin! She reminds me so much of my own Mother. I think about all the people she has met through out her reign...pretty incredible woman!

2:09 Doubt all you want. She's known to sometimes travel incognito by herself with only one or two guards following discretely. So when she says that people do not recognise her without the bright clothes, she has the experience to back it up. The thing is nobody expects the Queen of England to be on an ordinary train, dressed as a dime a dozen old lady. It's called plausible deniability. So even if they do recognise her, 99% of the people will probably just dismiss it as an uncanny likeness and leave her alone. And that other 1% can be told that 'oh no I get that all the time. But I'm not her.'
The Dutch royal family have been rumoured to do the same thing. I guess a lot of celebrities tend to do this.
I can totally see that
Thank you Queen Elizabeth! For not going rogue on us with all your perks and being such a kind queen!
Cake, you say? Well, at least she has taste when it comes to food, if that's true.
And who wouldn't want to pamper their pets if they could? At least a little.
None of those rules were unfamiliar to me. My paternal grandmother was English. I am an introvert so their lifestyle is my worst nightmare. Great program.
Being royalty has its perks as well as its duties.
When will Americans stop thinking they know everything about the UK? They mostly get it wrong as in this report!
wait she repaired ambulances?? The Queen is a badass!!
My family is a lot weirder than theirs LOL
Harry has been a nickname for Henry for hundreds of years. I'm surprised you think so few people knew this.
Smh when the Queen's Corgis get more affection and pampering than you do in your house
You know why? Because just about anyone else is likely to talk to the press. The dogs are totally loyal
I treat my dog almost the same as she does hers. He doesnt eat rabbit or dine on silver. But he has the BEST of everything money can buy! I prefer to feed him on antique china.
When they said that they use "cheap" nail polish I thought they meant like Wet 'N "Wild lol
FOUR cocktails a day? If we did that, we’d be labeled as alcoholics.
4 coctails per day is wrong info!!
usually none, at christmas however it is 4 ..... for about a week per year
Georgina Sandnes
it was false?
Amy Shakalis
What's the difference?
Amy Shakalis Don't work? She's in her ninth decade, and still carries out several engagements every single day. She has to attend to her red boxes from the government every day, even on holiday. She has done more work in her lifetime than most people would do in three! An ordinary working person would have retired thirty years ago!
I’d be labeled as asleep.
Just as Yanks call Charles "Chuck", Harry IS Henry. Check your Shakespeare... Henry V..." Cry God for Harry, England and St George "
Isn't he also called 'Prince Hal" , before he becomes king, of course?
Gary L Yes, I meant to include that, but didn't want to muddy the waters by throwing another name in!!! Haha!
My friend was christened Harry. He's never been called Henry.
Phil, so many Americans are both enthralled and confused by life in the UK and your relationship with your monarchy. Here our TV media, during the recent royal wedding, called the Duchess of Cambridge "Duchess Kate", "Kate" and even "Kate Middleton". I will not be surprised if our media will call the new Duchess of Sussex "Duchess Megham" "Meghan" or "Meghan Markle". Also, according to our brilliant TV presenters St. George is a "cathedral;"instead of a royal chapel. I bet you did not know that? You got royalty- We got Trumps. I think you got the better deal.
Gary L well considering Kate is her name and has always been, and considering the Duchess of Sussex is a title and not a name, I expect to hear her being referred to as Meghan. As THAT IS HER NAME. Freak
Just a small point. Although the Queen is immune to prosecution by statute or common law, she CAN, in theory, be tried by Constitutional law. Magna Carta is even higher, its whats known as a Settlement Treaty, an agreement between the Crown and the people, and above the jurisdiction of Parliment. Magna Carta allows for the monarch to be tried by a 'Barons Court', a court of law held in the House of Lords. She can be prosecuted for breaking her Coronation Oath, or breaking any of the Settlement Treaties the Crown has signed.
There are those in UK that argue by signing the six EU treaties, she has broken her Coronation Oath in which she agreed to "protect the people from foreign rule". By giving Royal Assent to the Eu treaties, she handed over a chunk of the nations soveriegnty to unelected forigners in Brussels, and therefore should be tried in a Barons Court for Treason. However, you'd have to arrest her to do that, and as the sayaing goes, "you and whos army?"
Stephanie Sadie.
Did a Google search tell you all that or are you a British person that knows that? It did make me wonder what would happen if she did something to break the law? Thanks for sharing.
@@lunaliagingerbread8291 the queen is the law .crown court.
Having one's shoelaces ironed is the strangest thing I've ever heard of!
I'm British and the Henry to Harry thing is actually really popular even among us 'commoners'
So to live a long life eat a lot of cake and drink four cocktails through out the day. Awesome, It's going to be a good life.
Being the the Queen of the UK also helps- a lot!
there is something special in that cake. Red velvet with blood in it ? adrenochrome ????
She drinks blood
as long as you cut your bananas into small pieces and eat them with a fork it all works together! lol
It's probably her secret to living so long.
So, you mean to tell me when Chucko was cheating on Diana with Camilla, he had 3 valets undress him for the “act”

simone wester yes, like Diana.
She th boss of MI6 , state approved assinations are commonplace
simone wester but that doesn’t mean she’ll do it
OMG
I'm slightly concerned about her driving when she has at least 4 cocktails a day! Though I suppose if she isn't prosecutable, she can't get done for drink driving!
Correct, as Monarch she has what is called "Sovereign Immunity"' and is the only member of the Royal Family who has it. But she is 92 and has no record of ever being pulled over by police for drunk driving-yet. I think the legal theory is that since she is the ultimate source of all law and justice in the UK it would be really stupid to break a law that was made in her name.
These days she only drives on her own estates, she can do what she wants on private roads - just like the rest of us.
Donna O As far as I know, she only drives on private estates, not over distances on public roads. As for driving the King of Saudi Arabia, the host or hostess of an important visitor will, if competent do do so, normally drive the guest personally! It is a courtesy and a compliment to do so, rather than leaving it to a lackey!
Michael Mouse The Queen drives on public roads, she couldn't visit friends otherwise. The drinking bit is exaggerated and she does not drink and drive. Like so many things on RUclips a single fact is made into a novel.
If she is at Windsor, Sandringham or Balmoral then most of her family and friends tend to actually live within range of her private roads, since they are probably already living within her private estates (all three named consist of mulitple properties, most of the properties further consist of mulitple separate dwellings), or else are currently staying somewhere within the estate as the Queen's guest at the time she is wishing to see them. I admit things would get more tricky when she is at Buckingham Palace, but even then Clarence House, Kensington Palace and St. James' Palace are all pretty nearby, and most of her family and friends are probably likely to be at one of those is she is resident at Buckingham Palace and they are not.
makes me wonder whats in that cake?
Hey did you know it's not that strange that your nickname is similar to your actual name?? Or that people prefer to go by their middle name.
Harry has always been the familiar name for boys/men called Henry. I had an uncle so named. When Prince Henry’s name was announced it was stated that he would be known as Harry.
Umm...Most people over the age of 10 (Americans and Brits) should know that Harry is a nickname for Henry. Why don't people today understand that Bill is short for William, Bobby is short for Robert and so on? I actually worked in a school where teachers were constantly amazed to find this out!
I think it’s so cool that the queen drives when she wants. She should be able to do whatever she wants & it looks like she does!
WOW! These things are really weird but very unique lifestyle but to be honest, I have never seen the Royal Family physically in my entire life.
I don't know whether anyone else has mentioned this, but - in the UK - it is not uncommon for the name Harry to be used as a "diminutive" of Henry. It's a bit like James/Jamie/Jim/Jimmy or Edward/Eddie/Ted/Teddy or Margaret/Maggie/Meg. There are definitely more than those four names, although I can't remember them at the moment.
Ironing the shoe laces seems a bit much...🙄
@T Silbaugh...I did read once he only wears his socks once and they go to charity.
Genie Meadows Wow...he obviously doesn’t know the price of a pair of Bombas! Hehe
They iron shoelaces in the military
But if he wasnt impeccably turned out, someone would be bitching about that!
Larry Barker so true...iron on!
I enjoyed this very much, thanks.
When i didn’t know ANYTHING about the royal family , I went to Windsor castle , and now when I know EVERYTHING about the royal family , i am staying at home wanting to go to the castle
Long Live the Queen, I just love her...
All "Henrys" are called "Harry". It's a diminutive.
Lillian Reilly Nope I know someone whose name is Henry but called Hank.
So it's actually Henry Potter and not Harry Potter?
Not all Henrys are called Harry, like not all Sarahs are called Sally, but, it is pretty common, I guess in the UK.
You are all correct. I should have said, 'Traditionally "Harry" is a diminutive of "Henry".' 🌻
The Royals only wear neutral nail polish on Royal engagements representing the QUEEN and state dinners. They have worn other color nail polish!
Thanks for the information. Now , I know.
When she insisted on driving the saudi King. Well done 💆♀👏
tbh its not the queen who doesn't have to stand in line at the dmv as they don't exist in the UK and drivers licenses are mailed to you
secktorichah Dont you just find it annoying watching American videos on the Royals as if they are experts, when I believe half if it is nonsense or totally blown out of proportion!
yeah it can be annoying what i find worse is how everything has to relate to American culture and that popularity or certain cultural aspects are overlooked because they don't suit an American market. I would be more understanding if theses videos were made for American television but they're made for RUclips which is a global platform and therefor videos like this should have a more global consideration.
I find it annoying when people from England get all upset over small details. Sorry the video wasn't up to par. And if you actually come to America you'd find some things here are mimicked after England. Goodness a fun video turned into ridiculous disagreement over a silly mistake.
This video doesn't upset me it's just since it's a video about the British Royal Family it is basically our culture and therefore relating it too much to American culture seemed off to me (mainly the DMV comment TBH). Maybe The Talko's main demographic is from America i don't know it just bothers me that a channel talking about a British subject on a global platform can only make jokes or comments relating to one part of the world. This isn't me upset or angry and they made no mistake as they intended to make that joke I just didn't relate and i thought i might educate someone as i am British.
calm down i don't hate America i just think that is bad business to focus your audience to one specific area when on a global platform when you can just as easily make content for a global audience especially when the topic of the video isn't even about American culture.
Wow, this was fascinating! 🐨💯🇦🇺🫶
With the drinks it's like mountain dew before a competition for me
Hiding behind a closet until its time to come out seems weird to me
It is not exactly a small closet. It is something called an ante-chamber and is bigger than your average reception room.
Christina Vernon Are you talking about Prince Edward? Different closet?
Dennis Staughton no, I meant when they all hide behind a closet during a party, and then come out to be fashionably late
Dennis Staughton
You haven't noticed Edward is the only sibling not to have divorced his wife or perhaps you're too busy guarding a secret of your own?
Gordon Smith No, I'm not living a lie, thanks. But by your own deductive skills, you must be the one projecting. Throughout the 80s & 90s, it was fairly well-known. The aversion therapy must've taken.
I don't have problem for someone being filthy rich, but being immune to prosecution seems unfair to others. U just seeing an old lady but what about if it was a young king who can commit a crime? Who will keep him/her in check? I believe all people are equal and no ONE should be above law
Patricia Allerton No one is a perfect angel, as human we DO make mistakes, in if someone is in position of power knowing that no matter what happens you won't be hold accountable, opens canes of warms and history is a great witness, tell to all the victims of wars around the world, slavery in Africa, colonisation, even English neighbours (Scots and Irish) were not spared the curse of the English thrown and its savage and murderous decisions made by the kings and queens of England. Even English people were enslaved mentally by brainwashing them to thing that the royals are blue blooded not like the rest of us and they are somehow fulfilling the direct orders of God. Give me a break
nobody minds folks being rich if we LIKE them, I've noticed. we say 'Oprah is so wealthy, yay, or Beyoncé, or the KARDASHIANS, and the Kennedy's, great. BUT when it is the TRUMPS and Republicans or celebs we hate we say BOO. lol! (and it is NOT just cuz they supposedly share more, as I have heard that some conservatives are MORE likely to give to charities than libs, so).....ELLEN sure likes to give OTHER peoples money away on her show, I've noticed. Everything is from TARGET or WALMART or SNAPCHAT or whatever, NOT her money. Like OPRAH and her cars 'you get a car, and you' paid for by the car company. ELLEN even admitted this, she joked on her chat show, "I LOVE giving money away, especially NOT my own!" (jokes usually have truth in them or we wouldn't say them.)
Old people also kill. It is not only expected from the young. The controlling old ones, have special people doing their dirty deeds and these people are also protected by them as it is their wish. The monarchy hides many secrets. I agree, no civilized government should allow some archaic monarch to create laws to keep her safe and untouchable by the justice of her subjects. It is a slap in the face of all the judges and lawyers who live and work in the UK. That country has no justice system if one member is allowed to be exempt. The queen is no figurehead. She rules and decides what laws she wants to make to protect her and her family. The Mp's and the PM, all agree with her. They are all sucking up to her. It is a very sick system and I expect, corrupt to the core.
Funny that. I have noticed that most people don't care about other people's money at all. So, what you have "noticed" is something you and people closest to you do. You mind it when people whom you don't like are rich. :-D
Most people don't like people they don't like because these people do and say things that are unlikable, or don't do or say anything likable. Now, one's political leaning can be considered as "something people do or say that is unlikable", but I mean more real things, like if they help you when you need help.
When it comes to "ELLEN giving OTHER peoples money away"...
Two things here you might not have thought about.
In charity giveaways people "give away" things that are not theirs, but that have been donated to them.
Marketing is a huge part of a company's budget. Having your brand mentioned in a multinational show with millions of viewers is worth more than some cars or other things that are being given away.
Now, when it comes to "I have heard that some conservatives are MORE likely to give to charities than libs". Could be, who cares?
SOME are MORE LIKELY to give than others. Sure.
It doesn't mean ALL, it doesn't mean they actually give, it doesn't say anything about the kind of charities, and it doesn't say much about the generosity and charity of the people involved. I mean, when Donald Trump gives less than 1 percent of his wealth to his own fund that exists to free him from the consequences of his wrongdoing, it's counted as giving a lot of money to a charity :-D
I love how the video mentions she can't be prosecuted right after mentioning she drives her car all the time. You just KNOW there's a hit and run somewhere in her past. (Joking of course! I'm sure the queen is an excellent driver and her vision is 20/20)
Lol, I thought the fact about the cake was really cute *not in a weird way, but because old people are kinda cute* The smiles in the picture were just amazing. (:
“But apparently it’s queen Elizabeth ll who has a frankly weird thing about cake”
You and I both queen. 😂
