You must know Albert who repeated this old chestnut over and over again 🙃 and always thought he was funny . Nasty , spiteful gossip .. especially when it was about me .

@@suzannelacy8093 what do you mean? I thought it was a sweet thing. Who is mean and vicious, and who,are you?. I am confused.

I’ve heard that story repeated quite often but didn’t know it was about Billy and Reg.

I have heard this too, but feel that it is **apocryphal** at best. For those not familiar with the *word*…GI&FO.

😭🤣😂

I hope it's treatable, it often is these days, even stage 4 with immunotherapy etc. Good luck.

Cancer free! We all know those where the news is disastrous. Also, cancer can come back at any time. Still, I enjoyed that wonderful clip.

​@@leftyspadegood news friend!

Bullying at work 🤔

@Greg One might think the assumption that Billy and his mates were perverts on account of their sexual predilections. 💁🏾‍♀️

Ive met a few …

Who would want to?

Harvey Weinstein ?

My pleasure, thanks.

Yes

Kramden agrees

If that's true & I like to think it is Meg will be waving to a lot of people on her way down.😂🤣🤣🤣

The best show ever “ Honeymooners “

@@user-ke8st8jc1v agreed. Would respond further, but Carlos is teaching me to do the mambo right now. Best wishes to you

Too true

For the evil treatment of those young men like Liam working under his charge, there will be no resting in peace for William Tallon.

Tosser.

I did stay loyal to the late Queen Mother. It would have been nice for Princess Diana if her servants had remained quiet.

I’m so sorry Carol. Best wishes to you.

Yes despite him being human he was a loyal servant. There must be others in your local area who feel equally alone. Where are you located? Possibly someone here may be local to you.

​@@Shining-Star-pppl]

He was very loyal. He could have made himself very rich by writing a book or going on Oprah. He was obviously a man of integrity in that respect.

@@rosemarybaxter9120 Agree Rosemary. The press hounded him with offers of money until the day he died. But he never broke his silence. What loyalty.

You did a great job. It's well put together

Nhlrse guard’s t

Brilliant! Congrats on making a very interesting documentary. I knew nothing of the other 'queens' that were loyal staff.

A lovely story, indeed/

Omg so have I !

Yes, way to paint a very tragic picture of what seemed to be mostly a very privileged life

Exatly.. he fell drunk one time, big deal, who hasn't 😂

Doesn't not make him an imbred Illegitimate paedophile and murderer. Also all on record.

Really!?

Yeah, really and so what ???????​@@AroundTheWorldWithEase

You're most welcome, I enjoyed it too and thought it should be available again!

You're absolutely right. I was quick to judge as I watched this. But, by the end I changed my opinion. Apart from one, disgruntled member of staff, there seemed nothing to criticise, other than being utterly trustworthy, loyal and being held in fondness by his mistress. A world I can only imagine, which he deftly worked within, for 50 years. His funeral was attended by so many, including Lord Snowden and the great of showbiz. An extremely interesting man, who lived an extraordinary life.

The Royals were very unkind to put him out of his home. They are a hard lot at times.

Pretty obvious he abused the living crap out of his power!...I wonder WHAT the Queen said to him in those 2 hours.....he did alright, he certainly didn't end up on the street!...MAYBE the Queen said...IF you write or speak about anything you witnessed we will expose you for what you truly are!

Imagine he had a great teacher his Boss of 50 years

Billy had the BEST of teachers. The queen mum was a vixen.

on the other hand, there were credible allegations of the sexual harassment of younger male staff. that is never ok.

Yes, I found the swivel -view point of this mockingyoumrntary distasteful this time round.

HRH Princess Margaret should not have been exposed to the public in her sad state.

​@@liberty_and_justice67I doubt anyone "exposed" the Princess. Given the sort of woman she was I think you'll find the decision was hers alone

President Harry S Truman said you meet the same people on the way down that you met on the way up.

True! If he hadn't been such a thorough douche, he'd have had some help and support.

They left out the incest and pedophilia.

@@djquinn11 Probably because it had nothing to do with Tallon…

She gives the impression that she doesn't give much of a shit about anyone except Phillip. She made sure her children were educated so that the people surrounding them knew their role of sycophancy, and of course more money than you can shake a stick at. But care about, loving them? Nope. And none of them gives a shit about the hoi polloi including the staff.

@@khaosssssss1727 Randy Andy being the best example of that.

@@rjwassenaar7511 You're so right. He got absolutely no parenting to say the LEAST.

He's dead!!!! Duh

@@jag5470 like your reply

More like a guy that stepped on people as he climbed the ladder on his way up. A guy that let his position go to his head & killed off any & all humility that was left in him.

I think the QM could have left him a little cottage in her will, or some money. He probably assumed he would be looked after once the QM had died. But on the bright side, he spent many years doing a job he loved, with an employer he adored. It must be really hard to adjust to normal life after working in the rarefied atmosphere of Clarence House and the Royal world. There can be no other job like it. It was a shame Billy lorded it over the other staff though.

@@Meiday11 Very Well Said! Exactly!!

William did a lot more than serve drinks. He was the works manager of a very substantial events company.

Servant hierarchy...he was top dog. A butler is the boss of the servants. He would have kept the house running smoothly, as well as being personal servant to the Queen Mother. Even in small households, where you only had a butler, a few maids and one footman who doubled as a chauffeur, the Butler was boss. He was closest to the master of the house, often doubling as his personal valet, if a valet was not employed. So for him to be butler of a royal household...that's a huge undertaking. He was not just a bar boy.

He observed a lot of VIPs and obviously had a lot of dirt on them. Look how the paparazzi was after him after the Queen Mum died. And he must have had a lot of responsibilities in that position to run a house of that size and for the people with immense egos. He would have been accountable for his staff and his making the slightest mistake. I wouldn't want to do something like that. I'm sure he was paid very well though so it's not like I feel sorry for him in any way.

@@donnagelina8548 Yes, and can you imagine the horror of the gutter press and television when they finally got hold of some of his treasured PRIVATE correspondence and momentos only to find that the juicy scandals that they hoped for WERE NOT THERE ?

@@donnagelina8548Royal staff were not paid well .

Exactly hahahha

@Tony McNeil Very good observation. Maybe the Family expected Billy would keep Margaret in the background, for her own good. His friend here, Reta Michael, relays what Billy told her (true or not) - that he was following Princess Margaret's own instructions.

I felt so sorry for Princess Margaret, being shown to the public in that state. She must have felt mortified.

The firm needs fall guys.

@@comealongcomealong4480 Spot on. I remember a sketch on one of David Frost's earliest outings, "The Frost Report." It concerned overbearing waiters: Customer in Restaurant (Ronnie Barker), "Waiter ! I'll have the sweet now." Waiter (John Cleese) "Not till you've finished your cabbage." Princess Margaret (Who is used to being obeyed), "William ! Wheel me out with the others ..... NOW !" William, "No ! You are in no fit state." Can you imagine ! The shouting, growling, threats and spitting would have been heard in The Mall.

There’s no “good guy” in the story, so it won’t be made.

@@mattkaustickomments I disagree, things don't have to be so black & white anymore. Most viewers are way more sophisticated than that and appreciate a complex character. I could really see someone like Hugh Grant being cast in such a juicy role!

@@aurevoiralex in a miniseries maybe. But not in a mainstream movie.

Clearly Thomas Barrow from Downton Abbey!

@@josephallwood3681 exactly

More champagne plz 🤪🥂🍾

please no way

Oh well, there's always Barrow and Downton....😘

@@yall2743 Oops, I think you are right, I'll delete it, sorry... Loved this video, BTW...

Well, when you consider the value of living rent free in grace and favor housing, how do you know the pension was small? Look at the percentage of income housing costs you … then add that back into your paycheck and see what it does to your finances.

me too

Also very cruel

@@jeanmyers1787 always found her same mould had her mother she didn't go much on lady Di that's why i didn't like her plenty of skeletons in that families cupboards

That Liam was a snitch. Just ghastly.

Lol, me too, always something interesting.

Poor Billy. He had a sad end.

His bizarre behaviour towards people he managed would certainly not be tolerated in a unionized shop, right? The Royal Family ought to learn how to retire someone with grace, I think. When my father retired from a university where he managed the heating plant a year earlier than he had to, he got bizarre gifts such as a coal shovel from his workers because he'd started out in a heating plant 35 years before shovelling coal, a filing cabinet from office staff he worked with, and a strange instrument in a wooden box from the Engineering Faculty. I imagine the university also gave him a going away party. My Grandmother when she retired at 65 was able to come in to work a couple of times a month to make the voluntary parting of the ways easier. My husband got a going away party and has an annual luncheon invitation near Christmas time from his old company although that may be gone since it hasn't been held in a couple of years. The Royal Family didn't do anything special for William? Even Prince Harry doesn't mention the name of his mother's butler in his book. I guess staff are just invisible to the Royal Family. Maybe, they should learn some manners? What's wrong with taking Princess Margaret out to greet people on the Queen Mother's 100th birthday? She wanted to go. Maybe, she wanted to participate in this memorable occasion. We can't all be perfect to the day we die, can we?

He got his Biblical three score years and ten so that was good. He died doing what he loved His life partner had died already Tallon. I wonder what his family of origin thaought about William? The bullying claims are disturbing especially as Willliam is described as volatile…. Oh well, sigh

So long as you know and invest in yourself then it is not an issue. You are paid for your "labour" and the most important thing is "to know your worth". When it is time to go...then leave with dignity & grace. He could have looked after himself, but choose not too instead relying on his loyalty to be recognised & rewarded, following QM death always a mistake in my humble opinion.

@@johnson2joy prince Phillip left money for some of his servants, can’t remember whom. That is generosity, because they will never be wealthy, no matter what they do it with the money they make it. Royals pay minimum wages to their employees. I watched a documentary, can’t remember where. It is horrible paying job for to much responsibility. But o guess people line up to do it.

He was very fond of watching people's backs.

He wasn't one of her children, he was a paid employee and he received his pension.

@@cmcmahon8551 which he paid into.

@Stanly Stud Knob

@@sonofednawelthorpe8609....... NICE ONE! 👍 Phil Liverpool UK 🇬🇧

Or alcohol..

Michele Jensen: Didn’t you watch this? It wasn’t his heart BUT HIS LIVER THAT KILLED HIM!!

Some of the royals are a cold lot.. employees and ex wives are expendable..treat appallingly..seems poor William tallon had a taste of that.. uncaring and cold..

If you’re not one of them they could care less.

Did you not watch the documentary? He was a drunk and a sexual predator.

It's currently a West End play, which will no doubt be filmed🙂

Exactly. Margaret could've done great things with her life, but she partied her best-looking years (30's and early 40's) away, and accomplished nothing.

How do you know? Sounds like a fun place to work! Never a dull day there. 😂😂😂

​@@Shining-Star-they're pulling your leg😂

Poor Billy my arse, he was awful, an ugly little man, vengeful and nasty, additionally he indulged the queen mothers nasty, racist behaviors, pity on the household staff members he targeted and made miserable, too many people paid the price of Billy's mean games for their loyalty and devotion to their job and household, Billy got exactly what he bargained for, he made his bed and finally had to lie in it

You don't need a psychologist to know that unfettered power can be intoxicating and corrupting.

Lady Diana was just a treasure who outshone the whole family.

​@@ElizabethSimms-yz2mx😂😂😂

Maybe QE2 detested him, or was upset , disappointed w him …. Bc otherwise. It’s inhuman not to recognize someone. (Of course he was even lower than inhuman for the way he reportedly treated others. So, no evidence of any self reflection, but whines when it comes back around to him.

Backstairs BULLY.

Well Lady Diana thanked him a lot in personal letters. I was not surprised by that in the least because she was an adorable, sweet, kind hearted soul.

That's what I was thinking. A two-hour visit was very clear evidence of her valuing his past service.

If the more junior servants did a slovenly job and he allowed the Queen Mother to see it, wouldn’t it reflect poorly on him?

Possibly rat catching.

@@NOBODY-fz3im agreed about the girl on the bars. When I was a cop you would not believe some of the fights I saw between the queens. Blood and hair everywhere.

Billy's behavior was disgusting, I'd say karma got the bitch, what docu were you listening to? He was a calculated ugly man with actions and choices to match

Spitting image would be better.

They didn't even lift. No physiques to speak of

I will get that. I.m sure he must have been so fascinating and a wonderful proud loyal person.

@@christinalogan311 I am very surprised that William Tallon wasn't mentioned at all in the Crown. Perhaps he's too controversial to be covered even in the upcoming Season 5.

Perhaps Billy is portrayed as Thomas Barrow in Downton Abbey?

I'm here because I have just finished reading that book.
