Operation London Bridge: Shows Tower Bridge
London Bridge refers to the old london bridge not the new one so neither are correct ergo tower bridge is fine.
The Old London Bridge stood on the Thames from 1209-1831. The New London Bridge stood on the river from 1831-1968. The London Council put the bridge on the market in 1967, an American entrepreneur, Robert McCulloch purchased it in 1968, he believed mistakenly he was buying Tower Bridge.The bridge now stands in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. London now has a” Newer” London Bridge that replaced the New Bridge. Operation London Bridge is named after this current one.
@@megusta9268 I'm not quite sure what you mean? There is a London Bridge in London, put there after the other one was bought by America. And Tower Bridge is the same bridge that has been there since the 1890s.
@@bri5490 I understand that the story about McCulloch's mistake is apocryphal.
girls were not entitled to the same line to the throne, the 2014 vote was to make sure they had the same right to the throne as boys, so its oldest first, no matter if they are a girl or boy, which it didn't used to be, the 2014 vote changed that. So she should be there lol
But it only counts from Charlotte, Anne won't be queen
@TheRenaissanceman65 Only a portion of Commonwealth countries have the Queen as Head of State, ie the Realms. 16 countries at the moment, I believe.
Thanks for clearing that up, I totally missed that. I thought they were already in age order so it threw m off when they just moved her up. Considering how many queens there have been I am surprised it took until 2014 to make that official but good for them.
@@georgesamuels4511 Anne will not be queen
@@georgesamuels4511 its besically like weed is legal in california now but people are still in prison for weed in california because the law came into place before Charlot was born but after princess Anne born
Codename may be London Bridge but the picture they keep showing is actually Tower Bridge 🤦🏻♂️
My first thought! 🤣
Mine too...
and one known London Bridge is in the USA. :D
@@Me-uh1lb There have been several London Bridges through history but the one in Arizona was bought by billionaire Robert P McCulloch. He got catfished in that transaction. He thought he was buying the much fancier and famous Tower Bridge but what he actually got was the old London Bridge that was sold in the 1970s to make way for the current London Bridge to be built that we still use today.
At least they didn't make a whole song about like Fergie did, LOL
We didn't vote to switch the order in terms of popularity. We just voted to give princesses the same order in line as prince's, as previously boys would outrank girls
Yeah, she's the first girl not to lose her place in line to the thrown when her brother was born. I think they could have worded that better.
The "Monarch" never dies. The next in line becomes the new monarch instantly on the death of his/her predecessor.
There is no interregnum.
The monarch dose the monarchy doesn't
When the queen dies many of us will be distraught , she has been there through several generations and things just won’t be the same any more !
I can’t even imagine how we’ll feel when she dies. I think she’s an absolute inspiration to us all. God bless her
I'll be soo unhappy if anyone shows disrespect. Americans ,,,,,,,,,,she on our money. the armed forces (me Royal Navy) we will die for our queen. .....its gonna be mental. I say god save the queen ...I mean it.
this is a clear british opinion. im sorry i started commenting on ya tube. I just started thinkinking about if the queen died......im
When I joined the Army in 1976 I was a tiny insignificant part of a ceremony at Caephilly castle and although her Maj. may not have noticed my rakish good looks at the time, when I swore my loyalty to her I really meant it. I know that successive generations don't have the same sense of identity with what they may percieve as an outdated institution as I do, but I still love the whole idea and am prepared to do battle with the haters.
same here, it was 2002 when i joined, i would defend her majesty against anyone or anything.
Thank you for your service. Both of you. You guys are heros in my eyes.
I'm 75 and can just remember the Queen's father, George VI dying. Her Coronation was over a year later, when I was 7, and I remember that quite well. We even had a TV (with a tiny screen).
I find this video quite upsetting, but I think she'll probably outlive me. :-)
Yes it's so sad to even think of the Queen dying shes a very great lady. X
I can fully understand you.
I’m 40 and I find this tough to watch. I just can’t imagine it. Suspect we’ll be in a state of shock
The queens mother was 101 when she died so the Queen's got a few more years.
She was basically pickled in Gin too so not bad going 🤣
@@grizzlygamer8891 I think you'll find she was pickled in champagne; gin was for polishing her shoes
Life span isn't connected to someone else that's a ridiculous comment im 10 years older than my dad was when he died how do you explain that
The Queen has always had corgis, dog of choice. They always have a set ceremonies for funerals etc. Prince Charles is next in line to the throne. Set order. Queens father died in Sandringham. State funeral.
@@WreckItRolfe actually the Queen still does have one corgi now. One of her last ones died a few months ago.
@@WreckItRolfe Andrew got her a new Corgi puppy when Phillip went into hospital in the weeks before his death. She has a new dog. It is apparent that the family knew a while before we did that the Prince was going to pass on soon, so to try ease the loneliness she likely feels after losing a husband of so long, she has a dog again.
She started breeding Dorgies some time back - a cross between a Corgi and a Dachshund.
@@garethlawton5278 Andrew gave her two Dorgies. One died shortly after Philip dies.
FYI...The bridge in the info graphic is in fact Tower Bridge, not London Bridge.
London bridge would look shit, though.
I always belived that tower bridge was London Bridge.
I went here to complain about it. Thanks for doing it for me!
London Bridge refers to the old london bridge not the new one so neither are correct ergo tower bridge is fine.
@@megusta9268 nah, Tower Bridge is ways away
The general rule is that the monarch never dies. The successor becomes king or queen the second their predecessor dies.
So, in a sense, you're correct
Hence the saying "The King is dead - Long live the King" (or Queen)
That's why the monarch's personal standard (flag) is never flown at half mast.
Long live her Majesty
Mental to think they have a life of luxury whilst people die on the streets 😂😂
While I can see the aww factor of King Edward VIII abdicating for love, here in England it’s still seen (even 80+ years later) as a rather shocking dereliction of duty. The unspoken social contract between the royals and the country is that they are expected to put their role and sense of duty to serving the country ahead of personal feelings. This is something HRH Queen Elizabeth II has embodied for her whole reign and is one of the reasons that she is deeply respected.
HM. Definitely not HRH.
His abdication was a very serious matter. He was perceived as a weak man who was pro-Nazi to the point of staying with Hilter at Berchtesgarden, his summer home - a trip not approved by the Royal Family. A lot of historical documentation was suppressed and later released. However, at the time the problem was all about the fact that Wallis Simpson's 2nd ex-husband was still alive and as Edward was Head of the Anglican Church (Supreme Governor of the Church of England) he could not marry her and remain King. She could have remained as his mistress, but marriage was never possible.
Eddie boy was good friends with Hitler. There are multipe photos of them togeather. His shag happy wife Wallis was having affairs with multipe high ranking Nazis. Mi5 had them both under surveillance pre and during WW2. It's thought they would be made puppet monarchs if Nazi's won WW2
God Bless The Queen.
She needs more than blessing with Harry and Meghan as family.
@@alecto7926 Any excuse to bring Harry and Meghan into everything lol some of you people are so obsessed with them it's just weird.
Long live Her Majesty The Queen!
@@youneverseeanoldmaneatinga7416 What's wrong with Meghan and Harry?
Nah.
Frankly the thought of the day gives me that sad lump in the throat when you want to sob
The reason she is still going is because Death can't get an appointment.
Death doesn't want an appointment, that's one PDR he's not looking forward to. :-)
The Crown Jewels are priceless
I don't think you get how big the queen dying will actually be the video doesn't give you half of it. Heads of state and previous heads of state from around the world will have to be invited. The queens been around for a very long time so that could mean a hell of a lot of very important people turning up. The closest i can think of as an example is when Victoria died.
I will cry, I'm a 44 year old man and it will reduce me to tears, she is the only queen/king most of us know. Stability and continuity and all that will change.
She wouldn't shed a tear if you die mate. I don't understand how people can be so emotionally attached to someone who doesn't even know they exist.
She is my queen, i was in her armed forces, and have respect for the woman much more than the institution.
@@chriss8579 just ignore the morons mate.
@@orwellboy1958 i will do, if people can't or are unable to understand what the queen might mean to others fuck em frankly.
Same, I will be a wreck, I absolutely love her, what an amazing woman she is
The first state funeral we’re going to have over here is probably going to be Philip’s. He’s been looking a bit unsteady recently. That’ll be a big one, very naval seeing he served during WWII in the Mediterranean theatre and at Okinawa in the Pacific.
He's just been unexpectedly admitted to hospital
@@catherinerobilliard7662 Just seen that myself! Oops! What did I do?
Don't say anything about the Queen or Attenbourgh please lol.
@@36thulsterdiv72 Mum’s the word!
@@36thulsterdiv72 Attenborough ! National Treasure ❤️ Dame Judy too ❤️
Well the Queens mother lived until she was 101. So, it is more than likely she'll do the same
And Philip is 99 so Charles has a fairly decent amount of time left as well, although he does seem to enjoy cheese a little more than his dad.
Let's hope she lives even longer. Long Live The Queen!
Pog
The thought of her dying is very sad and I hope she has a long life just like the Queen mother, Long live our Queen 👑
our Queen has had a long life
Would be good if when they put the words "London Bridge" up they had a picture of it and not Tower Bridge.
London Bridge refers to the old london bridge not the new one so neither are correct ergo tower bridge is fine.
@@megusta9268 Ummm no - Old London Bridge was torn down in the early 1700s, Old New London Bridge replaced it and then New New London Bridge replaced it in the 1960s - London Bridge very much still exists and is very busy lol
remember that London bridge is just a bridge
@@WalkerSoc Yes but a very specific one
@@megusta9268 London Bridge still exists, there have been multiple since Roman and Medieval times, then a new one from 1831-1967 (the external stones are now part of a bridge in the US), the latest one exists as a concrete box girder bridge since 1971.
London Bridge is completely separate from Tower Bridge and you can see each bridge from the other, you don't want to mix the two of them up if you ever plan to meet someone in London.
Historically male heirs come first regardless of age thus HRH Princess Charlotte would be last after her younger brother HRH Prince Louis. However A law was passed endorsed by the Commonwealth and Her Majesty to remove this archaic rule. Thus HRH Princess Charlotte is higher in the line of assentation then her younger sibling.
The Queen will never die. Not in the hearts of this Great nation
Nothing great about the UK lmao

Will be a sad day for most Brits when she goes. 🥺
Yes you’re absolutely right it will. 😢
She has done a lot for this country
@@anonymous-iu4th Elizabeth publicly swore to do her duty to her people when she was 21. As far as I can see she hasn't put a foot wrong. Can't say the same for any politician.

This dear lady is much loved and respected by all including a crusty old socialist like me !
I’ll will be a sad time for the U.K. and I’ll personally feel a sense of loss. I’m in my 30s and I’ve known no one different, when you think about it my mum in her 60s has know no one different. 70 Illustrious years next year. God Save Our Gracious Queen. Good video buddy well done
5:15 a complete lie. The reason he had to abdicate the throne was because Wallace Simpson was a Nazi, between visits to the palace she would go (unknown to her followed by the secret service) to the German embassy to meet von Ribbentrop then German ambassador to Britain, where not only did she pass on secret she was also his lover. After Edward abdicated him and Wallace visited Hitler in the Eagles Nest where they got on well with Hitler so much that when planning operation sealion Hitler made the decision to put Edward back on throne after the conquest of Britain as his man. That's also why after the war they were never allowed to return to the UK.
He might not be King Charles. The new monarch is asked what name they wish to be used.
King Camilo lol
I would choose Kong
@@user-dk2ol7pq6r He should avoid James too. The last one ran away and threw the mitre(?) into the Thames.
@@user-dk2ol7pq6r Charles II was the first monarch after cromwell soooooooooo

The Queen is not unnaturally old. She has surpassed the average life expectancy, yes, but there are millions of people in their 90's around the world. There is half a million people over 90 in Britain alone!
Not to mention having the best cooks and health care money can buy since birth tends to help with longevity
@@jamessmith913 Perhaps. But the other tens of millions of people over 90 don't have the Queen's cooks and the Queen's money, yet they managed to reach the same age as her.
@@dean1039 that's true but I'm sure you will find most of that 90+ year olds come from wealthy familes. Not many coal miners or road workers get to 90. Especially born in 1930s. My dad was born in Scotland in 50s and never saw some kinds fresh vegetables till his teens. Genetics play I big part but diet , health care and avoiding certain jobs are a big part of long life. Just the fresh air alone of living in a huge estate surrounded by trees rather than the smog of 1940s/50s England makes a huge
@@jamessmith913 My Grandpop is 95 this year, was born on a farm and worked as a farmer until his 50s (when he then worked for the council doing manual work until he retired). He's got a bullet in his arm from a farm accident, has basically been unable to walk for 20 years because the discs in his spine are crumbling, he's had part of his bowel removed because of cancer (5 years ago and there was about an 80% chance he wouldn't live), he's got heart disease and yet he's still going! His parents lived to a decent age too and most of his brothers died in their 80s. I think that's good genetics!
My Nana died last year (we had her funeral the 1st week of covid lockdown 1) and she was 94. What finally got her was a combination of old age and heart disease. She'd worked on the farm as a land girl during the war (where she met my Grandpop) and then was a farmer's wife (so doing a lot of physical stuff!) until she was 51 when my Grandpop moved (she was older). One of her sisters is still alive (I think she's 90 this year) and has a husband the same age.
I know there's been a few others around the same age in that side of my family (and friends they've had in their area) and I can promise you that none of the people involved in any of this are even remotely wealthy and have all had very manual jobs and hard labour. I actually think it may be that which helped as they've build up healthy bodies by being active as opposed to someone sitting at a desk indoors all day. I doubt I'll live anywhere near as long as them!
@@katpalmer8713 well done to your grandfarther 👍. And yes I understand genetics play a huge part. But lifestyle is also incredibly important. For every person who lives a hard life and a long one there are a lot more who die early. That's why life expectancy is so much higher now than it was 100 years ago. When fresh fruit and veg were scarce long hours were the norm. Obviously medical advancements play a part too. But if you took twins and had one work in coal mine for 70 hours a week have a limited diet little fresh air lots of stress then gave the other millions the best health care and cooks to prepare the best foods. the second one would live longer. But yes you can also be genetically gifted and go through hell and live to 90. But those people tend to be the exception to the rule farmers btw are known for having long life expectancy. If I remember correctly fresh food , fresh air and for some reason early mornings are all said to help.
Regarding the change of inheritance, they didn't switch, they just made male and female heirs completely equal in succession, previously it was male-preference primogeniture but now it's absolute primogeniture.
If you think of it this way, if Princess Elizabeth and Princess Anne had had a younger brother when King George VI died, the younger brother would have been first in line.
Now with this new change, Princess Charlotte is currently 4th in line for the throne and her younger brother Prince Louis is 5th, without this change in law Louis would have been 4th in line and Charlotte would have been 5th despite being older.
It's not "when the Queen dies", it's "IF the Queen dies" and what happens is that the space-time continum collapses.
@TheRenaissanceman65 it’s a joke
We will miss her as she has been always there for the country and the Commonwealth. She has seen the most fundamental changes not only within our country but the wider world.
6:03 the documentary mentions "London Bridge" but shows a picture of Tower Bridge.
it's not a documentary it is an informative video documentary refers to a long boring tv show
The Queens body may give up but her soul will be absorbed by the people and the land of this great nation so she will never die as long as we British endure,
God save The Queen.
@@SimSim-zf9if well they made up god and that lasted 2000 year's
6:45 Operation London Bridge--shows a picture of Tower Bridge instead....
the London bridge isn't very fancy so
So many of us have known no one else on the Throne . I think a person would have to be nearly 70 to have been live when King George VI was on the throne . We have been extreamly fortunate to have Queen Elizabeth who does so much for the country and is respected by world leaders .
During the past year I have sometimes wondered what would happen if the Queen were to die during the current pandemic and how the authorities would cope with the outpouring of grief that is bound to happen whilst we are in lockdown.
That is a good point
There will not be an outpouring of grief noone gives a shit about a waste on tax payers money

I’m sure the Queen will be with us thankfully for many more years to come. And Prince Phillip is sure to make it to over 100, as he only has one more year to go to reach it.

Maybe I've missed something, but I'm struggling to understand what on earth Brexit has to do with this. Anyone?
No you didn't miss anything. Brexit has nothing to do with this, it's just a really bad attempt to associate something bad (the Queens death) with brexit.
@@michaelcumming2097 Agree! They try whenever possible to bad mouth Brexit! 🇬🇧
@@user-dk2ol7pq6r It was meant to reflect the longstanding stability of the institution of the monarchy, compared to the instability inherent in Brexit.
Nobody needs to badmouth Brexit, everyone who hasn’t got their head up their arse can see it’s a disaster!
This very poor presentation is was based on what was published by a very left leaning anti brexit newspaper. I'll let you work the rest out.
13:45 - The irony is that Brexit has pretty changed virtually nothing either here in the UK or the EU.
All the Royals close to the Throne have bridge codenames for their deaths. Bridges to symbolise the link between life and death. Interesting fact about our Queen. She can strip and rebuild an engine from a Mk1 Land Rover. She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty

when she dies .. your hear .. The Queen is dead long live the King
no you just he GOD SAVE THE KING who would say The Queen is dead
I was 7 years old when King George the sixth died the BBC radio cancelled all programmes and played sombre music and I am fairly sure I heard the traditional " The King is dead - God Save the Queen" broadcast on the BBC - not a lot of television in those days.
My Mum, who would be just a year or two younger than you, used to tell us how her Dad bought their first TV so that they could watch the coronation happen...like so many other families throughout the U.K. It really would have taken so much longer for the TV to catch on in the U.K. if it hadn’t been for the coronation.
Yes, I can remember the Queen returning from Kenya and what our school did on coronation day
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Queen Elizabeth doesn't't die for another decade.
She probably would, her mother died at the age of 101 and that was 20 years ago and medicine is so much more advanced plus the Queen doesn’t smoke and is pretty healthy in her habits. But that doesn’t matter anyway, everyone knows she is immortal

do you mean bite?
@@BigKelvPark I expect so. I often get them mixed up. I also have a tendency to leave out double letters.
Her grandson Prince William seems to be far more sensible than his father. Many would like to see him become the next in line.
William has a much higher approval rate. He's the most popular royal by far. I think if the monarchy is to survive past Queen Elizabeth, we need to skip a generation and go straight to King William. If we follow the line of succession and have King Charles, he will be the last ever Monarch this country sees. I guarantee.
But with William on the throne, I think the general public perception of the royal family may change for the better.
I think after waiting so long, it's only fair to give him a few years on the throne :P I think I'd also rather him on the throne so William can spend more time with his kids, but also go out on more royal duties.
@@KissMyFatAxe I guarentee you that Charles will become king before William. I will also guarentee you that the monarchy will be absolutely fine and continue long afterwards.
@@joealyjim3029 of course he will. He's next in line. But what I'm saying is Charles' approval rating is shockingly bad. If he ascends to the throne, the anti royal movement will gain a lot more supporters. Potentially enough to outright eliminate the monarchy. It's been talked about for decades and the ascension of Charles to the throne could potentially be the catalyst for that.
Whereas if William became king instead, the number of people supporting the monarchy would rise dramatically from what it is even now. Simply because people like him. Not many can say the same for Charles.
@@KissMyFatAxe The anti royal movement eliminate the monarchy? How would they go about doing that exactly? Are they going to pick a fight with the blues and royals?
Fun fact: BBC Radio 1 is primed to play Sabres Of Paradise "Haunted Dancehall" when the Queen dies.
As it's the far-left woke "BBC" I would be expecting maybe two well-known Sex Pistols songs being played instead . . . However, if she can hang on for just a few more years, the BBC by then may either be gone - or become, after being defunded, the least watched TV station in the UK . . .
I love the way they say codename London bridge but show a picture of Tower Bridge
Sorry below
Brit here. I've never been a Royalist. But as I grow older and see how she has conducted herself through history I have warmed to her a lot. It will be a sad day when she passes away.
Elizebeth - Respect
Charles - Not overly keen. The Diana / Camilla debacle doesn't play in his favour
William - Seems a decent guy
Harry - LOL GTFO WTF were you thinking???
Princess Anne was my Commander in Chief. Always admired her, hard working, no nonsense class - and the Ian Ball affair REALLY impressed the hell out of me. Would happily live with a Queen Anne.
Prince Harry is still in line to the Throne, he has just given up his role as a senior royal.
But being 6th in line, he probably knows the odds of him taking over are extremely low
The way that the two (or 1 mainly of them) were so desperate for privacy before they scarpered off - all suddenly changed to wanting maximum publicity in all areas, so as to rake as many millions into their bank accounts as they can. And if either of them screw up even just a little bit on Oprah, their beloved titles could be gone. Although, they already should be really - seeing as they're no longer here in the country to do any so-called duties to keep them . . .
@@anoldfogeysfun hold on Harry said he didn't want a repeat of Diana who was chased and DIED because of the press/paparazzi. privacy meant no paparazzi not no public life
The President is the Head of State and Government, the Queen is Head of State, while the Prime Minister is Head of Government. So they're equal, there's just more ceremony around royalty.

Good to see your using a larger video....well done. I can see what your commenting on.
Can't recall exactly but one of our Kings in England died early enough for it to be mentioned in the Evening Newspapers , but it was thought to be a bit shoddy for the Evening Newspapers , so the news of his death was delayed so it could be announced in the Morning News instead . Wasn't that long ago although I forget the actual details 🤔
it was her George V or VI i think they pursposly injected him with morphine so the evening press/newspapers could print his death
the Queen is human, so sadly, she will die. For me as a 57 year old English man, when that day comes, which as she's now nearly 95 will be sooner rather than later, will be to me, as significant and hard to deal with as the days that my own mum and dad died. That's because, like them, but in a different way, she has always been there as a part of my life and the lives of all of us on our side of the pond and on yours.

Charles is her son & therefore next in line. His son William will then become Prince of Wales. Btw, the bridge they are showing in the graphic is Tower Bridge.
Edward the 8th who abdicated to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson tried to regain the throne by joining the Nazis in WW2 his American wife was also rumoured to be a play thing for high ranking Nazis. It's not the love story many think. They were a pretty horrible pair.
She didn't even love him and begged her ex boyfriend to get her out of the marriage somehow . He gave up everything for a woman who didn't even like him that much
do you mean the ''welsh corgi '' dogs?.. not yorkies?.
What's up with the narrator's accent? It's proper weird (as if she's faking it).
Nothing. That is an actual accent from the UK. I know many people with that accent, though myself have a strong midlands twang.
@@Davey-Boyd Nah there is something off about it.
@@theshiftybloke4672 yeah it's definitely someone putting on a British accent - possibly an American, but it's a bit hard to tell
that's racist
@@AlexPinkney vanity fair is British by my understanding, she may be strengthing it but loads of us speak like that
The Royal family generally live to an old age, some will say to greater health care and some will say way of life, either way most people don't see two monarch's die and so also two coronations which adds to the reverence to a degree. Great review 👍👍👏👏
London Bridge was opened in 1831 by King William IV. In 1967, the bridge was bought by Robert P. McCulloch and transported to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The 'Arizona bridge' is a reinforced concrete structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge. McCulloch had exterior granite blocks from the original bridge numbered and transported to the United States to construct the present bridge in Lake Havasu City, a planned community he established in 1964 on the shore of Lake Havasu. The bridge was completed in 1971 (along with a canal), and links an island in the Colorado River with the main part of Lake Havasu City. The "rededication" of the 'London Bridge' took place on October 10, 1971.
The Queen likes Corgies not Yorkies
You never know, she might like Yorkies as well!
For anyone who doesn't know, that's a type of chocolate bar.
No it's yorkies...she can't get enough chocolate lol
Finally an American I can respect
everyone says that it's getting old
The code names for the deaths of either the ruling monarch or member of the royal family have been used since death of the Queen’s father HM King George VI - the code name for his death was ‘Hyde Park Corner’; it’s also mentioned in the Netflix show : The Crown. I do feel sorry for King George VI as he was never meant to have become king; not only that, he was just 56 when he died in 1952 from complications of Lung Cancer as he had been a heavy smoker. As a result of this he had one of his lungs removed in September 1951 to ensure that a malignant tumour, which had been found in his lungs could not spread + he also suffered from Arteriosclerosis (the thickening/hardening of the walls of the arteries), Buerger Disease (the recurring inflammation and clotting of the veins/arteries of the hands feet) - which had been exacerbated by the heavy smoking.
Also, the code names for the royal family in event of their deaths are:
- Operation Fourth Bridge for the eventuality of the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
- Operation Menai Bridge for the eventual death of the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles
other code names used have been:
- Operation Tay Bridge for the death of the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth (the queens mum) in 2002
I hope you find this information useful and helpful to your understanding of the royal family and history
InnocentAmerican 😁👍
In the words of the song, Kings are literately reigning men, hallelujah!
Mr Mountbatten -Windsor is still 6th in line. His position has not been changed even if he should be stripped of all his titles. He wanted out so let's make it official.
Maybe you should react to Eurovision
lmao god no!
reacting to Eurovision is like reacting to somebody giving birth then again and again
"Technically" The Queen has more in common with your President than the Prime Minister in that she is the Head of State as the executive. The Prime Minister is part of the executive branch and in practical terms acts like the Presidential branch you have though of course.
having a monarch stops the prime minster from thinking that they are head of state
When Princess Diana died (yeah I know she wasn't a princess) they had to rush a funeral, and so used Operation Tay Bridge. That was the Queen Mother's funeral plan. All these plans are rehearsed regularly so it goes off without a hitch and that the timing is exact.
I'll probably listen to God Save the Queen.... by the Sex Pistols on, followed by So What! by ANL.
GOD save the queen
‘Cause tourists are money
Interesting fact: Her official royal seal has been removed from the gates of Buckingham Palace recently; for the first time since 1952.
I can tell from your channel this probably isn’t something you’re react to but, check out some clips and songs from the British show Horrible Histories. It’s a amazing comedy and musical show aimed at British kids that is incredibly historically accurate. Lot of British history and history from all around the world. Informative, funny and songs that will get stuck in your head.
I'm up for all suggestions and even if I don't react to it I will try to check it out.
God Save the Queen 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
We mean it man
I think it should bypass him and go to William.
Me too
There has been talk about this, but would he stand aside?
It will only pass Charles if he dies before Wills
@@Retrochild1979 unless he abdicates?
@@charliecorneloues7668 He's been far too opinionated. The I think William is much more regal and kinglike.
It could have at least shown London Bridge. THATS TOWER BRIDGE!! 😂
Regarding the value of the Crown Jewels. It's basically impossible to determine due to historical significance (several pieces date to the mid-1600s), but overall it would be billions. The sceptre alone include a 530ct diamond that is valued at around $525.
Also, there are several additional elements of the jewels not pictured here: a jewelled sword, additional crowns, various rings, vestments, gold trumpets, even a gold altar dish. The total collection has 142 pieces and over 23 thousand gem stones.
