  • I am 50 miles north of london and i would not watch that stupid queen do anything, she an inbreed bitch, wake up our royal family are german's and a corrupt regime, she is a negative uncaring bitch trust me

  • Please visit my YOUTUBE channel and learn the truth about that QUEEN... shes not what you think she is. LOL Who are the Rothschilds? What is the NEW WORLD ORDER ???

  • Sarah, you need to put a mask on when you talk 'cause I can't concentrate looking at your BEAUTIFUL FACE......

  • "Watch the Birdie" is a common phrase in America (like "Say Cheese") - when someone is trying to get you to look into a camera (and smile). I couldn't find the origin of the phrase. I can think of two possible reasons. First, saying the word "Birdie" forces the mouth into a smile. Second, the "flash bars" from the early days of photography resemble a bird's perch. Having your subject "watch the birdie" would get them to look directly into the flash (and toward the lens of the camera).

  • Loved the closing credits.

  • TDS is like a drug I missed it a lot:)
