Note her closing words. “I hope I have been trained right” She is very humble with just an element of self doubt. It’s made her so successful
ABSOLUELY. This shows how intelligent she is. I know Edda Moser, the famous soprano very well, and she says always: Power needs composure. I was think of this remark when I saw this remarkable documentary Elizabeth R from 1991!
She eats babies
RIP Elizabeth R!
Absolutely lady of respect . Love her 💕
But - but - _who_ is speaking, please??? Who is the voice-over? Thank you ...
@@hortenseweinblatt1508 The Woman is Her Majesty herself.
I bet Anne was and is a hoot to be around.. love her personality
I bet the Queen Mother was a party animal. Even at advanced age she was still throwing the moves on the dance floor :)
I've met several people who met the QM or were in service with the RF. Those who met the QM all said that she was a very nice woman and the servants loved her. She seems to have had great charm although she was tough as old boots. Apparently when at Balmoral she'd get herself down to the village, chat to people over the garden hedge and invite herself in for a cup of tea :)
Oh that old lush was up for anything, and i do mean anything.. 🤣
Yes, I was thinking the same thing….quite impressive!!👍
I'd bet she enjoyed a good party too! I really don't know what to think of the QM as I never met her, but people who did know her have said that the QM was a lovely kind woman - if she liked you, but Heaven help you if she'd decided that she didn't like you!
The Queen Mother was joyful 🎉
The queen is quite pretty when she is smiling and having fun
@Apolo Adonis The music and the dance are Scottish. This ball is in Scotland, not Germany.
@Apolo Adonis No. German relates to Germany. Scottish relates to Scotland.
Queen Elizabeth has always been pretty. God Bless Her. A Superb Monarch. 🇬🇧
@@apolinary29 think she si unique
She is and Princess Margaret was very beautiful women. The Queen never tried to emphasize her beauty or skate through her younger life with her looks. She's a very respectable, admirable woman.
I have never seen this family look happier, lovely to see!
The dancing Queen
See that girl...watch that scene lol
Uhhhh yeahh
The REAL dancing Queen
Friday night and the lights are low
"... Having the time of your life..."
I'm a fan Princess Anne. She marvels everywhere!
shes the best 😍
Agree.
@@mynthamara5994 Doesn't she though.
It was the first time I’ve seen the queen smiling and truly looking like she was having fun!
Hello Mary, How are you doing?
She loves visiting Scotland
Princess Ann never changes her hair style… it’s so outdated.
@@jsstar76 Neither has the queen
@@jsstar76 Princess Ann wears what she likes and what suits her. It is her own style. She does not dabble in fashion trends.
The Queen's voice is lovely...and I really liked the way she said " and I hope I have been"....
Stunning voice. A true born Queen.
The QUEEN looks SO CALM AND ELEGANT EVEN WHEN SHE IS DANCING
Yes, she does. I noticed that--still regal looking!
It is nice to see some of the old traditional dances still used. In my opinion, it is a shame that you don't see a lot of these dances anymore.
Take up Scottish Country Dancing and you will do this more often than you think. It's fabulous.
@@Onbehaard it's a lot different now though - it's kind of more like a cross between pride and prejudice dancing and rugby. I haven't been able to go since covid but it's a LOT faster now - not sedate at all. Guys doing push ups in the middle of the circles and flinging you around. Don't need alcohol you get dizzy enough from being spun violently every 2 seconds, and if you come away with bruises you know it's been a good night.
The Queen is such an amazing woman.
I've Always Loved the Queen's voice 💯... It is SO Calm & Soothing😊🌹💐🙏🏾💖
The queen has always had a beautiful smile, so pretty, so comfortable
I just watched the Balmora scenes from the Netflix series "Crown" that came out today. There is a scene in episode one that was depicting this very event and I have to say that I am utterly impressed. Every little detail is captured from this footage, the clothes, the jewelry the music and the dancing.
It’s true. They really nailed it down with the scene with their outfits and everything. They really did the research.
Right? I watched this video months ago, and I just started season 5 of The Crown and I was so impressed too by how accurate everything is to this real life event
Thanks for the recommendation, i'll watch it
Lovely to see the Queen and her mother in happier times.
Dancing is an ancient world wide tradition. I’m sure her Germanic influences were part of her everyday life and family tradition but some Greek too from her fathers side.
Anymore info needed?
Diana and Philip are going to be missed so much!
This is how I will remember them.
The Queen lives such a lavish lifestyle and yet she has a simplicity about things that I love.
Compared to other Royals, especially Brunei, HM Queen Elizabeth is the most humble Royal, if you look closer at her dress, even the dress that she wore when she was young, all of them are average common dress, some celebrities and CEO's or business person is even more lavish than her. And all of her castle is old medieval castle, and only being maintained to be taken care of, that's why people love her, despite every scandal and controversy brought up by her children and grandchildren, people still love her, even republican figure in every country where she's the head of states is so respecting her that they wanna turn republic once her reign is over (after she died, Long Live the Queen)
A lavish lifestyle? Living in old palaces and country estates that are cold, drafty, leaks with few moments of privacy from attendant staff and undertaking royal duties all the time, even when she is sad or unwell. Countless miles smiling and shaking the hands of strangers, being gawked at. I think too many people equate status with privilege. The Queen is a rare creature and we have been lucky to have her as our head of state for so many years.
@@herreach6955 I would say Princess Anne lives a relatively low key life as well. No fuss, just get on with it kind of lady
Happier times; it makes me cry and smile all at the same time.
The Queen has such a beautiful voice. What she says is so true about setting out to do something for life and dedicating yourself to that.
It was princess Ann speaking here
Ghillies Ball looks like Fun!
The Queen is Right about 'Training'. If you are Trained properly, you can do Anything.🎯
Is that why her Son's Charles and Andrew are so screwed up?
What a silly and sad thing to say.
@@lindsaybradley300 I agree with you !
I love doing this dance!! A long time ago!!! 🏴🏴🏴🥰🥰
You have been a Monarch par excellence, Your Majesty.....the United Kingdom and your other realms and dominions salute your resolute steadfastness and devotion to duty. Thank you 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I just love watching this. Her Majesty smiling & dancing with Prince Philip ( RIP). It's so sweet to seeing them having fun.
Hello Renee, How are you doing?
Just great to watch over and over again..love it.
What a life HM has had.
She is a gem and a beautiful role model. As an American I admire her very much.
I was there. I danced with the queen in the next song. Happy memories.
May I have your honourable name, sir?
@@longbow101 yes it's Neale Climpson
This is only time I have seen the Royal Family having fun and be themselves. That is exciting.
And viola The Queen and Princess Anne too could dance
How lovely to watch HM the Queen in such a cheerful mood.. Long may she reign 👑
The queen and Prince Philip are so cute
Hello Patricia
1:51 Prince Philip imitated the Queen and acted in quite a funny and hilarious way😂 Love his sense of humour😛
Both parents(the Queen and Prince Philip) are looking their children anxious and opening hands. Very touching to me!
Seeing Prince Philip here, and having a ball is priceless!!!
He will be sorely missed and will always be my favourite member of the royal family.
Joy looks good on everyone. May we all grow ever more aquatinted with the delight that joy brings.
She came from a time long gone. Even at this age. So agile yet so rigid. The queen was a qirl when she took power. It took her years to learn how to use it. And she got that chance. Thats why shes the greatest. RIP Queen. You are THE QUEEN.
My boss, when I was in the Royal Navy, and we are blessed to have her as our sovereign.
I don't have the same opinion, I'm all for a Republic and we should kick them out especially when the Queen dies just like Maggie Thatcher said in The Crown.
@LION OF NORTH no I won't regret it. When you have a family that live in the height of luxury when there are homeless people on the streets many of them military veterans, it's disgraceful. Most members of the Royal Family don't give a damn about regular people so I certainly don't consider it an honour that the monarchy still exists. Once Queen dies retire them as they'll certainly have enough money to do so.
@@lepolhart3242 You get your "culture" from "The Crown", you pathetic moron :D ?
Wise and beautiful lady. God bless the Queen. Long may she continue to reign.
Wonderful to see the Queen and the Royal Family and especially the Duke of Edinburgh really enjoying themselves.
Hello Victoria
Three cheers for the Queen, Hip-Hip-Hip-Hoorey.
Seeing the RF unguarded and letting loose is fascinating. Charles is a suave dancer.
Sometimes the really reserved ones are the sort that do let loose at a party; it was amusing to see Charles getting into it.
I wouldn't call that dancing Suave but he was in step.
@@jeanpalumbo3411 b
Yes, he has swag LOL!
Our beautiful Queen and lovely Queen Mother.
That must be one of the most sedate Eightsome Reels in the history of Highland dancing!
🤣🥰🤣
My favourite Royal has been Queen Elizabeth-QueenMum. That smile always made me stop and relax. Lately Princess Anne is growing on me, especially at the end where braces herself against the wall exhausted from having fun dancing.
She got spun right round, baby, right round!
Being a Glaswegian and fond of our regiments the genuine love of Scotland is always perceived through the queen and the family, more so the queen mother.
That glimpse of Diana! ..she was so beautiful .
You can do a lot if you're properly trained! I love that! Educate and train. That's the ticket! We don't invest enough in our children.
Prince Phillip and Prince Charles have moves! Wow!
Don't they.... 😎
I think Charles is rather tipsy
Second me
Believe me that man could dance I know it for a fact he literally swept me off my feet in my youth when I was fortunate enough to dance a Scottish reels or ten with him through the years

May all people in this cheerful event who no longer exist with us but are strongly missed ,rest in peace.
Look at how tall our Queen was back then, it's sad to see how much weight she's lost recently, I hope she will regain her strength after her great loss..
She’s a survivor…. She’s fine
She's 95. What do you expect?
Well she was 65 there.... She is 95 now....
@@rickardnyberg4899 I was commenting on her recent weight loss, since the death of Prince Philip..of course she looks different after 30 years .
I thought it was just me that noticed how much weight she lost.
I love watching the Queen with her Family especially Charles❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Peggy
The family looks like all having a wonderful time
No many times, I have the opportunity to listen to Queen Elizabeth II. Looking her to dance, seems to me very full of life at that time, as she is now at the fourth age. 🌹🌹🍀🍀
That's so cool to see the royals hit the dance floor.
Queen E looked so wonderful and still does.
Rest in peace, ma'am. GSTK
A Very young Princess Diana! ....I love that the Queen talks about Continuity...!!!!
She is the
"Dancing Queen" !
and very proud of it!
She lives to dance!
She dances to live!
When this was filmed, The Queen Mother was 92. I'm now 62 and wish I had the same vigor when dancing!
This is so comforting to watch. Rest well, and thank you, for everything.
She has always been beautiful - and without plastic surgery.
Absolutely smashing. Bless her late Majesty, she looks so vibrant. Wonderful family time across the generations. A dysfunctional family eh Maghan and Harry!
You can see the youth in her face when she’s happy
Hello Maria
Awww the lovely Queen mum bless her xx
I love Queen Elizabeth she is awesome❤
Come on who’s with me God Bless the Queen!!! 🏴🏴😄😄
It looked amazing. Love these traditions.
Her majesty, the queen, her voice tremendously soothing.
Am from Large French & Irish Families..my grandfather was the band leader..we had great fun on week-ends dancing this simple reel with extended family members (aunts, uncles, cousins, sibblings ..sadly our children won't have such memories to share ..moi, Canada 🇨🇦
What a lovely scene. Traditional dance is so lovely. I could not do it myself but so enjoy watching other do it.
This is so charming and adorable. I've never seen this before, only pictures of it. What a wonderful tradition.
The cute Queen Mum💖💖🙏
I’ve never seen them dance! That was very nice!
Hello Karen
A truly sad day
September 8th, 2022
The death of HM Queen Elizabeth II
God Save The Queen
Our Queen is so beautiful, both outside and inside!
Looks like a fun time! Everyone enjoying themselves.
Hello Mary
What a lovely family time having a fun time the Queen looks so happy and the Queen Mother also and they have served there Country so well Wishing her Health and Happiness for 2020
You were certainly trained correctly, your Majesty, and it showed in everything you did. We will miss you beyond words. Rest in Peace, dear Queen Elizabeth, and may you rise in glory.
😭
It's not the queen who was speaking but princess Ann
What did she do?
It's nice to see the Royal family intact, and the Queen smiling and enjoying herself.
Absolutely beautiful
Love the queens voice ❤❤
She lives in utter luxury but still manages to keep both feet on earth and stay professional. I think that’s why she has remained so popular for so long.
Queen is beautiful in Great Britain god bless you
Love watching them all dance and enjoy themselves.
Ps- I like how Charles dances.
(2022) Note in this video: The Queen Mother was 90 and The Queen was 64. Then-Prince Charles was 42 in this video. Prince William is only 2 years younger right now at 40.
This was 1990?
Proud that the queen keeps tradition as it's a wonderful thing & worth keeping ❤️❤️
Yes but we can't live in the past. We have to move forward.
Princess Anne has always had an Edwardian type hairstyle to me
You're right. I never noticed it before
It depends on the bridle she's wearing.
She looks like a hors
Quite nice and beautifull, from looking from the year of 2020. It really gives her a honour!
Uhh... i do miss those years.
Which indeed, suits her perfectly!
I remember seeing this documentary on PBS. Her life is mapped out and planned 24/7. It's so regimented, isn't it. Watching this today and the POW. The Queen Mum, Princess Margaret and now Prince Philip are all deceased
Diana and now The Queen herself
This is delightful!👏
Rest in peace to both the queens ❤
I love when the QM needs a breather & has a younger girl take her turn dancing with Prince 👑Phillip, the Queen sees this swap & wags her finger at her husband in a mocking manner, you can see his grin as they quickly move to the, Scott inspired music. Wonderful, Thanks for this glimpse, even more special since the passing of, Prince Phillip.
Hello Laura
Wonderful!
What a joy!
Did anyone watch the first episode of the new Season of The Crown? Clearly Peter Morgan saw this clip
It's so wird to watch her smile. She should show this side of her more often.
Lovely to see the RF in happier times!
What a charming piece love it!
It is so nice to see our beloved Majesty and Queen dancing and having fun. She so much deserves it. Long live the Queen!
It’s so nice to see them all having fun , rest in peace to Prince Philip the duke of Edinburgh, we as a nation must support the Queen now
She will be fine. Worry about your servile soul instead.
Elliot Dobie..This Wonderful Woman is loved and respected by so many ..always dignified and respectful God Bless our Queen Elizabeth..
Dancing in the heaven 🖤👑
Anne holding up the wall after a big spin. I've done reels like that years ago.
Thanks so much for allowing us to see Her Majesty dance!
