Pomp & Pageantry of the British Monarchy

[rickcoram1]

60 superlative years as Britain's most loving, most loved; most honourable, most dignified; most dutiful, most personable; most intelligent and most gracious sovereign we have had reign over us in her bloodline's 1000 year history. And it appears to me that it will continue for a long time yet, wanted by the greater majority of its Commonwealth nations and their people.

[saluteforever]

well done you are right about monarchy may our Queen reign forever!!!!

[ukuk2012ukukuk2012uk]

4:00 is in belfast yay northern ireland

[Nathanderweise8]

Who is this honourable gentleman at 2:22 standing on the balcony and reading out something? The proclamation of HM The Queen in 1953?

God save the Queen and the Royal Family!

[Rotebuehl1]

Amazing! The singing reminds me of Edith Piaf! Whatever! King George V wasn't the ONLY SURVIVING King in the West! CERTAINLY NOT! Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Spain, Italy, mentioning Western Europe, they ALL kept their Monarchies after WW I UP TO THIS DAY! Only the german, austrian-hungarian & russian crowns fell, the ones that lost the war, that's all! Hell, even on tube accounts of monarchist we find republican propaganda! It's a cancer...

[324wilson]

@Rotebuehl1 Republican prooaganda? Certainly not! I am a stern-monarchist. As a matter of fact, I found the Monarchist League of YouTube. But you are right. I perhaps didn't phrased that the correct way. What I meant to say was that he was the only surviving King of western-super-power. By the way, Italy is a republic.

[Rotebuehl1]

@324wilson True, Italy is a republic since about 1945. She became a republic because the USamerican winners manipulated the referendum (in which monarchists won!) with the help of some mafiosi, since the latter were "helping" the allied (i.e. usamerican) cause! When I said many countries kept their monarchies I was focussing on the aftermath of WW I! But I'm sure, you and I are not so far apart in our opinions! I just happen to react forcibly when I smell republicanism! Please accept my apology

[dexz17]

@Rotebuehl1 hey i know i might sound ignorant, but what do you call that exactly the music, i mean the genre, and how to do it i wanna create my master piece

[alex471996]

I disagree with one statement.

"She has done her best as Queen"

Well she is our head of State and Yet she does nothing. She has power and infuence. I want a monarchy, I know it does and will do good for our ation and all of the other nations she is head of State of (16 countries)

But please do you job as head of state. Whip this new government into line. Tell them the adjenda don't just sign every bill that comes through. YOUR HEAD OF STATE AND START ACING LIKE ONE!

God Save the Queen.

[EdwardRommel]

According to Transparency International's CPI(Corruption Perception Index) many of the least corrupt Govts. in the world are former British Empire colonies such as Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, USA and barabados.

Thank You Brits for giving us all good Government.

[loopycatspark]

Your intro is wrong. The 'British' Monarchy is only a few centuries old - when a Scottish King James VI inherited the English crown.

[324wilson]

@loopycatspark You are correct but had I put "English" Monarchy the many of my YouTube friends from Scotland and Wales would take great offence! Nowdays, most people say "British Monarchy," even when they refer to the times of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Technically, the Queen is "Elizabeth I" in Scotland, yet she is known as "Elizabeth II" everywhere on the world, including Scotland.

[Rotebuehl1]

@loopycatspark One more opinion! The "British" Monarchy started something like 1704 (correct me if I'm not being precise), when Queen Anne (correct me if I'm...) & parliament declared England-Wales & Scotland a UNITED KINGDOM! But, after all, it's not accurate, because King James VI Stuart of Scots (correct me if...) inherited the English throne, the "British" Monarchy being, in fact, the English one! "British Monarchy" actually started with EIIR & the autonomies! What would you say? Cheers

[MrJeffreydunson]

Great video, 324wilson thank you.

[ThibetanMonk]

I.......,do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors. So help me God. Those were the words I solemny recited many many years ago. To my last breath will I keep them in my hearth.

[AugustusAurelianus]

Fabulous video! in few minutes it embodies the greatness of the British Empire, which I so much have admired throughout my life!

[1tiredpup]

Would that we Americans had HM Queene Elizabeth as our head of state instead of obama.

God save the Queeen and God help us Americans under our present dictatorship.

[Monarchieforum]

God save the Queen! God save the British Monarchy and all its souvereigns!

[thebigJM92]

Possibly your best video 324wilson! Congratulations!

My god anyone who watches this and does not cherish the monarchy in their heart does not deserve to be a subject!

God save the Queen, and I will do my best to help him!

[MartinIDavies]

@thebigJM92  you are always spot on... :-)

[dougiedracula]

Looking forward to seeing Her Majesty the Queen of Canada in Ottawa on our national holiday!!

God Save the Queen!!

btw awesome video!

[MIDNITEDUCK07]

I cannot stress how much respect I do have for Her Majesty and the British crown..From an respectable American, God Bless your Queen (takes off hat and toast.; )

BTW When is the next state visit to the States??

[324wilson]

It's always great to see people all around the world admires our Royal Family.

The Queen will be visiting New York this year but not on a state visit. Instead, Her Majesty will address the United Nations Assembly as Queen of Commonwealth Realms. You can go to the Official Website of British Monarchy to find out more!

[MIDNITEDUCK07]

One other question dear friend, Has she speaken openly to whether she would leap frog the throne to Prince William.. I do believe he would be fit due to Prince Charles evident damage to his name..

[324wilson]

No, she has not. Elizabeth, I am sure may think that William will be a better for the monarchy but as Queen, Her Majesty cannot forget that principle of the monarchy is to give the throne to the oldest son, no matter what his age is!

[sgthkp]

324wilson, at 2.41The Prince Philip was saluting in American style with his palm facing down instead of the British traditional saluting with the right palm facing front. Can you tell me why.

[Apachecatdog]

That's the Naval salute, each force has its own and in that picture he is wearing the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet.

[lientur21]

¿ Who sing ???????

[mcinnis3862]

I absolutely loved the fife & drum version on "The Grenadier" you chose! I found myself tapping my foot and pressing my neck back into my collar... Funny how great tunes bring back memories...

[DreadfulSolemnity]

The Queen has shown in the past that she is willing to use at least some of her Crown Prerogatives, most notably, when she sacked Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1975 through her Governor-General John Kerr, whose "buy back the farm" policies were a threat to her own control of British-Australian raw materials company, Rio Tinto. The Queen overthrew Whitlam using a governor General who acts as the Queen's own representative. The Governor-General of Canada is named Michelle Jean.

[greenapplesnapple]

what exactly does the royal family do? like doesnt parliment make the laws and stuff? so what does the queen do? sorry im not trying to be disrespectful or anything, but im just wondering.

[324wilson]

Nothing makes me happier than to answer this question for the people who has no idea and people who have a courage to ask that question.

Well, this question really doesn't have one simple answer. First, The office of the Queen is a constitutional fire extinguisher with potent mixtures of powers in great emergences. Like a real extinguisher, it appears in bright colours and is strategically located..............

[324wilson]

...But everyone hopes that its emergency powers are never used; the fact that they are not used doesnt make it useless.

As Head of State, The Queen maintains close contact with the Prime Minister, with whom she has a weekly audience when she is in London, and with other Ministers of the Crown. She also has an annual audience with the Chancellor before he presents his Budget and sees all Cabinet papers and the records of Cabinet and Cabinet Committee meetings...............

[324wilson]

...She receives important Foreign Office telegrams and a daily summary of events in Parliament. Last year she carried out more than 450 engagements. She visits school, hospitals, attend many dinners. And these occasions are not fun. These are formal affairs (usually carried out with strangers) that require behaviours, etiquette, endure, dedication to the organization one represents, and goodwill. She is patron of more than 620 organizations...........

[324wilson]

...And Robert Lacey believes that the Queen only sleeps for 5-6 hours and rest of her time is dedicated to her paper, governmental work, visiting other countries and charities. She is the major part of our culture and culture is the glue that keeps us together, without that the country is a faceless wasteland with some people living on it. At the age of 21, she promised to her life and soul to the country and many people would agree that she has kept her promise to this day.

[greenapplesnapple]

thanks!

[9ops]

That is a very good description of the Queen's duties, and the description of a great monarch!

The video is great, too.

[arabellasp2]

Charles, you are an affront to your Mother and Grandmother before you, both of whom have been exemplary in their service to this country. What kind of country would we be living in now had Edward VII left his wife for Mrs Kepple (one of his many prostitutes and Camilla's ancestor)? In marrying this awful common whore you have proven to us all that you are not, as your wife Princess Diana advised us many years ago, fit to be king. And your vile new wife is not fit to be even a true and loyal wife

[VaD3rTM]

Such a glorious Sovereign HM is and the strongest symbol for our country there has ever been, long may she reign! God bless and save her noble Majesty.

[TheLordCurzon]

God Save our noble Queen!

[YorkshirePunk02]

What an absolute beautiful Queen and Leader. God Save the Queen.

[meroyn]

gawd bless er maj!

[VO1XH]

Keep these videos coming 324Wilson,it is good to see that you take such pride in producing these and it must take up a lot of your time. The music certainly stirs my British soul and makes me feel proud to be of British descent.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

[balthasarEF]

long live the queen! long live the monarchy!

[tyke45]

absalutely brilliant

[Knowzilla13]

Long live Her Majesty Elizabeth II, of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica and Her Other Realms and Territories QUEEN, Duke of Normandy, Lord of Mann, Supreme Governor of the CoE, Paramount Chief of the Fijian Islands, Head of the Commonwealth!

LONG MAY SHE REIGN!

[davetheo1]

@Knowzilla13 just a tiny correction, HM is Paramount Chief of Fiji (Tui Viti)- not the Fijian Islands. Whilst we're a republic, by virtue of being the Heir & Successor to Victoria, HM holds the title Tui Viti which places her as head of the traditional government of Fiji which is separate and distinct from the State of Fiji (which is, as I've said, a republic).

[meroyn]

Attention all Loyal Britons, our country is falling through the floor,

from this year on, NO BRITISH COINAGE WILL HAVE BRITTANNIA ON THEM!

[angloarabia]

Long Live The Queen!

[SirFact]

Very Nice.

[PaxBritannica1]

Here here to EdRommel, We nobbled those dutch good eh? :D

You have to remember though it was Loyalist Americans that represented the British armed presence mostly, the Actual army did not come in force till the War started.

God save the Queen, Rule Britannia!

[PaxBritannica1]

Indeed, but We have fallen and you have risen from our ashes, I'd have no problem with that usually, but some Americans and their ignorance astounds and annoys me greatly, I can tell your not one of those though.

God save the Queen and Rule Britannia!

[EdwardRommel]

Britain planted the seed that became America. America and Britain are eternal friends. We love our mother country and everything we have we owe to Great Britain.

God Save the Queen and Rule Britannia!

[TANKMANSEVEN]

Mr.PaBritannica, I fully understand what you are saying. I have met many people here that do not realize that our Founding Fathers considered themselves Englishmen first and Colonials second. We, the people of the U.S.A should never forget our past or where we came from. My fathers family is from England and some of them became Colonials while some stayed in England,

I have always felt the pull,in my heart for England.

Thank you for the invite.

Respectfully

Tankmanseven

[PaxBritannica1]

It is strange but also great that some Americans still feel an attachment to the British way of things, Edward Rommel, you are a respectful chap I can tell, thank you for your respect to our monarch and way of life when so many Americans cast it aside as idiotic and meaningless.

God Save the Queen and Rule Britannia!

[EdwardRommel]

You are most welcome Mr. Pax,

Don't forget it was Englishmen who wrote the Great American Constitution, a living and breathing document that is ever changing with the times.

[Resholden]

And as Flanders and Swann said (see Youtube under their names please) hee hee "if it weren't for the English you'd all be Spanish!"

[PaxBritannica1]

Here here chaps.

God save the queen, may she live for ever more.

[EdwardRommel]

I love this video...and I love the Queen...may she live to 100...

Rule Britannia ...Britannia Rules the Waves!

[stokrotka1011]

Great video!

God save the Queen!

[Caxton1942]

What I would like to live to see because I saw the marriage of The Prince of Wales to Lady Diana in 1981...would be the coronation of a King William Vth. If that is the name he might choose. Finally, to have the Princess of Wales's son on the throne. Does anyone disagree with me? Just my opinion.

[meroyn]

let things tak their natural course, you never know, Charles might be an interesting King. I'm sure he'll challenge old traditions and get into a lot of trouble with Parliament, jus like his namesake Charles 1st lol. But a monarch like him might make a world of difference in ending corruption and helping the environment. I'll be an old man by the time Williams children become monarch

[Caxton1942]

I would like to add this. HM Queen Victoria refused to be crowned with the Crown of St. Edward. It must feel like having a small anvil on one's head. But, HM EIIR went ahead and allowed the Archbishop of Canterbury to place that heavy thing on her head at her coronation. Even at that early age, HM showed to the world what pluck she had and has to this day. I think that something like that would topple off my head. May God Save HM!

[Cappadoccia04]

Nicely made video. Very pleasant, indeed.

[anaclet]

Long live the Queen!

[Clarice1202]

God save the queen!

[Mat2778]

Long live the British and Dutch (807th in line of succesion to the British throne) queen!! Long to reign over us!!!

Our monarchy is "just" 194 years old. But yours 1138!!!

[meroyn]

the queen can trace her heritage back to the kings of Wessex who ruled from 510 AD. 1499 years ago

[meroyn]

Gawd save the Queen!

[Nathanderweise8]

Thank you for this absolutely stunning video.

I know one thing for sure: In some decades even the swelltering republic of Germany will have transformed once more and then forever in a constitutional monarchy!!!

Either that or I will emigrate to the United Kingdom, just to be part of that glorious country and empire!

Long live HM Queen Elizabeth II, Long live all future monarchs of The UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

I love the British people!

[dinyar65]

Her Majesty has the best experience of governing the country and the best knowledge of the British Constitutional Conventions and Practices. Long Live Her Majesty!

[historyfreak1]

beautifullllllllllllllllllllll­ video!

[loveQUEENelizabeth]

The Royal Family has been utterly selfless in their philanthropy and their contributions to charity and a humanitarian cause exceeds those of most individuals and indeed, nations. In her annual message, she provided a message of hope to both those affected by the economic crisis, and to those who have friends and relatives serving in armed conflicts abroad. Her own children and grandchildren have placed themselves in harm's way,

........

[loveQUEENelizabeth]

cont

......

in support of their nation and the common ideals for which we stand, and are deserving of the same admiration and respect any other combatant on the field is afforded. It is unfair and inaccurate to ignore the Royals' personal sacrifice in both charity and war.

[BritishRoyalFilms]

I am ashamed to say but I was republican because I was ignorant about How the Monarchy really works. After searching on the Royal Family and the instituion itself, I have nothing more to say than ... LONG LIVE HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II!

[monarchistcanada]

Most beautiful video about the Monarchy on Youtube. Thanks, 324wilson.

God save our noble Queen!

[Caxton1942]

That Her Majesty has devoted every ounce of her being to the people of the British realm to me is beyond dispute. HM might outlive me, but the oath taken at the investiture is not for the short-term but for a lifetime. It truly is absolutely astounding. May God Save Her Majesty ad saecula saeculorum.

[monarchistcanada]

Beautifullllllllllll

Long live our Royal Family.

God save the Queen!

[konstantinop]

Well Done!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!!!

[regszikora]

It was just a fun bugging at your expense. I just hope that this little bit of dialogue will get people to look at the History just a little bit more. People are very quick to point out that she is a German Queen on an English Thrown. In a sense that is true. However she is a direct ancestor of Egbert an English King 1,206 yrs ago. Her mother was pure Scottish. Her German line is mixed with every European Royal House including English. So if anything she is more Scottish than anything.

[regszikora]

Okay Wilson my first correction of sorts!!!!!!!! The First king of England was Egbert from 802. He was the first Cerdic King, which Albert the Great is part of. Now for the serious part, this is a truly wonderful video. I love it and like Caxton 1942 pointed out thank-you or all your efforts.

God Save our Gracious Queen, Queen Elizabeth II of Canada and all her other realms

[324wilson]

I know! It wasn't until later I realized! Well, we all make mistakes. Don't we? and your welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it...

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!

[xurich]

Delightful.

[Caxton1942]

Wilson, as I have stated before, I have almost stopped watching anything on YT dealing with HM because of the scurrilous nature of so many of the postings. I cannot abide the disrespect that so many show. That said...yours are tasteful and anything but that. Thank you for your efforts.

[gilcarosio]

Awesome video!
